Music Monday (HAIM, Arcade Fire, Kesha, Kid Wise & Hidrogenesse)

Music Monday post! Here are some songs that i've had on repeat for some time now so enjoy!

Haim - Want You Back
The Haim sisters are back and her new single and vid are amazing. The choreographed music video is fantastic and the song one of the ones that really stands out from their new album. I have to give it a few more listens but this song is the one i liked best, for now. I had to post the vid because i loved it.

Arcade Fire - Creature Comfort

This song is pure fire. After 'Everything Now' that kinda gave us 'Reflektor' vibes but this new track is amazing. I didn't expect much from the new album but after this song my body is ready.

Kesha - Praying

I've always loved fun Kesha, she's got really strong hits like 'Tik Tok' or 'Die Young' but this new track after all she's gone through is really touching and emotional. The lyrics and the music are really beautiful and tearing and she has really done a really great track. And she can really sing.

Kid Wise - Hope

I discovered this song waiting to see Hidrogenesse live and it's really catchy and it only gets better. It's an oldie but it's worth listening because it lightens up your mood and makes you want to dance.

Hidrogenesse - El árbol

And while seeing Hidrogenesse live, this song really caught my attention because of the lyrics. Yeah, it's in Spanish but i could not add it here because it really touched me deep so here it is.

Music Monday (Chromatics, Arcade Fire, Phoenix, Shirley Manson, Katy Perry, Miley & Supermode)

Another Monday, another Music Monday! And obviously, many are songs that have been released in the past few weeks but i don't care because they sound great and are worth the attention. Enjoy!

Chromatics - Shadow
It wouldn't be fair to start this Music Monday without the song that has been on my mind for two weeks now after watching the return of 'Twin Peaks'. That is 'Shadow' by Chromatics' as it was featured at the end of the first episode and it fit so perfectly it was astounding. It had the whole atmosphere of Lynch's original series and the song is hypnotic and haunting. I adored it to say the least.

Arcade Fire - Everything Now
Arcade Fire are back with a really strong single that reminds us a lot to 'Reflektor' but who cares when it sounds so good? i can't wait for their new album though it's true they will never be as iconic as they were with their debut 'Funeral'.

Phoenix - Goodbye Soleil
And i can't definitely wait for Phoenix's new album as everything they release sounds so fantastic. The previous album was ok but i really have high hopes for this new one as one track is nearly better than the previous one. And i love their sound.

Brian Reitzell feat. Shirley Manson - Queen of the Bored
Well, i don't watch 'American Gods' but i love mrs. Manson and this song sounds like it could be part of any Garbage album so of course, i loved it. Nice to hear this woman's voice always.

Katy Perry - Swish Swish feat. Nicki Minaj
Finally Kity Purry has released a decent track, and by decent i mean an instant hit. And the best part is that it seems to be about Terror Swift so it's all good by me.

Miley Cyrus - Malibu
I just could not add this song here even though everyone has already heard it and loves it. But this might be the song of the Summer because it sounds so good and it's such a good-feeling track that i had to put it here.

Supermode - Tell Me Why
And finally, and old song that i had completely forgotten about but it's such a big hit that i had to post it. It's an instant hit and i can't stop listening and dancing to it now.

'We Exist' Arcade Fire

 I watched this new music video early in the morning the other day and i shouldn't had to, because it crushed my whole entire day.

The video is a 'Dallas Buyers Club' meets 'Precious', and i really loved the pain it depicts, and while i'm not a fan of Andrew Garfield, mainly because of the new 'Spiderman' saga (never liked this superhero anyway), his acting was better in 'Never Let Me Go' and here he really shines. The look on his eyes while he's at the bar and he sees the old couple dancing, aiming to have that one day and how difficult that is to him (i'm referring to him as male as i'm talking about the actor, not the character) is something heartbreaking.

I'm really loving Arcade Fire's latest videos, like the live version of 'Afterlife' (that was much better than the official video) and this one is really great as well, so enjoy but be careful because it can crush your soul:

Daddy it's true, I'm different from you

But tell me why they treat me like this

'Afterlife' by Arcade Fire directed by Spike Jonze at the YTMAs

i know it's late to post this due to internet standards, this was up the other day so it's already old news, but it was so grand that i had to post it here. Spike Jonze directing a music video during a live performance of Arcade Fire's 'Afterlife' at the YouTube Awards with indie actress Greta Gerwig, dancing the pain away of the break up that narrates this song. In other words, perfection. To put on such a show live, like it was a musical it's genius and only Spike Jonze could do such a beautiful thing.

Also, the song is flawless, i haven't liked 'Reflektor' that much, it's kinda of a let down after the previous Arcade Fire albums but this song makes it up for everything. If you haven't already watch it, do it because this is superb:

Can we work it out? If we scream and shout till we work it out.

Can we just work it out?

Scream and shout till we work it out.

Till we work it out, till we work it out.
