What are you listening to?

As brilliant as always, the new David Bowie album will be released in January of 2016, in the meantime he delivers a solid video clip to accompany the title track BLACKSTAR, which i whole heartedly recommend (Not for the faint of heart) which speaks of the rogue star/ planet that is discussed on this forum at length.

"Blackstar"
- David Bowie, 2016, all rights reserved.

In the villa of Ormen, in the villa of Ormen
Stands a solitary candle, ah-ah, ah-ah
In the centre of it all, in the center of it all
Your eyes
​
On the day of execution, on the day of execution
Only women kneel and smile, ah-ah, ah-ah
At the center of it all, at the center of it all
Your eyes, your eyes
​
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
​
In the villa of Ormen, in the villa of Ormen
Stands a solitary candle, ah-ah, ah-ah
In the centre of it all, in the centre of it all
Your eyes
Ah-ah-ah
​
Something happened on the day he died
Spirit rose a metre and stepped aside
Somebody else took his place, and bravely cried
(I’m a blackstar, I’m a blackstar)
​
How many times does an angel fall?
How many people lie instead of talking tall?
He trod on sacred ground, he cried loud into the crowd
(I’m a blackstar, I’m a blackstar, I’m not a gangster)
​
I can’t answer why (I’m a blackstar)
Just go with me (I’m not a filmstar)
I’m-a take you home (I’m a blackstar)
Take your passport and shoes (I’m not a popstar)
And your sedatives, boo (I’m a blackstar)
You’re a flash in the pan (I’m not a marvel star)
I’m the great I am (I’m a blackstar)
​
I’m a blackstar, way up, oh honey, I’ve got game
I see right so white, so open-heart it’s pain
I want eagles in my daydreams, diamonds in my eyes
(I’m a blackstar, I’m a blackstar)
​
Something happened on the day he died
Spirit rose a metre and stepped aside
Somebody else took his place, and bravely cried
(I’m a blackstar, I’m a star star, I’m a blackstar)
​
I can’t answer why (I’m not a gangster)
But I can tell you how (I’m not a flam star)
We were born upside-down (I’m a star star)
Born the wrong way ‘round (I’m not a white star)
(I’m a blackstar, I’m not a gangster
I’m a blackstar, I’m a blackstar
I’m not a pornstar, I’m not a wandering star
I’m a blackstar, I’m a blackstar)
​
In the villa of Ormen stands a solitary candle
Ah-ah, ah-ah
At the centre of it all, your eyes
On the day of execution, only women kneel and smile
Ah-ah, ah-ah
At the centre of it all, your eyes, your eyes
Ah-ah-ah

Ryan Arcand - The Beginning
Homeless man composed this music. If instead on the street with the car noise, he would play in a studio environment, this could be a bestseller. Wait until 01:47 - he pretty much succeeded summing up the human condition:

Ryan, a man who has been living on the street for 30 years plays the piano outside in downtown Edmonton, in Churchill Square, no one taught him to play, he just could.

Short transcript from an interview with him:
- I'm not a religious person. But there is a difference: You can be religious, but not believe. But me, I believe and I'm not religious. I believe in the higher power, in the Creator.. and I thank the Creator, I love the Creator for giving me this gift. The Creator knew exactly what day, what year this day would happen. I didn't know it..

Mouskouri's got quite the clear voice.

For something I actually found today, Dave van Ronk (an acquired taste, he's got his own way, an emotional but voiceless blues artist, usually on the correct side of things) made me finally understand "Both Sides Now." Mitchell's classic is apparently one of the best folk songs which usually means I should love it, here is Ronk's interpretation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMhBdIu8gaI
 
- Laboratorium Pieśni-Sztoj pa moru (Што й па мору)

Laboratorium Pieśni (meaning: Song Laboratory) is the group of female songsters from Tri-City (Poland), which was created in 2013. Using traditional, polyphonic singing they perform songs from all over the world, mainly: Ukraine, Balkans, Poland, Belarus, Georgia, Scandinavia and many other places. They sing a capella as well as with shaman drums and other ethnic instruments (shruti box, kalimba, flute, gong, zaphir and koshi chimes, singing bowls, rattles etc.), creating a new space in a traditional song, adding voice improvisations, inspired by sounds of nature, often intuitive, wild and feminine.
