Does anyone know the name of the chant that begins at 2:37?

At any rate, this whole time line is a masterpiece, whomever arranged it.

Sorry, if we're talking cello, Rasputina is better...


edit: and thank you Galteeth, I had not realized BR had a new album out.

I like them both. I find that the first really captures the mood of the season in particular.

This song made me cry. For the first time in five years.

Thanks for the recent posts. Cool stuff. Still making my way slowly through this entire thread. Here's something from the soundtrack of the movie 'Heaven':

This is an almost 40 year old song by Joni Mitchell. I don't know why exactly, but this song moves me. Sorry I couldn't find a better version. I'm an instrumental musician. I could care less about words. But this song is just so simple yet so cool, and the quality of Joni's voice is so moving. You find yourself thinking that you wish you had thought of it, but you're just glad that somebody did. I think the song is beautiful and beautifully done. By the way, don't look at the video, just close your eyes and listen to the music.
Judgement of the Moon and Stars


Here's another:
Court and Spark


and one more
Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire


Now for Tori Amos whose stuff I also love
a somewhat raw, but really good, performance of a cool song on Conan's show in 1994
this one is cool to watch, she's hot and she can play -- a musicians dream

With only some 20 seconds of actual singing both at the beginning and end of the song, Nocturne by Secret Garden was probably the most silent winner of the annual Eurosongfestival

We used to stack 8 Advent speakers in quad, with a Phase Linear preamp (cooled with ice cubes) and amp, in a room that was about 12 ft by 14 ft. At full volume it could be heard a mile or two away.

But did you shatter any windows?

And people wonder why us old people are deaf.

Wow! I went in the other direction. I eventually managed to round up two monoblock MacIntosh 30-watt power tube amplifiers and some decent speakers to put together a killer stereo. I used an AR turntable and tinkered with preamplification to get a decent system. You couldn't hear it very far away, but my dorm room and (later) apartment were often populated with people who wanted to hang out and listen to great music. I sold the Macs when my wife and I were chasing jobs early in our marriage, and opted for a more compact Sansui do-all amp. Live and learn.
 
I've never been able to tolerate loud music. Of course, now at my age, I can hear a pin drop a mile away and it will wake me from a sound sleep.

I still can't stand loud music. I want to hear the subtle nuances, not have my ear drums shattered.
 
I'm not a very emotional guy at all but I got to admit, this song kinda pulls at my cold, hard Russian heart strings just a little bit.

Hallelujah -

I'm not really sure if I like this version or the one by Rufus Wainwright.

Some of my favorite Beatles jams. I pretty much listen to these songs a couple of times a week

Let It Be -

In My Life -

Finally, I heard this song the second Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure or what-have-you and loved it. I was really young and had no idea how to really track down songs so I never knew anything about it until many years later when I finally saw the movie again and watched the credits at the end to see the name/artist. I still like the song until today though I don't think I know any other Kiss songs.

That version of "Hallelujah" is really nice. One of my favorite songs.

Loud music is bad for my ears as well my heart. I don't know how people can enjoy those clubs/places with loud music.

However, I still like songs like Veronica's Untouched:

Because it's fun! And great music to me.
 
I never really appreciated this song until Jim Carrey song it in Yes Man...

I have a hard time deciding between versions of Hang on Sloopy.


Classic version...

70's version...

Both are great. And that lady dances better than any I've seen in recent history.

Flamboyant male dancing may be out, but flamboyant female dancing wins every time.
