The free soul is rare, but you know it when you see it - basically because you feel good, very good when you are near or with them.

📹 Jeff Buckley - So Real (1995) Buckley drafted young guitarist Michael Tighe into his band late in the recording of Grace. A guitar part that Tighe penned in his early teens sparked this song. He recalled to Uncut: "I composed the chord progression for 'So Real' when I was 14 or 15. When I first met Jeff, I played that for him and he was really taken with it. A year or two later, at some of the rehearsals for their first tour, he was like, 'Remember that song you played me on your bed a couple of years ago at your parents place?' So I started playing it, and he got behind the drums and came up with that beat and started singing the melody of the chorus." The lyrics came last. Tighe recalled: "We did 'So Real' in an afternoon. That night Jeff was feverishly writing in his notepad, then he took a walk round Hell's Kitchen come back came back and recorded the vocals for it. So I think he wrote most of the lyrics that night. It was pretty beautiful the way it all came together so quickly." #jeffbuckley #soreal #grace #vocals #90s #90smusic #90salternative #alternative 🔗 Original: #gramstr #Instagram #VideoShare Posted via ⚡gramstr 🤖

📹 Promotional Footage of Ian Dury and the Blockheads performing “Sex & Drugs and Rock ’N’ Roll” on Dutch TV Show “Top Pop” “Sex & Drugs & Rock ’N’ Roll” was the first single release by Ian Dury, and has since become an anthem. His solo debut album New Boots And Panties!! was released a month later without including the single. Ian felt that including singles on subsequent albums was cheating the fans who already bought the single. “Sex and Drugs...” and the album were released as a Dury solo effort as he didn’t have a proper backing band yet. On the following tour, now with a full band, his backing band was named The Blockheads after a song on the album. Later releases were subsequently released as Ian Dury & The Blockheads. Dury wrote lyrics on A4 paper and presented them in a pile to his songwriting partner Chas Jankel to pick from. Jankel consistently passed on “Sex and Drugs” as he found the title a cliché. As he eventually read the entire lyrics and one day heard Dury humming the melody to the riff of the song, he started working on it. Jankel later found out that Dury had lifted the melody from a bass line by bass player Charlie Haden on a jazz album by Ornette Coleman. “Sex and Drugs and Rock And Roll” has since become a commonly used expression in popular culture, but the song is not about rock star excess as the title may indicate, but about living a life outside the norm. In a 1995 interview with Unpublished, Dury explained: “’Sex And Drugs’ started as a mild admonishment and ended as a lovely anthem. There was a time when I got fed up with it, but it got a new lease of life. When me and Jankel wrote this song we stole the riff from a Charlie Haden bass solo on a 1960 Ornette Coleman album called Change Of The Century. I met Charlie Haden later and he told me that he’d nicked the riff too, from a Cajun folk tune! It was banned by the BBC when we released it as a single but it sold about 18,000 copies. With this song I was trying to suggest there was more to life than either of those three - sex, drugs and rock’n’roll, or pulling a lever all day in a factory.” #Music #RockNRoll #IanDuryAndTheBlockheads #IanDury 🔗 Original: #InstaScrape #Instagram #VideoShare Posted via InstaScrape 🤖

📹 The legendary David Lynch often described creativity not as something you control, but something you listen for. To him, ideas arrive like signals—unexpected, mysterious, and waiting to be caught. He called it “fishing for ideas”: staying still, staying open, and letting inspiration come to you. It’s a fitting metaphor for an artist whose work flows effortlessly across film, painting, music, and even furniture design. Lynch’s surreal world isn’t tied to a single medium—it’s a state of mind that surfaces wherever the idea leads. 🔗 Original: #InstaScrape #Instagram #VideoShare Posted via InstaScrape 🤖
