What are you listening to?

Been listening to the indefatigable Max Cavalera. He is a Brazilian musician and metal artist. Here is is a song from his band Soulfly in 2000 titled "Back to the Primitive". The lyrics I think are simple, direct and pertinent to the current times (apologies for the expletives)
His music is unique, and not dark - he infuses his music with tribal percussion's and instruments; his lyrics are anti establishment/Empire and he dedicates most of his albums to God.
Once i recall in an interview he was asked about metal; i can't recall the exact words but he said something like "Metal has this great energy and concept to it - i dont know why i like it lot, maybe we are all Vikings or soldiers in the past and that's why we like it ". Makes sense that metal could be war music; maybe.....just maybe that all those who dig metal out there were soldiers once in their past lives....

That’s is sooo cool. Those kids must have had an amazing time together working to make that production. Fantastic sound and music! Fun,I loved it! That track is a keeper to listen to. Thanks for posting it
Fantastic. Was this a school project? And It was filmed in one shot, it seems. Beautiful!
This piece resonates in my center. The vibrations calm me but also sets off vibrations inside that are almost akin to 'joy', so I guess the title is quite apropos. 
The fact that it is part of a 'good' flash mob adds to the happiness it brings.

I'm completely captivated and obsessed with Angelina Jordan's precocious vocal control, wide range, delightful tone and creative stylings of old standards and modern covers--especially as she displays her talent as a jazz singer with all her improvisations and flourishes. Below are links to my favorites arranged in chronological order of performing age (in parentheses). You're in for a treat, so sit back and enjoy.
(age 7) GLOOMY SUNDAY (her rendition of Billie Holiday lead to her winning "Norway's Got Talent", and could persuade someone to believe in reincarnation!)
(7) WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES
(8) FLY ME TO THE MOON (introduced by Rosie O'Donnell on her TV show)
(9) I PUT A SPELL ON YOU
(10) FEELING GOOD
(13) BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY
Angelina Jordan - Bohemian Rhapsody - America's Got Talent: The Champions One - January 6, 2020
(13) YELLOW BRICK ROAD ("America's Got Talent" final performance)

(14) A MILLION YEARS AGO (stunningly beautiful full of tender emotion)

(14) WHAT IS LIFE? (her first original composition "...maybe life is about painting paintings...we come, we see, we go..."
Angelina Jordan - What Is Life (Acoustic)
FROM HER FACEBOOK PAGE:
In addition to singing, Angelina plays the piano, violin, guitar and flute. She also paints and sews.
In November 2015, Jordan published the book "Between Two Hearts', making her the youngest published writer in Norway. It tells the story of her meeting a poor motherless girl in the Middle East who has no shoes. After a long conversation in which they discuss their dreams in life, she gives the girl her shoes and the girl promises to pray for Jordan to fulfill her dream to become a successful singer. According to Jordan the book is based on a real incident that happened when she was six, which she cites as the reason for always performing barefoot.
The book was illustrated by her grandmother, Iranian artist Mery Zamani. (Angelina has a rich ethnic heritage, which includes a Norwegian mother, and a Japanese-Iranian father).
Here's a picture of her a few years ago wearing a pantsuit she made from fabric designed by her grandmother.

I love watching this vocal instructor get blown away when reviewing Angelina's singing. Her technical comments are very interesting and informative. Video comes up "unavailable" so search for the video by Dr. Marisan: Master Singing

Just discovered Angelina's version of one of the most covered songs ever--with her soulful and special touch.
And then there's this fantastic jazz cover of MIchael Jackson's "Billie Jean"!

My daughter was watching Spirited Away and I was listening to the the final song, Always With Me. It has a very gentle spirit about it which made me want to look up the lyrics. Here they are:
Somewhere a voice calls in the depths of my heart
May I always be dreaming, the dreams that move my heart
So many tears of sadness, uncountable through and through
I know on the other side of them I'll find you
Every time we fall down to the ground, we look up at the blue sky above
We wake to its blueness as for the first time
Though the road is long and lonely, and the end is far away, out of sight
I can with these two arms embrace the light
As I bid farewell, my heart stops in tenderness I feel
My silent empty body begins to listen to what is real
The wonder of the living, the wonder of the dying
The wind, town, and flowers, we all dance one unity
Somewhere a voice calls in the depths of my heart
Keep dreaming your dreams, don't ever let them part
Why speak of all your sadness or of life's painful woes
Instead let the same lips sing a gentle song for you
The whispering voice we never want to forget in each passing memory
Always there to guide you
When a mirror has been broken, shattered pieces scattered on the ground
Glimpses of a new life, reflected all around
Window of beginning, stillness, new light of the dawn
Let my silent empty body be filled and reborn
No need to search outside, nor sail across the sea
Cause here shining inside me, it's right here inside me
I've found a brightness, it's always with me
Somewhere a voice calls in the depths of my heart
May I always be dreaming, the dreams that move my heart
So many tears of sadness, uncountable through and through
I know on the other side of them I'll find you
Every time we fall down to the ground, we look up at the blue sky above
We wake to its blueness as for the first time
Though the road is long and lonely, and the end is far away, out of sight
I can with these two arms embrace the light
As I bid farewell, my heart stops in tenderness I feel
My silent empty body begins to listen to what is real
The wonder of the living, the wonder of the dying
The wind, town, and flowers, we all dance one unity
Somewhere a voice calls in the depths of my heart
Keep dreaming your dreams, don't ever let them part
Why speak of all your sadness or of life's painful woes
Instead let the same lips sing a gentle song for you
The whispering voice we never want to forget in each passing memory
Always there to guide you
When a mirror has been broken, shattered pieces scattered on the ground
Glimpses of a new life, reflected all around
Window of beginning, stillness, new light of the dawn
Let my silent empty body be filled and reborn
No need to search outside, nor sail across the sea
Cause here shining inside me, it's right here inside me
