Metaphorical as it may be, it is something to think about. ;) :eyebrows:
I had the class again today and here are two parts I enjoyed tremendously.Quote:

Listen to soprano Kathleen Battle from 46:00 – 47:43 and the chorus starting at 58:33.
Wow!

Very enjoyable music based on medieval poems. Thanks for posting!Quote:

In addition to the music appreciation class I'm taking, I'm signed up for a dance lesson at a studio near where I live. I'll be learning Swing, the Hustle, and Foxtrot.
One of my all-time favorite dance songs is "Sing, Sing, Sing."

Love to dance! My parents did ballroom dancing and had the time of their lives.
Given that our Sister Elen likes classical music, I would like to share these two old but excellent pieces of symphonic rock from my teenage years here, by a Dutch band called Kayak. Hopefully our Dutch members will stumble upon this thread as well, because this was one of the Netherlands' finest bands. ;)
Jeff Beck, performing his wonderful "Cause We've Ended As Lovers" — from his critically acclaimed 1975 album, "Blow By Blow" — in a slightly updated version at the 2007 Crossroads Festival.
The young girl playing bass guitar in the above video and being cheered upon by Jeff Beck is the then only 20-year-old and extremely talented Tal Wilkenfeld, who aside from touring with Jeff Beck has also performed live with Herbie Hancock, as well as that she played bass on the "6 String Theory" album by Lee Ritenour.
Meanwhile Tal has also already recorded several albums of her own — usually in the jazz-fusion genre — but more recently she has picked up a more alternative, folk-like style, in which she herself also takes care of the lead vocals. A sample of that here-below. ;)
Even though this song was actually about Ronald Reagan, the lyrics seem very appropriate for our time as well... ;)
And this one below harmonizes very well with our brother Aianawa's favorite words, "Know Thyself". ;)
An oldie but a goodie. ;) They came out of nothing, had a few hits, and then they suddenly disappeared again. And yet they had all it takes: great lyrics, great music and great voices. Hmm, maybe they weren't willing to play the game of the music industry? :hmm:
This here is a song that I held onto back when I was going through a very hard time due to my family severely taking advantage of me. It was a long time ago — i.e. the late 1990s — and meanwhile, the creases have been ironed out and forgiveness has been granted, but it was nevertheless a heartbreaking situation, and I eventually had to walk away from it all in order to maintain my sanity. It's a long story, but I think I've already told my homies in the mod room.
Note: You'll have to turn up the volume a bit and be patient with this one, because it starts out with about half a minute's worth of "background noise", and then the music slowly fades in.

Let's talk about me for a minute
Well how do you think
I feel about what's been going on
Let's talk about me for a minute
Well how do you think
I feel about what's gone wrong
Let's talk about dreams
I never learned to read the signs
Let's think about what it all means
I never seem to have the time
Let's talk about you and your problems
All that I seem to do is spend the night
Just talking 'bout you and your problems
No matter what I say I can't get it right
Don't think about dreams
Is it all a waste of time
Don't think about what it all means
If you are a friend of mine
Talk about me, for a minute
I'm the one who's losing
Talk about me, for a minute
I'm the one who's always losing out
And how do you think
I feel about what's been going on
Let's talk about me for a minute
Well how do you think
I feel about what's gone wrong
Let's think about dreams
We never seem to have the time
Let's talk about what it all means
If you are a friend of mine
Let's talk about me
I'm the one who's losing out
I'm the one who's losing out
I'm the one who's losing out, losing out
Talk about me, for a minute
I'm the one who's losing
Talk about me, for a minute
I'm the one who's always losing out
We saw this young woman perform on Saturday. :omg: I'm in love with this voice.
