Headphones #90: Memories, the salt of life

It’s also good that the next generations can still hear what they haven’t experienced in a slightly modified form because everything is still too young, because everything will come back. At some point the liberating laughter should come back, but that has been stuck in your throat for a long time in view of all the events in the near or far vicinity.

But the smile that the Block & Crown remix of “Dolce Vita” by RyanParis triggered has still not completely disappeared from my face. The 80s classic from the Italo-Disco (we used to romp around there once a year on vacation with our parents on the Upper Adriatic and the disco was the place to retreat to check your coolness factor and score points with the girls ). If that didn’t work, which was usually the case, at least we still had Ryan Paris and his “Dolce Vita”. That was balm for the young soul. It’s nice when decades later it’s still able to trigger such memories.

Memories are part of our lives. Schoolmates, companions with whom you share a special experience throughout your life, and people who were once so important when you were young and whom you then lost sight of. “We had so much to laugh about, we needed so little to live, we didn’t sleep all night, I’m glad to see you again,” sings the Burgenlander ruby in “Oide Zeitn” (Born & Raised).

And even if you have to realize that you can’t be young forever, you stay young in spirit because the memories of the old days don’t make your youth fade away, but see them as part of life in which many things was so concise and important. Great song that reminds you of the feeling that everyone knows when you turn the wheel of time in your mind every now and then or suddenly face a person you know, although you would hardly have recognized them (“kennst mi no ?”).

Sheepdogs with Clapton flair

Memories are also triggered by the guitar on “So Far Gone” (Warner), the new song by The Sheepdogs out of. Because the “Lay Down Sally” feeling suggests Eric Clapton as a great source of inspiration. Anyone who has ever experienced how Mr. Slowhand expanded the musical cosmos will perhaps quickly make the Sheepdogs a case for plagiarism hunters, but one has to say that “So Far Gone” comes along with a nonchalance that is difficult to believe can withdraw. Especially if you come from a time when real instruments were played by real people.

Sometimes it’s the songs that you don’t immediately know why they touch you more than others. “Casseroles & Flowers” (Pennant/Believe Music) by Mike Edel is such a song. A melody that caresses the soul, an arrangement with a wonderful, because so unobtrusive and yet concise guitar solo, and a text that, on closer inspection, makes it clear that a person is processing a special experience here. The songwriter suffered a stroke a year ago and his wife was pregnant with their first child. You can hear it all here.

All the pain that the loss of someone important can bring Bishop Briggs expressed in “High Water”. She dedicates a piece of pop music to her deceased sister, which is depressing to listen to, as one can feel the full range of the Scottish woman’s feelings. “I Miss You So Much”, she sings and you can hear children’s voices from a time when the sisters still had plans together. A remarkable, intense song that goes far beyond the surface, goes far into the depths of human feelings.

“One day we will die, but not all the others.” This is how one can also encounter the thought of the finitude of life. province proffer this wisdom in “Betray your friends”, a song that makes every ballroom a madhouse with its stomping rhythm and probably also every beer tent or rather its short-term residents fall into the greatest ecstasy. A hit with an announcement.
