F FOR FALLING IN LOVE IS SO HARD ON THE KNEES – A TO Z CHALLENGE

| Subhash

F

F is for falling in love is so hard on the knees, isn’t it. Doesn’t matter with whom you fall in love but one thing is certain it is hard to be in love and harder to retain it, it needs compassion, understanding, trust and feelings for each other.

The harder part as the lyrics says and I like personally is

I was believer when you told me that you loved me
And then you called me someone else’s name

Have you guessed it by now, I am talking about Aerosmith and the song “Falling in love is hard on the knees” from the album Nine Lives. Aerosmith is an American hard rock band and I am a great admirer of them. Steven Tyler puts so much of energy in the albums and a lot of attitude and aggression. Simply great.

My Connect:

I heard the band on MTV back in the 90’s and it was the time when they released 9 lives.

My Pick

I love the song Nine Lives the title track from their album nine lives, Steven Tyler himself imitated the cat’s wail in the beginning of the song. Here it is Enjoy 🙂

E FOR EAGLES – A TO Z CHALLENGE

| Subhash

E for Eagles

Eagles are a US based hard rock brand best known for their number one hit Hotel California, it won the Grammy Awards for the band. Success is also very strange as in this case. The Hotel California is the most played song across the world and even now the band itself would have been tired of playing it on request. It is difficult when a particular performance, act or song becomes a niche and is viral so as to make the artists say at times, today I will play something else.

They are a great band and have given us such wonderful songs, thanks to them for their soulful compositions. Dedicating this post to Glenn Lewis Frey who left us this year in January and created a void amongst us.

My Connect

I saw an advertisement featuring the song Hotel California where it said you can check in any time but you can never leave; I don’t exactly recall  the advertisement but it definitely led me to them.

My Pick

My pick for the band is Take it Easy, very soothing sound and it upfront gives you mood uplift:

D FOR DEF LEPPARD – A TO Z CHALLENGE

| Subhash

As I write, I have the hysterical feeling! Oh, I get hysterical, hysteria Oh can you feel it, do you believe it? This is true I really get hysterical.

I am a big fan of Def Leppard and love the band a lot and their dedication and belief on each other.

D

 

They are a hard rock and heavy metal band and a genre in itself.It takes me back to the lovely golden days of my college life with the song Photograph and Pour some sugar on me.

The motivating part of the band is a different story which you must know. Allen the drummer of the band lost his left arm in a car crash.  Allen was strong and motivated still to play the drums and use his feet to make up for the lost arm. They designed a special drum and waited until Allen perfected in it for their next release and never had the thought of an alternate drummer. It was after three years of rigorous practice and patience that the band came up with their next album Hysteria which was a huge success and took them to the #1 spot again. This duration is often referred to as the Hysteria Era when talking about the band.

The band members always kept faith in Rick Allen and never thought of a replacement or any kind of discontent in the group. This clearly reflects the love, faith and belief you have on each other especially during a tough time and you bounce back stronger.

My Connect

There was a time when audio cassette and CD ruled, to save cost we used to share with our friends. One of my friends had the album Vault, compilation of hits of Def Leppard. I borrowed from him and took time to absorb it in and understand their music and lyrics. I soon was following Def Leppard and enjoyed the tracks so much since then.

My Pick

The song which is my personal favourite is Photograph:
