Music

Music is alright as long as the lyrics are OK. If the lyrics are dodgy, then..... it's best to stay away. There is good Western music out there, beleive it or not. Such as:

Patience- Take That

Shine- Take That

Powerless (Say What you Want)- Nelly Furtado

Cry- James Blunt

Same Mistake- James Blunt

Unwritten- Natasha Bedingfield

I Bruise Easily- Natasha Bedingfield

Bad Day- Daniel Powter

Complicated- Avril Lavigne

Father and Son- Ronan and Yusuf

If Tomorrow Never Comes- Ronan Keating

You're funny. I enjoy sarcasm.

Seriously though: any good Western music?

So, there is nothing wrong with Gorillaz then?

I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad

I got sunshine, in a bag

I'm useless,but not for long

The future is coming on

I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad

I got sunshine, in a bag

I'm useless, but not for long

The future is coming on

It's coming on

It's coming on

It's coming on

Chorus ~ Keri Hilson, Timbaland ~

(Keri)

Baby if you strip, you can get a tip

‘Cause I like you just the way you are

(Timbaland)

I’m about to strip and I’m well equipped

Can you handle me the way I are?

(Keri)

I don’t need the G’s or the car keys

Boy I like you just the way you are

(Keri & Timbaland)

Let me see ya strip, you can get a tip

‘Cause I like you just the way you are

Maroon 5

[Chorus]

Give me something to believe in

Cause I don't believe in you anymore

Anymore

I wonder if it even makes a difference to try

(Yeah)

So this is goodbye

make your own minds up

Virtual Insanity - Jamiroquai

ahh...pop music was actually GOOD in 1995/6...

[quote]It is a wonder man can eat at all

When things are big that should be small

Who can tell what magic spells we’ll be doing for us

And I’m giving all my love to this world

Only to be told

I can’t see, I can’t breathe

No more will we be

And nothing’s going to change the way we live

’Cause we can always take but never give

And now that things are changing for the worse

See, whoa, it’s a crazy world we’re living in

And I just can’t see that half of us immersed in sin

Is all we have to give these

Futures made of virtual insanity now

Always seem to be governed by this love we have for

Useless, twisting, of the new technology

Oh now there is no sound, for we all live underground

And I’m thinking what a mess we’re in

Hard to know where to begin

If I could slip the sickly ties that earthly man has made

And now every mother can choose the colour of her child

That’s not nature’s way

Well that’s what they said yesterday

There’s nothing left to do but pray

I think it’s time to find a new religion

Whoa, It’s so insane

To synthesize another strain

There’s something in these

Futures that we have to be told

Futures made of virtual insanity now

Always seem to be governed by this love we have for

useless, twisting, of the new technology

Oh now there is no sound, for we all live underground[/quote]

When We Were Friends - Cee-Lo

[quote]When We Were Friends

When we were friends, the days would begin and end

Went from boys to men, we boys 'til then

We know each other real, we know each other rules

And we wore each other's clothes and each other's shoes

But in an instant, the days become distant

Your path doesn't go in the same direction his went

And can't help but be scared

Of the virtually unknown up ahead (I heard what you said)

But I'll be fine

Whether it is favor or failure, it must be mine

Well he can stand still, if that's how that man feel

Cuz what can't can't and whatever can will

So I'm walking toward my future with my back to it

Hoping you look up and see me as a reason to do it

When you get grown it's a given

You damn near gotta do the same thing for a living

He's my cousin I love him like a son cause I was him

And he think his thuggin' pleases me but it doesn't

How could I applaud it when I had caused it

But if it's God's plan for him, I guess I ain't cost s***

for what I gave him - wasn't so bad I couldn't save him

Either they'll enslave him or a gun'll grave him

I still believe in him but he think I'm leavin him

When I be busy he think I'm bob-n-weavin him

I probably sound like his daddy

But over the phone, cause I ain't around - like his daddy

When we talk I wanna hear you be productive

Conversate for hours 'bout something constructive

But it never come up

With all them n***** round your neck you ain't gon' never come up

Maybe I'm jealous cause you love them more

Can't understand what you love them for

Don't get me wrong you know I love them too

But you know who I always hold above them: you

And it ain't nobody business

I'll just make believe that music can miraculously mend this

So I'll be a sound

And then you do your thing to it and we mix it down

And make a song, cause even when I'm away I'll always be around [/quote]

@ Funzi you have copy and pasted what suits you and what you want ppl to see and think. Here are the lyrics in full for both songs.

