Another song I love: Black Betty. This is the earliest recorded version, from Sugarland, Texas prison farm workers featuring James Baker in the 1930’s. The song’s history likely goes back much further.
There is much speculation over what Black Betty refers to: whiskey, a driver’s whip, a penitentiary wagon and a musket are all valid ideas with historical support.
History and music!

I… I don’t know how I feel about this.
Not sure if this is blasphemous, or just damn catchy.

The Enemy-Mumford and Sons
Give me hope in silence
It’s easier, it’s kinder
Tell me not of heartbreak
It
plagues my soul, it plagues my soul
And bury me beside you
I have no hope in
solitude
And the world will follow
To the earth down below
But I came and I
was nothing
Time will give us nothing
So why did you choose to lean on
A man you
knew was falling?

Kill Of The Night by Gin Wigmore
I’m gonna lure you into the dark
My cold desire
To hear the boom, boom, boom of your heart
The danger is I’m dangerous
And I might just tear you apart

“Le Bien Qui Fait Mal” - Mozart L’Opéra Rock
If you only listen to one song from this, listen to this one.[Alternatively, a English-translated lyrics-only video for anyone who’s completely inept at French like me. :3 But I’d still recommend watching both videos.]
Just discovered this song today; the rest of the musical is beautiful, but Le Bien Qui Fait Mal is just really intense and awesome, wow. The video and lyrics are pretty dark and fetish-/BDSM-ish, though, so uh, just a little warning there.
Definitely worth a listen, now go go goooo.
yes i need this on my blog again
because this song is pure sex all by itself, but in context it’s the song of SALIERI’S UNEXPECTED BONER??? (seriously this song is what goes through Salieri’s head the first time he hears Mozart’s music IT’S SO GOOD IT HURTS??? C’est si bon de souffrir? Les vrais délices passent par le supplice?? REALLY SALIERI???)
i just. i’m all aflutter.
i’ve never had a hate!ship before.
