Hello everyone, in this new week and on this Monday of MUSICAL MONDAY, the wonderful initiative created by @eugelys, a space in which we can share our musical experiences, regardless of whether we are musicians or not.
I have always thought that the music created in the 80s was great, and this is because of the great quality, diversity and unique energy, which marks a distinctive seal for everything that was created in those years. More than an opinion, it is a feeling, it is an emotion, which in my particular case, makes me love the music of that time, and that I continue to listen to and enjoy it decades later, and that is why today, I have brought you three good love songs from the 80s. I have previously shared three love songs from that decade in another musical initiative, but these are others, just as good. You can see that post
I generally heard the music in that decade on the radio, especially on A.M. radio stations. (Amplitude Modulated), because at that time, F.M. radio stations did not exist. (Frequency Modulation), or I bought vinyl and cassettes, which I listened to on the sound system that was in the living room of my house... that was quite an experience, really pleasant.
I listened to the three songs that I brought today to the point of exhaustion in those years, and I still listen to them today. All three are great, all three are beautiful, and without a doubt, they transmit a lot of that feeling that we call LOVE. That being said, let's hear them.
Mis canciones para este Musical Monday / My songs for this Musical Monday
Who doesn't remember the iconic video of the Norwegian band A-HA for the song TAKE ON ME? I heard and saw this song for the first time in an ice cream parlor, which had a color television from those eighties, where they showed it, and it was incredible. I really liked the music, but I liked the video more, I think that the animation made with a graphite pencil effect, and the passage from one dimension to another through a mirror, was key to its success, and of course, how catchy it is , it has a wonderful rhythm, it is a fresh, pleasant, light, youthful melody. And although the lyrics are nothing to write home about, it was a song that was super fashionable everywhere, and that also made many people fall in love. Here I share the official video.
The second song that I want to share with you today is, like the previous one, from 1985, (I think this year was really special, because of the amount of good music and movies that came out), and it is about the beautiful “Slave to love”, by the British singer Bryan Ferry. I paid attention to this song for the first time, in 1989, when I saw the movie Nine ½ Weeks, because it is part of the soundtrack of that movie, and I LOVED it. Musically it is very beautiful, and even when it is pop, it is pop as an adult, more complex and sophisticated, with an interesting musical richness, beautiful second voices, and good lyrics. Here I leave you several videos, the official one, one set with the movie “Nine ½ Weeks” and a live performance by Bryan Ferry.
And to close my Musical Monday today, I have brought you “Take my breath away” by the American band BERLIN. This song, from 1986, was the main song of the movie TOP GUN, starring the then handsome Tom Cruise. It is a really beautiful song, musically and lyrically, and without a doubt with a quite significant emotional charge. Like the previous one, I enjoyed this song when watching the movie TOP GUN, I think in 1988. Here I leave you the official video of this beautiful song.
