What are you listening to?

I was listening the Donnie Darko' s movie soundtrack , it's one of my favorite films undoubtedly and one of the rarest ones I've seen too;
This song is beautiful, although very sad too, and very suitable for our world today, I leave the lyrics. I hope you enjoy it!


"All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very very
mad world mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very very
Mad world, world
Enlarge your world
Mad world"

thanks for sharing PerfectCircle, has a real movie soundtrack feel, I found myself picturing ancient ruins, and the hero's journey toward them :)

Speaking of movie soundtracks, below is Ennio Morricone - The Mission, He is IMO one of the best composers for film.


I also came across this recently, CHOIR sings OM SO HUM Mantra, which reminds me of when I was in Myanmar

 
Zak, Pink Floyd so creative I think…especially liked ON THE TURNING AWAY

Lavinia_Sofia, Donnie Darko’s soundtrack…kind of sad and beautiful too, but “all there is is lessons” and we have each other here. Neat video too.

987bas, Keith Urban’s 2016 Artists Tribute…I think he’s even better on acoustic and yes, we lost some great musicians last year.

Blue lamp, Regina is such a talent I think. Kind of classical and contemporary at the same time. The
words give “hope” I think “No need to say goodbye”.

PerfectCircle, Amethstium - Odyssey does have that movie soundtrack feel to me. Looks like Petra in the background. Middle East or Indian/vedic flavor too I think. Thanks.

987bas, OM SO HUM…Hm, hm, hm…makes me want to visit Myanmar. Still listening…

I was just behind on listening and liked everything I missed. You guys give so much new music to like.

What am I listening to? As much as I can here.

I can’t think of anything myself right now but maybe later. Thanks to all of you. :hug2:
 
Way back from 1970. Ariana Grande never had a chance. :lol:


American woman, stay away from me
American woman, mama let me be
Don't come a hangin' around my door
I don't want to see your face no more
I got more important things to do
Than spend my time growin' old with you
Now woman, I said stay away
American woman, listen what I say-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay

American woman, get away from me
American woman, mama let me be
Don't come a knockin' around my door
Don't want to see your shadow no more
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now woman, I said get away
American woman, listen what I say-ay-ay-ay

American woman, said get away
American woman, listen what I say
Don't come a hangin' around my door
Don't want to see your face no more
I don't need your war machines
I don't need your ghetto scenes
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now woman, get away from me
American woman, mama let me be

Go, gotta get away, gotta get away now go, go, go
I'm gonna leave you woman
Gonna leave you woman
Bye-bye bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
You're no good for me
I'm no good for you
Gonna look you right in the eye
Tell you what I'm gonna do
You know I'm gonna leave
You know I'm gonna go
You know I'm gonna leave
You know I'm gonna go-o, woman
I'm gonna leave you woman
Goodbye American woman
Goodbye American chick​

It ain't pretty words but I there is a lot of truth in this one I think.

As goyacobol wrote, some great suggestions came up in this thread recently.

Listening to Morricone's main theme for the movie The Mission always reminds me of Samuel Barber and his famous Adagio, I don't know the reason. This is a recent (and very decent!) rendition:

IMO, the way the violins and the cellos sound in this piece is awesome.

Awesome, beautiful (especially soothing after American Woman).
