So I really
had a hard time pulling together an idea for tonight. Like, really hard. I went
through so many artists in my head; there are so many artists that I could have
chosen that start with “D”, but they all just felt like a no brainer. Def
Leppard? Too obvious. Daughtry? Too easy? Deep Purple? The blog would be way
too long.
Sooooo,
instead of trying to focus in on one artist, I decided to go into a couple
different duets!
The first
one I chose is *drum roll please*….
This song
is a powerful ballad. I’ve always been a big Evanescence fan – I love the rock
sound with Amy Lees sweet and pure voice. What drew me to this song was the
combination of a growly, gravely voice mixed in with Amys.
The feel of
the song is very inviting as well. The emotion that pours from this song is
indescribable.
It makes
you feel like you’re actually listening to a conversation between two people in
that situation. It’s just a really moving song and really powerful, to me
anyways.
Another
song that really makes your heart ache for the two people involved. The whole
tone of the song, from “We’re not broken just bent, and we can learn to love
again.” To “Used to lie so close to me, there’s nothing more than empty sheets
between our love.” Gives the impression of, hey we’re having problems right now,
but we can get through it! It makes you wonder how many people have
conversations like this every day and makes you want to root for them to work
through their problems.
So there you have it; two songs, one blog!
Come back
tomorrow for a throwback blog!
LOVE Broken. I saw Seether live once, and the song wasn't the same when sung alone.
ReplyDeleteGreat duets. Here's an oldy, but I've always liked it. Sony and Cher sing "I've got you Babe"(1965).
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I love Amy Lee's voice. So rich and full of emotion.

I really like male/female duets. I think my favourite is Snow Patrol and Martha Wainwright "Set The Fire To The Third Bar." It's so haunting.
