EPTAlso this video amuses me - I like how they found 20+ women with the exact same voice to sing the song in different languages.

I can see the argument that in English she sounds a lot older than Elsa is supposed to be, and sometimes she pushes it a little far. The French bugs me because the translation has some very weird bits, for example she says "The cold is the price I have to pay for my freedom" (directly her price, so you can't interpret it as "the price I make the villages around pay"), which flat out contradicts the English text. Dunno how it sounds to a non-speaker, but they also add unecessary syllabs at several points, so not only it doesn't has the same rythm as the original (while at other points they make concessions to stick to it, so it's inconsistent across the song), it also sounds unnatural to our ears. There are several weird breaks in sentences for verses, which I'd be fine with if there was that consistance. Being all over the place makes it worse. There are a few Disney songs where I prefer the French one though, like Arabian Nights or Be Prepared. When I spoke about French songs I was thinking along the lines of Renaud, Charles Aznavour, Léo Ferré, etc. known songwriters. Or in more recent years Benabar, Renan Luce, Grand Corps Malade (slam), the Wriggles or the Fatal Picards. The former ones are pretty much putting socially committed poetry into songs, while the latter are more using the language and constructing their verses in cheeky ways (they're still somewhat committed for some of them). | ||

It sounds a little weird to me as i heard the english first, and it diverges slightly in the lyrics here and there, but it's very well sung | ||

Doesn't help talking music with people around me when they all seem to love stuff like that (while often shitting on French pop for having boring/trivial/trite lyrics... while they listen to these tried-and-true love songs, what). Partly just the fact is sounds pretty decent, (some nice guitar and vocals, and most songs are pretty fun/chill), and partly just the story that comes with him. Literally started from nothing, spent years playing several gigs a day to almost no audiences, sleeping on couches/sometimes trains, always being the nicest guy ever even when he had absolutely nothing. (Something like, once at a 40 person venue 60 people showed up, so he played a second gig outside afterwards for free, for the people who couldn't get it.) And now that he's suddenly successful, he's still being a good guy about it. Also write all his own lyrics and songs etc. Saw him at glastonbury, (manages almost all his own music live and alone with a loop pedal too,) last year and he was really good live, and I've liked him since then, has a few songs I really like too. edit: also my favourite line ever + Show Spoiler + | ||

However that post is normal work start time for east coast. Also, I am a sleep advocate, not getting enough sleep is really bad for your body so don't do it. Also, I never sent Eppa a pm so I'm not sure what that was about but I can send one if you'd like Eppa | ||

Shit tier: Americans, French, Chinese, Indians These guys not only don't want to be social, they go out of their way to not be social and to make it clear that they are not going to be social. They also are typically criminally ignorant of the country they are visiting, to the point of being blatantly racist and disrespectful of their surroundings. They are also coincidentally probably rich and probably spend their money in idiotic ways. Awful tier: Other types of Asians, africans, italians These guys are probably reasonably cool, but likely don't speak English well at all, so get a reduced tier because hanging out with them can be difficult. Mid tier: Canadians, Europeans not listed elsewhere These guys are a mixed bag. Sometimes you have good experiences, sometimes you don't. Other factors can move them up and down in the tier list. Large groups are usually not social outside their group. Couples are usually not social. Small groups and single travellers are usually more social. Single girls are usually the most social, although they are also the most rare. You can tell a lot from a backpacker by habits. If its Asia and they're up at 5-6 am, or if their backpack has a yoga mat strapped to it somewhere and they have good shoes, they're probably an experienced traveller. Conversely, if they start their sightseeing day at 11 or are wearing flip flops in the mountains, they probably don't know what they're doing. People who carry lonely planet books in very visible places probably want to talk to you. People who are nose deep in a book or a phone at the hostel probably don't. If the first thing they talk about in regards to their excursion is the local alcohol or anything related to that, they're probably idiots. If they try to talk about museums or local culture/history, you probably want to keep them around. God tier: Germans, Australians, New Zealanders. Most of the time when you're social in a hostel, its because you started a conversation with somebody else. If somebody else started a conversation with you, its almost always going to be one of these guys. They're the type who travel alone because they are expecting to meet somebody else on their trip and hook up with them. They're usually very friendly, and also have usually done this sort of thing before, so there will be much less of a chance of them doing stupid shit.
