The making of a live show

I really don't like Jonsi's solo music, but I find the following videos really interesting. There are 4 parts of them. It's the making of his live show. Graphics, animation, light installations, props etc. Check it out. Really clever ideas and construction. Enjoy...

Song of Midnight No.1

I'm in the middle of a youtube marathon right now... Watching, listening, learning... At the same time, like  all advertisers say, I'm brainstorming. About life, relationships, music, sounds, projects, dreams, hopes... I decided that my blog from now on will also feature some regular thematic sections and posts.

I just found three of them. The first one is the "Song of Midnight" series. In greek, "Το τραγούδι του Μεσονυχτίου". The second one is the "That's what I call a drum solo" series. And the third one is the "Who sampled whom" series.

This is the first "Song of Midnight" post.

I just stumbled upon the following song and was totally mesmerized.

As a listener, I always had a problem to emotionally relate  to songs written in languages other than English or Greek. There is a great Greek saying, which states that: "Ό,τι πεις, θα το λουστείς", which means something like: "Whatever you make fun of, will happen to you". That's exactly what happened to me.

Rökkurró,

are a band from Iceland. I can't seem to be able to figure out why such a small and tormented country produces such great artists and music. Bjork, Sigur Ros, Jonsi, Hilmar Jensson, Skulli Sverisson. Maybe it's something in their water. Enjoy.

Yours, Serafeim

Ps. I don't have a clue what the lyrics mean. But, I can let myself imagine.
