The Force is Strong With This One
Weathercock...
some good old piece of Jethro Tull..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h52njcxZptc
and here the text for those who want to join in singing :) :
Good morning Weathercock: How did you fare last night?
Did the cold wind bite you, did you face up to the fright
When the leaves spin from October
and whip around your tail?
Did you shake from the blast, did you shiver through the gale?
Give us direction; the best of goodwill ---
Put us in touch with fair winds.
Sing to us softly, hum evening's song ---
Tell us what the blacksmith has done for you.
Do you simply reflect changes in the patterns of the sky,
Or is it true to say the weather heeds the twinkle in your eye?
Do you fight the rush of winter; do you hold snowflakes at bay?
Do you lift the dawn sun from the fields and help him on his way?
Good morning Weathercock: make this day bright.
Put us in touch with your fair winds.
Sing to us softly, hum evening's song.
Point the way to better days we can share with you.

Thanks, ines, for sharing the link. I love Jethro Tull. :) Ian Anderson is awesome. A whole bunch of other Jethro Tull videos came up, but I'm getting offline, so I'll watch some more some other time.

Thanks for the link. My daughter was telling me she likes Rihanna. I checked out her music and her singular achievement is to be totally devoid of originality. I don't know how Rihanna does it!
:O And then - the perfect antidote - I came across your link to Weathercock. Real original music by a real musician. After listening to Weathercock I listened to 'Songs from the Wood' by Jethro Tull which is simply electrifying!Jethro Tull - Songs from the Wood: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgUw6t3b6oE
Edit:
I had to add this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlE2DjOX2FE&feature=fvwrel
Ian Anderson performing 'Wondering Aloud' with a string quartet and piano in 2001. Absolutely lovely!
And this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QE8YLPHZImw
Anderson performing Life's a Long Song with the same musicians and a drummer.

I'm not a fan of hardrock but this one is good.
the video is also very interesting. It has something of a messianic touch.

Disturbed - Land of Confusion
I must've dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching of feet
Moving into the street
Now did you read the news today?
They say the danger's gone away
But I can see the fires still alight
Burning into the night
There's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And there's not much love to go around
Can't you see this is a land of confusion?
Ah Ah Ah Ah
This is the world we live in
(ohh ohh oh)
And these are the hands we're given
(ohh oh)
Use them and let's start trying
(ohh ohh oh)
To make it a place worth living in
Oh, superman, where are you now?
When everything's gone wrong somehow
The men of steel, these men of power
Are losing control by the hour
And this is the time, this is the place
So we look for the future
But there's not much love to go around
Tell me why this is a land of confusion
Ah Ah Ah Ah
This is the world we live in
(ohh ohh oh)
And these are the hands we're given
(Ohh oh)
Use them and let's start trying
(ohh ohh oh)
To make it a place worth living in
I remember long ago
When the sun was shining
And all the stars were bright
All through the night
In the wake of this madness
As I held you tight
So long ago
(sha sha)
I won't be coming home tonight
(sha sha)
My generation will put it right
(sha sha)
We're not just making promises
(sha sha)
That we know we'll never keep
Ah
There's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And there's not much love to go around
Can't you see this is a land of confusion?
Ah Ah Ah Ah
Now, this is the world we live in
(ohh ohh oh)
And these are the hands we're given
(ohh oh)
Use them and let's start trying
(ohh ohh oh)
To make it a place worth fighting for
This is the world we live in
(ohh ohh oh)
And these are the names we're given
(ohh oh)
Stand up and let's start showing
(ohh ohh oh)
Just where our lives are going to
