"I Want to Be Buried in Your Backyard"
..
It's been a while since the last time I featured a music video here on my blog site. Now, I've uploaded again another one.
I was not expecting to find an uploadable music video of any song by the new band Nightmare of You, but here it is! I got it from videocodezone dot com.
Everyone who knows me knows that I'm a diehard Alternative Rock / New Wave music aficionado. But I have to reiterate and categorically emphasize that my musical knowledge and preference is not limited to the genre. I appreciate almost any kind of music: particularly Classical (Baroque, Rennaisance, symphonies), Cultural (Chinese Folk, European acoustic-based music), Metal (from Death to Glam), Punk Rock (from hardcore to bubblegum), and even Pop ("Boybands" and "Girlbands") and Yoyoy Villame and April Boy Regino and The Beatles, The Cascades, The Zombies, Michael Jackson, Christina Aguilera, Madonna, Kelly Clarkson, Menudo, Ricky Martin, Elvis Presley, The Monkees, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Rush, Eraserheads, Rivermaya, True Faith, Side A, Hagibis, Utada Hikaru, Tompang Kintong, Preket Bicus, Andrew E., Francis M., Jessa Zaragoza, Imelda Papin, Freddie Aguilar, Rey Valera....
BUT, undeniably and admittedly, New Wave music is my home, the music to which I listen when I need comfort, inspiration, and solace. And being a voracious reader, I really allot time to research about the artists' history, background, and other related stuff. This may seem trivial to many people, but it's very important to me. It's like, if you say your favorite food is kare-kare, then you should at least know its main ingredients and how it's cooked.
Oh well, I've already written dozens of articles regarding New Wave music, but I don't get tired talking about it, perhaps because I have so many things to say; I know a lot about the genre, things I want to share to many people.
Some new friends I have here in Manitoba are, until now, fascinated to learn of a person who is still deeply into New Wave music after all the years. I keep on telling them and letting them understand that New Wave music is not limited to the '80s, that it didn't stop there.
Yes, there are many people who think that New Wave is an era, that no more New Wave bands exist today. Hey, aside from The Cure, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, Echo & the Bunnymen, and U2, who are all to this day still there, countless bands of the same genre continue to appear here and there. It's just a matter of how to find them. One of these new New Wave bands is Nightmare of You.
Nightmare of You is a relatively new band, having been formed in 2003, in Long Island, New York, USA; but as you listen to their songs, all the qualities of New Wave music are there: the poetic lyricism, the melodic and jangly guitars, the melodic basslines, the keyboards and synth...
The music video featured here on my blog site is a song by Nightmare of You, entitled "I Want to Be Buried in Your Backyard," which comes off their debut album, Nightmare of You (2005). Having a keen ear for anything New Wave, I'm safely sure that The Smiths is one of their major influences. I can listen to the entire album in repeat mode. That's how New Wave Nightmare of You is.
The streets are all violent with murderous excitement
The hunter and the prey are dancing every day
That waltzing jibberish where intake becomes outlandish
I'm in a bad way every passing day
So where do we go from here
I'll say you're a shining star
You'd do great in L.A.
And I keep fixing every habit that I break
Oh Megan, is this thing of ours still on?
For I haven't slept a wink since you have been gone
Now I want to be buried in your backyard
And when the flowers grow just know you're still in my heart
You're still in my heart
A flash of dark interest steers us into this car crash
Uniting our remains, a fiery hurray...ay ay ay
Our hands touch unnoticed pressed up against melting glass
You're calling out my name as the air escapes
Oh, where do we go from here
I'll say you're a shining star
You'd do great in L.A.
And I keep fixing every habit that I break
Oh Megan, is this thing of ours still on?
For I haven't slept a wink since you have been gone
Now I want to be buried in your backyard
And when the flowers grow just know you're still in my heart
Where do we go from here
I'll say you're a shining star
You'd do great in L.A.
And I keep fixing every habit that I break
Oh Megan, is this thing of ours still on?
For I haven't slept a wink since you have been gone
Now I want to be buried in your backyard
And when the flowers grow just know you're still in my heart
When the flowers grow just know you're in my heart
When the flowers grow just know you're still in my heart

Aiye and Willie,
Long time no hear ah! Wills, how are you? Bakasyon ka r'yan sa Pilipinas?
Padalan kita ng CD-Rs, saan ko ia-address?
By the way, check out n'yo yung musical project ni Rain with his brother--The Rain. Maglalabas sila ng album. Judge for yourself after mapakinggan n'yo yung isang kanta sa MySpace ng The Rain.
