What are you listening to?

Heard this on the radio the other day. Very topical in view of what's going on in the Gulf of Mexico at the moment.



Marvin Gaye Mercy, Mercy Me (the ecology)

Oh, oh, mercy, mercy me
Oh, things ain't what they used to be, no, no
Where did all the blue skies go?
Poison is the wind that blows from the north and south and east

Oh, mercy, mercy me
Oh, things ain't what they used to be, no, no
Oil wasted on the oceans and upon our seas fish full of mercury

Oh, oh, mercy, mercy me
Oh, things ain't what they used to be, no, no
Radiation underground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live near by are dying


Oh, mercy, mercy me
Oh, things ain't what they used to be
What about this overcrowded land?
How much more abuse from man can she stand?

Hoo - oh no - oh my my my

(M. Gaye) 1971

Eva Cassidy
She has an astonishingly clear and exquisitely beautiful voice. Her own songwriting is wonderful and she revitalizes traditional tunes and standards with her powerful and soulful renditions.

Songbird, Time After Time, and Wonderful World are my favorite Album CDs of hers.

I couldn’t possibly pick a favorite song by Eva but her version of "How Can I Keep From Singing" and her original tune "I Know You By Heart" are two that are right up there. You can listen to her music on YouTube—Enjoy.

"Love Is The Seventh Wave"
by Sting

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=az6AZNHHnmo&feature=related

In the empire of the senses
You're the queen of all you survey
All the cities all the nations
Everything that falls your way
There is a deeper wave than this
That you don't understand
There is a deeper wave than this
Tugging at your hand

Every ripple on the ocean
Every leaf on every tree
Every sand dune in the desert
Every power we never see
There is a deeper wave than this
Swelling in the world
There is a deeper wave than this
Listen to me girl

Feel it rising in the cities
Feel it sweeping over land
Over borders, over frontiers
Nothing will its power withstand
There is no deeper wave than this
Rising in the world
There is no deeper wave than this
Listen to me girl

All the bloodshed, all the anger
All the weapons, all the greed
All the armies, all the missiles
All the symbols of our fear
There is a deeper wave than this
Rising in the world
There is a deeper wave than this
Listen to me girl

At the still point of destruction
At the centre of the fury
All the angels, all the devils
All around us can't you see
There is a deeper wave than this
Rising in the land
There is a deeper wave than this
Nothing will withstand

I say love is the seventh wave
 
Thanks to treesparrow for mentioning the wonderfully prescient Marvin Gaye song "Mercy Mercy Me"! Anyone who likes that song should like the other songs in "What's Going On," the great album that contains "Mercy Mercy Me"! Check it out--even though "What's Going On" is almost 40 years old, I'm pretty certain that it's still in print. It's one of the great albums of all time...

I dont know about the translation but everytime I listen to this song it seems to calm me down immensely in whatever mood I'm in.

ELO = Eldorado {Complete Version}

Here it comes, another lonely day, playing the game,
I'll sail away on a voyage of no return to see
if eternal life is meant to be
and if I find the key to the eternal dream.

The painted ladies of the Avalon play in the sun,
take to the road, to the North there lies the chills of cold,
to the South there lies the tales untold.
But in between there lies the place to close your eyes.

And I will stay, I'll not be back, Eldorado.
I will be free of the world, Eldorado.

Say goodbye, the city's heroes sing, bird on the wing
feel, feel so free through the life upon the rooftop haze,
all the cheating and the broken days.
So through it all I see there's nothing left for me.

So I will stay, I'll not be back, Eldorado.
I will be free of the world, Eldorado.

Sitting here on top of everywhere, what do I care.
Days never end, I know the voyage's end will soon be here,
no eternal life is here for me.
And now I found the key to the eternal dream.

Then I will stay, I'll not be back, Eldorado.
I will be free of the world, Eldorado.
Then I will stay.

Electric Light Orchestra : Mission (a World Record)

For may days we travelled from a distant place and time,
To reach a place they call the planet Earth,
There was to be a celebration,
On the mission of the sacred heart.

The planet Earth from way up there is beautiful and blue
And floating softly through a rainbow,
But when you touch down things look different here,
At the mission of the sacred heart.

CHORUS
Watching all the days roll by
Who are you and who am I?

On a dirty worn-out sidewalk, sits a mother with a baby,
In her vale of tears she sees no rainbow
And someone's singing from a window
In the mission of the sacred heart.

CHORUS -- repeat

There's a building on a corner, in a city, in a land,
On a place they call the planet Earth,
My orders are to sit here and watch the world go by,
From the mission of the sacred heart.

