I like the rhythm, it reminds me of a French song somehow. Do you have a link to the lyrics, Borek?

Набегают волны синие.
Зеленые? Нет, синие.
Как хамелеонов миллионы,
Цвет меняя на ветру.
Ласково цветет глициния,
Она нежнее инея...
А где-то есть земля Дельфиния
И город Кенгуру.

Это далеко! Ну что же? -
Я туда уеду тоже.
Ах ты боже, ты мой боже,
Что там будет без меня?
Пальмы без меня засохнут,
Розы без меня заглохнут,
Птицы без меня замолкнут -
Вот что будет без меня.

Да, но без меня в который раз
Отплыло судно "Дикобраз",
Как же я подобную беду
Из памяти сотру?
А вчера пришло, пришло, пришло
Ко мне письмо, письмо, письмо
Со штемпелем моей Дельфинии,
Со штампом Кенгуру.

Белые конверты с почты
Рвутся, как магнолий почки,
Пахнут, как жасмин, но вот что
Пишет мне моя родня:
Пальмы без меня не сохнут,
Розы без меня не глохнут.
Птицы без меня не молкнут...
Как же это без меня?

Набегают волны синие:
Зеленые? Нет, синие.
Набегают слезы горькие...
Смахну, стряхну, сотру.
Ласково цветет глициния -
Она нежнее инея...
А где-то есть земля Дельфиния
И город Кенгуру.

Nice. :smile:

To make things clear - I don't care what you think, I was looking for this song for 20 years.
...
It is in Russian, my Mom brought it on cassette from Moscow (or Irkutsk?) back in early eighties, but the cassette got lost and I remembered only some parts of the text. I tried to look for these lines several times, last in 2010, but for no luck. I tried again today :smile:

I had a similar experience with a song from the 80's.
It was popular for awhile, but then disappeared.
Decades later, I heard it again.

Silly lyrics, but I liked it.

Highway 101 was OK, but I preferred them with Nikki Nelson (this lady) over the line-up with Paulette Carlson.



BTW, if I have posted this link before, I apologize. The song just came up on the carousel, and I love it.

Now I was foot loose and fancy free
I had respect, I had dignity
Then this thing got to hold 'a me
And it still will not let go
I walked in, and my heartbeat jumped
My hair stood up, and my skin goose-bumped
My mind went blank, and my IQ slumped
And my judgment hit the road

I think this should actually be in the Pink Floyd thread but was afraid to post it there cause it was just Waters and Geesin, and not the rest of the boys. Feel free to move it there if you want. Anyway, I used to listen to this high with my buddies looking out over the bluffs at campus point at UCSB in college. It scared the living crap out of me to the point I eventually had to throw it away. However, there's obvious magic in there, what kind of magic I guess will depend on the individual. Enjoy... Good luck. There's several parts, btw.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOXcHI36Otk

Since I posted the lyrics (except for the last repeated verse) in the Beautiful Lyrics thread, I may as well post the June Christy version of Midnight Sun here. The melody was written by Lionel Hampton and Sonny Burke as an instrumental and lyricist Johnny Mercer later wrote the lyrics.

Omg that's the girl from Nickelodeon's show "Victorious". Does every talentless pile of garbage on Nick and Disney channel get a record deal these days? Jesus Christ.

Apparently.

Tripping about sums it up. Now I know my monitor has the 16 million colors it advertises.

Btw, "Anyways"? You're starting to sound like Leonard Susskind. Or is that extra "s" a Manhattan thing?

Really? I hope not, otherwise this is going to be pretty tough. BTW, I almost picked Shake It Out, but I went for the crazy looks. So far I have Adele, Duffy, and F&M. It's not that I favor female artists, it's just that I favor female artists.

Dirge--Obsidian



Faun-- Zeigeist



Edit: I don't align with the Zeigeist movement, but I do see some positive benefits to it. This song, however, is very powerful.

Maria Mena-- Eyesore

Scared of Duffy? It seems she's the one that's scared. Apparently you've been teasing PFers about your gender. Last I heard, you are a guy. How could a cute blue eyed blond girl be so scary? Now her music (some say) can be a bit "winehousey" and that might be scary to some. I'm a Winehouse guy so no trash talk about AJW.

Because she looks like a suicidal mental patient waiting to happen. I have no clue who Winehouse is.

In all honesty these two songs are the BEST songs in the world if you don't like them, then maybe you should take two... some alte Hex'!

Haha, this song is the ring tone for my phone! I love Blockhead. I really love this Loka remix of his Sunday Seance tune.

Since physics guy WannabeNewton doesn't like torchy lyrics about relationships, maybe he'll like the Neutron Dance by the Pointer Sisters.

Haha you got that right: lyrics about relationships bore the hell out of me. There is no interesting poetry about them (usually) and they get repetitive really fast. I remember the Pointer Sisters song you linked from ages ago, before I was scared to death of Eddie Murphy's smile xD

To be fair, there are a couple of relationshipy songs that I do like a lot e.g.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzeDqRhM09w

but that's mostly because I'm a die hard fan of the show "Friends".

Even though I'm nearing 60 years of age, I find it extremely difficult not to get up and dance when that song comes on.

<plays video>

Yup. I cannot sit through that song. It's like Om-Dance-Crack.

I saw the Stones once. hmmm...
Ah ha! I just found a stash of old concert ticket stubs:
Stones: Seattle Kingdome, October 15, 1981, $16
Queen: Seattle Center Coliseum, July 1, 1980, $9
Heart: Seattle Center Coliseum, August 7, 1980, $10
Pat Benatar: Paramount NW, Seattle, August 20, 1980, $8
And yes, I did see micromass's ticket stub.

Doesn't matter. With a voice like that, no wonder it was such a hit. That was back in my college days. :wink:
