Rafaela

Thank you @sneræven… I remember when this song was released and the Norwegian singer Ina, who wrote the lyrics, used a lot of subtlety, poetry and metaphors to address such a serious and delicate subject without expose or sensationalizing. One of the phrases I love in the lyrics is - "Born on the left side of this right-handed world" - which symbolizes the feeling of being on the margins of an unequal society... And I find it cute and also funny when she sings in Portuguese : E aí, beleza? … I speak like that...typical Brazilian, street slang...informal communication for the question - Hey, how are you? And another Leo Moracchioli’s video - A song’s cover - Hello by Adele Humor + Metal =

Personally, I don't like lowering prices, not because I'm very attached to money, because I'm not… but…rather because, for me, "paid sex" and "low or very low prices" are things that don't go together. I've always believed that everything in life has a "value"...and an intelligent person knows how to see that...If a man, for example, needs sex and doesn't want to face many "obstacles" to finally choose and get what he wants, he may feel he paid a high price for it...But he paid, among other things, for the "ease" of the situation...for the discretion, for the silence...for the goodbye without further explanation... However, if he opts for a "normal encounter" (understand "normal" as an encounter with a woman who is not a g.p.), then he may spend a lot of time trying to get the encounter, trying to be "accepted" and naturally "desired" for his "appearance”, personality and spend a sum of money many times greater than an encounter with a g.p., to “perhaps”, at the end of all the "obstacles," have the "much-desired" sex, which "maybe" pleases him... Have a good night… Rafaela

I love this video…ever since I saw it, I've been "frozen" in front of the screen, watching her beautiful movements, as if she were dancing in a “music box” … And good taste in choosing music also contributed… Song by : Mz Ann Thropik - Off With Your Head And here…The wonderful Australian “Felix Cane” - The winner of “Miss Pole Dance Australia 2006”, an professional pole dancer who became an international champion and was the first to win the title three times, also later performing with Cirque du Soleil.

Yes, it's great, I really like them…The album "The Black Parade" is very special. The next song from the same album is amazing, I love the performance and the contagious energy, even though the lyrics are about the desire to isolate oneself physically and emotionally, feeling like a "ghost" after the loss of a love… This is How I Disappear - My Chemical Romance (2006) And this song is so beautiful and emotional… Helena was the grandmother of Gerard Way (vocalist) and Mikey Way (bassist). Helena - My Chemical Romance (2004)

I'm glad you liked it; sensitivity to art is an admirable quality... Yes, that's the impression…and although rock has become popular among young white people, its origins comes from a fusion of rhythms like blues, gospel, jazz, rhythm and blues...all rooted in African American culture and black artists like Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Jimi Hendrix are considered pioneers and central figures in shaping the genre. For a long time I was addicted to "My Chemical Romance," a band that mixes genres such as: gothic rock, punk rock, alternative rock, post-hardcore and Emo (a musical genre that combines characteristics of hardcore punk with emotional and confessional lyrics). I love this next song, the video quality isn't good but it's just to “feel” the emotion… Demolition Lovers - My Chemical Romance (from their debut album, “ I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love” - 2002) The Ghost of You - My Chemical Romance (second studio album - “Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge” - 2004)

Gangsta's Paradise by Coolio, released in 1995, became a huge global hit, won a Grammy in 1996, and has garnered over 1.89 billion views on YouTube, transcending generations. The song gained significant notoriety for being part of the soundtrack of the film "Dangerous Minds" (1995), starring Michelle Pfeiffer, which portrays the world of marginalized youth in a school. The song's melody originates from a sample (a sound excerpt taken from a pre-existing song) of Stevie Wonder's "Pastime Paradise" (1976), and he only authorized it on the condition that the lyrics did not contain profanity or offensive language. “The lyrics reveal the routine of those who live in a "gangsta paradise," a term used ironically because it questions, among other things, the collective blindness that prevents people from perceiving the damage caused by this reality…” Gangsta’s Paradise - Coolio feat. Larry Sanders (also credited as composer of the music)… Amazing…. Video with over 1.89 billion views. Coolio's performance on David Letterman

Axl Rose - handsome, sexy and wild…in the best Guns N' Roses’s time… You Could Be Mine - Guns N’ Roses (1991) Don’t Cry - Guns N’ Roses (1991)

