The Godfather

After Switchfoot, I lov3d Vampire weekend!
Listen to this both and tell me how does it sound?
1) I think you are a contra :- Compared to the sound of the band's debut record, "I Think Ur A Contra" is a huge departure from that carefree sound Vampire Weekend was identified by. This song contains a sort of restraint that, perhaps, reflects their maturation over the two years while recording Contra, featuring some purposeful execution that brings their very specific vision into reality. The warm yet skeletal instrumentals act as the perfect backdrop to Ezra Koenig's hushed, soothing vocals, helping "I Think Ur A Contra" become an intimate experience, evoking a sense of connectedness with the band, and especially Ezra.
2) Hannah Hunt :- Sonically, "Hannah Hunt" is captivating with its slowly building nature that prompts you to wait for it to burst at the seams, yet it never quite does. Its gentle instrumentals only highlight the fragility in Koenig's lyrics, especially in the latter half of the song as he frustratedly mourns: "If I can't trust you then damn it, Hannah / There's no future, there's no answer." Vulnerability is perfectly encapsulated with uncomfortable uncertainty, and the result is one of Vampire Weekend's most moving songs to date.

Listen to STEP as well! ^_^
Step :¬
Reviews of Modern Vampires of the City posited the album as a more mature version of the band's previous work. It's been called gloomier, darker, the end of an era, etc. All valid. But it's tough to cast the album in that one singular shade when you hear a song like "Step." What could be called melancholy is more of a drowsy discomfort, like tossing in bed before you go to sleep. Vampire Weekend has not lost their ability to inject an element of playfulness into moments of sobriety, and it manifests here as the Rushmore style clavichord that backs Ezra's narration.

The song 'Zinda' from Lootera is a masterpiece. Musically, meticulously beautiful. The lyrics are the critical aspect. Presenting a hopeful theme, from bad times of life. People who perceive the belief that life is meaningless without certain upsides of it. It's for them. 'Mujhe chhod do mere haal pe, zinda hoon yaar kaafi hai. Jitna mila kaafi hai. Zinda hoon yaar, kaafi hai.'
Amit trivedi is incompatible.
I need people like him in bollywood.
And them violins. Wonders.

Music is Immortal.
And it is surely the most powerful force on earth, besides a child's wish, and a child's beliefs..
More powerful then medications, undoubtedly.
More powerful then death.
As powerful as one's true love..
And as powerful that keeps you trapped in the chains of blissful elation,
And prevents any possibility of you falling in love with anyone else unless you leave it..
It is the best gift that god has gifted, I believe, besides a father, without whom i wouldn't have these high quality speakers, and a loving mother, without whom, my dad
would never have bought them..
As a kid, I wanted to be in some kinda international rock band..
And as a grown up, that i certainly am, or should be.. I have
No plans, I just head where my decisions lead..
But sometimes i still think.. "dammit! I can still drum.. ! Fucck it! tomorrow
I go in a search of some good musicians and start rocking.." ... :/
