Archer, to make a youtube video show up:

Do [ YOUTUBE ] ... [ /YOUTUBE ] (without the spaces)

In the place of "..." you should post the code of the video (the thing that comes after v= ).

I edited it so that it works now. Hit "QUOTE" or "EDIT" on the above post to see what I did.

It's ok, nobody's judging you here, and I don't think that a swat team will be sent to your house on the suspicion that you might be smoking a doobie.

I don't smoke the stuff either, although I do like the smell of it now and then (wafting from my neighbor's house).

Anyway, nice tune. That sort of music is so relaxing, in and of itself, that no drugs are required.

And thanks to micromass for clarifying posting protocols.

EDIT: I should add that it's good to also include the complete youtube url below the video, so that people can download it directly from youtube if they want to.

Oh thanks sir, see I've been on another forum for so long, that I'm used to their url posting system lol. All i had to do was put the youtube tags and that was it lol. I see now here its different, thanks on the clarification and help. :)

Cool that you liked it, :D. Yep it is relaxing, was introduced to reggae last year, and ever since been hooked on it. I have some friends who like it as well, so that way I get the coverage on the best reggae singles out from all over the world :). I'll put the link in a sec.

Too cute! Vai is a bit over-the-top as usual, but the video is great.

I'd love to see an extended live showdown between Vai and Ry Cooder (the lineup of head-cutters in Crossroads). Vai is very flashy and showy. Cooder is guts and guitarist-glory-skill without the showmanship.

Very nice. Good composition. Is Orianthi a group (there was a guy and girl in the video) or just the girl? Anyway the girl is much too talented to be that good looking, or vice versa. It's just not right. It's not fair.

EDIT: Oh, I think I see now. The guy is Steve Vai?

Orianthi is a female guitarist who was handpicked by Michael Jackson as the lead guitarist for his "This Is It" tour not long before his death. She's widely recognized as one of the best (male or female) around today. She has a line of expensive guitars named after her. I don't know if she has a business interest in them.

So I'm pretty branched out on what type of music I listen to. My main is Reggae and Violin dramatic masterpieces. Though the two don't relate at all, lol.

this one is by the very famous clint mansell who i adore and love when his music just sets out on the stage, so dramatic. I heard this soundtrack on a famous series on youtube.

warning: the awsomness may affect you and may raise your conscience to have thoughts of fighting in a world wide ending battle that somehow kicks evil people's butts lol.

Clint Mansell is great, and so are Darren Aronofsky's films. The soundtrack to Requiem For A Dream is phenomenal. :)

I knew she was having problems in recent years, but her death surprised me. She was only 48. Rest in Peace, Whitney.

You mean that's not a Randy Newman song?!

Reality's big ol' head, indeed!

Edit: OK I just checked...yes, Randy Newman wrote it.

It's about lying to people.

Telling the people of Africa all sorts of lies so they will get onto the ship and sail away to America, where they end up in Charleston Bay, and become slaves...

Charleston was the major point of entry for Africans brought to America in the eighteenth century. Approximately three out of four enslaved Africans came to America through this port city, which had a black majority by 1790. In 1808, the foreign slave trade was abolished, but American-born slaves continued to be bought and sold until the Civil War.

I always interpreted the lyrics metaphorically, as in, it sucks where you are, and it's better in America.

Yeah, I like this. Had no idea she was older than me. Most of my girlfriends, including my current, have been what might be called Carole King types. By the way, noticing your signature, I have a number of signed first edition Harry Crews books.

Yeah, that's really good stuff, imho. Their voices go together well. I'm a big fan of all of Alison Krause's music.

Awesome stuff... he's an incredibly talented guy. His work with Les Claypool (another very talented guy) was pretty epic.

There are so many incredible songs and artists out there it is hard to pick, but these are 3 songs that will always strike a chord with me:
