We have to chose a song with lyrics containing vivid imagery for my creative writing class. There is no better example than this song that I can possibly think of.
I wouldn't be offended at comparisons with Celine dion.
People don't really hear female vocalists with that kind of range often and they have nothing else to compare it to. Like someone who has never tasted honey, comparing it's first taste with white sugar. people always reference what they are familiar with. Except Celine, who is a great vocalist, never had this creativity or originality. she was trapped in the phony radio pop machine from an early age.
just bought the cd and i'm kind of obcessed with bat for lashes. my wallpaper, my ringtong.. she inspires me in every single way. so spiritual and different and i don't know. i feel really powerfull when i hear her songs. it sounds stupid but i think i feel like a wolf, an animal in the city. I LOVE IT.
it's actually a line from Song of Songs (or Solomon), a book of the Old Testament.
"I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not."
These verses from Chapter 3 of Songs of Songs express spiritual loneliness, longing, and subsequent union with the Divine more beautifully than anything I can imagine has been written... I love this song. Bat for Lashes reaches the depths of the Soul in Its longing search... reminding us we are not truly alone in this search...
the drums in this song kick ass, love Bat For Lashes this song though is really tribal. Great stuff. The song is about the impact that two people can have on each other and and how they maybe attracted obsessively to each other even if they aren't the best for each other. That relationship that changes your world.
Bats for Lashes have to be my FAVOURITE band ever. If Twi-bloody-Light make all their worshippers say that they "know" the Bats for Lashes, like they did with Paramore, I'm actually going to EAT them all :| :|
i love bat for lashes awesum much, defo my fave song tho...:D...i wish she was playin @ oxegen this yr cos it wud just b pretty fukin cool seein her, florrie, ellie g, prodigy, faithless AND fatboy slim all in 1 wk/nd...plus the how ever many other peeps that r playin...
Ist doch echt irre was der Natasha alles einfällt. Die hast starke Power, viel Energie und einen unheimlichen Willen. Genau die Musik gefällt mir. Wer macht sonst noch so eine Art Musik? Mir fällt niemand ein. Großartig.
@clarissaexplains3 I totaly second that! twilight has raped so many beautiful songs (e.g. muse)! it's fucking insulting for a great singer like natascha khan to get popular through this way . these fuckin mediahype and mainstream around twilight!
@goodie2shoes87 thats the bad thing about this society. people think that somebody can belt out a note and it makes them a good singer.
if you listen closely, a good singer is somebody who makes you listen to the words and feel their emotions through their singing. celine dion has dead eyes and a dead voice but a good range of notes. making her good technical singer. but emotionally boring.
Who the fuck would ever ever EVER compare this amazing woman with Celine Dion?!?!? That is like comparing the finest cut of beef with a 47 year old fucked up Twinkie! What the Fuck?!?!? Whoever actually compared the two should have their fucking ears torn off! This is an amazing song!
I think Siouxsie and the Banshees would be an even more appropriate comparison. This song in particular sounds similar to Siouxsie and Banshees' "Rhapsody".
What an awesome voice, hope they put out another album soon?
