haha, Farnsy, haven't heard that in a while, thanks MusicMan. For anyone not an aussie, JOhn Farnham was a stalwart of Australian music for quite some time, especially the 80's and 90's. Some say, this song "Your the Voice" should be the aussie anthem :

John Farnham - Your the Voice


We have the chance to turn the pages over
We can write what we want to write
We gotta make ends meet, before we get much older

We're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?

You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear
Oh-wo-wo-wo, oh-wo-wo-wo
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear
Oh-wo-wo-wo, oh-wo-wo-wo

This time, we know we all can stand together
With the power to be powerful
Believing we can make it better

Ooooh
We're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?

You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear
Oh-wo-wo-wo, oh-wo-wo-wo
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear
Oh-wo-wo-wo, oh-wo-wo-wo
 
What are you listening to?... well you guys. I know this is just for mostly adding to the links but these last ones really hit me in a good way.

You Aussies have some great musicians and music that I just never heard before. And I agree Marina9 "Sometimes YouTube just surprises you hehe: " like a guitar backed by an orchestra.

I will post a link after I recover from this last page of fabulous posts. :wow:
 
haha, well, I've been on a bit of a nostalgia trip after hearing John Farnham again, here's a bunch of Ozzy tracks from the 80's

Noiseworks - Take Me Back (1987)

Icehouse - "Electric Blue" (1987)

Screaming Jets - Better

Choir Boys - Run To Paradise
 
When I came across this music video entitled “Allan Watts Chillstep Mix” I was intrigued how a philosopher and chillstep could be mixed together. Well, I was pleasantly surprised because the music is definitely “chill” punctuated every five minutes with voice-over comments by Allan Watts, who, I’ve discovered was quite an interesting fellow, and especially good at synthesizing Eastern philosophy and translating it into Western concepts.

Excerpts from WikiPedia:
_https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Watts

The few Chinese paintings Watts was able to see in England riveted him, and he wrote "I was aesthetically fascinated with a certain clarity, transparency, and spaciousness in Chinese and Japanese art. It seemed to float...".These works of art emphasized the participatory relationship of man in nature, a theme that stood fast throughout his life, and one that he often writes about.

Watts attended The King's School, Canterbury next door to Canterbury Cathedral. Though he was frequently at the top of his classes scholastically and was given responsibilities at school, he botched an opportunity for a scholarship to Oxford by styling a crucial examination essay in a way that was read as presumptuous and capricious.

When he left secondary school, Watts worked in a printing house and later a bank. He spent his spare time involved with the Buddhist Lodge and also under the tutelage of a "rascal guru" named Dimitrije Mitrinović. who was influenced by Peter Demianovich Ouspensky, the famed student of G. I. Gurdjieff.

Echoing what the C’s have said about any “benefits” of psychedelic drugs, Watts commented, "If you get the message, hang up the phone. For psychedelic drugs are simply instruments, like microscopes, telescopes, and telephones. The biologist does not sit with eye permanently glued to the microscope, he goes away and works on what he has seen.”

In this particular video, his comments focus on the three views of nature: the Western, nature is an object inferior to ourselves to be conquered; the Hindu, nature is a drama in which we participate, watch and learn; and the Chinese, nature is greater than ourselves, a spontaneous living organism of which we are a part and with which we should flow.

Loreena McKennitt - Night Ride Across The Caucasus


Ride on Through the night Ride on
Ride on Through the night Ride on

There are visions, there are memories
There are echoes of thundering hooves
There are fires, there is laughter
There's the sound of a thousand doves

Ride on Through the night Ride on
Ride on Through the night Ride on

In the velvet of the darkness
By the silhouette of silent trees
They are watching, they are waiting
They are witnessing life's mysteries

Ride on Through the night Ride on
Ride on Through the night Ride on

Cascading stars on the slumbering hills
They are dancing as far as the sea
Riding o'er the land, you can feel its gentle hand
Leading on to its destiny

Ride on Through the night Ride on
Ride on Through the night Ride on

Take me with you on this journey
Where the boundaries of time are now tossed
In cathedrals of the forest
In the words of the tongues now lost

Find the answers, ask the questions
Find the roots of an ancient tree
Take me dancing, take me singing
I'll ride on till the moon meets the sea

Ride on Through the night Ride on
Ride on Through the night Ride on

Ride on Through the night Ride on
Ride on Through the night Ride on

Ahh! I'd not thought of this piece for a long time. Thank-you for posting it, Drazen!

I didn't remove this CD from my player for nearly a whole year. McKennitt helped me survive high school, I think!

She is an amazing human being, enormously powerful, creating waves around her wherever she moved. -Get this: She achieved the unheard of in the middle of a corrupt music industry. She started her own independent label, selling CDs by walking into music stores and leaving disks on consignment, and grew from there. Her self-publishing company evolved into a miniature empire, and other musicians who have worked with her speak of her as though she were royalty. She did the impossible, and did so with grace, and she is deeply respected because of it and how she treats others. I found a lot of personal inspiration in her work! She's a butterfly, for sure!

Anyway...

On a different 'note' (har har!) I ran across this cover (below) and was stunned by how much it moved me, -I was surprised given its very corporate source! Also, two of the musicians look like clones of a pair of very intense friends I've known, but who seem much more whole and strong in this video.

I find I am quite moved by a capella work. -I remember the C's mentioning something about learning to play the human body as an instrument. I doubt they quite meant this sort of thing, but still... Nothing reverberates quite like pure human voice harmonizing. The lyrics also carry a worthy message I like to remind myself of from time to time!
