2000 Light Years From Home : Rolling Stones

Sun turnin' 'round with graceful motion
We're setting off with soft explosion
Bound for a star with fiery oceans
It's so very lonely, you're a hundred light years from home

Freezing red deserts turn to dark
Energy here in every part
It's so very lonely, you're six hundred light years from home

It's so very lonely, you're a thousand light years from home
It's so very lonely, you're a thousand light years from home

Bell flight fourteen you now can land
See you on Aldebaran, safe on the green desert sand
It's so very lonely, you're two thousand light years from home
It's so very lonely, you're two thousand light years from home

A very untypical - but still enjoyable - stones track from their hippie phase (1967), here it is on youtube with suitable psychedelic background and hisses and crackles from a vinyl recording. :)

I listen to a lot of well-composed video game music. Here's a very soothing track from Zelda: Twilight Princess:

Kyuss - Odyssey

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NHWF1cCRw0

Take one to the mountain
Take one to the sea
Take one to the belly of the beast
and then you'll take one with me

Shut it, shut it on

Freezing in the fires
when I utter howl your name
once you return from the belly of the beast
you're never quite the same

Shut it, shut it on,
Shut it, shut it on,

fire on the mountain
and it rages inside of your soul
the fire inside the belly of the beast
well it burns, then wraps your soul

Shut it, shut it on

A nice rock ballad with simple guitar chords:

You Could Be Happy Chords by Snow Patrol

D 1 bar A 1 bar G 2bars x4


D A G
You could be happy and I won't know
D A G
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go
D A G
And all the things that I wish I had not said
D A G
Are played on lips 'til it's madness in my head

Em D G
Is it too late to remind you how we were?
Em D G
But not our last days of silent, screaming blur
Em D G
Most of what I remember makes me sure
D A G
I should have stopped you from walking out the door

D A G
You could be happy, I hope you are
D A G
You made me happier than I'd been by far
D A G
Somehow everything I own smells of you
D A G
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true



Em D G
Do the things that you always wanted to
Em D G
Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do
Em D G
More than anything I want to see you go
D A G
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world

Lamb & Lion.

I predict a decline in the price
of lamb & lion international
The lamb's gone missing and
the lion's sleeping peacefully
We've lost our quorum

In respect, second thought,
this merger was established rather hastily
We thought we read it in the book
but we couldn't find the verse now
The storm clouds roll in

Bow your head to the lion
Chant the name of the lion
Burn the mane of the lion into
Every mountaintop

Build a cage for the lamb
Dig a grave for the lamb
Set a place for the lamb
On every altar
 
"What Would You Say" Dave Matthews Band

Up and down the puppies' hair
Fleas and ticks jump everywhere
Cause of original sin

Down the hill fell Jack and Jill
And you came tumbling after
'Cause of original sin

Rip away the tears
Drink a hope for happy years
And you may find
A lifetime's passed you by

What would you say
If you a monkey on a string
If you a doggie on a chain
What would you say

I was there when the bear
Ate his head, thought it was a candy
Everyone goes in the end

Knock knock on the door
Who's it for, nobody in here
Look in the mirror my friend

I don't understand at best
I cannot speak for all the rest
In the morning rise a lifetime's passed me by

What would you say
(don't' drop the big one)
If you a monkey on a string
(Don't cut my life line)
If you a doggie on a chain
(Don't bite the mailman)
What would you say

Every dog has it's day every day has it's way
Of being forgotten- "Mom it's my birthday"

What would you say
(don't' drop the big one)
If you a monkey on a string
(Don't cut my life line)
If you a doggie on a chain
(Don't bite the mailman)
What would you say

I was introduced to the music of David Hykes recently and really enjoy listening to it.

Sample on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4j1wmleD1eU&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL
and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mc5lwpnoOmQ&feature=related

I guess he's been around a while, there is info on wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hykes said:
one of the earliest modern western pioneers of so-called overtone singing, and has developed since 1975 a comprehensive approach to contemplative music which he calls Harmonic Chant (harmonic singing).
. . .
completed twenty years of spiritual studies in the Gurdjieff Foundations in New York, San Francisco, and Paris, as a student of Gurdjieff's successors Lord John Pentland and Dr. Michel de Salzmann.

allows the singer to create apparently more than one pitch at the same time (the fundamental and a selected overtone)

His web page, http://www.harmonicworld.com includes links to a youtube segment of the movie MEETINGS WITH REMARKABLE MEN.
 
Three Birds of Rhiannon (aka Maker of the Birds)

Written by Stevie Nicks.

A bird that is not mine...
Three birds that belong to her
One emerald-green,
One snow-white,
One golden, flashing like a
Sunbeam through the night...
One golden, flashing like a
Sunbeam through the night...
When at first he saw her,
It seemed she had no name...

She sat alone, and it seemed to him
that the light and her face were the same...
Her hair shone,
Streams of blonde and gold...
He thought, "Maybe...
I'm going insane..."

Her gown was no more
then the water could cover...
This time would not come again...
And the white mare bent,
and the Lady asked,

Take my wisdom with you,
I shall ride...
If you kill the dark hold of Death,
Someday, I shall be your wife...
Someday I shall be your wife..."

And the birds are still singing...
and the song is now sweeping,
Like a silver...
A silver shimmering flood...

"For you Rhiannon,
I will fight,
I will fight the world...
For you, Rhiannon
I would fight,
I would fight the world...
For you are in my blood...
For you...
For you are in my blood...