Jimi Hendrix - The Wind Cries Mary

AFTER ALL JACKS ARE IN THEIR BOXES
AND THE CLOWNS HAVE ALL GONE TO BED
YOU CAN HEAR HAPPINESS STAGGERING ON DOWN THE STREET
FOOTPRINTS DRESSED IN RED

AND THE WIND WHISPERS MARY

A BROOM IS DREARILY SWEEPING
UP THE BROKEN PIECES OF YESTERDAY'S LIFE
SOMEWHERE A QUEEN IS WEEPING
SOMEWHERE A KING HAS NO WIFE

AND THE WIND CRIES MARY

THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS THEY TURN A BLUE TOMORROW
AND SHINE THERE EMPTINESS DOWN ON MY BED
THE TINY ISLAND SAGS DOWNSTREAM
CAUSE THE LIFE THAT LIVED IS DEAD

AND THE WIND SCREAMS MARY

WILL THE WIND EVER REMEMBER
THE NAMES IT HAS BLOWN IN THE PAST
AND WITH ITS CRUTCH ITS OLD AGE AND ITS WISDOM
IT WHISPERS "NO, THIS WILL BE THE LAST"

AND THE WIND CRIES MARY

Lyrics to Stuck On Replay : Scooter

Stuck on you
I got this feeling down deep in my soul that I just can't lose
Guess I'm on my way,
Mighty glad you stayed

Alright now, come on!
Gotta live for the moment, everyone could be the last
Might be no tomorrow, might be no past
Too fast things will change, what you never expect when it's getting strange
He say, she say turn the tune to replay, it's time and today got big like a DJ
He say, she say turn the tune to replay , try it today - in a different way, yeah

Stuck on you
I got this feeling down deep in my soul that I just can't lose
Guess I'm on my way. Needed a friend
And the way I feel now I guess I'll be with you 'til the end
Guess I'm on my way, mighty glad you stayed

Alright, praise the science!
Keep it up, keep it up, keep it up!
Yeah!
Right!

Vicious is the sight, but deepness is the beauty
What you once feared now makes you free
Yeah - I won't hesitate, wanna demonstrate what I create
He say, she say turn the tune to replay, it's time and today got big like a DJ
He say, she say turn the tune to replay , try it today - in a different way, yeah

Stuck on you.
I got this feeling down deep in my soul that I just can't lose
Guess I'm on my way
Needed a friend
And the way I feel now I guess I'll be with you 'til the end
Guess I'm on my way... Replay! ...mighty glad you stayed.

Praise the science.
Wicked, yeah!
Alright now... are you ready for one more time, yeah!

Needed a friend
And the way I feel now I guess I'll be with you 'til the end
Guess I'm on my way, mighty glad you stayed


:wow: :jawdrop: :headbanger:
 
I love when u can see a pure music creativity. Not long ago we look at some u-tube music stuff with friends and some good-creative (IMO) things pop out. The first guy named Dub FX make his whole music with own vocals....using a lot of digital devices - making loops, echo effects and a lot more.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc67C94wSx0 Dub Fx - Society gates

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiInBOVHpO8&feature=channel Dub Fx - Love Someone

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhBoR_tgXCI&feature=channel Dub Fx - Flow feat. Woodnote

And other cool thing.....a Hang Drum...thats some thing to play:P

Colin Hay - Overkill

Was listening to the 80s-90s radio station when this song played. One of my favorite for its fun depiction of the racing predator mind. So I thought that perhaps posting the song with a clip from Scrubs will be even better depiction of this ridiculous thinking. :)

The Tide is Turning-- Roger Waters
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3DRv_ENq3s&feature=related

I used to think the world was flat
Rarely threw my hat into the crowd
I felt I had used up my quota of yearning
Used to look in on the children at night
In the glow of their Donald Duck light
And frighten myself with the thought of my little ones burning
But, oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
The tide is turning

Satellite buzzing through the endless night
Exclusive to moonshots and world title fights
Jesus Christ, imagine what it must be earning
Who is the strongest
Who is the best
Who holds the aces
The East
Or the West
This is the crap our children are learning
But oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
The tide is turning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning

Now the satellite's confused
'Cause on Saturday night
The airwaves were full of compassion and light
And his silicon heart
Warmed to the sight of a billion candles burning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
The tide is turning Billy

I'm not saying that the battle is won
But on Saturday night all those kids in the sun
Wrested technology's sword from the hand of the war lords
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
The tide is turning Sylvester
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
