Who is Sigrid and Why is She the Next Big Thing in Music?

[DennisN]

fresh this woman and her friends rip the night away
bought the cd bought the t shirt
can't stop playing it

Thanks for posting, I will check them out! I like the energy, and the steadfast guitars!

That song reminded me a bit of calypso music. Which I happen to like for some reason I can't exactly put my finger on. But I know it puts me in a good mood and makes me happy .

which also was covered by The Andrews Sisters - Rum And Coca-Cola 1944:

I thought the Andrew Sisters did Mr Sandman but it's these guys. I think I posted this before too. I live this sound/style. Crunchy close harmony, not easy to do.

Now I know of two songs with lots of fish puns in them.

Perhaps there are more!

Jazzy funky and hippy as hell, 1970 a great Year for music (ignoring the high profile deaths)
This is Air, Googie Capolla amazing blues rangy cool as hell voice. More talent in the first 60 seconds singing on this track than the pop dross of the last few years.

 

[DennisN]

A great, groovy, skilled, long guitar solo, live by John Squire of The Stone Roses:
(the drummer is pretty good too )
Original song is here, the classic Fool's Gold from 1989.

 

[pinball1970]

On it was this very nice song, "Watch", where she does lovely "glides" with her voice (I think the correct musical term is "glissando"):

Billie Eilish - Watch

The video was a tad disturbing...
Nice voice though.

I should like this I suppose but after 30 years I am still undecided.
It is groovy has guitar based riffs Madchester but I was a rocker at time wondering where all these floppy hats came from.
All the science guys liked Purple Hendrix and Metallica and went to the UMIST rock disco.
All the floppy hats went to the Hacienda.
It was a culture thing.

 

[pinball1970]

I have been listening to a lot of these vocal only songs, I am a Macca fan but and this is his fave track according one q and a with him. It's in my top 5.

 

[whitedog484]

My favorite for all time? It will always be Steelheart - She's Gone.

Lol... sometimes, though, that somber Wedding March never happened... .

It’s your wedding day, all eyes are on you, and suddenly the music starts; it’s time for your wedding first dance song!
It's time to choose the best possible first dance song. Best Wedding First Dance Song here https://www.poptop.uk.com/blog/how-to-choose-the-best-wedding-first-dance-song/

I just found this track from Asia's:

The start of the track reminds me of the problem of QG: " This problem is insoluble..."

 

[256bits]

Some real music, real relaxing.



( Not the best recording )

 

[Aufbauwerk 2045]

This song from The Magic Flute is one of my favorites, sung by one of my favorite boys choir. The part about superstition giving way to enlightenment and men becoming like gods in a heaven-like kingdom on Earth is what I believe. Science and enlightenment in general is the way. A good message for July 4th, since that is the philosophy of Jefferson, Franklin, Paine, and other great champions of the enlightenment.



Bald prangt, den Morgen zu verkünden
Die Sonn' auf goldner Bahn,
Bald soll der Aberglaube schwinden,
Bald siegt der weise Mann.
O, holde Ruhe, steig hernieder,
Kehr in der Menschen Herzen wieder,
Dann ist die Erd' ein Himmelreich,
Und sterbliche sind Göttern gleich,
Und sterbliche sind Göttern gleich, Please search online for a professional English translation. Here is my own loose translation.

Soon the blazing sun comes on its golden way to herald the morning. Soon superstition shall vanish. Soon the wise man shall be victorious. Oh come sacred peace, return to the human heart. Then the Earth will become a heavenly empire, and mortals will become equal to gods.

Since it's been some time since I was active here, I decided to look over my old posts and respond to what I now think is rubbish. For example, the attitude expressed in this song is something I only believed in for a limited time. Now I reject it totally. I can't go into details because this forum does not allow any religious discussion. But I'll just mention that my religion (Roman Catholicism) is totally incompatible with the ideas expressed in this song. I think they are more along the lines of Freemasonry, which I do not belong to. As Rachmaninoff said, "music is a spiritual activity." So be careful.

10K by 10K matrices? No problem. I own you, linear programming.



It's a video thread, right?

Maybe I was drinking when I posted this? Good thing I'm sober now.

 

[Aufbauwerk 2045]

Speaking of loose translation, had I not been enjoying a favorite beverage of the founding fathers, I would have translated "holde Ruhe" a bit differently. I think "fair peace" or "beautiful peace" is correct. Any native German speakers are welcome to provide any corrections. As the great German writer Wilhelm Shakespeare once said, "to err is human, especially after an adult beverage." Long live the Reinheitsgebot.

I still like the Reinheitsgebot, but I don't like this song anymore. I don't agree with its philosophy.

