Ep. 6: Taking Over Me

VideoFuzzy the Soundtrack

Hiya! My name's Terry J. Aman and in this, my sixth episode of VideoFuzzy the Soundtrack titled "Taking Over Me," I focus on artists in my music collection whose names begin with the letter E.

In my Title Track, I talk about Evanescence and Amy Lee's haunted, ethereal vocals paired with delicate piano and thrash metal. Specifically I explore their song "Taking Over Me" off the "Fallen" CD and Lee's comments that the song is an exploration of obsession. I also talk about other compilations in my collection including their live LP "Anywhere But Home" and "The Open Door."

In Lost Tracks, songs that did not transfer properly from one PC to the next, I added "Llorando" by Escencia, and "Veronica" by Elvis Costello. Then under Influences, artists with entire LPs in my collection, I talk about Enigma and Enya, Eve 6 and Edie Brickell.

In my Breakouts segment, bands with multiple tracks in my collection, I talk about Elton John and I want to share a couple of side-by-side comparisons I found on YouTube. First, the side-by-side video for "I'm Still Standing" that appeared in the movie at https://youtu.be/VSKKfDT083o. Then, I found where someone put together "Rocketman" vs. Elton John videos at https://youtu.be/6WLXin59owM -- truly astonishing presentation. Also, comments on Eminem, Earl "Fatha" Hines, EmmyLou Harris, En Vogue, Elvis Costello, the Eurythmics and covers of early Tori Amos releases by E-Clypse.

In Sparks, artists with one song in my collection, I chat with my friend John Allen about Ed Sheeran's "Give Me Love," largely on the strength of his having called it "the worst song ever" in a Facebook post a thousand years ago, and me taking the opportunity to broaden my insights into the music in my collection. Other artists I chat about Eric Heatherly, Everlast, Erasure, Elastica, E.G. Daily, Edwyn Collins, Elliot Goldenthal, Eliza Gilkyson and Eileen Barton.
