I was listening to music while writing about Pieter Breugel the Elders' The Triumph of Death. They seemed to contrast well together. Here they are - some details annotated with Cherokee lyrics.
The masses being driven into a coffin: "Never knew pain like this, everything die, then die... bury me."
"Bury me, marry me to the sky"
"The wind, moon the earth, the sky, Sky so high. Never knew pain like this, everything die"
Lovers oblivious in the corner "Never knew love like this... Feels like time is on my time... Cherokee, kissing me, When I'm on my way down"
I might be delusional, but I noticed some similarities between songs by The Cure and other artists! For the second time in the last hour. Don't blame me, blame iTunes Genius who made the playlist! Although, they didn't put "Guilty as charged" in the playlist - probably because I didn't have a copy in my library...
The first 15 seconds of "In Between Days" by The Cure sounds like the theme(starting at 08 seconds) in "Modern Man by Arcade Fire.
Funy enough the particular part of "In Between days" is at 08 seconds!
Also they just have a simliar undertone.
I write this post merely for interest's sake, not to make any comparison or copyright claim or anything like that.
The opening 15 seconds of The Lovecats by the Cure made me think of another song... I soon realised it was (the opening of) Guilty as Charged by the Gym Class Heroes & Estelle. I enjoy both these songs so here they are!