I think it's ok either way. Relax. (for all 3 posts)

Nothing Mozart wrote was rubbish

Mozart joined the Freemasons in 1784, and remained an active member until his death. His choice to enter the lodge "Zur Wohltätigkeit" was influenced by his friendship with the lodge's master, Baron Otto Heinrich von Gemmingen-Hornberg, and his attraction to the lodge's "shared devotion to Catholic tradition."[10] Nor was Mozart's Masonic commitment the most likely source of his occasional anti-clerical statements, and even less indicative of any essential antipathy to Catholicism. Such anti-clericalism is much more easily attributed to the fashionable anti-clericalism of Febronian Catholicism favored by those in power in Mozart's social ambit at this period, which still reflected curiously a very conservative Counter-Reformation aesthetic environment.[11]
Freemasonry was banned by the Catholic Church in a Papal Bull entitled In eminenti apostolatus issued by Pope Clement XII on 28 April 1738. The ban, however, "was published and came into force only in the Papal States, Spain, Portugal, and Poland."[12] It was not promulgated in Austria, where Mozart lived, until 1792 (after Mozart's death). Hence, although the Catholic Church's opposition to Freemasonry would eventually become known in Austria, during Mozart's lifetime "a good Catholic could perfectly well become a Mason," and it is clear that Mozart saw no conflict between these two allegiances.[13]

You're a Mozart fan? I love him too. I looove Mozart!

Time to dance to the groove...!

Damn, this song has been put up, taken down, then put back up so often. . . I've

almost lost Track (pun).
I check once in a while to see if it's back. . . . and it is, and it might stay. . . .✔Bob Dylan - Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts (Audio) - YouTube

When I first heard this song when it just had been released, I thought to myself "this will be hit", but I did not realize just how big of a hit it would become. The chart performance and number of cover versions and appearances in popular culture speak for itself.

After the very first listen I was impressed by the lyrics which are very well written, suggestive and full of references to history, religion, revolution and dethroning of kings. But the composer has cleverly still left the lyrics open to interpretation, as it can be about anyone who has fallen down from a previously higher position or situation.

Here is a great live version from Tokyo in 2009, including lyrics:

Two instrumental tracks I like a lot:

Melosense - Roads & Lights (electronica)


Cantoma - Out of Town (downtempo/electronica)

It seems somewhat odd ( I'm not sure odd is the right word ) that you posted a Cream

song today. . . since Ginger Baker also died today. . . .

Peter Edward "Ginger" Baker (19 August 1939 – 6 October 2019) was an English drummer and a co-founder of the rock band Cream.

Two tracks from the UK guys who found water in the desert in the 90s:

Champagne Supernova (my favorite Oasis song)


Live Forever

 

[DennisN]

And three great songs by one of my absolute favorite UK bands ever, The Verve:

This Is Music


Lucky Man


Bitter Sweet Symphony

 

[DennisN]

This is a song that has the ability to make me happy, even I'm feeling a bit low.
It is so upbeat and cheekily positive that it is irresistible to me.

"I know that my schedule is f**ked up, but baby you know you're the same" means to me that we all should embrace the fact that entropy increases, or something...

Sigrid - Schedules (Official Lyric Video)

 

[Spinnor]

Great guitar work at 1:46, 2:40, 3:47 and the best at 4:13.

I loved and love The Cult, I'm going to post another song of theirs later [thinking... thinking...]...

 

[DennisN]

A live version of "Nirvana", which is the opening track on their album "Love" (1985) and it has nothing to do with the later famous grunge band Nirvana:



I've seen The Cult live once in the 90s, and they were great.

 

[Spinnor]

More fine guitar playing and vocals,

 

[DennisN]

Here are two songs by the criminally underrated UK alternative rock band The House of Love, both from their excellent album Babe Rainbow (1992).

Crush Me


Philly Phile

 

[DennisN]

More fine guitar playing and vocals,

I can actually play a couple of their songs on guitar, and when I was in a band we once played a cover of "She Sells Sanctuary" live, where I played the lead guitar. It's not so difficult, actually, I can still play it. And it's still a darn good riff.

She Sells Sanctuary
And here is a fun clip I found some time ago, where Billy Duffy describes how he came up with the intro to the song. It was a random thing that happened when he joked around trying to imitate Jimmy Paige .

Synthesizer eargasm... (ambient/electronic).
I heard it today on internet radio, a very nice instrumental track.

Stimulus Timbre - Harmonic Discovery - 07 Space Station 84

 

[DennisN]

Nice electronic music performed with the incredibly cool laser harp. And if you are a fan of Jean-Michel Jarre you might appreciate both the style of music, the beautiful instruments used and the laser harp.

I've posted about her before, and, gosh, she's got such a good live voice:

Billie Eilish - (Live) Ocean Eyes

 

[dLouie]

I recently helped a buddy installing the brake kit and helo rims on his truck project and took it for a spin. Turned on the radio and this music play. I have not heard it in a long time and feels great to listen to it by surprise. One of my most fave back in the school days.
