What are you listening to right now?

Love this song, and hadn't heard it for donkey's years. But it is currently being used in an advert for a German car company.

And just by chance, when I went looking for a link to post here, one of the videos I found had the song accompanied by clips from gala performances by Russian skaters!!! :cheer: :clap: :party2: :rock: :points:

Dusty Springfield - "The Windmills Of Your Mind"

How about that for appropriate! :biggrin:

Anyway, this started me thinking about other songs I love that have been used in car adverts.

So, the next one I looked for was used in an advert for a different German car company (no prizes for guessing which one!) in 2003:

Janis Joplin - "Mercedes Benz"

And this one was used in an advert for the car division of a Japanese motorbike company in 2005:

Andy Williams - "The Impossible Dream (The Quest)"

In fact, I liked that particular advert so much that I am going to post a link to it here too:

Enjoy! :)

Been doing some soul searching tonight so who better to help me find some soul than Erykah Badu?

I love her lyrics and just how real they come across. She's always been one of my favorites.
 
I'm in a mood for sad songs.

Acacia - Julien Doré

Corbeau blanc - Julien Doré
He is such a good song-writer and a great perfomer. And I love the instrumental part at the end of the vid.
In fact I love everything about this performance. It was the end of the concert, he was really tired and became very emotional.

White Crow

Tonight I am leaving you
I'm leaving the shore and the people
From my political island
I'm taking the exile of the white crows

Then tonight I am leaving you
For the almighty arrogant ones
I am dirty and full of ticks
I'm taking the exile of the white crows

I’m the curve and the tangible
I’m the grass then the wind
That’s fine if I’m leaving you tonight
I'm taking the exile of the white crows

Shut up tonight I am leaving you

Of this romantic fever
I give back the crown to your teeth
To your robotic jaws
To your bellies of giants

I know that tonight I am leaving you
I'm telling you still alive
I will not come back from the heights
From where the snow hangs

I won't stray from the tracks
Laid by the white crows
If from below you send me a sign
I will forget about blood ties

For a rain of atropin
To pierce your demented eyes
To burn you meager retinas
I'm taking the cloud of white crows

For a rain of atropin
To pierce your demented eyes
I am naked to be even
I became a white crow

That's it, tonight I am leaving you

The new Katy Perry Olympics song, on a nonstop loop. I can sing along to the video, including voiceovers :biggrin:

(I also may or may not have made an inspirational montage of Yulia to it. :slink:)
 
Sorry for offtop, but wanted to ask, why did you choose sgoraet as your name?) Do you know Russian?

Maybe not so off-topic: I use the name from a song by Yana Kedrina (aka Kedr Livanskiy), an electronic artist from Moscow.

Also, this name keeps the 'fire' theme going from my old username. ;)

For Russian, I know some, but not fluent. I learned the language over 10 years ago but I don't use it very often now, mostly for figure skating-related discussions today. :(
