What are you listening to?

Caught this last year - 'No Oil Paintings' (song - God Only Knows) from Northern Ireland with guest singer Joss Stone.

This little band, in this recording, with this song, presents a pretty nice sound. The lead singer is just great (and Stone adds her flavor).

Hope you enjoy it.

Did enjoy it! I came to post a contemplating God of sorts song too. Only time I've previously seen Stone was with Rob Thomas for a cover of a Stevie Nicks/Tom Petty song. Hope posting a song works the same as with the old forum:

Did the same thing - trial and error lead to just using the URL rather than the embed code: many features of the new forum that were Scottiefied work so much more easily. :-)

Buddy featured this back in 2015 (however it was not active in the post). Here it is again, a one man band: Shakey Graves - Roll the Bones:

 
The Soil - Joy.

The Soil are a South African acapella group. Here are the lyrics (with parts in Afrikaans):

1, 2, 3, 4!

First verse and you know it does not get any worse
I got my friends and my pals singing this to nurse
They wish our voices bring you peace on this earth
'Cause in the name of Jesus Christ we were blessed at birth
With the gift of singing your sorrows away
We won't sing 'til we drive your sorrows away
Please don't cry, winds of change are blowing away
And I know I don't know who you are but I know

We are family
(I know it, I know it, I know it)
We are family
(I got my mother, my brother, my sister and lover)
We are family
(I know it, I know it, I know it)
We are family
(I said I know it)
We are family
We are family
We are family
(I know it, I know it, I know it)
We are family

You're probably sitting there on your own
You're probably listening to this song
Pumping all over your radio
And suddenly you feel a lot of joy, joy
You're singing along,
The Soil comes in, you don't care, you just carry on

You're probably sitting there on your own
You're probably listening to this song
Pumping all over your radio
And suddenly you feel a lot of joy...
Oh oh oh oh oh

I got joy in my heart
And you know it's the kind of feeling
Followed by a sense of healing, yeah
I got joy in my heart, I got love in my heart and I got joy in my heart
And you know it's the kind of feeling
Followed by a sense of healing, yeah
I got joy in my heart, got love in my heart, I got joy in my heart

UThixo wakudala wena wandizala
Nobuhle bendalo wandithiya
Ndiyabulela mampinga
Wen' usisthandwa sam'
Akhukhw' endimthandayo njengawe
Mama wam' ndiyabulela mampinga
Usisthandwa sam'
I'm saying this because:

We are family
(I know it, I know it, I know it)
We are family
(I got my mother, my brother, my sister and lover)
We are family
(I know it, I know it, I know it)
We are family
(I said I know it)
We are family
We are family
We are family
We are family
Family in my heart

Ndivuke namhl' ekuseni (ndivuke namhl' ekuseni ahh)
Ilanga libeth'ebusweni (ilanga libeth' ebusweni ahh)
Ndahamba ndayecaweni (ndahamba ndayecaweni)
Ndathandaz' uMessiah ndabulela
Usandigcinile
Ndivuk namhl' ekuseni (ndivuke namhl' ekuseni)
Ilanga libeth'ebusweni
Nda... hamba ndayecaweni (ndahamba ndayecaweni)
Ndathandaz' uMessiah ndabulela
Usandigcinile...
Ho oh oh oh oh
Ndathandaz' uMessiah ndabulela

I got joy in my heart
And you know it's the kind of feeling
Followed by a sense of healing, yeah
I got joy in my heart, I got love in my heart and I got joy in my heart
And you know it's the kind of feeling
Followed by a sense of healing, yeah
I got joy in my heart, got love in my heart, I got joy in my heart

'Cause we are family
(I know it, I know it, I know it)
We are family
(I got my mother, my father, my sister and lover yeah)
We are family
(I know it, I know it, I know it)
We are family
(I know it!)
We are family
We are family
We are family
Oh we are family
We are family
Family in my heart

The principal theme of the sound track of the Spanish movie "The seventh day" by Carlos Saura, a tragic story about a vengeance between 2 families in the 90's in the, what we call here, "the black and profound Spain", la España negra y profunda.

A very good movie, by the way.

Led Zep Battle of Evermore


Absolutely phenomenal song featuring English folk star Sandy Denny, wondering on Tolkien themed lyrics. Really pretty arrangement.
 
Another from Zep Four Sticks

The drummer John Bonham used four sticks to create the clicky beat to this song, hence the title. Really wonderous song, fiery and powerful.
