Here's a bunch of good songs from Coldplay, the british alternative rock band that probably all of you are aware of.
Viva la Vida (won 'em a Grammy too back then, methinks)
Life in Technicolor II (among the best live action music vids I've ever seen)
Paradise (the popular, elephant escape VEVOcorporate upload is pointlessly shortened for my taste, so here's a proper edit with some beachfront views instead)
And no, I'm not gonna post fokn Clocks; this ain't the backdrop to some teen american TV drama from the mid-naughties, damnit!
God I hate Coldplay. Such utter teenage pop drivel Although they have sold about 18 billion albums, so maybe it's just me.
Tombstone
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 1:
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
A nice combination of Japanese and English lyrics and a great rock song. It is played during the credits of the movie "Rurouni Kenshin". I already posted the battle theme of that movie in this thread.
Eman, I sympathise...why is it that language teachers seem to be so sadistic? I think they feel the only way to get you to remember something is to go for maximum humiliation
My German teacher made us learn 99 luftballons by Nena. I remember when she appeared on Top of the Pops in the UK and traumatised a generation of British youth as she raised her arm to reveal underarm hair so long it could have been plaited! :o
Play it safe, do what Droopy says..."Always double tap!"
Well, if our teachers are sadists, then they fit to us language-learning masochists really well, don't they?
I sang "99 Luftballons" during Karaoke in Japan, but I actually don't know the song very well. But it was one of the few German songs they had in every karaoke machine, even though the umlauts were wrong....
this is something very unusual, astonishing and, to be onest, just fucking awesome.
A pianist in Poland built (probably for the first time in history) a musical instrument that Leonardo Da Vinci designed about 500 years ago.
It's like a cello, a piano and an harpsichord all fused together.
Sometimes I found myself to be very proud of the kind of beauty and magnificence that humanity might be capable of. This is one of these days.
Although they have sold about 18 billion albums, so maybe it's just me.
