A lesser known version of a well known tune

 

[Helena Wells]

I don't think there is 1 particular song . I like Clean Bandit , Sia , Linkin Park.

Favourite songs can change with your mood. You can have a different one every day if you want.

I really like the lyrics in this song. Simple, yet effective.

CHVRCHES - Make Them Gold (with lyrics)

 

[MathematicalPhysicist]

A little bit of death:

Nocturne in E Flat (Chopin)

"Nocturne in E Flat", composed and performed by Shoshana Michel. From her solo piano album, Impressions.

 

[BWV]

Nocturne in E Flat (Chopin)

Not Chopin, modern pastiche

Ah, I've listened to much classical music lately, so I got the idea it was Chopin. Thanks for clearing it up!
But I liked the piece anyway.

Nice, but a huge gulf from the real thing

my favorite of the set

Speaking of nocturnes, here's Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata:

Chopin's nocturnes are great.

Speaking of nocturnes, here's Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata:

The Moonlight Sonata is still one of my absolute favorite pieces of classical music.

 

[BWV]

[Moonlight Sonata] ^2


(-[Moonlight Sonata])^(1/2)

 

[david2]

The Moonlight Sonata is still one of my absolute favorite pieces of classical music.

It may be small but it is large!

I heard an instrumental track I really liked today. A cool mix of Indian music and electronica/psy music:
(I really liked it from 2:30 and onwards)

Noor - 7Th

I've been listening to this internet radio station lately which plays great "oldies" songs: Majestic Jukebox.

(by the way, the Internet Radio site is great. There are more than 20'000 radio stations listed there, and they are categorized in different genres. Another station I often listen to is the "Venice Classic Radio Italia" (classical music) listed in the classical section.)

Here are four great oldies songs I identified with the excellent app Shazam:

The Four Tops - It's The Same Old Song
Ann-Margret - Thirteen Men
The Temptations - My Girl
The Hollies - The Air That I Breathe

 

[DennisN]

I heard this one today and had forgotten how much I like the chorus, which I personally find haunting and full of despair, but very well written.

The Supremes - You Keep Me Hangin' On
It was also covered by Kim Wilde in the 1980s.

 

[DennisN]

I also checked out this song again today to see if I still liked it as much as before. Yes I did.
I never was a big Metallica fan, but this song I really like.
I think it is beautiful, powerful, with suggestive lyrics and with a symphony orchestra too .

Metallica - No Leaf Clover (Official Music Video)

 

[david2]

great movie and a great song. takes me back to my youth when I watched it on the big silver screen.

Billie Eilish performing before she became famous.
She had a great voice even when she was younger (clip 2 and forwards).

Better than the original:

I wanted to share this cool video here.

This drummer is astoundingly talented.
He is not a metal drummer (jazz/fusion drummer maybe, I don't know),
and in this video he hears "Enter Sandman" by Metallica for the first time,
and then plays it awesomely directly afterwards. Such talent is rare.

Timelink to the part with his performance is here if you don't want to see the entire clip.
But if you are interested in stunning musicality, I recommend seeing the entire clip.

Buddy Rich could do similar types of memory recall. His band members commented that he heard Channel one suite once then played it with his band. The whole thing is about 20 minutes long with a long intro, fast first section slow section to the middle with stop starts all over then an insane ending.
I'll dig a version out.edit this one from 1978. The best I have heard for me was Mr Drums San Francisco 1985 although his snare sounded a bit tubby.
Check out the first 3 minutes and contemplate playing that after one hearing.