[b]Maroon 5 - Makes Me Wonder lyrics

[/b]

[Verse]

I wake up with blood-shot eyes

Struggled to memorize

The way it felt between your thighs

Pleasure that made you cry

Feels so good to be bad

Not worth the aftermath, after that

After that

Try to get you back

[Bridge]

I still don't have the reason

And you don't have the time

And it really makes me wonder

If I ever gave a f*** about you

[Chorus]

Give me something to believe in

Cause I don't believe in you

Anymore, Anymore

I wonder if it even makes a difference to try

(Yeah)

So this is goodbye

[Verse]

God damn, my spinning head

Decisions that made my bed

Now I must lay in it

And deal with things I left unsaid

I want to dive into you

Forget what you're going through

I get behind, make your move

Forget about the truth

[Bridge]

I still don't have the reason

And you don't have the time

And it really makes me wonder

If I ever gave a f*** about you

[Chorus 1 + 2]

Give me something to believe in

Cause I don't believe in you

Anymore, Anymore

I wonder if it even makes a difference,

It even makes a difference to try (yeah)

And you told me how you're feeling

But I don't believe it's true

Anymore, Anymore

I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry

(Oh no)

So this is goodbye

[Breakdown]

I've been here before

One day I'll wake up

And it won't hurt anymore

You caught me in a lie

I have no alibi

The words you say don't have a meaning

Cause..

[Bridge]

I still don't have the reason

And you don't have the time

And it really makes me wonder

If I ever gave a f*** about you and I...

And so this is goodbye

[Chorus 1 + 2]

Give me something to believe in

Cause I don't believe in you,

Anymore, Anymore

I wonder if it even makes a difference,

It even makes a difference to try

And you told me how you're feeling

But I don't believe it's true

Anymore Anymore

I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry

So this is goodbye

So this is goodbye

So this is goodbye

[b]Timbaland- Way I Are [/b]

Voice in Background)

State of Emergency

Yeah yeah

Yeah yeah

Remember the time baby (echos)

Yeah yeah

I ain't got no money

I ain't got no car to take you on a date

I can't even buy you flowers

But together we can be the perfect soulmates

Talk to me girl

[Bridge - Keri Hilson]

(Oh) Baby, it's alright now, you ain't gotta flaunt for me

If we go dutch, you can still touch my love, it's free

We can work without the perks just you and me

Thug it out 'til we get it right

[Chorus] - Keri Hilson & (D.O.E)

Baby if you strip, you can get a tip

'Cause I like you just the way you are

(I'm about to strip and I need it quick

Can you handle me the way I are?)

I don't need the G's or the car keys

Boy I like you just the way you are

Let me see ya strip, you can get a tip

'Cause I like, I like, I like...

[Verse 2 - Timbaland]

I ain't got no Visa

I ain't got no Red American Express

We can't go nowhere exotic

It don't matter 'cause I'm the one that loves you best

Talk to me girl

[Bridge 2 - Keri Hilson]

(Oh), baby, it's alright now, you ain't gotta flaunt for me

If we go and touch, you can still touch my love, it's free

We can work without the perks just you and me

Thug it out 'til we get it right

[Chorus] - Keri Hilson & (D.O.E)

Baby if you strip, you can get a tip

'Cause I like you just the way you are

(I'm about to strip and I need it quick

Can you handle me the way I are?)

I don't need the G's or the car keys

Boy I like you just the way you are

Let me see ya strip, you can get a tip

'Cause I like you just the way you are

[Verse 3 - D.O.E.]

Yeah, baby girl, I don't got a huge ol' house I rent a room in a house

Listen baby girl, I ain't got a motorboat but I can float ya boat

So listen baby girl, once you get a dose of D.O.E. you gon' want some mo'

So listen baby girl, when I make it I want you there, want you there, want you there, yeah

[quote="Naz"]@ Funzi you have copy and pasted what suits you and what you want ppl to see and think. Here are the lyrics in full for both songs.[/quote]

If you were smart you would have realised they were both choruses.

what use is it just having the chorus. One should judge the song based on all the words.

I did it so it was easier to read, not everyone has the time to read loads of writing, i thought it was easier.

true but sometimes the chorus can be misleading without knowing the words that come before and after it. Its like having the Qur'an without the hadith, Yin without Yang.

Valid point, sorry about the late reply just forgot about your post and again valid point but i hope you understand why i put the choruses.

[quote="Naz"]

Timberland - way i are

very meaningful lyrics.[/quote]

In agreement. Excellent track, check the beat one time!

I liked it when i first heard it about 5 to 6 months ago maybe longer, but i heard it i liked it.

[quote="Funzo"]Valid point, sorry about the late reply just forgot about your post and again valid point but i hope you understand why i put the choruses.[/quote]

no need to apologise lil Funzi and yeah i understand why you put the choruses.

so theres new members and the oldies didnt post that much again what do you listen to?

Well, i only listen to Muslim songs/anasheed, you know like Native Deen, Sami Yusuf, Hamza Robertson, 786 e.t.c. I'm with the opinion that only percussion instruments are allowed, as i think thats the middle way.
