James Brown - Living In America

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHqUipinDyw&feature=player_embedded

Yeah, uh! Get up, now! Ow! Knock out this!

Super highways, coast to coast,
easy to get anywhere
On the transcontinental overload,
just slide behind the wheel
How does it feel

When there's no destination - that's too far
And somewhere on the way,
you might find out who you are

Living in America - eye to eye, station to station
Living in America - hand to hand, across the nation
Living in America - got to have a celebration

Rock my soul

Smokestack, fatback,
many miles of railroad track
All night radio, keep on runnin'
through your rock 'n' roll soul
All night diners keep you awake,
hey, on black coffee and a hard roll

You might have to walk the fine line,
you might take the hard line
But everybody's working overtime

Living in America - eye to eye, station to station
Living in America - hand to hand, across the nation
Living in America - got to have a celebration

I live in America, help me out,
but I live in America,
wait a minute

You might not be looking for the promised land,
but you might find it anyway
Under one of those old familiar names
Like New Orleans (New Orleans),
Detroit City (Detroit City), Dallas (Dallas)
Pittsburg P.A. (Pittsburg P.A.),
New York City (New York City)
Kansas City (Kansas City),
Atlanta (Atlanta), Chicago and L.A.

Living in America - hit me
Living in America - yeah,
I walk in and out
Living in America

I live in America - state lines,
gonna make the prime, that
I live in America - hey,
I know what it means, I

Living in America - Eddie Murphy, eat your heart out
Living in America - hit me, I said now, eye to eye,
station to station
Living in America - so nice, with your bare self
Living in America - I feel good!​

The Hidden Hand - Desensitized

Sad times are here today all around
Strange vibe's here to stay to bring us down
For the people they don't care
pushing all into despair

No, it can't be true.
It couldn't happen to you
Hey, it must be clear
They'll try to keep us in fear

Disinformation is the tool
Media controlled, divide and rule
Anxious minds their questions lead
to the structure of deceit

No, it won't be true
Don't let it happen to you
Hey, it must be clear
They'll never keep us in fear

A beautiful romantic duet by Barbara Streisand and Barry Gibb. I remember listening to 'Guilty' by Streisand and Gibb in the early eighties and loving it, and feeling then that it was a guilty pleasure because it wasn't real rock music! Anyway, this is a beautiful duet.

Hi. i like old school heavy metal and among they there is Accept - a German band.
The song is called "Balls to the wall" - http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=balls%20to%20the%20wall

The text is interesting as they music is.

Balls to the wall

Too many slaves in this world
Die by torture and pain
Too many people do not see
They're killing themselves - going insane

Too many people do not know
Bondage is over the human race
They believe slaves always lose
And this fear keeps them down

Watch the damned (God bless ya)
They're gonna break their chains (hey)
No, you can't stop them (God bless ya)
They're coming to get you
And then you'll get your

Balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall
You'll get your balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall - balls to the wall

You may screw their brains
You may sacrifice them, too
You may mortify their flesh
You may rape them all

One day the tortured stand up
And revolt against the evil
They make you drink your blood
And tear yourself to pieces

You better watch the damned (God bless ya)
They're gonna break their chains (hey)
No, you can't stop them (God bless ya)
They're coming to get you
And then you'll get your

Balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall
You'll get your balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall - balls to the wall

Come on man, let's stand up all over the world
Let's plug a bomb in everyone's arse
If they don't keep us alive - we're gonna fight for the right

Build a wall with the bodies of the dead - and you're saved
Make the world scared - come on, show me the sign of victory
Sign of victory - sign of victory

You better watch the damned (God bless ya)
They're gonna break their chains (hey)
No, you can't stop them (God bless ya)
They're coming to get you
And then you'll get your

Balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall

"Happy Christmas (War is Over)"
John Lennon (1971)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYhaZ2pV0CQ&feature=related

So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
A new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Christmas (War is Over, if you want it, war is over now)repeat with verse
For weak and for strong
The rich and the poor ones
The road is so long
So happy Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Christmas (War is over, if you want it, war is over now) repeat with verse
And what have we done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
And we hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
War is over, if you want it
War is over now

"Light Years" - Kylie Minogue

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Listen can you hear the distance calling
Far away but will be with you soon
Rocket into outer space in orbit
Take us to the pop stars on the moon

Ah, ah, ah, travel in light years
Ah, ah, ah, travel in light years

Have yourself a taste of foreign glamour
Speeding on our way to something new
Missing for a night but gone forever
But they are here to take good care of you

Ah, ah, ah, travel in light years
Ah, ah, ah, travel in light years
Ah, ah, ah, travel in light years
Ah, ah, ah, travel in light years

[Spoken:]
Please fasten your seat belts
My name is Kylie,
I'll be your purser
The exits are in the front and the rear of the craft

Get up to get down at discoteca
Take a breath and take the plunge my dear
Maybe things that you don't know are better
I'll take you in my capsule out of here

Ah, ah, ah, travel in light years
Ah, ah, ah, travel in light years
Ah, ah, ah, travel in light years
Ah, ah, ah, travel in light years

Thank you for flying KM air
We hope had a pleasant flight
Please fly with us again

Leon Russell A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall Lyrics
Songwriters: Dylan, Bob, Pete Seeger

Wiki

Analysis
On September 22, 1962, Dylan appeared for the first time at Carnegie Hall, part of an all-star hootenanny.[1][2] His three-song set included the first public performance of "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall"[3][4] a complex and powerful song built upon the question and answer refrain pattern of the traditional British ballad "Lord Randall", published by Francis Child.

