Musical Interlude: The Shadows were a British band that had some popularity in the pre-Beatles era, doing most instrumentals and also were a difficult band to pigeonhole as their styles and influences ran the gamut. Here's a sample...
"Shadow Rock," performed by The Shadows.
#TBT #CurrentlyWatching They're pretty much unknown here in USA, but the Shadows were a huge influence on multiple generations of British rock'n'roll from the Beatles to Black Sabbath and beyond. They seem like hella nice people too.

"We Don't Talk Anymore" is a song recorded by #CliffRichard, written by #AlanTarney and produced by #theShadows' rhythm guitarist, #BruceWelch. It was released in 1979 as a single and reached number one in the #UKSinglesChart in August 1979, remaining there for four weeks, Richard's tenth UK number one and his first since "#Congratulations" in 1968.

Listening to #TheShadows
- self-titled
- Out of the Shadows
- The Sound of the Shadows
If only these albums were re-released in HiRes. I see no reason why they couldn't be.

Bonus shade (forgot about this one last night) โฆ
The Ultimate SHADY song would have to be the one without a name on C+C Music Factory's album "Gonna Make You Sweat". Throwing shade with their secret track.
"We're not going to be shady, just fierce".

The creepy laughing children is next level. Yet, I've always loved this track, for some reason.

This week's #ThursdayFiveList, courtesy of @neurothing , will have songs with the theme of #TheShadows. The genres within this list vary between heavy metal, jrock, jpop, and even obscure songs.
Myth & Roid - Shadowgraph
YouTube (Official MV): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epz9O3OStZM
Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/1B0HA8uX2OMfWBCqkPDs9T
This is an opening theme song to Boogiepop & Others. This song does well on reflecting the primary cast of characters and the complexity behind people's thoughts and actions.
Yousei Teitoku - Shadow Corps
YouTube (Offical MV): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sr7hSCtcd6Y
Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/1yWBY7v0eGStMMiA9UPyeM
Translation (Unofficial): https://www.jpopasia.com/youseiteikoku/lyrics/290191/shadow-corpse/shadow-corps/
This is a about (or at least how I interpret it) a kingdom is being razed where a scared king attempts to fan the flames against a coup d'etat.
Nishizawa Shiena - Light & Shadow
YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvSydfoRmg4
Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/6AZUX0aeww63C8z4XSVE67
Translation (unofficial): https://myjpop.jspinyin.net/lyrics-%E8%A5%BF%E6%B2%A2%E5%B9%B8%E5%A5%8F-light-and-shadow-%E6%AD%8C%E8%A9%9E/
This song feels like it's about overcoming difficulties and acknowledging the shadow walking alongside you.
Momori - Togameru Kage (ๅใใ็ฟณ)
YouTube (unofficial): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVGylz8faW0
Wordpress Translation (unofficial): https://mirrorofparanoia.wordpress.com/2012/05/24/togameru-kage-the-root-of-heads/
A mix of multiple meanings (while the literal translation is "Blamed Shadows", it's better interpreted as "Who to blame"), it is a song that feels like a cry of sorrows on something traumatic.
Diao ye zong (ๅๅถๆฃ) feat. Meramipop - Karakurenai no Kage (ใใใใใชใใฎๅฝฑ)
YouTube (Unofficial): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCQ7WuYXIHg
Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/48M7uujYm16G37XM4g15Ns
Translation (Unofficial): https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Lyrics:_%E3%81%8B%E3%82%89%E3%81%8F%E3%82%8C%E3%81%AA%E3%82%90%E3%81%AE%E5%BD%B1
A song that tells a story about one of the characters in Touhou, Reimu. Translating the title would be "The Crimson Shadow"
