Love the Lobos, as you know I'm a big fan, a feature at this year's Xmas Jam...with Jackie Green & Warren Haynes...again, outstanding. 12/10/11 Xmas Jam, ACC, Asheville, NC
It was 1990, give or take, I don't remember When the news of revolution hit the air The girls hadn't even started taking down our posters When the boys started cutting off their hair
The radio stations all decided angst was finally old enough It ought to have a proper home Dead, fat, or rich, nobody�s left to #%&*$# About the goings on in self destructive zones
In honor of the Final Four NCAA basketball tourney being played tonight - Go Buckeye's!!!!!!! I though Cheech & Chong's Basketball Jones* would be appropriate!
* nice session players too: George Harrison (guitar), Ronnie Spector (vocals), Klaus Voormann (bass), Carole King & Nicky Hopkins (piano), Billy Preston (organ), and others
Loving the Tull Piper, agree that 'Benefit' is brilliant, but it depends on mood which I think is their best record at a given time. Its all good.
Warning : Bat sh*t crazy French Genius alert Don't care what anyone says, in my considered opinion this is one of the greatest love songs of all time lol. Sebastian Tellier with 'La Ritournelle'.
He's mixing funk driven break beats with glocks, epic strings and lovely piano riffs. It shouldn't work. But it does, because he's a mad French Genius.
Heres the lyrics, which admittedly initially look sh*t (on paper/screen at least)....Until you actually hear him sing them and realise that because he is French he can get away with it and they might be one of the most beautifully profound things you have ever heard. Oh nothing's going to change my love for you I wanna spend my life with you So we make love on the grass under the moon No one call tell, damned if I do Forever journey on golden avenues I drift in your eyes since I love you I got that beat in my veins my only rule Love is to share, mine is for you
Love it, man. I know that being English I'm supposed to hate the French (lol), and for a laugh I often pretend to; but the truth is I admire their creativity and je ne sais quoi greatly. Hes amusing (and great) live too, frequently has mini breakdowns on stage when he's not 'feeling' the muse, or something is allegedly 'wrong' with the 'vibes' lol. True Artist. Tres Bon. Tres Bon.
One of my favourite Dylan Songs of all time, sung by in my opinion one the most beautiful, lovely voices of all time. Takes me away. Nanci Griffith giving some homage to Mr Robert Zimmermans "Boots of Spanish Leather".
I might have posted this before. It might well deserve to be posted again. I'll let you be the judge of that.
This thread has a proud tradition of Musical excellence, somewhat besmirched by the recent addition of Barry Manilow...For which I hold mineself entirely to blame. *Heheheh*
So, let us continue then. Unto broad, sunlit uplands.
Play it again, Sam. Thing is, I think some folk might have missed it. Do yer ears a favour, strap the headphones on, and rejoice. Yer lugs will thank thee. I cannot emphasise this enough.
Looking out from underneath, Fractured moonlight on the sea Reflections still look the same to me, As before I went under.
And it's peaceful in the deep, Cathedral where you cannot breathe, No need to pray, no need to speak Now I am under.
And it's breaking over me, A thousand miles onto the sea bed, Found the place to rest my head.
Never let me go, never let me go. Never let me go, never let me go.
And the arms of the ocean are carrying me, And all this devotion was rushing out of me, And the crashes are heaven, for a sinner like me, The arms of the ocean deliver me.
Though the pressure's hard to take, It's the only way I can escape, It seems a heavy choice to make, Now I am under.
And it's breaking over me, A thousand miles down to the sea bed, Found the place to rest my head.
Never let me go, never let me go. Never let me go, never let me go. And the arms of the ocean are carrying me, And all this devotion was rushing out of me, And the crashes are heaven, for a sinner like me, The arms of the ocean deliver me.
And it's over, And I'm going under, But I'm not giving up! I'm just giving in.
Oh, slipping underneath. Oh, so cold, but so sweet.
In the arms of the ocean, so sweet and so cold, And all this devotion I never knew at all, And the crashes are Heaven, for a sinner released, And the arms of the ocean, Deliver me.
Never let me go, never let me go. Never let me go, never let me go.
Deliver me.
Never let me go, never let me go. Never let me go, never let me go.
I heard this song on the radio this morning, and for some reason liked it more this time than when I'd heard it before. I decided to do a search for it and found this video of it. It's the acoustic version, but it's pretty similar to the studio version Anna Nalick is the singer - not too hard on the eyes, either:

Early Verve before big US radio hits. Always liked them.
Yay! Posted a few of their tunes in this thread Kontakt, great band. I like the earlier stuff the most too, 'A Storm in Heaven' was their best album by far IMO. Great live too, saw them at Newcastle Riverside (a very small, intimate venue) before they went massive and it was a great gig. Also when they supported the Smashing Pumpkins at Newcastle Mayfair before it closed down. Happy days.
This is 'Gravity Grave' from the 'Verve' EP. I still have this on limited edition 12" pink vinyl hehe. A track called 'A Man called Sun' is very good, too.
Get Back, get back again and again I've been here since I can remember when My life is a boat, being blown by you With nothing ahead, just the deepest blue...
To me you're like a setting sun You rise then you're gone To me you're like a setting sun You rise then you're gone
Come back, come back again and again, I've been here since I can remember when The world just spins whilst mine stands still Nothing's changed in your gravity grave
To me you're like a setting sun You rise then you're gone To me you're like a setting sun You shine then you're gone
To me you're like a setting sun You shine then you're gone To me you're like a setting sun You shine then you're gone Go down on your light So bright it burns my eyes Sounds like a perfect way To end my life To me you're like a setting sun... To me you're like a setting sun...

Nice Ken! I posted her song awhile back, but reallllly like the acoustic version.
