Day 27 of "The Soundtrack of Your Life" challenge. Ok our next song up is... Even The Nights Are Better by Air Supply This is one of my favorites on my list. I am a big fan of 80s easy listening music and this is a sweet one. It is a heavily romantic piece. It is most light with softer music but has some great uses of crescendos in the chorus. The two best segments of the song are the chorus and the riff at 2:43. 80's arrangements tend to make extremely good uses of refrain where you'll hear the same lines repeated several times in this case... "Even the nights are better. Now that we're here together Even the nights are better Since I found you" It will play a few times in the song especially towards the end where it will fade out to complete the song. It is a great trick as it makes the important part of the song memorable and easy to sing along with. The anime used in this song is Onegai Sensei aka Please Teacher. I haven't gotten a chance to watch this anime myself but the scenes chosen for the AMV match the romantic intensity of the song. - |
Day 26 of "The Soundtrack of Your Life" challenge. Ok our next song up is... Never Let You Go by Third Eye Blind Three great rock songs back to back. This has a smooth rhythmic beat to it that is very easy to listen to and the band makes beautiful use of an Electric Guitar. This song's strongest area though is the chorus. I love the "Turn around your back on each other if I did I'd break a promise to your mother" lines used. In a similar vein to another popular song "Total Eclipse of the Heart" the phrase turn around reflects looking away from the present. It is also the most melodic segment of the song. There is a bit of a rap interlude in the middle of the song that I'm not particular crazy about however the jazzy melodic for the rest of the piece carries the song into my playlist worthy category and I love listening to it. - |
