Number one

Hey !

This is my first entry on Song-Seeker. I'm still working on some of the details of the blog and trying to juggle  my schedule but things are coming together slowly. Did I mention that this blog will be slow but sure? That's what I plan on building here. It's going to be a database of really good songs. My biggest problem will be to organize them in such a way as to make them all as visible as possible. I am, of course, open to all suggestions! Don't hesitate to bring on the comments. I'm not really an experienced blogger, I'm sure all of you know more about this than me.

Okay, I'm not sure exactly how this blog is going to end up. I still don't know exactly what I want to do with it. All I know is that I really want it to be as good as possible. I will definetly buy a good domain name in the near future. I just want to build some content first.

Do you know "Laid back"? It's probably one of the most underrated bands of all time. It began playing in 1979 Copenhagen and they're probably best known for songs such as "White Horse" (If you wanna ride, ride the wild horse... maybe you remember that) and "Sunshine Reggae". Read more about Laid back on wikipedia.

Now...this is one of their greatest songs (beat starts at 0:54):

Bakerman. Just listen to the beat. How do you describe being laid back, if not through this. When I listen to the song I feel like merging with the couch. It's just one of those songs that takes you to another place. Listen to the sax at the end. How cool is that. Surely...the lyrics are not really profound, but that's the whole point! You don't need a lot to be laid back. You don't need a fancy relaxation room with scented candles. Just imagine a baker. Baking. Bread. What else do you need? Let the beat surround you and sit back. It's a wonderful ride.

There are other relaxing songs out there, I know. This one is fascinating to me because I don't get sleepy listening to it. It gives me clarity. Things slow down just enough to take control. I actually listen to it before studying. It keeps my mind from being all over the place.

Oh...almost forgot. "Sakubona, unjani wena?" means 'Hello, how are you?' in Zulu.

I hope you'll enjoy this song as much as I do. I love it!
