"If You've Made it This Far..."

"You're where...Dragons...are..."

Points to whomever recognizes that quote paraphrase...

Wow, you're memory must be good. (Or you really liked that movie for some reason XD. I know I did :D)

Anyhow, this is the Japanese version of the opening (as I understand it) from How to Train Your Dragon. 

It's awesome by the way.

I really liked the Jpop twist, and I think the song both works with the movie, the characters, and the visuals, as well as corresponds to the glow-y, fantasy/adventure...ness How to Train Your Dragon entails. It also reminds me heavily of an anime theme song, and thus bring the presence of Japanimation to the movie; a strange, but no less tasty combination.

But I do digress...

Love Deprived---Britt Nicole, "Headphones"

Less than 500,000 views. A little bit more views than i usually like, but this song still ought to be watched more often.

I'm back.

;)



...You Know What, We Simply Present: Gwen Smith's Uncluttered

Oh dear, this really doesn't fall into any of the categories...It's just been on my mind today.

Awesome video, just awesome. Excellent message, and...only <10000 page views! (so it COULD count for a "Love Deprived"...)

Love Deprived: Amazone by Sortilège

I'm not completely familiar with Sortilège, truth be told, but I do like what I've heard so far; primarily this particular song (more on them later...I have a weakness for foreign music, especially rap, opera, or heavy metal. Don't ask me why).  

What I gathered from the lyrics and title, it is about women who are Amazon warriors and describes their passion and lethal ability masked by disarming beauty (that is my guess, anyway. ;)  Being new to the rules of the French language, I wasn't sure how to position the words so that the translator that I used [Google's very own langauge tools] would make the most sense. Also, it's an online translator, albeit a rather good one; anyone know of a site with translated lyrics or who speaks French? I like to check up on all of my songs, to make sure the lyrics are not only good quality but okay spiritually. :)

While this does seem to be one of their more popular ones, it still has (currently) under 6000 views. Enjoy.

Love Deprived: Tax Free by Jimi Hendrix

Don't know much about the guy, but I know this instramental rocks. And the top choices on youtube have less than 6000 views.

Yes, the pix involve mostly Godzilla, but think about it; it increases the awesomeness by at least 55%. At very least.

(Also, a note to my readers: I personally think that taking youtube videos off the web because they contain a song which viewers can listen to fully without paying for is stupid. If listeners know what the whole song sounds like, they will more apt to buy it, and thus will buy more songs than if they were being cautious. It opens up the market to people who would have never heard of or tried the song otherwise. It does not grant full access like a download does, and thus, if they like the song enough, they will most likely buy it anyway. It's like a free sample: it whets the listener's appitite. If it's good, it's what they're going to buy for dinner. Why am I telling you, the readers this? My argument only works if someone eventually purchases the song. It doesn't have to be you, I'm just saying; if you like it enough, you should probably end up buying it. It's best for the artists and for you. Sorry if that was heavy handed, but few things irritate me more than removal of youtube videos becuase of "Copy Right Infringment", when people clearly state that they do not own the song, so-and-so does. If the companies get more money from these videos, they are less likely to take them down. Okay, I'm off my soap box.)

Randomized Cool: Vocaloid Luka, Just Be Friends

Seriously, a computer singing. A person who programmed a computer to sing. Basically, a human acting as the parts of another human's brain which control vocolization, pitch, tempo, etc. but for a computer system. How awesome is that? Put it to a somewhat surreal video in an anime art style, and you've got it.

Love Deprived: Charmaine

Charmaine is an excellent artist, but most people have never heard of her, unless they heard her song "Run" on Airone. Most of youtube videos of her songs have <50000 views.

She works in the electronic music genre, I believe?

(If the videos aren't working, click this link for "Run" and this one for "Tokyo".)

Her website is here.

Love Deprived: New Age Improv on a Bench

Okay, I cheated a little, but...

I am seeking out things which are quite good or excellent, but which few appreciate: videos, art, songs, bands, theories (math, science...), etc. and letting the world know about. Well, okay, for now the occasional random person who stumbles upon this blog by accident and doesn't immediately click the "next blog" button or tries a different URL or something.

This one I found out about during a Philosophy group, on the subjects of Christianity and Relativism. More on that subject later, but for now...enjoy. (P.S. We Christians are not that cruel, it is not the love of God...but it's sure dang funny.)

(P.P.S. Most videos I post will have 10,000 views or less, but there are exceptions [i.e. I will sometimes post videos with less than, say, 100,000 views, but I prefer more under-loved. The more obscure, the better!]. also, if anyone has any suggestions at all, I'm open to it. However, be warned---I am far less open to any thing, videos, songs, or otherwise, with inapropriateness content of any kind. I am not open to anything obscene. At all. No exceptions.
[:P too harsh? Thought it sounded a little stiff... You know, in a hilarious kind of way...])

(Edit: I have discontinued Love Deprived, but I still post stuff that I think needs more love, and i will mention it when I post it. You may still enjoy. ^J^)
