Tuesday
Well well well, it has been a week since returning to the IDS, and I must say I'm starting to adjust to life back here pretty nicely. Perhaps, even the music. I must say that some of the lyrics certainly hit home, from the awe-inspiring to the simple but deeply meaningful, so, with great pride in my heart, I bring you...
Top 5 Most Meaningful Lyrics Played in IDS 2:
5. "Brazil...lalalalalalalalaaaa..."
A brilliant lyric that truly exudes the many rhythmic and thematic naunces of the 'samba' style that the Brazillians are so synonymous with. The continuous use of alliteration in the second half of the lyrics is a gracefully used literary device.
4. "Woah woah...boom boom boom boom"
An action-packed lyric here that seems to be taken straight out from a John Woo movie. The strong rhythmic element accentuates the excitement implied by the lyric, whilst still capturing the initial feelings of apprehension and imbalance in a tense situation.
3. "Jump...jump...jump...jump...jump..."
A theme very much in vogue in these parts. The lyric concisely captures the intent of the piece of music, as well providing a powerful sense of movement. Another fantastic use of alliteration in emphasising the effect of the lyric.
2. "Go cheetah, get banana..."
An exploration into the behaviours of animals in their natural habitat, and the impulse of humans to control what is essentially uncontrollable. Also an exploration into the dietary preferences of animals and humans, and their correlation. Could also be seen as a extension of the man-dog relationship into a man-cheetah relationship. A lyric that is concise and full of depth.
1. "Calcutta...taxi taxi taxi in...Calcutta..."
A deep and complex lyric providing profound insight into the transportation situation in India. In addition to the geographical emphasis on the capital of India with the linguistic capital emphasis on its subject, the lyric also addresses the congestion and sheer density of public transportation available in the country.
OK enough bull for now, don't forget to buy tickets to Storm in a Fishbowl!
