two songs

I always get uncomfortable when i have to say what music i like. It kind of defines you, huh, so you should really say the right thing. If you like a lot of different styles and are changing what you listen to a lot, that's just hard man. Better to say nuthing? No no no, i like talking about it with the non-fanatic crowd!!

So, i was browsing through which songs are in the charts, checking them out on youtube. Really a bit depressing the lot. 37 out of 40 were really horrible, 2 i already knew. But i did find this 'new' song i had missed somehow, it's called 'The Fear' by Lily Allen. Who? Oh, i saw she was the one from 'smile' (hhhmmm, mixed feelings). But this song is something different, it has a lot of pace, a delightful ironic directness and the vid is funny. Of course, this slow-to-catch-on is not going to say "check it out", unless you're even slower ;)

The other two were by the Killers, did like 'human' already. But, if you know the song, the lyrics are pretty puzzling. They sing:

"Are we huuumaaan, or are we.....(something like denser or dancer)"

Never got this, what does it mean that i could either be human or "denser" (huh) or "dancer" (why, can humans not be dancers, then?). But boorens18 on youtube has solved the problem for us!! Its "dancer" and, yea, if you look at the rest of the lyrics it kind of makes sense. But in his listening its not dancer as positive but as a puppet, for example to quote him:

I did my best to notice,
When the call came down the line.
(called meaning the strings are pulling the puppet, metaphor for society pulling him to one direction)

Or:

Pay my respects to grace and virtue,
Send my condolences to good.
Give my regards to soul and romance,
They always did the best they could.
And so long to devotion,
You taught my everything I know.
Wave goodbye, Wish me well.
(this whole verse is simulating what the "dancers" of this generation do. Give up their personal emotion and individuality to become the dancing puppets)

I really began to understand the song much better listening to it like this, there'd always been some parts i liked and understood but as a whole didn't make much sense. Can see it for yourself here:

Selling nine of my books today. Some of the stuff i bought years past, what was i thinking!! I'm only keeping what i really need or really like, stuff doesn't own me. Btw thanks to Sammy for pointing out an important book (and on pdf)! Should get all study stuff on pdfs, but not my really old book on Ivanhoe i should think....
