The clips are the 10th Doctor and Rose Tyler.  This is not really very good fidelity, but the official video posted on YTube is so horribly compressed it almost sounds like a different song.  The 10th Doctor and Rose was the best incarnation anyway :)

When one first listens to this song, it might seem that Marina and the Diamonds (her stage name) seems like just another shallow disco queen, but it couldn't be farther from the truth.  When the entire body of her work is looked at, I think she stands out as one of the most creative and insightful artists of the 10s and although she is kinda famous, I feel she is still underrated.  Especially, since much of her work has gone virtually unnoticed.  Catchy tunes, unique chord progressions. poignant and insightful lyrics, great production, flash videos...she is a brilliant artist of our modern times.

Lyrics

 

 

 

 

[Verse 1: Tomine Harket]

We're not in love

We share no stories

Just something in your eyes

Don't be afraid

The shadows know me

Let's leave the world behind

 

[Chorus: Tomine Harket]

Take me through the night

Fall into the dark side

We don't need the light

We'll live on the dark side I see it, let's feel it

While we're still young and fearless

Let go of the light

Fall into the dark side Fall into the dark side

Give into the dark side

Let go of the light

Fall into the dark side [

 

Verse 2 - Au/Ra]

Beneath the sky

As black as diamonds

We're running out of time

Don't wait for truth

To come and blind us

Let's just believe their lies

 

[Pre-Chorus - Au/Ra]

Believe it, I see it I know that you can feel it

No secrets worth keeping

So fool me like I'm dreaming

 

[Chorus]

Take me through the night

Fall into the dark side

We don't need the light

We'll live on the dark side I see it, let's feel it

While we're still young and fearless

Let go of the light Fall into the dark side

Fall into the dark side

Give into the dark side

Let go of the light Fall into the dark side

 

 

[Chorus]

Take me through the night 

Fall into the dark side

We don't need the light

We'll live on the dark side I see it, let's feel it

While we're still young and fearless

Let go of the light Fall into the dark side.

I love her songs! She has a very interesting voice and indeed very catchy tunes.

Yamaha introduced Vocaloid in 2004.  Vocaloid 5 was released a couple of weeks ago and has made leaps and bounds progress over the last fourteen years.  The synthetic singing voices have several different male and female sonic avatars along with their visual anime avatars.  There are live Vocaloid concerts and a boat load of original music made by folks that bought the software from Yamaha.  There are not a lot of great songs yet since it seems that the creators tend to be computer geeks as opposed to musicians.  Yamaha introduced  an English version a couple of years ago, but Vocaloid is really only popular in Japan and even that market is mostly otaku or weeaboo (animae fans or anime devotees).

 

With a bit of improvement (quite a bit actually) I think we may start hearing more and more synthetic vocalists.  Every year we see more and more electronic music falling into the mainstream...look at this thread...tons of music that was never blown out a horn or strummed on a string instrument.  Many many tunes that are completely or in a large part computer generated or sampled sounds organized with software into real honest to goodness pop music.  

 

What does a real musician do when they can't sing or they sing like me (that would be terrible).  Buy the software for a canned voice is an answer for the near future.  No fees to the singer, no rehearsal problems, no sickness at gigs,and more that I can't think of at the moment.  Vocaloid is the last piece in the synthetic pop music machine.   While there are not a lot of great tunes out there now, it has to be just a matter of time before real song-smiths discover and start using Vocaloid voices.  Below is one of the better V-tunes.  Apparently the Japanese singing is much truer to the Japanese language than the English version is to English language, but the English version has only been on the market for a couple of years...it will improve, especially as demand starts to increase.

 

Not the best song in the world, but it is an acceptable dance tune and is a good example of an English Vocaloid singer.
