Release Me by Agnes

One of my current obsessions favorite tunes.

Music on a Wednesday:

According to my sister I have two problems when it comes to music (well more than two but those are the major ones in her opinion).

One is that I'm usually weeks, months or even years behind the rest of the world in discovering new songs/singers. (Probably because I don't listen to the radio that often.) So when I finally hear the song, everybody else is already growing tired of it.

The other is that whenever a song is a hit, the chances are that I won't like it - at first. But the more I hear the song, the better it sounds to me. So when I finally like the song, everybody else is already growing tired of it...

I guess I'm not good at doing things the way they are 'supposed' to be done ;o)


Anyway.
Just wanted to share a bit of Danish music with you.

Tina Dico - In The Red


Tina Dico - No Time To Sleep


I'm not religious. I'm not even sure I'm spiritual. But for some reason I love this song:

Tina Dickow - Hallelujah (Danish lyrics)


As for the English lyrics I prefer KD Lang’s version. (And I would love to hear Vonda Shepard give it a try.)

In case you were wondering; Tina Dickow is her real name. She performs under her real name in Denmark, abroad she is known as Tina Dico (in order to avoid mispronunciation by American English speakers - hear her explanation)

Fagget Fairys:

I’m not trying to be rude or anything.

It’s the name of a Danish group.



Which I just discovered *blushes*(. I should be more up to speed on these things. But I’m terrible at keeping myself updated on anything within the gay community. [I blame the fact that I’m ‘new at this’ – and by ‘this’ I mean (acting on) being gay.])

Anyway.

These two girls (who are partners at work as well as private) have been making music [] since 2007. And I guess it’s the kind of music that you either hate or love. And given my taste in music you probably shouldn’t take my advice, but I’m leaning towards love. ;o)

This is how they describe themselves: Fagget Fairys are an explosive cocktail of Islam, lesbianism, true love, and relentless beats.



This is one of their songs. It’s called “Feed the Horse”.

With that in mind... Enjoy:




Given both the song and the music video I had some idea of what the title meant, but (just in case I was way off) I looked it up…
