What are you listening to?

Graceland
Paul Simon and Wille Nelson

The mississippi delta was shining
Like a national guitar
I am following the river
Down the highway
Through the cradle of the civil war
I'm going to graceland
Graceland
In memphis tennessee
I'm going to graceland
Poorboys and pilgrims with families
And we are going to graceland
My traveling companion is nine years old
He is the child of my first marriage
But I've reason to believe
We both will be received
In graceland

She comes back to tell me she's gone
As if I didn't know that
As if I didn't know my own bed
As if I'd never noticed
The way she brushed her hair from her forehead
And she said losing love
Is like a window in your heart
Everybody sees you're blown apart
Everybody sees the wind blow

I'm going to graceland
Memphis tennessee
I'm going to graceland
Poorboys and pilgrims with families
And we are going to graceland

And my traveling companions
Are ghosts and empty sockets
I'm looking at ghosts and empties
But I've reason to believe
We all will be received
In graceland

There is a girl in new york city
Who calls herself the human trampoline
And sometimes when I'm falling, flying
Or tumbling in turmoil I say
Oh, so this is what she means
She means we're bouncing into graceland
And I see losing love
Is like a window in your heart
Everybody sees you're blown apart
Everybody sees the wind blow

In graceland, in graceland
I'm going to graceland
For reasons I cannot explain
There's some part of me wants to see
Graceland
And I may be obliged to defend
Every love, every ending
Or maybe there's no obligations now
Maybe I've a reason to believe
We all will be received
In graceland

Stuck In A Moment Chords by U2



I'm not afraid of anything in this world

There's nothing you can throw at me that I haven't already heard

I'm just trying to find a decent melody

A song that I can sing in my own company



I never thought you were a fool

But darling, look at you

You gotta stand up straight

Carry your own weight

These tears are going nowhere, baby



You've got to get yourself together

You've got stuck in a moment

And now you can't get out of it

Don't say that later will be better

Now you're stuck in a moment

And you can't get out of it



I will not forsake the colours that you bring

The nights you filled with fireworks, they left you with nothing

I am still enchanted by the light you brought to me

I listen through your ears, through your eyes I can see



And you are such a fool

To worry like you do

I know it's tough

And you can never get enough

Of what you don't really need now, my, oh my



You've got to get yourself together

You've got stuck in a moment

And you can't get out of it

Oh love, look at you now

You've got yourself stuck in a moment

And you can't get out of it



I was unconscious, half asleep

The water is warm till you discover how deep

I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall

It's a long way down to nothing at all



You've got to get yourself together

You've got stuck in a moment

And you can't get out of it

Don't say that later will be better

Now you're stuck in a moment

And you can't get out of it



And if the night runs over

And if the day won't last

And if our way should falter

Along the stony pass



And if, and if the night runs over

And if the day won't last

And if your way should falter

Along this stony pass

It's just a moment

This time will pass
 
I am listening to The Who, Eminence Front. :headbanger: :rockon:

Love the opening line and some awesome riffs.

Great beat.

The sun shines
And people forget
The spray flies as the speedboat glides
And people forget
Forget they're hiding
The girls smile
And people forget
The snow packs, as the skier tracks
And people forget
Forget they're hiding.

Behind an eminence front
Eminence front - It's a put on.

Its an eminence front, its an eminence front - its a put on. (3)

Come on join the party
Dress to kill
Won't you come and join the party
Dress to kill.

The drinks flow
People forget
That big wheel spins, the hair thins
People forget
Forget they're hiding
The news slows
People forget
The shares crash, hopes are dashed
People forget
Forget they're hiding.

Behind an eminence front
Eminence front - it's a put on

Its an eminence front, its an eminence front - its a put on. (3)

Come on join the party
Dress to
Come on join the party
Dress to
Come on join the party
Dress to
Come on join the party
Dress to kill
Dress yourself, dressed to kill.


PS - just did some research and found that Townsend said "this song is about what happens when people do too much white powder, its an Eminence Front."

:/ :shock: errr....

still like the song
 
Donno why, but this really gets a rise out of me and makes me want to dance

Love Comes - The Posies


Oh baby you're too pure
You're too pure for this wicked world
Your data's uncorrupted
But does something skip inside you?

That's what takes up time in this life
Add up the sum of the slights and
Sooner or later
Love comes inside you, gets behind you
Takes you under it's wing
Is it some kind of function?
A reconstruction of what you've always been?

