What are you listening to?

Some wonderful epic/doom metal from Germany:


All their work is themed around European history, myth and folklore, with a touch of Tolkien and Lovecraft thrown in for flavour! Often dark and apocalyptic but, to me, always uplifting.
 
Josh Ritter's been playing live. He set up funding for a foodbank in NYC....I think the following is the first of the every Tuesday sessions during lockdown:

I enjoy Josh Ritter as a musician and also as a genuinely good person. He'll be doing another live session next Tue. Don't know JR? Here's one from his latest album:
 
For some reason this song, by The Jacksons, " Can you Feel It " from their appropriately named Album, Triumph.., has been playing in my head the last couple of days, and today I decided to listen to it after a very long time and look at the lyrics.... they are just wonderful.
A good song to remind us of our humanity and oneness, at a time when frenzy, hysteria and panic, are being forced down our throats to create divisiveness.


The Jacksons
(Written and composed by Michael Jackson and Jackie Jackson )

"Can You Feel It"
Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it

If you look around
The whole world is coming together now yeah

Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it

Feel it in the air, the wind is taking it everywhere

Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it

All the colors of the world should be
Lovin' each other wholeheartedly
Yes, it's all right
Take my message to your brother and tell him twice
Spread the word and try to teach the man
Who's hating his brother, when hate won't do
Cause we're all the same, 'cause the blood inside of me is inside of you

Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it
Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it

Sing out loud
Because we want to make a crowd yeah
Touch a hand and sing a sound so pure, salvation rings
Tell me

Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it
Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it

All the children of the world should be
Loving each other wholeheartedly
Yes, it's all right
Take my message to your brother and tell him twice
Take the news to the marching men,
Who are killing their brothers, when death won't do
Cause we're all the same
Yes, the blood inside my veins is inside of you
Now tell me

Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it
Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it

Every breath you take
Is someone's death in another place
Every healthy smile
Is hunger and strife to another child
But the stars do shine
In promising salvation, is near this time
Can you feel it now
So brothers and sisters
Show we know how
Now tell me

Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it
Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it

All the children of the world should be
Loving each other wholeheartedly
Yes, it's all right
Take my message to your brother and tell him twice
Take the news to the marching men,
Who are killing their brothers, when death won't do
Cause we're all the same
Yes the blood inside my veins is inside of you
Now tell me

Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it
Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it
