I gave it some thought, and I feel like the 5SF may introduce some great music to you guys, but every once and a while, I really want to focus on a particular song. So, every once and while, I’m going to do a post about a song of the day (sotd), and I hope that you will find it just as enjoyable (if not moreso) as the 5SF. It will also give me a chance to feature a song that I feel like deserves more than a one time posting in the 5SF; for you see, I don’t repeat songs in the 5SF, no matter how many times I play them on my ipod.
For the first sotd, I wanted to post this live, acoustic version of Robyn’s AMAZING song, Be Mine (h/t Arjan):
What an amazingly beautiful version of the song! I still remember the first time I heard Be Mine, and still to this day, it is a song that I truly love. A friend of mine gave me a copy of her fourth, self-titled album, and I instantly fell in love with it. At the time, it was an import, and it took like 3 more years for it to finally be released here in the US; and I had been enjoying it immensely that whole time. The whole album really highlights how incredibly talented Robyn is, and songs like Be Mine show the massive contribution she is giving to pop music. I can’t wait for a new album from her, and I hope that the wait isn’t too long.
Oh man, when I first saw this performance, I was blown away. It was the deciding factor in buying the album for me.
I’m still amazed at how much she changed when I rediscovered her. I thought she was pretty good with her U.S. debut, but her new stuff blows it out of the water.
I don’t know, this version seems so saccharine. I prefer the Dusty Kid remix.
@Michael: I only heard this version the other day, and one word: chills.
@Jeremy: I think that the vast difference between the two shows just how talented Robyn is, and I REALLY appreciate that about her!