Sense memory, that's so passe
Is that what passes for vision these days?
I engineer no strangeness
I don't have that modern streak
What fills up this space in your life?
Does the sum of the slights hurt?
Sooner or later
Love comes inside you, gets behind you
Takes you under it's wing
Is it some kind of function?
A reconstruction of what you've always been?

Time can't hurt you
I can't be bothered to get you alone in this world
You can do it youself, but make your ends known to your means and your lovers

Drop your guard, get over yourself
Kick your shoes to the floor and
Run from your cover, run to the other side of your head and I'll stand right by you

Love comes inside you, gets behind you
Takes you under it's wing
Is it some kind of function?
A reconstruction of what you've always been?

Love comes inside you, gets behind you
Takes you under it's wing
Is it some kind of function?
A reconstruction of what you've always been?

Time can't hurt you
I can't be bothered to get you alone in this world

Willie Nelson - Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground

If you had not have fallen
then I would not have found you
Angel flying too close to the ground
I patched up your broken wing and hung around for a while
trying to keep your spirits up and your fever down
So leave me if you need to, I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground.

I knew someday that you would fly away
for love's the greatest healer to be found
So leave me if you need to, I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground

Fly on fly on past, the speed of sound
I'd rather see you up than see you down
So leave me if you need to, I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground.

Very nice. I've never heard of these guys. They remind me a bit of American Analog Set

Delerium - Angelicus :)

Warning-symbolism might be disturbing to some?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqUb3L1IRYA&feature=related

Edited to add: The symbolism is a bit disturbing to me. I love the music, and listen to it on my ipod, but I'd never watched the video until I looked it up to post here. :(

Nice mix, good program director. Fits "the mood"

Finally I have been getting out of a rut that has lasted quite some time of not really being into music as I used to be- really wanting to listen to stuff every chance I got. I am a musician for a living so that's sort of more important I guess...anyway....The last week or two that passion has really started to come back and I've heard some great new (to me) tunes and groups.

A Serbian pop song we are doing with a Balkan band I play in (**warning** synthesized horns :rolleyes:) Vesna Zmijanac- Malo po malo
_http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-5HxvWglFY

A brand new song by Mustafa Sabanovic, with the great young Roma singer Jelena Markovic doing backing vocals (really grooving dance tune, also Serbian/Roma- this video is live from a wedding, in the middle of town, where everyone is dancing a circle dance) - Lepotica bori
_http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsIVnlIpOAM

Miles Davis- Wrinkle (This is live in 1991 right before he died! Kind of prog rock funk fusion. On speed.)
_http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mc3kKlLAFFg

A French band I never heard of before, which is so intense and tight! Magma. Here is the first track a friend had some colleagues and I listen to, I think it's the most out there, it's a tribute to Otis Redding. This group is really interesting, most of their other stuff is in this made up language called Kobaïan, which describes this whole sci-fi saga of a post-cataclysmic group of refugees on the planet Kobaïa. Pretty out there, but their stuff is some of the tightest, funkiest stuff I've ever heard. I don't even know how to classify it, it's like prog rock meets a Stravinksy opera meets the funkiest R&B you ever heard, headed by a grandmotherly space alien.

Sinéad O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2 u live


It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Since u took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since u took your love away
Since u been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues
`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u

It's been so lonely without u here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby where did I go wrong
I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they'd only remind me of you
I went to the doctor n'guess what he told me
Guess what he told me
He said girl u better have fun
No matter what u do
But he's a fool
`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u

All the flowers that u planted, mama
In the back yard
All died when u went away
I know that living with u baby was sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give it another try
Nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u
Nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u
Nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u

Tiny Light
(Grace Potter & The Nocturnals)

What will come of us today
What we need we cannot say
It’s been a long long time since I’ve been so afraid
As we all fall down it’s hard to see a brighter day but

I see a tiny light like a flashbulb sparkle in the night
I see a tiny light telling everyone to hold on tight

What will come of all our pride
This house of stone has crumbled from the inside
It’s been a long long war now the battle is drawing near
Closer and closer til it whispers in my ear

I see a tiny light like a flashbulb sparkle in the night
I see a tiny light telling everyone to hold on tight

Bring me back the streets of gold
Give me something warm to hold
Give me love and only love and we will see it shining from above

I see a tiny light like a flashbulb sparkle in the night

I see a tiny light telling everyone to hold on tight

I see a tiny light like a flashbulb sparkle in the night
I see a tiny light telling everyone to hold on tight

I see a tiny light but it’s not going to shine without a fight
