What music are you listening to atm?

[CeeCee]

Just watching the Jonathan Ross show - because Suede are going to be on (happy) Here's one of my favourite tracks of theirs...


http://youtu.be/gLnc4RZLDDU

[Alonso]

"Right from the start...You were a thief" by Pink. One of my favorite...the beauty of this song is in its romantic simplicity...love it!!!

[knowlesy]

Like raise your glass by Pink- good positive message (nod)

[amaeru]

I like 'Perfect' xx

[Suzi]

OMG I love Pink! Well I did, up until I had 2 princesses who love Pink too and have her playing on their MP3 players singing along loudly - but both to different songs!

I've had several Pink songs round my head for several days.... We so wanted to take the girls to her gig in London, but we just couldn't afford it no matter how much they'd love it, and they would and so would I!

[knowlesy]

Shes had a tough life but has fought her way through (punch)

[Suzi]

And as I've defended the fact that my girls listen to her music and sing along I'd far rather they had a role model who promoted that it was OK to be different and be yourself and that you are perfect just as you are rather than rihanna (yuk yuk yuk) who promotes nothing good and only teaches that you have to strip and sell sex to get anywhere...

[knowlesy]

Well put :8)

[Squishymama]

I have been listening to The Saturdays a lot of late.

[Jarre]

Friend of mine and her gf went to see Pink in Dublin and then birmingham 4 days later she thoroughly enjoyed both gigs.

Some music now......

Impressed? You really really should be. He has an amazing talent! (and I'm qualified to make that judgement too! :) ) Really he is brilliant, please please please tell him to sing more as he has a great voice!!!!!! Tell him to get out of the bathroom and get out there so others get to hear him too!

[CeeCee]

Thank you, Suzi (blush) He plays at school a fair bit, but I agree - he needs to get out there. Just wish I knew how to support him!

[Suzi]

Try to get him to join choirs - it'll help so much with breathing... Is he going to college? Would be well worth finding out what kind of activities there are... Most importantly, tell him how proud you are! Get him to post more stuff on youtube and I'll share links ;)

Lol.. My taste in music is certainly ecclectic! My Collection ranges from Madame Butterfly (arguably the best version ever recorded) to Nine Inch Nails with everything in the middle. I love music of nearly every genre - although I'm not a massive fan of dance or acid jazz...

I have been to see les miss, But Deep purple is my favorite. Been to see Queen a few times and Quo.
I'm a bit of a rocker.

I used to be married to a pop musician. Went all over the place with him and the band he was in. Knew all the words to all the songs, helped write a few as well. Now I have trouble if music is a bit too loud. I now only listen to voices. TV on all day, muttering in the corner of the room..keeps me company when I am home..it is gently chattering away behind me at the moment. I like peace and quiet but that is different to deadly quiet and alone. I've rambled again I guess this should be another thread...DUH I'll send it anyway...
take care all,

I don't really want to bring the mood down, so if you're feeling a little vulnerable at the moment, I suggest you don't listen to this track. That said, it's a beautiful piece of music that I've known for many years. It was running through my head today (for obvious reasons, if you've read what's been going on in my life recently), so I just wanted to share...


http://youtu.be/106cf2DFqJM

[Four Candles]

I just listened to a self-created mix, derived from clicking "play" on every embedded video on the page above. With the benefit of hindsight, I can declare with confidence that it won't be catching on and was, by my own estimation, a bloody awful racket.

But before that, a song called Shrinking Violet by a band called Mostly Autumn. I imagine few people will have heard of them. They're a folk/progessive rock band from York, classic British rock that's so classic even the CDs should be sepia tinted. Enthusiastic, numerous lineup changes, more drummers than Spinal Tap... to many the antithesis of cool and to others completely endearing. Just hear it out and listen to the words.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvjOhVsIG_g&list=LLCHPtojw4OAkk-MQkGZYsQg

[Four Candles]

There's a bloke called Steven Wilson. Some people might know of him from his solo albums and bands such as Porcupine Tree and Blackfield. There's a few other groups he's been involved with. I believe No-Man was the first of these act, and it included himself and a guy called Tim Bowness. A rotating cast of whoever did what they needed completed the lineup. They hardly ever do live shows, and usually in fairly small premises.

A few years ago, I bought the first No-Man album, Speak, and to be honest it left me cold for quite a while. However, it pushes its way back onto my playlist when working from home (I do this occasionally). When they released Schoolyard Ghosts a few years ago (2008?) it got positive reviews. YouTube and the sound samples on Amazon are good methods of finding out what you're getting in advance, and I gave them another go. It's a great studio album, but I couldn't help but wonder over the reason that they didn't appear live. However, my wife then gave me the live Love and Endings CD/DVD set last Christmas, recording sections from one of their occasional live appearances at Leamington Spa in 2011. Admittedly, there's always production on live albums that renders a lot of them pseudo-live, but there's been a lot of thought (and not a massive budget) put into this. My only criticism is that the CD is a bit quiet to be heard over the noise from my very basic car.

