I’m thinking of doing a theme and highlighting indie music (indie writer talking indie music? hmm), but that might change. And since I’m not exactly up on current music, some of the bands might have once been indie, but aren’t currently. These days, I don't exactly listen to much other than U2, and I figured I probably shouldn't choose U2 songs every week lol.
This week's featured song:
Turn the Lights on by Pilot Speed (formerly known as Pilate)
Turn the Lights on by Pilot Speed (formerly known as Pilate)
This isn't an actual video, it's just the audio, but it was all I could find
Favorite lines from this song:
"Show me a writer with a sad, sad song
Who lived his pain, just stayed too long"
"Show me a writer with a sad, sad song
Who lived his pain, just stayed too long"
"Show me the lover who when all seems lost
Makes lost to his grief, careless of the cost"
"Been awhile since I was on trial
For the course my life has run"
I honestly couldn’t tell you what they’re up to these days, but I love their album Sell Control For Life’s Speed, which was renamed Into the West around the time they went from being Pilate to Pilot Speed – something to do with breaking into the American market. *shrug* I love, love, love all the songs on that album, but my favorite is Turn the Lights On.
I hope you'll check them out and enjoy their music as much as I do!
And because I can't talk music without mentioning U2, I'm going to end with a favorite U2 lyric. :-)
"Every artist is a cannibal
Every poet is a thief
All kill their inspiration
And sing about the grief"
~The Fly - U2 - from Achtung Baby~

ReplyDeleteYa know, I wouldn't mind if you featured a U2 song every week ;-) they are easily in my top 5 bands, ever. I will definitely be checking out this band though. Thanks for the introduction!
