Please listen to this beautiful masterpiece.
Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.

“I wish people made songs like they used to. Songs nowadays seem to be songs just for the sake of being songs. I like songs that give an actual message and not songs that are just made just to be songs.”
Ah, the constant struggle between artistic integrity, and the need to make money! haha
Placid, shallow music for the sake of dime and fame have always existed since music became an industry, however, I will certainly agree that the quantity of truly good music that makes it to radio (or pop-stream/general commercial) play these days is very thin; much thinner than in decades past.
That said, the production is happily not dead! It has simply sunken into the indie scenes and niche crowds. Likewise, some of the focus-group’d music isn’t so bad. Deep, perhaps not, but catchy still counts as a merit.
For me, it’s not as much the actual music that has lessened in quality on the pop charts (I honestly have nothing against the infamous four-chord progression), but the quality of the lyrics that has genuinely slipped. Even rap/hip-hop, a genre defined by its lyrical deliveries, rhyme schemes, wordplay, and timing, has become… mush. At least in the teeny-bopping Billboard lists.
I will also admit that I miss organic instrumentation. Electronics absolutely have their place beside any classic tool, but sadly the “beside” portion has gone near extinct as traditional musical instruments are growing hardline scarce. I adore a good Skrillexian dubstep bass drop, or a wavy far-out soundscape ala ELO or Rush, but I have also been moved to tears by live orchestra. The traditional sounds are missing, I believe.

I’m pretty sure even back then you had “songs just for the sake of being songs”, that isn’t exclusively a modern thing, it’s that you probably haven’t looked hard enough. Trust me, I study and listen to Top 40 songs from every single year on the daily, and I’ve heard trash from the days of yesterday that makes modern music sound like classical pieces in comparison.
I wish people made songs like they used to. Songs nowadays seem to be songs just for the sake of being songs. I like songs that give an actual message and not songs that are just made just to be songs. There are so many music artists that have inspired me to do so many stuff. The kind of music artists I love are people like Skillet, Three days grace, Breaking benjamin, MIKA, Panic! at the disco, Hollywood undead, etc.
Those are some of the most underrated bands I’ve ever listened to. There’s another band that I listen to called SPF 1000 and it’s really sad that they only have one album because they were awesome. I love the fact that they were a gothic band and even did a song called “the darkness” for one of my favorite tv shows “the grim adventures of billy and mandy”.
If you haven’t heard SPF 1000 then I so recommend them.
Here’s their full album.
I was born in 1998 and I know a fuckton of songs from before my time, as evident by my name. I love eurodance cause it’s a genre with so many one hit wonders (like ATC for example) and it’s all upbeat catchy stuff that I appreciate from pop music.

No, a lot of people have and that’s another great one hit wonder from the 80’s.
Oh yes I am quite familiar with that one. :D
Although I was only a small child in the latter half of the 1980’s; I developed an early (and lasting) affection for its music. That later evolved into a love of music from all kinds of genres, eras, and cultures. I’m not an obsessive tidbit expert on the musicians themselves like some of my peers, but I am a dedicated and eclectic lover of music.
I am glad you enjoy some older stuff too! I’d hate to see it all wither away.
On my way back from florida a song called “major tom” aka “coming home” by peter schilling played on the radio and when I first it was literally music to my ears. I hope I’m not the only one that’s heard this song as well.
Here, check it out.

I have vivid memories attached to it. The first time I heard it was in the car. My parents and I were on our way home at night during a moderate snow storm, and those whimsical synth bells came over the radio waves and straight into my spine (Edit: therefor, it must have been the winter of 2000).
The almost fairy like quality the song had along with its upbeat techno drive fit so perfectly against the visual experience of fat snowflakes hitting the windshield at speed from almost pure blackness ahead. The darkness in the car itself (only broken by a soft glow from the instrument panel) allowed my wild imagination to fly alongside the music itself. I also imagined a favorite fictional darling providing the vocals! At the time, my object of desire was Ryoko from Tenchi Muyo, and I very much associated the track with her.
Further encounters with the song aligned themselves with me playing Chrono Trigger and grumbling to myself about all those people suckered in by the Playstation 2. “The Super Nintendo is still king!”, my teen-aged brain shouted at nobody in particular, while I ogled Ayla’s sixteen bit thighs.

I believe I first heard it on the radio in 2001 rather than 2000. However, a quick Google search shall answer us this query!
elevator muzak
It was released in the year of our lord, 2000; but written in 1998. ATC were a German group, and it did not become a hit in the land of burgers, hot dogs, and cowboys until 2001.
There we go. :)
“No way to hear the Lune, around my head she goes,
This sunny melody, you want to sing with me,
Just la la la la la, the love pone is the key!”
And I mean I was born in 2001 so I wouldn’t have known about it then.

Well in these screen caps it also looks like they’re actually saying (la la la). That’s why I chose them.
Oh wow, that was before I was even born.

When was this song released? I feel bad if it was too long ago because I just discovered this song a few days ago.
