Skinny Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Not sure if that's the right term or not, but what are your favorite songs that start slow and quiet and build over the duration of the song? My favorite has got to be this particular live version of "I'm So Afraid" by Fleetwood Mac in 1980. Never fails to give me goosebumps and damn near brings me to another plane, so to speak. 2 Quote Stuff and things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotKeys Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins definitely has this feeling, especially live versions of the song. 2 Quote Instruments: Walters Grand Console Upright Piano circa 1950 something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyRude Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 On the Fleetwood Mac song, for a "pop" band, you have to have a lot of discipline to write/perform something like that, might be considered ponderous. Thinking back to that time, FM was huge, they had some of the biggest selling records, huge stadium tours, I guess they could take chances like this. I actually think I saw them on this tour, and saw them perform this. Your post reminded me of this song Quote Some music I've recorded and played over the years with a few different bands Tommy Rude Soundcloud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoken6 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Al Green’s Let’s Stay Together. Who was it who said “Let’s Stay Together” is the basically same song as “Try A Little Tenderness” - they both represent an orgasm via the medium of music. The difference is that Al Green buys her dinner first… Cheers, Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
