What are you listening to?

The title "why we build the wall" comes from the album "folk opera" HADESTOWN of Anais Mitchell.
Here the lyrics and the original version with Greg Brown:
HADES
Why do we build the wall?
My children, my children
Why do we build the wall?

CERBERUS
Why do we build the wall?
We build the wall to keep us free
That?s why we build the wall
We build the wall to keep us free

HADES
How does the wall keep us free?
My children, my children
How does the wall keep us free?

CERBERUS
How does the wall keep us free?
The wall keeps out the enemy
And we build the wall to keep us free
That?s why we build the wall
We build the wall to keep us free

HADES
Who do we call the enemy?
My children, my children
Who do we call the enemy?

CERBERUS
Who do we call the enemy?
The enemy is poverty
And the wall keeps out the enemy
And we build the wall to keep us free
That?s why we build the wall
We build the wall to keep us free

HADES
Because we have and they have not!
My children, my children
Because they want what we have got!

CERBERUS
Because we have and they have not!
Because they want what we have got!
The enemy is poverty
And the wall keeps out the enemy
And we build the wall to keep us free
That?s why we build the wall
We build the wall to keep us free

HADES
What do we have that they should want?
My children, my children
What do we have that they should want?

CERBERUS
What do we have that they should want?
We have a wall to work upon!
We have work and they have none
And our work is never done
My children, my children
And the war is never won
The enemy is poverty
And the wall keeps out the enemy
And we build the wall to keep us free
That?s why we build the wall
We build the wall to keep us free
We build the wall to keep us free

I stumbled into this nice music, which reminds me on the music of "Russian romantics" but it is more recent. I'm really enjoying it. :)

"Thrown like a star in my vast sleep, I opened my eyes to take a peek, To find that I was by the sea, Gazing with tranquility"​
"Twas then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man, Came singing songs of love, Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man, Came singing songs of love"​
"Histories of ages past, Unenlightened shadows cast, Down through all eternity, The crying of humanity"​
"Tis then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man, Comes singing songs of love, Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man, Comes singing songs of love"​
"Here comes the Roly Poly Man, He's singing songs of love"​
 
Came across with these videos where several musicians from all around the world play one particular song, there are several songs which are quite awesome, plus the whole idea of uniting musicians from around the globe, IMO, is great! :thup:

You might enjoy this if you haven't already seen it: 1000 musicians play a song at once. They've done it with a bunch of different covers, it's quite impressive.

JJ Cale has got me through some tough times, this song in particular.

Carry On
If life's little downs they keep coming around
Carry on, carry on
With darkness all about, you want to scream and shout
Carry on, carry on
Don't cry baby, look at where you've been
Everybody knows you just need a friend
Please, please, please, if you're down on your knees
Carry on, carry on
Your head is full of doubt, you can't figure it out
Carry on, carry on

Between the time it takes to make all those mistakes
Carry on, carry on
It don't matter what you say or do
It just seems to work out if you want it to
Let out all the slack, take it off your back
Carry on, carry on
Let me bend your ear, never shed a tear
Carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on
 
I wish i could say the same of myself, that i'm in perfect harmony.
That i do not use the sword of my tongue to lash out at the enemy.
That i do not fear the light.
That i do not stray from Love as my guide.
That i'm at peace inside.
And all the pieces are fine - they dance and sing in unity.
A dum dum dum dee daa da deee.

I wish I could fly through the sky and the moon above me.
I wish I could talk to the Gods and the birds above me.
It's not fun to be so blind.
To be so blind.

I wish i could stay in the present day not lapsing into vicious sleep.
Cause it gives my bones a brand shiny new home - one that does not confine me.
And i do not fear the Light.
And i do not stray from Love as my guide.
And i'm at peace inside.
And all the pieces are fine. They dance and sing in unity.
A dum dum dum dee daaa da deeeee.

I wish I could fly ,,,,,,

Slo fuzz in the morning,
where i can tempt you to be my air...
But it's not enough to be lovely when i feel other things i can not share.
That i can't.
