Truly someone ahead of his time. Although he’s known for some of his earlier work, I love the whole vibe of this song specifically.

A not-particularly-coded message from the Furs' Richard Butler to the LGBTQ community -- I just love that he was doing this in 1982.
Butler is the first artist I ever interviewed (long ago) who helped me to understand that a song meant whatever I thought it meant vs. what HE thought it meant - sure, he had a specific audience and message in mind here but he explicitly gave permission to "follow where my mind goes."
I adore this band so much and don't get why they don't get more love here and everywhere. Classic without being "classic rock." ❤️

I’ve really been falling into early 2000s nostalgia recently. This song is so dreamlike and airy.

This is my second Lady Gaga "Today I Listened To" and surely not my last. I think many people have been nostalgic for the music of the mid-2000s as we plunge headfirst into all of the heartbreak and chaos that 2025 is bringing.
Enter "Abracadabra", a teaser for the upcoming LG7 album, that I really just chalked up as a fun, energetic dance song at first. But after listening to the song several times and coming across a TikTok video analyzing some of the lyrics, I feel like this is the perfect anthem for the concept of Joy as Resistance.
The etymology of the word "abracadabra" is "I will create as I speak". In the face of adversity, we have no choice but to create the world we want to live in, molding ourselves into who we want to be without input from anyone else.
We have to "keep our mind on the distance" — the life we crave and desire for us and others — "when the Devil turns around”.

I feel like everyone moved on from this way too fast. One of the songs where the music video enhances it by 1000%