I wasn't referring to you or your musical taste… Observe at the Offspring video: the song title, the lyrics and the guy dancing in the video - He is satirizing the “superficial imitation of other cultures”; it's about trying to be accepted by imitating someone else instead of being yourself. Post as many songs as you want… The next song, "It's So Easy" by Guns N' Roses, directly exposes the contradiction between the appearance of an easy life and the emptiness that accompanies sudden success. The lyrics highlight a daily life of excess, flattery and superficial relationships. This was the band's environment at the time, surrounded by people attracted only by glamour and fame, which reinforces the ironic and mocking tone of the song. "It's So Easy" portrays early fame as something seemingly simple, but incapable of bringing true satisfaction. It’s so Easy - Guns N' Roses (Debut studio album, Appetite for Destruction - 1987)

I don't know what you mean by this being the “nature of the topic”...but for me...it's like living in a repeated movie, with the same "cast"…And…it doesn't teach me anything… The next song is one of the most iconic of the 80s, the immortal song "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" - by the British band "Dead or Alive". Released as a single in November 1984, it reached number One in the UK in March 1985, remaining at the top for seventeen weeks. You Spin Me Round (Like a Record) Band : Dead or Alive (1984)

Yes, you are right…but when I posted the video about "connected," I wasn't referring to relationships that originate from the online world, because except you and a few others here in the music thread that I sometimes talk to, since we exchange experiences with music that moves us in some way, I dont talk to strangers online… seriously, totally true……And I rarely participate in debates or hyggesnak because most of the topics are just repetitive…So…conversation online is only for necessary matters, nothing about relationships or the search for them… The video I posted about “connected” is about being in danger if you're not able to perceive the intentions of strangers, it's about keeping an open mind to understand the intentions of others and knowing how to protect oneself from online vulnerability… The next song isn't about the theme of being "connected," but it offers a humorous critique of the pursuit of social acceptance through the superficial imitation of other cultures… Pretty Fly (For a White Guy) - Offspring - 1998

The song “Connected,” by the band “Stereo MC’s,” goes beyond a simple invitation to connect…It criticizes a social environment full of traps and illusions, where only those who are attentive can avoid falling into pitfalls… The chorus says a lot about this: “If you make sure you're connected The writing's on the wall But if your mind's neglected Stumble you might fall…” Be careful… Stereo MC's - The Connected (1992)

I've been watching some of Leo's videos and I really like him, his vocal ability, his very "heavy metal" musical taste, and his great sense of humor… Thank you for sharing @sneræven His cover of the famous Motörhead song is really really good…. It's funny how some of the comments on YouTube are, because Lemmy (Motorhead vocalist) was always so beloved by many for his authentic attitude, playing style and distinctive voice, and then…many fans don't even accept covers. Ace of Spades - Motörhead (1980)

Billy Idol adapted the punk attitude to the mainstream, mixing it with rock and pop, and was very successful in the 80s Iggy Pop is considered the "Godfather of Punk" for his raw energy, wild performances and fundamental role in creating the genre with The Stooges The next song, "Lust for Life," written by Iggy Pop and David Bowie, It's the iconic soundtrack from the movie “Trainspotting” (1996) and has become a symbol of the film. The video includes some scenes from the movie. Lust for Life - Iggy Pop (1977)

I didn't know him...Very good… And then I found this video - A Billy Idol cover… And the video with Billy Idol… I really like this song, it has a lot of energy… 80s - Happy are those who experienced the parties and shows of that time… Rebel Yell - Billy Idol (1983)

I discovered Tommy Johansson four months ago while searching for some covers of songs I love. And since then I've been increasingly impressed by his talent, which always moves me... Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) - Journey (Album Frontiers - 1983)

The mystical and hypnotic "Kashmir" inspired Robert Plant in 1973 while driving through the arid and desolate landscapes of the Moroccan desert. Beyond the lyrics, I can sense in the melody the sensation of an endless road…which evokes a "sense of immensity," that is, feeling small in the face of the grandeur of the world, an experience of transcendence and loss of ego, just like the sensation described by the song's composer… The name of the song has no connection with the city of Kashmir (located in the north of the Indian subcontinent), but rather, a metaphor used for a deep reflection on life, time and existence... Kashmir - Led Zeppelin (Featured on their sixth studio album Physical Graffiti (1975) And two beautiful presentations at different times…Amazing…