Disappointingly, the band has been put on indefinite hold as Steven Wilson's schedule is too full. So, after finding out that there was a live act I should have had more faith in than I did, it looks like I'll never get the chance to see it. Not that I'm a great fan of crowds.

A link to the song I listen to most days, one that received one of the lighter makeovers, called Wherever There Is Light:

I'm rather loving Imagine Dragons atm.. This one has amazing lyrics:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bn7eYibzmTs

Imagine Dragons - Nothing Left To Say / Rocks LyricsCustomize :





Who knows how long I've been awake now
The shadows on my walls don't sleep
They keep calling me
Beckoning, beckoning, beckoning

Who knows whats right
The lines keep getting thinner
My age has never made me wise
But I keep pushing on and on and on and on

There's nothing left to say now
There's nothing left to say now
Give it up, give it up now
Give it up, give it up now

There's nothing left to say now
There's nothing left to say now
Give it up, give it up now
Give it up, give it up now

Below my soul I feel an engine
Collapsing as it sees the pain
If I could only shut it out

I've come too far to see the end now
Even if my way is wrong
I keep pushing on and on and on

There's nothing left to say now
There's nothing left to say now
Give it up, give it up now
Give it up, give it up now

There's nothing left to say now
There's nothing left to say now
Give it up, give it up now
Give it up, give it up now

I keep falling, I keep falling down
I keep falling, I keep falling down
hey
I keep falling, I keep falling down
I keep falling, I keep falling down

If you could only save me,
I'm drowning and the waters of my soul

There's nothing left to say now
There's nothing left to say now
Give it up, give it up now
Give it up, give it up now

There's nothing left to say now
There's nothing left to say now
Give it up, give it up now
Give it up, give it up now

(instrumental interlude/end song, silence, start ghost track: "Rocks")

Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
I threw some rocks up at your window
I broke some rocks right through your window

Timber! Timber! We're falling down
Let the forest hear our sound
ooma ooma oom
Why cant i see whats right infront of me

We fall, we fall
We fall, we fall down
We fall, we fall down
We fall, we fall down

Mostly Autumn. A band I love and few people ever seem to have heard of. The first is a song called Evergreen, from their last live performance with female lead vocalist Heather Findlay and the second is Hold The Sun, sung by her replacement Olivia Sparnenn. You'll either love them or you won't. I'd describe them as enthusiastic, ambitious and quite endearing.

[Four Candles]

I didn't think this one was still on YouTube. Listened to it in the car on the way home today.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28kkc1q87o8

Mostly Autumn again. The song, The Gap Is Too Wide, is in memory of keyboard player Iain Jennings' mother.

Seven piece band, string quartet, choir, piper... Mostly Autumn at their ever so slightly ambitious best. Nicely low key I think :)

Listen to this song and tell me it the best song EVER!!
Meat loaf its all coming back to me now.

The original version.

[AnimamAmisit]

Love Meatloaf!!!

I'm listening to the bang, crash, bang of Call of Duty. Cheers partner! I love you - but turn the blinking sound down. I'm trying to procrastinate quietly (when I should be working) lol

[Pen]

Oh yes... Although I would probably vote for Bat out of Hell. I have been a huge ML fan for years. When I was pregnant with my daughter I was on the road quite a bit and I would drive up and down the motorway with ML at high volume. Years later and my daughter is also a huge ML fan, so the in womb training worked! Have you ever seen Steve Steinman's Vampire Rock? A musical using the ML songs. It comes to WSM every year and for a few years it became a tradition that me and my daughter would go and see it.

I go through Meat Loaf phases. :)

Some randomness. First, Bluehorses. Sadly, now "retired". Their stock-in-trade was taking traditional folk songs and "rearranging" then in a manner that rendered them... something else.

One live: http://youtu.be/TxlLmxxS9mc
One studio recording played over film: http://youtu.be/qgQz5N4orhM

Second, a long-time favourite of mine since childhood: Chris Rea.
http://youtu.be/BC7mgM4uhn8
A track called Thinking Of You, a live performance that sounds only lightly "produced". Shows off what's great about him: limited performance apart from singing and playing blues-style slide guitar, but no need for anything else apart from the band on stage with him.
http://youtu.be/QJ5KNnHECjY
Ain't Going Down This Way, from Dancing Down The Stony Road, after a period in his life that gave him every right to sing the blues. I was off long-term sick at the time, and this song plus another, Burning Feet (http://youtu.be/xYmKLtvhP7I), carry a personal meaning for me from that time.

Finally, anyone else remember this from the seventies?

Northern lights. Blimey, that brings back some memories.
Sort of reminds me of Gordon Giltrap.

[purplefan]

Bit of useless information.

Bad for good was meant to be the follow up to Bat out of hell.
But meat had lost his voice and was heavy into drugs. So
Jim steinman released it as his solo album and meat loaf finally got his voice back for
The Dead ringer album.

This song is from the bad or good album. Featuring the fantastic vocals of Karla Devito. The lady who sung on Bat.
It has to be the weirdest video i've seen.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpxwaipS0aw

Dance in my pants. Jim steinman and karla devito.

