Having laid claim to my rightful territory, in memoriam of my former flights and fights:

"Sing Another Song Boys" by Leonard Cohen

In apologetic admittance of certain habits and a chauvinist display of my apparent superiority, I give you:

"I'll Keep It With Mine" by Fairport Convention

For love and solidarity:

"Song to the Siren" by Tim Buckley

In lieu of my imaginary wife, I bring to The Philosophy Forum this cover by Galaxie 500:

"Don't Let Our Youth Go to Waste"

I don't just contemplate what good music is; I make the decisions to ensure its survival. Recently, I purchased a t-shirt on Etsy for the Factory single of New Order's "Ceremony". What I have to say of this is that you just don't want to be "hip" enough to wear it.

I will, though, and, in good time, we'll all be ready for whatever to come to an end. I have nothing else to say for now; only that there is hope for us still.

Blegh. It's somewhat lost in Australia.

Here's low talk:

"When All Eyes Were On Us" by low talk

It just breaks my fucking heart that you don't think that "Song to the Siren" is the closer, though.

You follow it with songs, man, but where it leads to is here:

And he died - 8th December, 1980.
Imagine him laying bear his thoughts on creativity, life and changing priorities, his pain, his joy.
'Creating is the joy'.

How after 6 hrs of trying to write a song, he lay down exhausted, giving up.
Then, it 'came to him', he picked up a guitar and it came out whole...

Thanks @180 Proof :flower: :sparkle:

Last week's Let It Be selections :point: Today (19.10.21) I've been listening to new re-mixed version so I'll post some of the de-Spector-ized tracks. The only one I couldn't find yet online with nearly CD quality was "Get Back" (Lennon's guitar solos are lost in the stereo separation (I guess) from the upload compared to the expressive clarity on the CD remix – too bad really because I'd like to celebrate the song here which I've never cared much for that now to my ear sounds much improved by this remix and a more soulful rocker.)

Oh, dirty Maggie Mae

That dirty, no good, robbin'

:up: :cool:


NB: While this 2021 remix of "The Long and Winding Road" really does improve its listening pleasure, I just couldn't be bothered posting a link to the song after hearing how streaming it online does not do justice to listening to it on the new "Super Deluxe" CD.

Just love this. Much clearer. Smooth and less jarring sound :cool:
'Let it Be' is in a class of its own :sparkle:
Enjoyed the other selections. Thanks again for sharing what you could.
I am surprised that the songs are already available online !

Lesley Duncan - Earth Mother (1972) (Full Album)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=av0q5ommPpw

For her second solo LP, Lesley Duncan (1943 – 2010), is surrounded by great musicians including Andy Bown (Herd, Status Quo), and a chamber-pop arrangement, which is Jimmy Horowitz's specialty, realized by the violinist Jack Rothstein (Cat Stevens). The music coupled with her strong voice results in a blend of soft rock and contemporary folk.
Besides her own solo career, she was a successful backing vocalist, and she figures on many classic records (Scott Walker, Dusty Springfield, Ringo Starr, Alan Parsons, Elton John, Pink Floyd...)

Just another "up and coming" band ... :victory: :cool:

Ambient doom jazz?

The motivating thought behind the formation of this band: "The audience ... must have the feeling of being in a grave."

I don't know, I find it great for calming background music during work.