In System Of A Down's "Aerials," life is compared to a waterfall, representing a continuous cycle of experiences and transformations… as in the phrase that expresses this idea: "Life is a waterfall - We are One in the river and One again after the fall" (what a beautiful metaphor…)… The expression "Aerials in the sky" symbolizes elevation and transcendence, indicating that by expanding the mind, it is possible to achieve deeper fulfillment. So..the song is a suggestion to question patterns and seek a more authentic meaning for existence. Aerials - System Of a Down (2001)

Yes, that’s all right and I also like this gloomy style…. “Comfortably Numb" uses the metaphor of “anesthesia” to express the feeling of being present, but disconnected from one's body and emotions. And another song by Pink Floyd... When emotions...don't need words... The Great Gig in the Sky - Pink Floyd (1973)

The best cover of High Hopes, sung by the impressive Marko Hietala… High Hopes - Pink Floyd (1994)

I can't choose, but I may not like you using my answer as a basis for “creating” your text You can write now that you don't know me but you used my words, which are personal opinions, to give an example of your "theories" Your opinions don't provoke me, you just can't believe and spread the word that if someone thinks like me - it means the things you wrote, because you don't know me. Yes, you misunderstand someone who doesn't feel jealous, and I am sorry, but there's no need to apologize for your way of thinking. No, I'm not provoking you. I'm saying what I feel; I'm not a "character" to get "likes." If you think someone who thinks like me is distancing herself from a partner, I must tell you that I feel much happier alone than with a jealous partner. It's all very simple for me... My statement prioritizes my peace. And yes, I agree...love isn't logical, but I can choose how I prefer to live my life: in a prison and the negative consequences of jealousy, or in the peace of being free and doing what I want. Yes, it's easy for me, because jealousy, as I wrote, is something that doesn't attract me, it bothers me, and it makes me lose interest. But understand - it's not a single bad behavior, and I give a "strike”, I try to show - that this is not something good for me... but the jealous person usually never stops. I don't protect myself and distance myself, I end the subject because it's not healthy to live with someone who I need to prove something to that the person should already know if he's with me. I've loved (rarely), I've been loved (I think…), I'm not afraid to take risks, if I meet someone who naturally interests me, I live it intensely but I have no problem ending it if it becomes uninteresting to me. I don't feel like I need to find someone to make me wiser. I believe that first I should be well and happy with myself (and that's how I feel) and then if and maybe I find someone who makes me happy, he will be a complement and not a necessity. Rafaela

Since you wanted to mention me... let's go. Yes, I consider jealousy a weakness, a useless feeling. For me, if an man is with me and feels jealous, it's because he's not smart enough to know what kind of person I am, and so the disinterest is natural on my part. The fact that I don't feel it doesn't mean I don't care, and that's another mistake you made mentioning my name in your long text. You don't know me personally; I'm not a reference or example for you to cite. I'm real, but I don't know who you really are. Sorry, but this is the "online world" - people are and say whatever they want. I don't try to be the strongest or most admirable person; I'm myself, and I feel very comfortable with myself for who I am. If I'm in a relationship, it's for love (and understand that if I were in a relationship, I would never be a gp), and I don't have multiple lovers; I'm not interested in that. And if I'm with someone and he dare—yes, you read that right - if he dare to be jealous of me—I'll end it myself because I find jealousy unattractive. I consider he uninteresting and lacking in personality. Because, for me, jealousy is also a sign of distrust, possessiveness and that the person hasn't truly understood who I am. I don't give anyone the freedom to question my honesty in a relationship. Rafaela

Yes, I understand, so this is your first time... and no feeling is lost when you learn something...no matter the type of relationship, and if it was with a "gp" Rafaela

Hello @House I'm not and never have been the jealous type either... Jealousy is a feeling I really don't like. If someone shows jealousy toward me, I see him as someone who isn't strong or confident, and worse, he think he can control me...This really bothers me; I lose all interest and disappear. That's how I deal with jealousy.… For me the feeling of jealousy as well as envy, comes from people who are not confident and need to try to control attention. Have a good day Rafaela

Ian Gillan…his powerful tenor voice, his energy and magnetic stage presence, as well as his long and influential career in rock and as the lead singer of Deep Purple... His voice is marked by unmistakable high notes, technical mastery and the ability to convey the emotional intensity of his songs…as demonstrated in this video... When a Blind Man Cries - Deep Purple (1972) - Absolutely wonderful…
