What are you listening to?

This reminds me of a scene in Pulp Fiction when Mia Wallace says that there are Elvis people, and Beatles people. You can like both, but everybody prefers one to the other. And that determines the type of person you are.

That's really funny.
 
Just like Alana and Gandalf, for me it's the King, especially 'Always on my mind':

This youtube 'video' is very touching, with all the pictures of him and Priscilla, the baby, etc.
 
I guess I'm a Beatles type though I do like the 50's version of Elvis. Penny Lane

Roy and Elvis were both great singers, but Elvis was a master performer, an entertainer, and he had charisma in buckets. Roy, on the other hand, was more of a musician and wrote his own songs. I guess that's why I chose him over the King.

That song is one of my favorites, and I always find it touching, but you are right, it's more so with the family pictures. And as a kid (early teens) I teared when I heard In the Ghetto for the first time:

There's also a few Elvis songs that I call my "happy songs", they are mood changers :dance: ;D

Wooden Heart is one

Return to Sender is another

I love "In the Ghetto." I've been listening to it the last few weeks. "Suspicious Minds", too. I find I am liking late Elvis a lot.
 
I'm listening to Anathema - Shroud of Frost:

Undying odyssey... a myriad of times

The soul has seen
Through eyes of heaven
The imperium of earth
There's nothing left to perceive

Help me to escape from this existence
I yearn for an answer... can you help me?
I'm drowning in a sea of abused visions and shattered dreams
In somnolent illusion... I'm paralyzed

Infinity distraction
A pious human disorder
Blind to passage of souls
Conclusion from one remembrance

Help me to escape...

Transfixed... I gaze through my window at a world lying under a shroud of
frost. In a forlorn stupor I feel the burning of staring eyes, yet no one
is here. Detached from reality, in the Knowing of dreams, we know the
entity of ensuing agony waits to clasp us in its cold breast, in an empty
room. We awake and it's true...
I dreamt of the sun's demise, awoke to a bleak
morning. In the emptiness I beheld fate for the dead light is a foretelling
of what will be... I saw a soul drift from life, through death, and arrive
at Elysian fields in welcoming song. Yet I stand in a dusk-filled room
despondently watching the passing of the kindred spirit... and there
is no song... just a delusion of silence.
 
Very grim, but sums up Psychos quite well.

The Creature

There is a creature. It has to feed.
It stops at nothing to fill its need.
The people live in gruesome squalor,
So that the creature may grow taller.
Those with nothing have to bleed,
To help the creature spread its seed.
They learn to dine on fecal matter,
So that the creature may grow fatter.
The creature tells of evil gnomes,
Coming to destroy our homes.
And trolls who come with gun and knife,
To threaten our way of life.
The creature has enslaved our town,
But no one thinks to bring it down.
Provided with so much distraction,
The people can't be moved to action.
And when the people are all dead,
Still the creature needs its bread.
When we've been sucked completely dry,
The creature needs its food supply
(a parasite cannot survive unless its host remains alive.)
It has amassed such awesome wealth,
Maybe it can eat itself.
