    Me, too!

    What a beautiful outpouring of emotion at the end of the video.

    I remember you posted this song once, maybe for the staff or your wife or something, and I thought it was just wonderful. Here it is again...

    Metaphorical as it may be, it is something to think about.

    I had the class again today and here are two parts I enjoyed tremendously.

    They’re from a vocal composition Carmina Burana by Carl Orff.

    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!

    Not that there's anything wrong with the above, but just so as to get back to a somewhat more modern groove, this here was one of the hits at the discotheques back when DJs were still playing records made by actual musicians, rather than by kids with a PC featuring music editing software...

    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?

    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. I'm in love with this voice.
