Join us for #FortnightFridayMusic by MarkIngs today.
The word for Apr 04 is "Terror"

Post and tell us about a #song with a title, lyric, theme or meaning related to the word.

And there are probably many songs for this category. Total Eclipse of the Heart comes to mind. But really, Terror Couple Kill Colonel by Bauhaus is the one and only.

Norah Jones covering John Prine - That's The Way The World Goes Round

"I was sitting in the bathtub counting my toes
When the radiator broke, water all froze
I got stuck in the ice without my clothes
Naked as the eyes of a clown

I was crying ice cubes, hoping I'd croak
When the sun come through the window, the ice all broke
I stood up and laughed, thought it was a joke
That's the way that the world goes 'round"

The Cranberries - Zombie

"Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we, mistaken?

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family
In your head, in your head, they are fightin'
With their tanks and their bombs and their bombs and their guns
In your head, in your head, they are cryin'"

Song: Love and Terror
By: Frente!

Love & terror in 120 chord changes

🎶 Love is a terrorist thing
for people with a problem & a theory & a gun
who's holding hands with the hostages?
everyone everyone
When you're dying pretty, sweat, regret, you're deperate
It was like we never met
Who wants to be human?
Caught by the killer & the talk talk talk
All that noise fat little boys 🎶

This #FortnightFridayMusic it's a "Terror" that I skipped Alan Vega again😎.

This 80s sludge metal band teamed up a few times with their label mate, the obnoxiously opinionated conspiracy theorist, Jello Biafra😜. Best know as leader of The Dead Kennedys, he works his distinctive voice over a cool danceable, sliding beat here:

#FortnightFridayMusic Mar 21 2025 the word is "Utopia"

Artist: Sting
Album: The Dream of The Blue Turtles (1985)
Song: Consider Me Gone

youtube.com/watch?v=5JklHGVUa_

The search for perfection
Is all very well
But to look for heaven
Is to live here in hell

I was well aware of The Police when growing up, but by the time I got into music they had already basically broken up and Sting was doing solo albums. At first I considered this one of the least interesting songs on the album, but it grew on me over time with its quiet groove.

Hey! It really is still #FortnightFridayMusic 🎉

🎶 Once there were parking lots
Now it's a peaceful oasis
You've got it, you've got it
This was a Pizza Hut
Now it's all covered with daisies
You've got it, you've got it
I miss the honky tonks
Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens
You've got it, you've got it
And as things fell apart
Nobody paid much attention 🎶
