Best Songs Ever

Back then, there were a couple of guitars that were dominant in Rock and Roll. One was the Fender Stratocaster. Ash body with bolt-on neck and single-coil pickups. The other was the Les Paul. (Solid mahogany body with carved maple cap and glued-in mahogany neck.) The Les Paul also had double-coil humbucking pickups that were quite resistant to line-noise, buzz from neon lights, etc. If you could stand wearing one on a strap all night (massive!) you could get pretty impressive tone and volume from the little amps of the day.

Adyssa

I can't understand a word she says, it's amazing. :)

Borek

You won't understand a word she sings, but it is still amazing.

Gad

Such arrogant and ignorant voice, but it is still amazing.


I'd appreciate a translated lyrics to that song [if there's any], Borek.

In the waiting room at the PKP station
I like to sit sometimes
because where is the better place to wait

women with loads
completely drunken guys
and as usual on the station, some stink, sometimes crowd

don't ask me where do I go
whether I can afford a ticket
sitting and waiting is a natural state

sometimes I smoke a joint
and I fell great
there is no need to wait
as a train to sky carries me

I am sitting for hours, not hurrying anywhere
sometimes a guy like you accosts me
so sit with me on the PKP station
that's how the journey starts, who knows how it'll end

--
PKP is a Polish National Railway
train to sky can be a train to heaven, both meanings are correct

Gad

Beautiful lyrics [and translated well], Borek. Thanks!

This show uses a lot of great classical music that fits wonderfully. This is probably my favorite example with one of my favorite songs.

Thanks for posting this. Great music, wonderfully played.

Thanks for the elaboration(s) turbo. In those days I was still fiddling with an acoustic guitar, a bit (a very small bit) of piano, some violin (literally fiddling), flute, recorder, trumpet, trombone, sax, etc. The intricacies and subtleties of electric guitar playing were, and still are, beyond me, though I think I can hear and appreciate much of it. I admire the people who can do things with an electric guitar that I really enjoy and can only imagine being able to do.