One month later, on October 22, U.S. President John F. Kennedy appeared on national television to announce the discovery of Soviet missiles on the island of Cuba, initiating the Cuban Missile Crisis. In the sleeve notes on the Freewheelin' album, Nat Hentoff would quote Dylan as saying that he wrote "A Hard Rain" in response to the Cuban Missile Crisis: "Every line in it is actually the start of a whole new song. But when I wrote it, I thought I wouldn't have enough time alive to write all those songs so I put all I could into this one." Author Ian MacDonald described "A Hard Rain" as one of the most idiosyncratic protest songs ever written.

In fact, Dylan had written the song more than a month before the crisis broke. However, the song has remained relevant through the years as it has a broader sweep; the dense imagery suggests injustice, suffering, pollution and warfare.

Some have suggested that the refrain of the song refers to nuclear fallout, however Dylan disputes that this was a specific reference. In a radio interview with Studs Terkel in 1963, Dylan said,

"No, it's not atomic rain, it's just a hard rain. It isn't the fallout rain. I mean some sort of end that's just gotta happen... In the last verse, when I say, 'the pellets of poison are flooding the waters', that means all the lies that people get told on their radios and in their newspapers"[5]

Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?

Oh, where have you been, my darling young one?
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains,
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways,
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests,
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans,
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard,
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard,
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, what did you see, my darling young one?
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it,
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it,
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin',
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin',
I saw a white ladder all covered with water,
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken,
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children,
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
And what did you hear, my darling young one?
I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin',
Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world,
Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin',
Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin',
Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin',
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter,
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley,
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
Oh, who did you meet, my blue-eyed son?
Who did you meet, my darling young one?
I met a young child beside a dead pony,
I met a white man who walked a black dog,
I met a young woman whose body was burning,
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow,
I met one man who was wounded in love,
I met another man who was wounded with hatred,
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
Oh, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, what'll you do now, my darling young one?
I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin',
I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest,
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty,
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters,
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison,
Where the executioner's face is always well hidden,
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten,
Where black is the color, where none is the number,
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it,
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it,
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',
But I'll know my song well before I start singin',
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

To add to the Christmas spirit - I've been listening to 'Spotlight on Christmas' by Rufus Wainwright;

People love the working man
Who does the best that he can
But don't forget all the horses and toys
Never could fix the poor little rich boys
People say they love the maid
Who sweats and toils just like a slave
But don't forget all the diamonds and pearls
Never could fix the poor little rich girls

You can measure it in blood
You can measure it in mud
Let us say for these twelve days
Put the measuring away

Cause it's Christmas
And the spotlight's shining on Christmas
And the spotlight's shining on us

People love and people hate
People go and people wait
But, don't forget Jesus, Mary, and Joseph
Once were a family poor but rich in hope, yeah
Don't forget Jesus, Mary, and Joseph
Running from the law, King Herod had imposeth
And they were each one quite odd
And mensch, a virgin, and a God
But don't forget that what kept them aflow
Floating through the desert doesnt take a boat no
Don't forget that what kept them above
Is unconditional love

Was at first ignorant about sea change being related to global warming, but looked it up and noticed it wasn't so.
I love the sound, the sadness of the song but with some hope:

Greensleeves, played by my daughter Gabrielle on her piano. What more can a father do when is 9 years old little girl is discovering her talents but to watch, listen and encourage her.

Ever since I first heard one of our international students playing George Winston's Longing/Love on our dorm piano back when I was a college freshman, I've been a huge fan -- it's still my favorite song of his.

However, more appropriate to the season are a few of his songs from his December album:

Variations on Pachelbel's Canon
The Holly and the Ivy
The Carol of the Bells

Color Don't Change

Images cut up in your head
A clone in raspberry fields
You try your best to change the way you're made
but your color don't change at all

You've got to get it away, get it away
the micro-clones that chain to the bitter and grey
You should get out the way, get out the maze to
breathe because your taste is the one and the same

This may be why
You have no reason for living

Because your color don't change, color don't change
Your color don't change, color don't change...

You're spitting bits of verbal out but you don't really have a clue
You should create your life with what's in you
So what are you gonna do?

Yeah your brain is living in a dream
Changing it all it's all the same...

Because your color don't change, color don't change
Your color don't change, color don't change...

You know you gotta be free

I have been listening not to Tomita...but Tomatito!

He is a great flemenco guitarist. He is famous for performing with El Cameron de la Isla, the Shrimp (of the island). Here is a really nice song with his daughter, Mari Angeles.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8Q_1XCzY2E

I don't speak Spanish but here are lyrics

Siempre me dices lo mismo
y a mí lo mismo me da.
Tú lloras cómo los niños
de la pena que te da...

¿Dónde está tu cariño?
que no lo puedo encontrar

Yo no pensaba que tu amor
tantos problemas me iba a dar
pero así lo ha kerio Dios
pa´ que darle má vuelta a la vida
si al final tú serás mía...
