dansouth Posted May 25, 2001 Share Posted May 25, 2001 I forgot one of my all time favorites - Walking In Memphis by Marc Cohn. Honorable mention: It's not a song, but the soundtrack to Romeo Is Bleeding puts me on an emotional roller coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faruk Posted May 27, 2001 Share Posted May 27, 2001 Sigh. If I start I dont know where will I end. You know guys, I`m very emotionaly tied to music, allmost every song I hear starts something in me, but I`ll give it a try and choose something. Lovesong bu Cure - it`s just great love song Mama by Genesis - mama, oh mama Sky by Faith No More - I adore it Sign your name by Terennce Trent D`Arby Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits - It was my unit`s favourite during the war Father Figure by George Michael I guess it`s enough for now. If I remember anything else I`ll get back to this. Faruk Fat But Fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucktunes Posted May 28, 2001 Share Posted May 28, 2001 I resisted bringing this up at first because it's such a downer, but this is the perfect thread for it, so here goes; Saturday (5/26) was my son Joel's birthday. He would have been 7 this year, but unfortunately we lost him to SIDS when he was just 10 months old. At his memorial Eric Clapton's "Tears In Heaven" was playing and I knew how Eric felt when he was writing it. A more heartfelt song I've never heard. Here in Vegas I occasionally get requests to play it, and to this day, I can hardly play it (much less sing it) without choking up a bit. Happy birthday, Joel! Miss ya, buddy... Before I kill this thread, I guess I'd better throw in a few happy notes. http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif Rosanna by Toto-just try to sit still listening to this one! Celebration by Kool and the Gang-ditto Breakfast At Igor's by Spyro Gyra (the live version)-ditto again Out Of Town by the Yellowjackets- I actually got a speeding ticket once while listening to this one as I was cruising down the freeway!

Mike Martin Posted May 30, 2001 Share Posted May 30, 2001 One of the most amazing CD's I've heard in a long time is a rock opera called "The Shaming of the True" by Kevin Gilbert. This work was finished and released by his friends after his untimely death. I really don't have the words to describe this CD. But if you ever get the chance, get the CD, sit down and listen to it from beginning to end uninterrupted.

sign Posted May 30, 2001 Share Posted May 30, 2001 "The Gates of Delirium" from "Relayer" by "Yes" It's a 21:50 minute piece of great music. A small part of the lyrics: Listen should we fight forever Knowing as we do know Fear destroys Listen should we leave our children Listen our lives stare in silence Help us now This music is the ultimate music for me, done in 1974. Peace to you all. The alchemy of the masters moving molecules of air, we capture by moving particles of iron, so that the poetry of the ancients will echo into the future.

KidCharlemagne Posted May 31, 2001 Share Posted May 31, 2001 takin it to the streets always got me where i live. "you don't know me but i'm your brother, you will find me everywhere." so much of what's happening these days seems to be about forgetting our fellow man. for me, growing up poor, but rich in love and community, something in that tune spoke to me. now i'm affluent, and rich in love and community, but still feel that tune. plus, such a great groove with beautiful changes. tears in heaven makes me cry. steve, a prayer for you and your family. my greatest fears are all about my children. i think this is a good place to say that i think procul harum's whiter shade of pale is a really great lyric and haunting melody even though i have no idea what it means. and i have been remembering recently that some of the most beatiful music in the world is the four last songs of richard strauss. used to listen to it every day. also like to mention la boheme, the third act. adio, senza rancor. ahh, yes, love through TB. and one last one, the music from the movie Diva, in particular the aria. somebody help my lousy memory. french composer. not a big opera composer, but this aria is gorgeous. i can hear the opening melody, descending line, sumptuous song. soaring climax. wicked good movie too, if you haven't seen it. it's tempting here to describe performances of music i otherwise wouldn't know. Dutoit conducting the Montreal S.O. in a Boulez tribute. the orchestra sitting in a huge circle in Boston's Symphony Hall. hard to describe. Horowitz at symphony hall for what was the last time. very touching. hearing levine conducting in new york. but i'm getting boring i imagine, so i'll quit.

humannoyed Posted May 31, 2001 Share Posted May 31, 2001 Okay I'll post on this one too: "Someday We'll All Be Free" by Donny Hathaway- a wonderful song by an incredible singer "Quiet City" by Aaron Copland- not the Marsalis version, the "Copland Conducts Copland" version is much better. This piece will grow on you. Great!! "Pavane" by Maurice Ravel I know soon as a click "submit reply" I'll think of several others. hum "It is a danger to create something and risk rejection. It is a greater danger to create nothing and allow mediocrity to rule." "You owe it to us all to get on with what you're good at." W.H.

BillW Posted June 2, 2001 Share Posted June 2, 2001 Took awhile to narrow this down to a coherent list, so here goes: "Watercolour Ponies", "A Place For You" and "Blessed Are", all recorded by Wayne Watson. (Read the thread on what we're listening to and you'll know who he is.....). Wonderful songs about children and the less fortunate that are powerfully recorded. Amy Grant's "Heirlooms" started as a Christmas song, but goes way past December. And the vocal part is in my range. I wanna sing this with the St. Louis Symphony and Michael W. Smith on piano before I die... Aaron Copland's "Appalachian Spring" continues to amaze me, but then I'm easily impressed....Mr. C.'s own recording from 1959, remastered by BMG, is still the best I've heard. Liz Story's "Things With Wings" is the most fun you can legally have with a piano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennis122761 Posted June 3, 2001 Share Posted June 3, 2001 Any song by my band Drastic: Way Back Home, 6 ft. Under 'Til Death Do Us Part The Edge of the Knife 'Death Takes No Holidays Lady in Funeral Black These are some of our more uplifting songs(not death metal, just heavy, hard rock). All were written for all of the friends that we once knew: dead or alive, imprisoned or not. Sometimes, reality sucks. I've lost a brother and two High School friends in 1983 in Michigan, two days after I returned from a combat tour(Operation Urgent Fury)in Grenada with the 82nd ABN DIV. That's irony. I guess it's just good to have a night or two out with the boys in the band to jam. May not make much money, nor have any claim to fame, except locally, but our second album is in the works. Not bad for a second or third hobby, other than replacing Alesis gear that craps out(just kidding) One of the unmentioned trolls in the 3 Billy Goats Gruff: dennis122761 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realtrance Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 Like many here, the list's _way_ too long to even begin, so just off the top of my heart at the moment: 1. B.B. King's "Live in Cook County Jail." Have it on LP, it was scritchy-scratchy when I bought it new when it came out, is scritchy-scratchy still, is "there" like few other recordings I have, of any sort. 2. Schubert's "Winterreise," specifically with Fischer-Dieskau (sp?) singing. Hope that recording is still available in some form. 3. Herbie Hancock, "Sextant" -- "Head Hunters" was the break-out, of course, in '73, got that first but then a friend suggested the one before... just amazing, jazz at the crossroads. When I heard this I thought the future might actually happen some day. Still waiting. 4. The Tractors, "Fast Girl" -- but that's just for personal reasons... I guess. I think it's really great, though! 5. Lou Reed, "Ecstasy" -- like others above, he's done a lot of stuff, and there's a lot of other rock around, but this, for me, is the quintessential electric guitar album. Love for that sound and you can hear it in every song. Then, about a MILLION others.... rt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
