I'm a little late to get on this bandwagon, but here is one of my 'new' discoveries...

A heavily edited version of this song was used in a commercial for the TV show 'Criminal Minds' on Ion TV, and it kept haunting me until I finally tracked it down!!​

 

[spacekitty]

She also does a great version of this song, that was written by Leonard Cohen and made popular (?) by Concrete Blonde....

​

 

[Bovinia]

Great finds SK! I'm like that too if I hear something that catches my attention on a commercial or show, I can't rest until I track it down

Philosophically speaking, we find our balance in life by knowing when we need to walk alone, and when we need someone to walk along with us

Well said. I couldn't have put it better myself

You are a truly remarkable, amazing person. Don't let anyone to tell you otherwise!

Honestly?

Hand on heart.

This song...Wasted years... hmm...Not so catchy title.

Personally, I don't believe that there even is a such a thing. No matter how dreadful one's life has been, it's still an experience. Maybe not so pleasant one, but still an experience, nevertheless.

And that's how we grow stronger, wiser, more clever - through experience. Without difficulties, we wouldn't grow at all

About, those wasted years... She doesn't buy it either

Here's some Irish music. Both of these songs are very high on my top ten list :

Performance no:1

 

[marviner]

And no:2

 

[marviner]

This one's for you Bov

Work of a Finnish composer - One called Lasse Mårtenson


This song has all kinds of feelings, Sadness, joy,relief, darkness, desperation, bravery - you name it. It has everything.

And it's a very beautiful one too

 

[marviner]

As you know I'm such a big fan of Nightwish and especially Tarja - so I couldn't resist

Dedicated to you Bov. As always

 

[Bovinia]

I'm sorry I missed you last night Marv. Such kind words and beautiful music to see this morning...thank you

 

[marviner]

No worries. You're welcome

It seems that you always find the right thing to say - and I can tell you that's a very rare and exceptional skill to have. But you've got it





And next some cheerful music to lighten up the day

R.I.P. Jack....

​

I was shocked and saddened by the news...

The 1st major concert I ever went to was the "Farewell Cream" tour in Oct. of '68, but he was so much more than just a 'bassist', and quite an accomplished musician/composer in his own right!!

 

[spacekitty]

And next some cheerful music to lighten up the day

Sorry to be such a downer with my above post...

But the music world has lost another great!!

 

[marviner]

Sorry to be such a downer with my above post...

Don't be sorry. I didn't know, but I feel for you

 

[Bovinia]

I read about Jack Bruce yesterday, yes he was so much more than just Cream's bassist. RIP Mr. Bruce!

When I started playing guitar on my own (long time ago) I was influenced by Jimi Hendrix. I tried to play his riffs - and I failed most of the time - but eventually I got better at it, and quite soon I formed a band with my friends. Well, I wasn't the best musician in the world and nor were my friends, so we soon came into the conclusion that we (as a band) need professional guidance.

So we took lessons from this one awesome older guy who showed us all how to play.He often played some old recordings (tapes and vinyls) and showed us the notes and patterns and how to play those difficult parts etc.

One of the first songs he told us to practice and play was this:



This was especially difficult and frustrating for our drummer, because the intro is in 5/4 (four beats per time but you have to count to five - and therefore go one over every time). It wasn't easy for us other players either, but our drummer was totally losing his mind

 

[marviner]

Ahem. Something totally different. My friend plays in this band:

 

[marviner]

My friend does not play in this band (unfortunately) - and nor do I - although I wish I would - 'cause I just love Irish music

 

[marviner]

Typical night in a Finnish pub / restaurant - provided there's live music like this

In Finnish - sorry.

The speech before the song is like:

Next song is a song,
where you can sing along -
provided (of course) you know this song.

If you do not know this song - or don't know how to sing along

- then please shut up!!!

[marviner]

Another Finnish song .Sound's Irish thou - just like the one before (have I mentioned that I like Irish music

My translation of the first verse and chorus:

That flight just ended into same restaurant
The doorman welcomes him to join
And folks with good intentions greets him with open arms
So this hero joins - and party's on

Time has passed since this hero had his greatest events
Old stories, he might exaggerate 'em.

The world is there, for him to conquer
So he swears and then raises his glass

He's the hero of the Night, so please be kind.
The morning comes too soon and kills the night.

He's the hero of the night, so please be kind.
Power of the magic potion fades with light .

Fades with light...