I was going to change this but i meant on the Bat out of hell tour.
It was Ellen Foley who sung on the album. oops. sorry.

[Four Candles]

Northern lights. Blimey, that brings back some memories.
Sort of reminds me of Gordon Giltrap.

I love Annie Haslam's voice, although I was an adult before I actually bought a Renaissance album.

Gordon Giltrap is the sort of person who... I had to look him up but I hear the song and if I were to have asked what it was... then realise that somewhere on the edge of my memory... can't put a name to the person but... is that him?

From Renaissance and Annie Haslam to a more recent group, less well known than they should have been and who have taken splitting up to another level. Karnataka started as a predominantly Welsh rock band and had started gaining some following by the time they released their third album in 2003. I don't think that album, Delicate Flame of Desire, has all that great a title, but the content is outstanding. To me, the vocals (Rachel Jones, now Rachel Cohen) are very Annie Haslam and the guitar (Paul Davies) has tones of Steve Rothery in post-Fish era Marillion. The song Time Stands Still (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YifgGBPAbgw) is the first full track on the album. Outwardly, it sounds positive and uplifting, but the words are a striking contrast. In various parts of the song: Everything seems out of place and it's so very cold... My dreams turn to dust... I'm so very tired. Something sounds wrong, every song seems to ask a question and the band broke up not long after, as did the marriage of the singer and bassist.

The whole album has been uploaded at the place I've linked to and I recommend you at least give the tracks Delicate Flame of Desire, Strange Behaviour and Out of Reach a listen.

The various members have all moved on to other projects and Karnataka is currently in its third or fourth incarnation (only the bassist is the same).

In case anyone wonders what Steve Rothery of Marillion sounds like (and you are not allowed to admit that you didn't!), listen to a selection of guitar solos via this link (http://youtu.be/cvaDNgQB6oo).

And to whoever fed the hedgehog jumping beans (hedgehog) will you please stop, it isn't fair.

[Four Candles]

Bad for Good was one of the first CDs I bought when I got my first CD player (actually a 4x speed CD-ROM drive on my old 486 PC, purchased for an astronomical sum during the first week that quad speed drives became available). I got it as part of a batch containing a Heart's Bad Animals, a Carly Simon CD, Whitesnake's 1987, a Dire Straits "best of" and a few others I can't remember because I've got nearly 500 albums according to my PC's catalogue and I can't recall where every last one came from.

[purplefan]

It is a shame that those albums are now consigned to the bargain bucket of life.
Kids today should be made to listen to them so they can appreciate what good music is like.
Bloody milie syrus and one direction. No wonder kids are growing up with real social problems.

There's loads of good current stuff that is of great quality. Have a listen to tracks from john Newman album called tribute. There's some amazing tracks on it and his voice is amazing.

Just watched the musical Evita again for the errrr cant remember how many times, just love those songs. Even sadder is that my daughter and I know all the words to the whole film and sing along. Good job there is only the animals to hear us.

Pen, i went to see the original Evita at the Prince Edward Theater it starred Elaine Paige and David Essex.
magical musical. I have the sound track and i watched the madonna film a few years ago, but sorry Elaine Paige
was much better.

An old hendrix song Little Wing, layed by Eric Clapton and steve Winwood, I like the lyrics to this....

Well she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running round
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams and fairy tales
That's all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind.

When I'm sad, she comes to me
With a thousand smiles, she gives to me free
It's alright she says it's alright
Take anything you want from me,
Anything.

Fly on little wing,
Yeah yeah, yeah, little wing

Offer accepted on our house and offer accepted on purchase of new property. A new start s needed: this downsizing and relocation is a step away from a life I don't really want, and never really wanted in the first place. By complete coincidence, I found myself listening to Peter Gabriel's Solsbury Hill. I've loved that song since it was released in the late seventies; it seems as if it's never not been there. And the theme - breaking free - just seems so appropriate given current ambitions.

Script for a jesters tear here I come

[purplefan]

I still listen to script. It was a great album cover.
So here i am once more; in the playground of the broken hearts.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RThsZPlOy-0

[Four Candles]

Now... without looking it up...
One more experience one more entry in the diaries of pain
Yet another emotional suicide
Overdosed on sentiment and pride
Too late to say I love you
Too late to re-stage the play
Abandoning the relics in my playground of yesterday.

I think there's a few words wrong but I'm quite close and I'm gonna stop there. Fish-era albums are hard to split down, as is Brave from the Hogarth era. The Fish era album that comes out most frequently is Clutching at Straws, probably followed by the solo album Raingods with Zippos. That's a hidden masterpiece.

But now you've started me. Fish did a recent tour that I very nearly shrugged off by sloth to see. There are some Youtube clips of him in recent performances and the bloke can still hold an audience very well. OK, the voice isn't always spot-on, but I always thought that he was more about timing than anything else. The main thing that really grabs attention is the talking between the songs. Like these:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9GDAb3irw8

That's a real performer. You don't get this any more.

I am trying to think of a Fish song that he released after marillion.
I think it was about docks closing down or something like that.

Ohh wow Script for a Jesters Tear! Love love love Marrillion and Fish.
