Was digging through my old music blog and found this track. More relevant than ever.
Laura Mvula - She (In South Africa)
[details=Lyrics]She walked towards you with her head down low
She wondered if there’s a way out of the blue
Who’s gonna take her home this time?
She knew that this time wouldn’t be the last time
There she waits looking for a savior
Someone to save her from her dying self
Always taking ten steps back and one step forward
She’s tired but she don’t stop
She don’t stop, she don’t stop, she don’t stop
She don’t stop, she don’t stop, she don’t stop
Every day she stood hoping for a new light
She closed her eyes and she heard a small voice say
You don’t stop, no, you belong to me
She cried, maybe it’s too late
Don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop
Don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop
Don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop
Don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop
Don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop
Don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop
Don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop
Don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop
Don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop[/details]
Here is a track from this year. Beautiful and powerful.
Laura Mvula - Overcome (Official Video) ft. Nile Rodgers
[details=Lyrics]
[Verse 1]
When your heart is broken down, down, down
And your head don’t reach the sky
Take your broken wings and fly
[Verse 2]
When your head is hanging low, low, low
And the tears, they keep falling
Take your broken feet and run
[Verse 3]
With the world up on your shoulders
Nowhere left to hide
Keep your head up, carry on
[Bridge]
It ain’t no time to die, die
Even though we suffer
Come together, be brave
Come together
All God’s children, come
[Outro]
'Round the mountain, all God’s children run
’Round the mountain, all God’s children run
’Round the mountain, all God’s children run (All God’s children run 'round the mountain, run)
'Round the mountain, all God’s children run (All God’s children run 'round the mountain, run)
'Round the mountain, all God’s children run (All God’s children run 'round the mountain, run)
'Round the mountain, all God’s children run (All God’s children run 'round the mountain, run)
'Round the mountain, all God’s children run (All God’s children run 'round the mountain, run)
'Round the mountain, all God’s children run (All God’s children run 'round the mountain, run)[/details]
Emika - My Heart Bleeds Melody
[details=Lyrics]I fled to the ocean,
broken.
As my heart bleeds melody.
I see the horizon,
one line.
As my heart bleeds melody.
As my heart bleeds melody.
As my heart bleeds melody.
Things got so out of control,
killed by desire.
Now my heart bleeds melody.
I love life,
too much.
How much,
can we feel?
As my heart bleeds melody.Now forever,
the storms in heaven,
are raining.
Now forever,
the storms in heaven,
are raining.
As my heart leeds melody.[/details]
This new Nine Inch Nails video features a game by the creator of Tempest:
That’s catchy. Would love top see them do a live version.
Orbital - Halcyon (live)
Including samples from Bon Jovi’s You Give Love A Bad Name and Belinda Carlisle’s Heaven Is A Place On Earth.
I would too, but I suspect it ain’t going to happen - I’d be surprised if Carly Rae has the cachet in Trent Reznor’s eyes of someone like, say, Gary Numan.
Yeah I would imagine if it happened it would be more about him liking the mash-up enough to want to do it live than about him being big fan but… Ive noticed musicians often have broader musical tastes than their fans so you never know.
How To Destroy Angels - Keep it together
A new interpretation, yet with classic Polymoog.
Canadians! Canadians everywhere!
Where? 
South of the border we had our own little hobo.
As you can see — you have wilderness, we have car crashes.
I loved Bronski Beat as a teen. Your post got me wondering what he was up to. Still has that incredible voice. Just as moving as ever if not more so now.
Smalltown Boy Reprise 2014
Not entirely twelve minutes of hyper-skilled noodling. Beat kicks in at 1:40.
I’ve seen him live. Watch his hands.
