    Good looking, but I'm less interested in that than I am in how the voices and souls connect to the song. But this one does have a sexy look.

    I listened to the other Lena Hall songs and none of them quite measured up to "Rebel Rebel". Maybe she felt she was also a rebel? Maybe she was re-creating a soul? Whatever it was, she even sings to me when I'm sitting on the porch in my rocking chair time-machine. What is it about noises that please the brain?

    Ha! Wow, that's an old one, isn't it? Like from 1984? Two + minutes.

    Did you, perchance, see my posts in the last edition (#25) of this song thread (p. 166) of Lone Justice/ Maria McKee? In the interest of not duplicating a link, here is a version of "Shelter" which is messed up for a few seconds at the beginning. There are 3 more versions at the first of my two posts:

    http://www.politicalforum.com/index...-right-now-25.562489/page-166#post-1074266136




    In that post, I think you might appreciate the song "Wheels," for its, almost gutteral, passion.
    Here is a different You Tube link for that song, albeit the same performance, as in my other post.




    Here's the link to my other post, with 5 more songs:

    http://www.politicalforum.com/index...-right-now-25.562489/page-166#post-1074274960

    I would point you to "Don't Toss Us Away," though the most popular one, seemed like it might have been the first song (" Dreams Come True") but which was without a video. I, personally, think the singing is lovely, and touching, in "You Are the Light," (even if it isn't the highest quality recording).
    Here is actually a different version of "Don't Toss Us Away," though it doesn't feel as intimate as the one in my past post-- so I recommend you still check out that one. This one does, though, have an additional Rockabilly song, for anyone who's interested.

    Hi mate....I'm guessing you're American? When I was a kid we used to listen to Radio Caroline which was a "pirate" radio station set up on a ship in the English Channel and they had some awesome music playing....we either listened to Caroline or the Friday Rock Show on BBC Radio One with Tommy Vance from 10PM to Midnight on a Friday evening....Tommy, bless him, was an absolute legend in the Rock scene here in the UK...in the 80s it was the only radio show dedicated to rock/heavy metal.....still have a shed load of tapes of the show from 80s

    "Flowers of the Forest" is always played on Remembrance Day parades ....although this video is called "Flowers of the Forest" its actually a mix....at 1.48 it changes to "Mingulay Boat Song" and so forth....

    I have listened to this kid's cover of All I want he performed at his uncle's funeral lately. I think he does a really good job with it. It is such a downer song anyway.

    You have good taste, my man. :beer:

    The first album I bought with my own money was All The World's A Stage. This is my favorite Rush song today:



    Tomorrow it's "Anthem". :smile:

    .....:D.....

    yeah I know what you mean.....today's favorite....I only got there because of the line “Quick to judge, quick to anger, slow to understand…ignorance and prejudice and fear walk hand in hand” which I thought pretty much sums up social media...



    Cheers mate!

    Such a strange album, but GREAT fun.

    To any Aussie of a certain age that music can mean only one thing - the 1981 film Gallipoli. Directed by Peter Weir and starring Mel Gibson, both on their ways to successful Hollywood careers. The bloke giving orders in the very first scene was legendary Aussie actor Bill Hunter, who was a fixture at the bar of a pub just up the road from me - he liked to bet on the horsies and DID NOT like to be disturbed. :)

    On Saturday I went along with my brother and his kids to see an experimental guitar performance by Jim Moginie, best known as the guitarist for Midnight Oil. The music was supposed to interact with various colour displays. It sounded a bit like this:



    The music, however, was only part of the draw. The venue was melbourne's spectacular Capitol Theatre, with a ceiling designed by famous architect Walter Burley Griffin (he designed Australia's capitol city - Canberra). So, the light show looked a bit like this - pretty cool.



    A Jim Moginie track from the Oils (he is on the left of screen):



    One more cool thing, one of the guitarists on Saturday was Kent Steedman. He was one of the guitarists for the Celibate Rifles, one of the best Australians bands you've never heard of (he is the short guy with the long hair in the first video). These guys were contemporaries of the Oils, but not as well known outside Australia. Sadly lead singer Damien Lovelock died in 2019, so they are no more. :(



    This one is from Melbourne's best live music venue - the Corner Hotel in Richmond.
