Here is an oldie that has hung on. Stephen Hawking might even like it.

OMG! Listen to Jackie now. This interview and performance is from last week. Just listen to the depth and richness her voice has acquired over the last year. She does one of our favorites songs :approve: but seems to be struggling with the timing a bit. I've noticed that she struggles sometimes when the orchestra isn't live and she has adjust for tempo.

Best Trumpet mouth solo EVER! If you close your eyes you can not tell the difference!

Until 1:30 she sang this song while a little girl, then comes the dazzling mature voice of hers, singing the same song. Absolutely mellifluous. Not to mention the lyrics.

Duffy, Warwick Avenue

A much better song than "Mercy" IMHO.

U2 - Gloria - from their second album, October, in 1981.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GyTdo1nGO0

It was one of their lowest charting singles, but I like the guitar riffs.

Speaking of Gloria, our little band use to play this.

I'm sure that i have posted this before, but this duet between Vince Gill and Allison Krause is so sweet, and it just popped up on my CD carousel.

I didn't realize you enjoyed country too.

Oh, yeah! When I was a kid, my great-uncle would often come up to the house and ask me if I wanted to go for a ride. We would go up to the top of a high hill. We would tune in the AM radio to Wheeling West Virginia and listen to 50's country. He would buy me a bottle of Coke and buy himself a couple of bottles of Dawson or other cheap ale. We'd sit there, and enjoy the tunes.

Got to wait longer than daylight so that AM could get through.

Actually, when I was a kid, I was vacillating between Nashville country and the stuff being put out by Johnny Cash and others, which was more rock-a-billy. I'm older than dirt.

my mom used to play this song and others by Ben Folds Five in the car when I was much younger. I've found that it evokes some seriously powerful memories of just... sitting in a car driving through town at night with all the lights and people out doing stuff.

That's what I really love about music: how it can evoke such strangely powerful memories and emotions.

because the search function on facebook sucks, and I couldn't remember my newest grandnephews name a bit of a while ago.

This song, although I can't understand all of the words, makes me want to cry.

A happy kind of cry though. I only cry when I'm happy. :smile:

I just recently "discovered" this song listening to last.fm radio and I've had it on repeat all night. So gorgeous.

Great song. :) I've heard of these guys before, but I haven't dug very deep, I might do so now. I like your comment about crying even though you don't understand all the words. I love how music can resonate with a person like that. <3

Here's a song by Sigur Rós, a band from Iceland. I haven't the foggiest idea what they are singing about but they hit me right in the chest!

What is really weird, is that I posted my "best song" before I watched yours.

elSigur Rós, and Icelanders, rock my boat(s). :smile:

Video made for my brothers', Joel and Adam, 24th birthday about our dad, Ralph N. Grippo, who died Decemeber 1992 (he was buried on their 10th birthday). This song by Emerson, Lake & Palmer, he sang near the end of his cancer, except changing the lyrics in the chorus "Ooh, what a lucky man I am!"...
