Songs I've Been Addicted To... II

Right here we are, another entry about songs that I haven't been able to stop listening to, usually meaning that I listen to the tracks at least daily. I'll submit a new post in this series from time to time whenever I feel the need to.

First up is Nothing Else Matters by Metallica. I've been addicted to this song for a long time, but recently I listened to the version of the song from a live album. I was instantly hooked and I've been listening to it everyday for the last week or so. I love the song, the guitar picking introduction followed by the ballad style main section adn the solo are brilliant, and on the live track it's even better. It's probably my favourite Metallica song.

Next is Estoy Clavado En Un Bar. I mentioned this track a little while ago in an entry in the Notable Artists series. It's from the album Arde El Cielo by Maná. If I remember correctly I said that it was one of my favourite tracks from the album, but not quite my favourite. This has now changed, it's my most listened track of the album I reckon, and it's utterly fantastic. I can't pick up all the lyrics (they're in Spanish) but I can understand some of it. It's a really good song, from a great album. Like the Metallica track I just talked about, the version of this track I'm addicted to is live; I've heard the studio version and it's good, but I think in the case of this track the fact that it's live really enhances the power of the song.

I'm still addicted to I Hear The Bells by Mike Doughty. This track is racking up a hefty playcount in my library, I listen to it several times a week, not as much as when I first got it, but still a considerable amount. Its lyrics are creative and in places amusing, do check it out along with the others.

There you go, there are probably some others, but this'll do for now. I finally got around to purchasing a copy of Wonderlustre by Skunk Anansie; their new album, so that should be arriving in the post soon, I'll review it when I get a chance. Anyway, that's all folks.

Cheers,
