5 So Many Times Covered Oldschool Songs

Have you ever heard or Shazamed a song that is performed by a relatively new music band and than discovered that it actually has a much older original version? Or maybe you hear a song on the radio that sounds kind of familiar to you and then you realize that some time ago it was a killing hit? 

This has happened to me so often that for a while I've been thinking that I should write about it on this blog. This week is the week to do this as I just shazamed a song I simply can't stop listening to and it dates back to the 90s.

Although I love discovering new music masterpieces, I still think that oldschool music is the best. It has got some soul in it, when people actually listened to the songs that are not catchy or just sound nice, but their lyrics is meaningful and it can exist separately from the melody. 

Think of Sting, Rolling Stones, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Phil Collins, The Beatles, The Who and many more of those good old days. Their music is the pure definition of art. 

Today many modern music bands make numerous covers on the songs of the great of the 20th century. This playlist includes the songs that have been covered (by the way, some of those covers are pretty amazing), but the original versions of which date back to the 20th century.     

Artists featured in this playlist: Gnarls Barkley, Kate Bush, Oasis, Jeff Buckley, The Cure.

5 Great Romantic Songs

Love. L'amour. El amor. Lyubov'. Kohannya. There is an infinite number of ways in which you can say it and express your feelings for someone you care, be it your family, friends or your beloved, your Valentine. Yes, this week's post is related to the upcoming Saint Valentine's day.










Each and everyone of us has at least one person who he or she deeply cares about. Your boyfriend or girlfriend, your parents, children or your best friend. And in this day, the day of love, Saint Valentine's Day we tell them how much we love them. We want to make those people happy, so we something to delight them, to see them smiling. It is such a wonderful feeling, when you give and make your loved ones happy.

  The good thing about music is that it can create mood for almost everything. When it comes to romantic and love songs, it is soooo hard to choose just 5 of them to create a romantic mood. There are thousands of romantic music masterpieces. Having taken a lot of (trust me when I say this), really a lot of time, I chose 5 songs that are full of love and romance.
I should say that when it comes to love songs, nothing can beat old school music tracks. They just feel so...real and they have this internal beauty in every sound.
Speaking of the language: it does make difference. Love songs are so much better when they are performed in the three most beautiful, melodic and romantic languages: Spanish, Italian and French.

For this reason, the playlist included in this post features 2 really old and amazing songs: one by Sting and another one by U2. Sting's "Fields of Gold" is one of his masterpieces and is very pleasant to listen to. "The Ground Beneath Her Feet" by U2 is incredibly beautiful and sensual. I can't express in words how beautiful these songs are. It can only be experienced when listening to them.

As well, you will find an immortal Andrea Bocelli's hit "Besame Mucho". This song never gets old, it has lived through generations and is still very popular.

There are 2 relatively new songs in the playlist - they are simply amazing. A New York based music band Woodkid released the most romantic song of 2013 titled "I Love You". Check it out below! You will also find a very cheerful romantic song "Semplicemente" performed by an Italian band Zero Assoluto. By the way, this song was a soundtrack to a very successful Italian movie Scusa Ma Ti Chiamo Amore.

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone,

Love and be loved in return!
