The Kills

Music

Just ahead of the release of their fourth studio album 'Blood Pressures', Jamie and Alison invited film makers from Domino Records into their London studio to record a few very special live acoustic performances of new album tracks. I like "The Last Goodbye" song very much and love this low female voice combined with acoustic guitar sound.

GREY DAY MUSIC SHARING

What I like about songs is that sometimes they express exactly what I feel. It makes me better and improves my self-esteem, because I stop thinking that I'm the only person in the world with strange thoughts, problems, pain, funny point of view and lyrical message in my heart. It is so special that some artists who I don't know personally and they don't know me, either, express exactly what I would like to say and what I have in my heart and soul.

BECK

"I'm tired of fighting for the lost cause"


Beck

Beck's lyrics is so simple, but so exact and funny at the same time. Aren't we, humans, funny sometimes with our feelings?

SIGUR ROS

Sigur Ros

They are Scandinavian and they sing in their original language. I have to idea what they are saying, but I love it, I feel it. At least I think so. They sing about what I have in my heart and soul. As far as I understand. But I don't understand a word.

NORAH JONES in SESAME STREET

As I have already mentioned it, I was born in Poland when it was still a Communist country. I think it inflicted my childhood a lot, because we did not have colorful toys, there were just a couple of designs and they were rather basic and not friendly. When I was 7, Communism chose to be overthrown. In result nice toys started to appear in shops, however they were insanely expensive. Barbie doll was an extreme expense. I had my first Barbie when I was about 12, because my mother could not afford it that easily. The things which came from America and Western Europe seemed to be colourful and friendly. So it was with TV programs for children.

I was a big fan of Sesame Street and I still am. When you do not get to be a child at the age of 8, you stay a child in your heart forever. It is interesting that history may inflict your childhood. Then you have twisted memories.

Sesame Street was broadcasted at 8 o'clock on Saturdays on Polish TV Channel 2 (because we had only 2 TV channels in Poland until recently). In my opinion the program was created by a genius and people who knew children hearts very well. It was nice to discover that very often famous singers appear on Sesame Street and perform their songs. It is great that they feel connected to the world of kids.

I was glad to have found Norah Jones singing on Sesame Street. It is a precious video for me. There was also Ray Charles and Johnny Cash singing in the program in the past.
