This song has been in my life for so much time that I can't even remember the first time I heard it. Some people don't understand why I like this song since it's not from my generation, however, the truth is, it doesn't matter how old a song is for me, if it touches me in some way, I will consider it as a good song, regardless of its age.
Song: A Matter of Feeling
Artist: Duran Duran
Year: 1986

The Queen is Dead - The Smiths
"The Queen is dead" it's probably the most written headline in the past few days as the Queen Elizabeth II passed away. Yet the same headline brings back in memory one of the most controversial album by the iconic british "rock" band 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐬 - 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐈𝐬 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐝 (1986).
The Queen Is Dead was a game changer on many levels. The album embedded love, death, humor, wit, and political commentary.
As for my favorite two songs of the album, "𝐈 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫" and "𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐈𝐬 𝐚 𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐍𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐆𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐎𝐮𝐭", I believe that no other band has ever sounded so simultaneously in love with both life and death. A pair of unrequited, not reciprocated love.
The first, through its writing, takes a ballad into misery from its opening image of the empty bed as a grave, through the harmful inversions of "The sea wants tot take me/ The knife wants to slit me", onto the self-mangling and finally to the grace of "It's so easy to hate/ It takes strength to be gentle and kind".
As for " 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐈𝐬 𝐚 𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐍𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐆𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐎𝐮𝐭" and its tearing up chorus and famous cuts from the movie "500 days of summer".
The scenario hovers from a state of yearning to satisfaction, from emptiness to a plentitude. Beyond its melodramatic scene of a double-decker bus and the end romance of the not-quite-lovers, the song transcends misery with a sublime vision of faith in the tiniest flicker of hope.
At the end I think that both songs are dramatic, lush, beautiful and has aged very well.
