Tighten Up (The Black Keys song) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Yes, The Black Keys are awesome. They are a rock duo originally from the US that are fan favourites across the nation. Yes, this Canadian gal likes them as well!
Today’s Tunes With Tuesday post is Tighten Up by The Black Keys.
The video is well-done, set in a playground and has a story attached that matches the lyrics. I laugh at the three-minute mark when a pretty lady enters the playground. Watch and see what happens.
One reason I like this song is that the voices are genuine. I can tell that the singers aren’t trying to do great tricks with their voices or use fancy electronic machines to sound even better. They are themselves. That is a message that I think is very important. Be yourself.
You are enough.
Have a great (rocking) Tuesday!
Thanks for reminding us that being oneself is just fine!
Thanks granbee for visiting with your positive spirit! Have a wonderful weekend
LOVE IT …………..
CB u got goood taste …:)
Rock On …….xx
Thanks CB! Rock on my friend, woot!
I am learning so much about music i would otherwise never hear! I don’t listen to the radio much anymore since there is just way too much advertising and chit chat, jokes, etc,, but now i may just start turning on some radio stations while tapping away in the laptop instead of the ole’ Bowie, Dead and Zeppelin CDs…
Glad to hear it Marc. I rarely play music while I write but love it as a way to refocus my mind and even for inspiring new ideas. Thanks for stopping by!
Always gotta be yourself, no matter what! We don’t want another “Friday” song incident in our lives!
Quite right Keith!
Great sound and write Christy… mind if another Canadian joins you in saying well done to the boys…
Not at all Rolly! How nice that we like some of the same music. Waving to you my neighbour
I love the kid who does a great lip sync.
Yes Canandra, I thought the idea behind the video was so creative! Nice to see you
Great video! Not only does it teach us that being yourself is always best, but that violence doesn’t get you what you want. Thanks for sharing, Christy.
Quite right Sue, and a bit of humour thrown in doesn’t hurt! Thanks for stopping by for my posts
Great video!
Hi Stefan, glad you like it too!
Great Band! Great Post!
Ditto the great band comment and thanks!
Another Newby on me but loved it just the same..
xx
I like sharing music here Sue, and introducing bands you may not have otherwise known about. Thanks for stopping by
Would you believe that was my very first time listening to the Black Keys? I’m so behind the times! Thanks for keeping me up to speed, Christy.
Funny how certain songs just miss our ears completely isn’t it. I’m sure you know songs I don’t know and vice versa. Take care Dana!
