Song Of The Day

Ahimsa - I found an Italian classic that you may know well - but of which I understand not one word ... lol!

And this ... I had to play it twice - it kind of grows on you, the more you listen to it.

 

I am sure there may be nicer Italian songs - no one exceeds Italian Opera for example - but this is lovely!

 

'AHIMSA' - meaning to abstain from harm or violence to all earth's creatures.

Followers of the Hindu faith believe embracing this ideal will lead to a better way of life.

Sarah McLachlan is one of the "must keep" singers for all time ... definitely high on my list:

INGOT excellent choice Andrea Bocelli is a big italian singer and here with Judy Weiss is true is a lovely version.yes ahimsa in Sanskrit mean non-violence.under all points of view:).but mean many more of the absence of violence,infact is a life style were the value fundamentally are the friendly,the gently ,compassion and total absence od desire to kill.each living being,gandhi diffused this important concept very useful especially for me in this time were i saw many hate in many people.is a concept were you help our soul to be clean to negative energy and conseguently we can have a good predisposition with people .is an ancient concept that come to far time ....good for modern and stressy time like now..had the power to free our mind that have naturally in most case a very very predisposition .for .increase war and hate.

another italy button-flower Luciano Pavarotti great,it's normal that you don't understand neither a words, unless you are neapolitan.all the song is in a dialect neapolitan.:rofl:I don't know in Australia but in italy every region have his dialect.infact if i go exemple in Sicily or in Sardinia and find someone that spoke a very tight dialect,me too that are italian i don't understand a words,there are dialect and tight dialect.if like english and scottish,scottish is very different to english,if i talk with someone that spoke scottish i don't understand. from sud to nord italy is full of dialect that if spoken tight are almost incomprensible from same italian .

Don't know if this qualifies as a one-hit-winder, but when I heard "Bertie Higgins" I said: "Bertie Who?"

 

But when I heard the song "Key Largo" it brought back a rush of sentimental memories that tugged at the heart strings all over again!

I then went looking for anything else that Bertie sang well, and came up with this one - and that was about all:

Anyway - smooth music, and nicely presented to the ears.

I love the song " She's Out Of My Life, And I Don't Know Whether To Laugh Or Cry, And It Cuts Like A Knife, She's Out Of My Life....Sung by Micheal Jackson.

Tams - that left me with a feeling that there is unfinished business here.

But I think it was just me wanting to hear more of this stuff. So easy to listen to, and I just sat back, closed my eyes and soaked it up.

 

Thanks for introducing me to this music, and I hope you post more good stuff.

 

Cheers

This Aussie band no longer plays and records, but they left us some great sounds.

 

Here is the story of their sunset tour unique mid-air concert:

 

Powderfinger perform in mid-flight | Perth Now

 

I think this is possibly one of their best tracks, taken from their Album: "Odyssey Number Five" ... but that's just my opinion.

 

Odyssey Number Five won the 2001 ARIA Awards (Australian Recording Industry Association) for "Album of the Year", "Highest Selling Album", "Best Rock Album", "Best Cover Art", and "Best Group".

 

"My Happiness" won the award for "Single of the Year", while "Like a Dog" was nominated for "Highest Selling Single" and "Best Video".

 

At the 2002 ARIA Awards, "The Metre" was nominated for "Best Group".

 

The album was named "Album of the Year" by Rolling Stone Australia readers, with "My Happiness" taking out "Song of the Year" and Powderfinger receiving "Band of the Year".

I don't know much about Boyzone, strangely, though they have been around for the better part of 16 years. But their music can be addictive, and I found myself listening to this one three times (so far).

 

I found it superb on the full screen - the resolution is excellent for that.

If you didn't like those ... stop here.

 

But if you kind of like it, then this is also nice:

 

"Sally Where'd You Get Your Liquor From?"

"Ghost Woman Blues"

Here are the Lyrics:

 

On my way home by that lonesome graveyard

On my way home by that lonesome graveyard

 

A ghost jumps up and says "come on be my man"

 

No ghost at all someone asking for a ride

No ghost at all someone asking for a home

 

She says "come here boy and take me to your room"

 

That young ghost woman she keeps, she keeps me thin

That young ghost woman she keeps, she keeps me thin

 

She spends all the money I make on the L&N

 

I ain't no lamp but my wick is burning low

I ain't no lamp but my wick is burning low

 

Better light me up another before I go

 

On my way home by that lonesome graveyard

On my way home by that lonesome graveyard

 

A ghost jumps up and says "come on be my man"

What a beautiful and brilliant display of talent, passion and love for his chosen instrument.

 

Thanks JEHs - That is one I will replay ... and replay.
