What are you listening to?

Just listened this one from Havasi (never heard about) with Lisa Gerrard, the title of the song "The Storm" goes well with what we are all experiencing at this moment.
I'm re-listening it a 2nd time without watching the clip
 
"Candombe para José", by argentinian Roberto Ternán, was one of the most popular songs in the Pinochet prison camps in Chile.

It was sung on different occasions by the own prisoners, when a new prisoner arrived or someone was released, or to encourage someone who was tortured or received punishment.


Here performed on spanish TV in 1978 by the Illapu group who made the song popular in Chile.
 
This woman seems to have some understanding of what the stones were originally used for as "energy directors" according to the C's. She's singing with some of the oldest and tallest standing stones in the UK at Stenness, Orkney Islands in Scotland. I really liked the visuals of the waves of energy flowing through the stones and the spinning dance going on in the background. I think it would of been amazing to have seen stonehenge back in the day when it was fully operational with the dancers.

 
I hadn’t heard this Big Star tune in a long time, but when it came on I almost stared to cry 😢 The lyrics are so poignant with all that’s going on (hope it resonates with others) - resist, steel up, have faith, and just hold on! ❤️


"The Ballad Of El Goodo" (1971)

Years ago, my heart was set to live, oh
And I've been trying hard against unbelievable odds

It gets so hard in times like now to hold on
But guns they wait to be stuck by, at my side is God


And there ain't no one going to turn me 'round
Ain't no one going to turn me 'round

There's people around who tell you that they know
And places where they send you, and it's easy to go
They'll zip you up and dress you down and stand you in a row
But you know you don't have to, you could just say no


And there ain't no one going to turn me 'round
Ain't no one going to turn me 'round
Ain't no one going to turn me 'round
Ain't no one going to turn me 'round

I've been built up and trusted
Broke down and busted
But they'll get theirs and we'll get ours if you can
Just-a hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on


Years ago, my heart was set to live, oh
Though I've been trying hard against strong odds
It gets so hard in times like now to hold on
Well, I'll fall if I don't fight, and at my side is God

And there ain't no one going to turn me 'round
Ain't no one going to turn me 'round
Ain't no one going to turn me 'round
Ain't no one going to turn me 'round

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on…
 
R.I.P. Nancy Griffith (1953-2021).


I am a backseat driver from America
They drive to the left on Falls Road
The man at the wheel's name is Seamus
We pass a child on the corner he knows
And Seamus says, "Now, what chance has that kid got?"
And I say from the back, "I don't know"
He says, "There's barbed wire at all of these exits
And there ain't no place in Belfast for that kid to go"

It's a hard life
It's a hard life
It's a very hard life
It's a hard life wherever you go
If we poison our children with hatred
Then, the hard life is all they'll ever know
And there ain't no place in (Belfast) for these kids to go
(Chicago)
(This world)

A cafeteria line in Chicago
The fat man in front of me
Is calling black people trash to his children
He's the only trash here I see
And I'm thinking this man wears a white hood
In the night when his children should sleep
But, they slip to their window and they see him
And they think that white hood's all they need

I was a child in the sixties
Dreams could be held through TV
With Disney and Cronkite and Martin Luther
Oh, I believed, I believed, I believed
Now, I am a backstreet driver from America
I am not at the wheel of control
I am guilty, I am war, and I am the root of all evil
Lord, and I can't drive on the left side of the road
 

Comic book faces are crawling up out of my head
Brave is the person embracing the unknown
Candle lit angels are comforting my despair
Fear and uncertainty blinding me let it go

Hold on hold be strong
Because I know
This is the way back home

Counter traces of gnawing bluff get out of my head
Craving is certainly chasing the well known
Radiant fables are taunting me I will share
Mirrored the curtain is opening to come home

Hold on hold be strong
Because I know
This is the way back home

Find your restless heart
Find your fearless soul
Find your way back home

Hold on hold be strong
Because I know
This is the way back home
 

"Dancing With The Lion"
Andreas Vollenweider • 1989

Spherical, enchanting music, makes the soul ascend and dance; floating and swirling among the skies. It's one of the first things i'll (likely remember) to do, when entering a realm of physical variability :wow: meeting friends, dancing together !
