Sarah Slean...does she do that song that goes
"If I could have just one little peice of that I'd be soooo...
come over to the big time.
come over to the real world
We could get all dressed up and be like a talk show."

Or something like that?

I saw a video once, and I loved the song. Never heard hide nor hair of her again, tho. Weird. Such a good song. Didn't pay the Canadian Broadcasting Network enough I guess.

A Sort of Fairy Tale...totally luv that song...

Download this one -

Sick and Beautiful ~ Artificial Joy Club.

Very funky tune. I guarentee you'll enjoy it. Trust me!

Pix, you may even want to add it to your bag of tricks.

Hi all! I'm trying to get to know some people around here, so I hope you don't mind me listing some of my fav songs...(an irresistible topic for a piscean!) Sunscorpion, I'm listening to the Verve now...since you mentioned them!

The Moody Blues-Tuesday Afternoon and The Candle of Life

Led Zeppelin-Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You (just something about that dark sounding acoustic guitar)

Alice In Chains-Would?

Nirvana-Lounge Act

Pink Floyd-Comfortably Numb

well, that's a small percentage I can list off the top of my head. Later!

I am just gonna say a few songs I love off the top of my head.

At the moment I am loving CALL ON ME by Eric Prydz. It's a dance song but it gets you goovy and it's great.

Norah Jones- Don't Know Why. What a voice and that song gets into my veins.

Coldplay-Yellow. One of the best love songs ever to be recorded.

Pearljam-Last Kiss. What a tragic and sad song.

Aghhh so many songs to mention.

Christmas Day by Dido (really love the music)

The young gentleman came riding past
on a snow-blue winter's day
He asked to drink by our fire and
I was pleased to let him stay
He drank there quietly for a while
and then he turned and said to me

Your eyes are green
Like summer grass
Your lips are red
like a fresh-cut rose
Your hair is soft
like an Irish stream
And your voice is filled with sweet beauty

And the last words I heard him say were
I shall return for you my love on Christmas Day

And the night will come but I won't sleep
as I watch the stars that lead him
I cannot place where he is
but still my heart goes with him
I'm saving all my Sunday clothes for the day
that I'll be leaving
Father knows
My sister knows

And my friends
They're happy for me
And the priest he says
you should thank God
for the blessing of such beauty

And the last words I heard him say were
I shall return for you my love on Christmas Day
I shall return for you my love on Christmas Day

On Christmas Day
I shall return for you
My love...

And the last words I heard him say
Were the last words I ever heard him say

I shall return for you my love on Christmas Day
I said I will return on Christmas Day
And yes, I shall return on Christmas day
I shall return, for you, on Christmas Day
My love
I will return on Christmas Day
I shall return ,my love, on Christmas Day
On Christmas Day

The radio was on and this song came on... AstroJunkie have u heard it? Reminded me of ya!!!

-"Gloria by Patti Smith

Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine
meltin' in a pot of thieves
wild card up my sleeve
thick heart of stone
my sins my own
they belong to me, me

people say "beware!"
but I don't care
the words are just
rules and regulations to me, me

I-I walk in a room, you know I look so proud
I'm movin' in this here atmosphere, well, anything's allowed
and I go to this here party and I just get bored
until I look out the window, see a sweet young thing
leanin' on the parking meter
oh, she looks so good, oh, she looks so fine
and I got this crazy feeling and then I'm gonna ah-ah make her mine
ooh I'll put my spell on her

here she comes
walkin' down the street
here she comes
comin' through my door
here she comes
crawlin' up my stair
here she comes
waltzin' through the hall
in a pretty red dress
and oh, she looks so good, oh, she looks so fine
and I got this crazy feeling that I'm gonna ah-ah make her mine

and then I hear this knockin' on my door
hear this knockin' on my door
and I look up into the big tower clock
and say, "oh my God here's midnight!"
and my baby is walkin' through the door
leanin' on my couch she whispers to me and I take the big plunge
and oh, she was so good and oh, she was so fine
and I'm gonna tell the world that I just ah-ah made her mine

and I said darling, tell me your name, she told me her name
she whispered to me, she told me her name
and her name is, and her name is, and her name is, and her name is G-L-O-R-I-A
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria

I was at the stadium
There were twenty thousand girls called their names out to me
Marie and Ruth but to tell you the truth
I didn't hear them I didn't see
I let my eyes rise to the big tower clock
and I heard those bells chimin' in my heart
going ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong.
ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong
counting the time, then you came to my room
and you whispered to me and we took the big plunge
and oh. you were so good, oh, you were so fine
and I gotta tell the world that I make her mine make her mine
make her mine make her mine make her mine make her mine

G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria,
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria

and the tower bells chime, "ding dong" they chime
they're singing, "Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine."

Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A, G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria....."


Oh and as a new addition to the fave songs, 'High' by Sarah Slean, and thankyou so much Pixel Pixie for introducing me to her!! Its a really lovely, soft, mysterious, romantic song, and I love her voice and also the beautiful violin playing too.

So, I tumbled across this song the other day. VH2 is doing this ''Indie 500'' thing, and this song came on... I hadn't heard it in a while, and it literally brought me to a halt.. I stood there gobsmacked by the beauty of it. There is such an eerie quality about his voice, and then come the cresendoes of an almost orchestra... and I was a mass of emotion filled flesh. Thought I'd share it with y'all...

Mercury Rev-- The Dark is Rising

I dreamed of you on my farm
I dreamed of you in my arms
But dreams are always wrong
I never dreamed I'd hurt you
I never dreamed I'd lose you
In my dreams, I'm always strong
And now the creek is rising
And all my bridges burnt
I always dreamed of big crowds
Plooms of smoke and high clouds
But dreams don't last for long
I have my suspicions
When the stars are in position
All will be revealed
But I know that until then
Unless the stars surrender
All will be concealed
And now the snow is falling
And all my fences torn
I know you need someone
And I can hear someone
Somewhere in this song
I dreamed that I was walking
And the two of us were talking
Of all lives mysteries
But words that flow between friends
Winding streams, without end
I wanted you to see
But it can seem surprising
When you find yourself alone
And now the dark is rising
And a brand new moon is born
I always dreamed I'd love you
I never dreamed I'd lose you
In my dreams, I'm always strong

-------------------------------

Dammit, now I'm crying...

For some reason today, I felt like puttin' on a little Alanis, circa 'when-I-was-fourteen' and singing at the top of my lungs in the shower... This song always seems to describe me pretty well... funny how a song can speak to you like that, even when you have NOTHING in common with the person who wrote it!

Alanis' stats: Gem sun; Scorpio moon; Leo rising; Mars and Mercury in Cancer, and Venus in Taurus.

"All I Really Want"

Do I stress you out
My sweater is on backwards and inside out
And you say how appropriate
I don't want to dissect everything today
I don't mean to pick you apart you see
But I can't help it
There I go jumping before the gunshot has gone off
Slap me with a splintered ruler
And it would knock me to the floor if I wasn't there already
If only I could hunt the hunter

And all I really want is some patience
A way to calm the angry voice
And all I really want is deliverance
Do I wear you out
You must wonder why I'm so relentless and all strung out
I'm consumed by the chill of solitary
I'm like Estella
I like to reel it in and then spit it out
I'm frustrated by your apathy
And I am frightened by the corrupted ways of this land
If only I could meet the Maker

And I am fascinated by the spiritual man
I am humbled by his humble nature
What I wouldn't give to find a soulmate
Someone else to catch this drift
And what I wouldn't give to meet a kindred
Enough about me, let's talk about you for a minute
Enough about you, let's talk about life for a while
The conflicts, the craziness and the sound of pretenses
Falling all around...all around
Why are you so petrified of silence
Here can you handle this?

Did you think about your bills, your ex, your deadlines
Or when you think you're gonna die
Or did you long for the next distraction
And all I need know is intellectual intercourse
A soul to dig the hole much deeper
And I have no concept of time other than it is flying
If only I could kill the killer

All I really want is some peace man
a place to find a common ground
And all I really want is a wavelength
All I really want is some comfort
A way to get my hands untied
And all I really want is some justice...


-----------------------------------
I love that lovely Canuk!!

yes, wish you were here and anything by led zeplin, I think much of the music of that era rings a tune in our spirits because the aquarian age was so embraced.

Oh, I agree with with dorkus_malorkus, Across the Universe is a beautiful tune.


Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai guru de va om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million
eyes,
That call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they
Tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Jai guru de va om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Sounds of laughter shades of earth are ringing
Through my open views inviting and inciting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a
Million suns, it calls me on and on
Across the universe
Jai guru de va om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

As I'm in a cynical state of mind these days regarding my love life and what-not, and I need the music to match, I've been re-listening to a bunch of my old Smashing Pumpkins CDs lately. (Gawd I miss them *cries*) Especially the song 'Ava Adore', which I've been playing over and over on a loop as I just think it's one of their best tunes ever. Lyric-wise it's a rather dark song obviously about a twisted and obsessive love that only a Venus/Mars/Neptune-in-Scorpio person such as myself could understand.

Hey, You have written great lovely songs.
I like Louis Armstrong, Eros Ramazzoti and so on, but the song which touch my heart deepest is.....Actually I don't know its title! It is strange,isn't it? It is BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB's Song. They are Cubans and they had a concert here and of course I went. They presented their new Album. I just have to say that the Vocal - Ibrahim Ferrer is 83 years old. He is the oldest from the others in the group. But the rest are not younger too (except two backvocalgirls ).All from the group have been playing through hole their live. Ibrahim Ferrer even was born in a bar where his mother was a jazz singer.
The hole concert was just great!But there was a song. Oh, what a song. It was played just on the piano and the incredible voice of Ferrer! I couldn't understand any word because he was singing in Spanish. But the spirit of this song touch so deep my heart that I almost feel pain!It has never happened to me before. I didn't need to understand nothing...the words and its message just come to me and I was feeling their strength and love... In the end of this song everybody stood up on their feet and applauded. I couldn't do nothing. I was just sitting under the spell... I needed a few minutes to get back from the heavens.
Probably the song was so moving because of the live concert. But when s.b attribute his heart to doing sth which he loves, no doubt that every body will feel this Love.
So, thats my favorite song!

P.S. If you come across Buena Vista Sosial club, pleace just hear a few songs.

I also love 'Losing my Religion' by REM. The intro gets me all the time.

'Oh, Life, is bigger, its bigger than you and you are not me...lala la la ti dada'

I just want to put down a line from the song "When I Was Young" by The Animals that when I first heard it, it was like an epiphany to me....

"When I was young it was more important, pain more painful but I laughed much louder"

Man that is so true. When I was a teenager little things hurt me much more than they do now but I did have more fun also.

Carey ~ Joni Mitchell

The wind is in from africa
Last night I couldn’t sleep
Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here carey
But it’s really not my home
My fingernails are filthy, I got beach tar on my feet
And I miss my clean white linen and my fancy french cologne

Oh carey get out your cane
And I’ll put on some silver
Oh you’re a mean old daddy, but I like you fine

Come on down to the mermaid cafe and I will buy you a bottle of wine
And we’ll laugh and toast to nothing and smash our empty glasses down
Let’s have a round for these freaks and these soldiers
A round for these friends of mine
Let’s have another round for the bright red devil
Who keeps me in this tourist town

Come on, carey, get out your cane
I’ll put on some silver
Oh you’re a mean old daddy, but I like you

Maybe I’ll go to amsterdam
Or maybe I’ll go to rome
And rent me a grand piano and put some flowers ’round my room
But let’s not talk about fare-thee-welis now
The night is a starry dome.
And they’re playin’ that scratchy rock and roll
Beneath the matalla moon

Come on, carey, get out your cane
And I’ll put on some silver
You’re a mean old daddy, but I like you

The wind is in from africa
Last night I couldn’t sleep
Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here
But, it’s really not my home
Maybe it’s been too long a time
Since I was scramblin’ down in the street
Now they got me used to that clean white linen
And that fancy french cologne

Oh carey, get out your cane
I’ll put on my finest silver
We’ll go to the mermaid cafe
Have fun tonight
I said, oh, you’re a mean old daddy, but you’re out of sight

Thanks Windy. I like your username by the way. I have just watched House of Flying Daggers...the hero is Windy. Windy as in free spirit, not as in full of farts

Im just been silly. I am a little hungover. It always make me hyper, hence the rambling.

No. i havent heard VOODOO DADDY, but i shall download some stuff now. I always appreciate some new music.
