Always wanted to learn how to play the Bass Guitar - this is definitely a classic song for budding bass players (see here), and for me (in particular), Ceremony by New Order and Afterglow by INXS. Did a lot of reading up on the Bass Guitar during Jenny's last stay in the Hospital. She encouraged me to give it a try. Maybe one day ..
Thought about this song last night when we talked about the "Wandering Mind" and "Pressure" during racing at our Outrigger Catch Up Dinner. Hopefully will find some time to put up some good links/quotes that I have on the topic.
Have to admit I have always had a bit of a school boy crush on Annie Lennox from her days in the late 70's band, The Tourists. In this tribute performance she looks remarkably like Natalie Portman in her role as Nina in Black Swan.
Under Pressure - Lyrics
Pressure pushing down on me Pressing down on you no man ask for Under pressure - that burns a building down Splits a family in two Puts people on street
It's the terror of knowing What this world is about Watching some good friends Screaming let me out Pray tomorrow - gets me higher Pressure on people - people on streets
Chippin' around - kick my brains around the floor These are the days it never rains but it pours People on streets - people on streets
It's the terror of knowing What this world is about Watching some good friends Screaming let me out Pray tomorrow - gets me higher Pressure on people - people on streets
Turned away from it all like a blind man Sat on a fence but it don't work Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn
Why - why - why Love
Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking Can't we give ourselves one more chance Why can't we give love Cos love's such an old fashioned word And love dares you to care for The people on the edge of the light And love dares you to change our way of Caring about ourselves This is our last dance This is our last dance This is ourselves Under pressure Under pressure Pressure
