As you may have noticed we live in a generation that is consumed with nostalgia. Which is why for this week's Music Monday I looked to create a setlist that is strictly 90's. I think we like to look back on previous decades because authentic and raw music was best created during these times. No Doubt's "Don't Speak" is a perfect example of an authentic 90s track. Clearly this song is describing two individuals' underlying problems that cause them to drift apart. This song is extremely transparent to me because regardless of what type of relationship we may have with someone, in certain cases it is inevitable that the two will drift part. A lot of times we have trouble facing this reality and tend to subdue it into the back of our minds. Onto a less depressing note, I believe that Daft Punk's "Around The World" is infused with a techno flare, that is evident in a lot of todays chart-topping songs. For a song that is composed of only 3 lyrics, you can't deny that this song sounds as if it could have been produced today, and could truly stand for itself on this track list. Now that I've put my two cents in.. Grab your headphones or plug in the AUX and enjoy.
Until Next Time...
