Carnival Of Rust

October 22, 2008

This song had been playing since 2 days back to back in my Ipod

Lyrics :

D’ you breath the name of your saviour in your hour of need,
n’ taste the blame if the flavor should remind you of greed,
Of implication, insinuation and ill will, till’ you cannot lie still,
In all this turmoil, before red cape and foil closing in for a kill

Come feed the rain
Cos I’m thirsty for your love dancing underneath the skies of lust

Yeah feed the rain
Cos without your love my life ain’t nothing but this carnival of rust

It’s all a game, avoiding failure, when true colors will bleed
All in the name of misbehavior and the things we don’t need
I lust for after no disaster can touch us anymore
And more than ever, I hope to never fall, where enough is not the same it was before

Come feed the rain…

Don’t walk away, don’t walk away, oh, when the world is burning
Don’t walk away, don’t walk away, oh, when the heart is yearning

Go download it and listen to it !!

Music Lyrics Vs Human Body Parts

August 27, 2008

Visual artists Fernanda Viégas and Martin Wattenberg analyzed over 10,000 songs to find out which parts of the human body were mentioned the most and broke down the resulting data by genre.They called this project called Listen.

“Listen investigates the relationship between language and the body,” is the project’s manifesto. “Verbal manifestations of human physicality in music, poetry and religion are distilled to their basic elements.” By presenting those elements in such an intuitive way, Viégas and Wattenberg bring data to life graphically, so that it can be grasped in seconds.Here are visuals by genre

Alternative

Blues

Country

Electronica

Folk

Gospel

Heavy Metal

Hip Hop

Jazz

Rock

R and B

Looks like almost all the genres have eyes in common R&B has highest body part usage in lyrics and Gospel the least body parts.To me sampling of data is limited to english language and all genres not covered
