I try to close my eyes Clear my mind Just listen To the wildflowers grow Such whispers on the breeze Don't come easy now Over all this noise Echo - Mandolin Orange Switching paths abruptly yet again...Hailing from just down the road, this pair has my volte for bluegrass crossover group on the decade. https://youtu.be/s3VtlYjDmFM
That Mandoline Orange song was nice. Are they worth looking into? I like the lyrics you posted. They have meaning to you because of the tinnitus and hearing loss? Staying with a backwoods feel. This is a cover of a Fleet Foxes song. These girls are sisters I think. It's said that no harmonizing sounds as good as DNA harmonizing. The lyrics remind me of my longing to hike again. How I've lost touch with nature because of MM. Seeking answers from "experts" (shadowy figures indeed!) and only receiving misleading clues. My fear of growing bitter and alone and turning to drink again. Through the forest Down to your grave Where the birds wait And the tall grasses wave They do not Know you anymore Dear shadow alive and well How can the body die You tell me everything Anything True In the town one morning I went Staggering through premonitions of my death I don't see anybody that dear to me I don't know what I have done I'm turning myself to a demon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMrqBldlqzA
No. That song is just...all I could think about is the recent article I read about Frankie Lymon. When that child’s voice breaks, I doubt the harmonizing will go well. Pupper, you know people here care about you, myself included. If I don’t get to turn bitter, and start drinking, you sure as h@ll aren’t allowed. This is me giving you a boot to the head, love. :-* Pupper, mbg! Could you maybe switch genres, talk about different instruments, ANYTHING? I do believe it might be in order...and with that I give you: Florence + The Machine~You’ve Got the Love https://youtu.be/PQZhN65vq9E
Pup, nice link. Fleet Foxes is cool, I have a bit of their stuff but it doesn't get the rotation it deserves. I was introduced to Mandolin Orange last year at Merlefest which my wife and I volunteer photograph in exchange for all access backstage passes. They blew me away with their songwriting, harmonies and just general feel. Check out the Blindfaller and This Side of Jordan albums. Fall- Florence and the Machine is a good band, she has an amazing voice, but unfortunately my job ruined them for me with their incessant repeated play of "Dog Days".
One of my favorite top 10 favorite live performances. For some weird reason I feel as though he's channeling Elvis here. Like, a spiritual passing of the batton. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utVR3EgQkHs
Classic performance. My fondest memories of Bruce are riding up to Illinois with my mom circa 1986, or whenever Born In The USA came out. Cruising in the 1973 VW Bus with the 8 track blasting through 4 inch paper speakers and the windows down. Not a care in the world.
They were more beatniks than anything. My grandfather was an early adopter of the VW, well before they were adopted by the hippie crowd. I guess the sentiment was passed down to my dad.
As the girls have grown up they've actually become quite the sensation. Leaving Emmylou in tears. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3TzP-o4vhs Rendering Paul Simon apparently petrified. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBwKp6QhIvE
I really like this sound, though I can’t indentify everything I’m hearing. Even the lyrics are intriguing I know little to nothing about trip hop, but this seems really calm compared to some of the other songs you’ve posted, Nathan. I didn’t know trip hop could be soothing? Maybe I might get some sleep if I listen to this...
Feeling retrospective today. Laura Hand and Jann Arden do good covers of this song. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iepedfdjA80
Boy, can I ever relate to that ugly duckling part. I just didn’t look right, for lack of better way of putting it, until the last decade. (Yes, weird, but true.) Mel, my loving mother was so concerned I wouldn’t get a date to the prom, and thus look bad, that I went to three. My husband’s known me his entire life. He didn’t, “notice” me until ten years ago. When I’ve asked him why he responds, “because you weren’t hot!” He’s not joking. On the plus side, I give him hell about it now, but it does hurt when you’ve experienced it, as you know it’s true, if you’re a realist...which I am. I guess I could hold it against him, but it’s human nature. People notice aesthetics, right or wrong. ::wait, on second thought going to chew him out now:: j/k
Mel the following has nothing to do with you. I realize you just presented the song And I love the song. Whoever made the video should be hung. The song is about being a lonely ugly duckling. So the videomaker pairs it with a beautiful girl. Totally missing the spirit of the song. It's like making a video about a song named "I Wish I Wasn't So Shy" and casting Jim Carrey. Some things you just can't mix. Like Rod Stewart singing "Some Guys Have All the Luck." OK, whatever you say, luckiest man on Earth. And I hate how Pink always tries to act like she's just another homely girl. She loves to write lyrics about how she's "Not like those pretty girls." Who do you think you're fooling lady? WE CAN SEE YOU. I love both the above artists, but gotta call BS on BS.
Never thought of that Pupper. I suppose until you understand that people can be made to feel unattractive even when they’re really not, you won’t get that aspect of the song. Beauty is subjective. I couldn’t begin to get inside Pink’s head to know why she writes those songs. I wonder if she was made to feel ugly/worthless/unloveable so that when she looks in the mirror she doesn’t see what you see when you look at her. I dunno. I can relate to those lyrics and I'm not considered ugly by most who know me. Autumn, I have no words! Long after looks fade relationships that are built on the beauty that is inside of us will be the ones that last. Give him hell from me, too!
Been listening to a lot of drummers lately. Here's one of my favorites this might only appeal to Pupper but *his inbox is full* So I'll leave it here.. https://youtu.be/w7WcY7RKKoI
