Katy Perry's song rocks :-). I love the way her songs portrayed or being base on real life scenarios

Check the OP. You're supposed to link to a soundtrack, presenting your choice of the best song ever.

I searched the thread for Vincent of Don McLean but nothing came up, so to make sure we don't miss the everest of greenest evergreen.

Ivan Seeking

I think I have posted that before. It IS one of my absolute favorites.

They look old now, but their voices do not change much at all.

And here is still my favorite

Olana, by Marc Cohn. Celebrating Frederic Edwin Church. He was the highest-selling living painter of his day, and was eventually laid low by rheumatoid arthritis, and had to switch hands, which greatly reduced his output, and likely in his mind the quality of his work. He spent his later years designing and overseeing the construction of this house on the Hudson River.

I'm listening to this song now. Beautiful, imho. Great piano stuff, lyric, vocal, arrangement. Never heard it before. Thanks for posting turbo.

Olana is maintained as a public resource, like a park, and is available for people wanting to tour the property, explore the grounds, or just to visit the buildings. "Final masterpiece" is quite apt.

I really like this. Hadn't heard it before. Thanks for posting.

For those who have never heard this sort of music performed live, then you owe it to yourself to do so.

Beethoven is my favorite composer. Symphonies 3.5,6,7 and 9 as well as some others like the Moonlight Sonata and the Egmont Overture are my particular favorites. Most people single out the third movement of the 9th symphony, but I actually like this movement better. There's a strange short piece of the main theme of the second movement that occurs the third. It really sounds like it doesn't belong there. Was Beethoven being "cute", was it a mistake by someone else, or does this have some deep significance? Beethoven was completely deaf when he wrote this symphony. so is it possible it's his or someone else's mistake? However, I'm sure he would have noticed it in the score. He conducted the first performance himself, but fell behind the music. He was reportedly still waving his wand when the orchestra had finished. Thanks for posting.
