Haha nice, lighthearted rendition of a fairly dry song, musically speaking. That is the case with Rammstein in general (I mean, you cant expect much nuance from germans..), something I was reminded of recently when listening to old playlists.

It prompted me to queue something similarly folky and soothing, orginal not a cover

 
I would like to share one singer that I had discover recently. She has astonishing voice. Almost, as if it is not from this world. Some info about her, especially is interesting her early life:

Diana Dmitrievna Ankudinova (Russian: Диана Дмитриевна Анкудинова, born May 31, 2003) is a Russian singer. Diana Ankudinova's performances were posted on the NTV web site and the NTV YouTube channel, where they soon gained hundreds of millions of views around the world. Diana Ankudinova sings mostly in Russian, English and French. She has also sung in other languages including Spanish, German and Arabic.

Early life:
At the age of three, Diana was left at a bus stop in the winter with a broken collarbone. Diana's biological aunt rescued Diana from the street, but was unable to care for the traumatized child. Diana's aunt made a statement about the abuse of Diana to the local prosecutor, and it was agreed that the young Diana should be turned over to the care of an orphanage in Primorsky Territory which provided for the care of abandoned young children in the general area.

Children from the orphanage were periodically sent to a sanatorium in Arsenyev to help them regain and maintain their physical and mental health. A massage therapist, Irina Anatolyevna Ponik, who worked at the sanatorium developed a special affection for Diana. The daughter of Irina Ponik, who sometimes visited her mother at work, was the one who first began to insist that her mother adopt Diana.

In 2008, Irina Ponik filed the necessary paperwork to assume formal legal guardianship of Diana Ankudinova with the territorial department of guardianship and trusteeship. The new family lived in Arsenyev. In 2012, the family moved far away to the city of Tolyatti in the Samara Oblast of southwestern Russia. The move to Tolyatti was mostly due to Diana's fears that her biological mother might try to find and abuse Diana or even attempt to regain custody of Diana. These fears were so intense that they had been significantly affecting young Diana's mental health.

Mark Knopfler - "Ahead Of The Game"​


It was nothing but the hits in a room downtown
They're noisy as hell but nice
People don't usually get to play in there
More than a time or twice
You had your a regular spot
They were even advertising your name
Better than the usual thing you got
Staying just ahead of the game
Ahead of the game

And I can't tell you one thing new
About playing for the door
Some of my dream is back there too
With the sawdust on the floor
We're worn out and weary, all of us
But we know why we came
Banged up and battered like this old bus
Staying just ahead of the game
Ahead of the game

The sky's as big as nowhere
Which is where we've been
Left a dream behind there somewhere
You've got to have a dream

I've gave your buddy a ride to the train
He was telling me he'd be back
There was a red light shining, love in vain
When we rolled across the tracks
Barista bartender selling beat-up car
Needs a ticket for a bus or a plane
Singer songwriter heading for home
Staying just ahead of the game
Ahead of the game
 
A bit of jazzy hip hop from the BNH and Gangstarr from back in the 90s when rapping was just coming into full bloom.


Also a good spirited track from Genaside 2, who mainly focused on DnB, Just as Rougher.

 
A serious song about how it's important to stay true to yourself, For Your Life by Led Zeppelin. Never fake it in your life, you'll lose track of your true self. Considering just how vapid most music is in terms of dealing with psychological reality, this is a song which bucks the trend. Face reality head-on, if you suffer and fall you'll be stronger for the experience. Lessons take many forms too.

 
I came across Jacob Collier last night and realize others have posted his stuff in the past. The video I watched was from the end of a concert where he conducts the whole audience in the most beautiful sounds, like I imagine the heavenly spheres would sound. The link is a video I came across today where he sings one of his composition accompanying himself on the guitar with a much smaller audience. An astonishing talent has this young man! (almost 8 minutes)
With a larger audience: (5 min)
