Today for me its Some B52s.

 

the lyrics are so deep and meaningful.

 

Planet Claire has pink air
All the trees are red
No one ever dies there
No one has a head

 

 

 

 

Love this group for something alternative to my normal playlist.

 

[Cyndee]

The lyrics remind me of the red forest in 12 monkeys, the tv series.

 

very creative use of a walkie talkie ?

Today im going to be doing that pesky housework thats been needed to be done since last week.

 

I do love to wiggle my backside and get down to something with a bit of life while running the vac round and exorcising the demons of dirt and dust.

 

Therefore along with other special and specific tracks.

 

PATENBRIGADE: WOLFF - Follow Me

 

 

[SaraAW]

Music is one of the very few things that can break through my walls and truly let me feel.  I have music playing as often as I can. 

 

This thread is one I look forward to daily. I’ve discovered new music and rediscovered some music I had not listened to in quite some time. 

 

At work, I’ve switched to instrumental, I find I can’t concentrate as well with lyrics  pulling my attention. I’ve really been enjoying Ludovico Einaudi’s piano pieces.  Really anything melodic that builds up to a good crescendo then eases me back out, I’ve been crushing on and queuing up. 
 

Now back  to the soundtrack of my life. I hope you all have a great day and enjoy your playlists. 
 

*hugs*

Me too!   You're right that there is so much good music to be discovered.  

 

I also find that music with sung lyrics can be a distraction if I was working as I would be listening too intently and be lose my focus on the task at hand.  I love instrumental music.

We just got home from an Emmylou Harris concert, and it was outstanding!  I've loved her music since the late 70's.  Her voice still rings like a bell and her band was great.  I'm so glad that she is still around to perform, and I'm still around to hear her.

Thanks MaryMary. I enjoyed the music. My French is not very strong, but enough that I understood the general premise of the song. 

[Maid In Bedlam]

Today i have been really Nostagic.

 

There is a story to this song if i may indulge you for a few minutes of your time.

 

Maybe about 5 years ago and some. I had an online freind.

This pal of mine was in the Navy During the Vietnam war. he use to spot for the ships guns which would sometimes mean going ashore to seek out the enemy emplacements. Some of the storys he told me were quite horrific

He indroduced me to this song. As when they was heading back to the states this was the song they always use to play over the loudspeakers and it stuck in his mind. because of this i got indroduced to it and it always stuck with me and it is also an awesome track.

I lost touch with my freind. I do not know if he is now still alive or gone. I think he had some issues that the war in vietnam gave him and he never really recoved. I have tryed to get back in touch but never had any luck.

 

Therefore This is for you P if your still of this world or even if you have gone. I miss you and im sorry we fell out of touch.

Sing it Sister!  

[Charlize]

I love it!  So many songs that burned their way into my mind as this hippie sniffed the tear gas in anti war demonstrations.  FM radio was just finding an audience as most were listening to AM.  Somehow music brings those days back like nothing else.  "The times are still a'changing".  May dawn come soon.

 

Hugs,

somewhat enigmatic but really striking lyrics. It speaks about futility of trying to keep things the same. 

[Josie Beth]

Wait a while

We’ll figure out our lives 

Hold your breath

The wolves are in disguise 

Don’t need your dirty hands 

Don’t need to take a chance 

Go stand in behind the fence 

Can you feel that bleeding neck 

Can you feel that now 

 

Close the door 

Take a walk around 

Hold your breath 

In these rivers you might drown 

All alone you live inside 

It’s alone you came and went 

In the shadows the bounty rides

A love that makes no sense 

It makes no sense...

 

You could beat a cat in the rain 

Losing all that you gain

Working hard but you know 

All things will change 

 

The world it’ll spin and stand trial 

While they spit and draw blood 

from your smile 

We’ll all make it back to the stars 

But it’s ours for a little while 

 

Oo oo ooo ooo ooooo

Oo oo ooo ooo ooooo

 

Brace your heart 

In this rich and colored plinth 

Hold your breath 

It’s a key and a killer in your hands

All I want is bells and whistles 

All I want is fancy dreams 

And you live and learn 

And soon discern

Nothing’s ever what it seems 

Never what it seems 

 

Beat a cat in the rain 

Losing all that you gain

Working hard but you know 

All things will change 

 

The world it’ll spin and stand trial 

While they spit and draw blood 

from your smile 

We’ll all make it back to the stars 

But it’s ours for a little while 

 

Oo oo ooo ooo ooooo

Oo oo ooo ooo ooooo
