Focused on hand-clap songs last week.
Here are two:
It's so A-ha, with a little Kim Wilde sentiment mixed in for good measure. I love it. Have this on a playlist I've made that is quite poppy main-streamish. Realised that most of the songs I'd included had hand-claps and wondered about the hows and whys behind the hand-clap. How it fits in with a particular kind of pop song... It is quite a cheesy element, though perhaps like a sprinkle of happy. When I become conscious of hand-claps I'm reminded of watching Countdown and some god awful song called "Hooked on Classics".
The Mark Ronson, Miley Cyrus song "Nothing Breaks like a Heart" rocks the hand-claps. It is a great song, a really a lovely pastiche (you know what I'm talking about).
So yes, I've been thinking deeply about hand-claps over the last few weeks when I'm out with headphones on. hahaha!
There's also this kind of lovely Belle and Sebastian natural hand-clap. Happy, and interestingly lightening the mood of the lyrics.
I'll be stealing some time today to sketch out a little grasp of an idea that came recently in one of those night time waking moments. Catch that inspiration. Conversion of a spectacular failure into 'Project Imagination Platter'. Take your pick. Placing inspiration still. Here for this, finding my place - mojo unreachable but glitters out there somewhere. *tinkle tinkle*
