The Maxence Cyrin piano cover is haunting in an abandoned-mansion way; the Goldfrapp original is Shirley Bassey by way of Sergio Leone, fed through a Korg synthesizer. (I’m not just saying that.) There might be a little Bernard Herrmann there as well. Frankenstein would want your mind, your lovely head. Melancholy; weird; unearthly.
A girlfriend of mine once described my artwork as "emo". We broke up shortly afterward. Unrelated.
My random art tooter tooted some on of my Felt Mountain pieces recently, and it got me thinking about the song that got me into Goldfrapp in the first place. The artwork here diverged somewhat from the original idea, and the song. I think it got quite a bit darker.
im revisiting some music artists from my early childhood, she was one of my mom's favorite.
i really like this almost "circus" inspired outfit she wears in a performance, she's very pretty and her music means a lot to me! my favorite and most nostalgic song from Goldfrapp is "Eat Yourself"
i recommend you listen to the album "black cherry" it's one of her bests.
I’m going to post this first, because it’s more eerie if you don’t have the original immediately in mind: Goldfrapp’s “Lovely Head.” It’s an ostensibly pretty piano cover, just the piano, that’s all, but because it’s “Lovely Head,” it just… gets under your skin, with an unsettling gothic-melancholy quality. The phrase that keeps coming to my mind is “It’s not supposed to be like this.” Maybe that’s what the inevitable gothic heroine is thinking, I don’t know. Jane Eyre, Turn of the Screw, Crimson Peak: It wasn’t supposed to be like this.
