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

[StevieTNZ]

I've had this on repeat all day:

 

[wrobel]

not a song just a music

Why I never saw Prince live is a mystery...

Prince - 1999 (Live at The Summit, Houston, TX, 12/29/1982)


Prince - Let's Go Crazy (Live At Paisley Park, 1999)


Prince, Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, Jeff Lynne and others -- "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"
(where Prince shows his guitar skills at 3:28 an onwards)

Sat through the whole movie yesterday on a hard kitchen chair just for this. There's a choir, that makes it a song, right?

 

[DennisN]

I've always loved this really old song since I first heard it. The melody in the verse is great, in my opinion.
First performed by Ethel Waters in 1933, and afterwards recorded by many other famous artists over the years.

Stormy Weather - Ethel Waters (1933)

 

[DennisN]

Another old favorite of mine, here excellently performed by young Angelina Jordan in a song contest:

Angelina Jordan Sings Elton John's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road"


Original is here. The song is partly inspired by The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

 

[cybernetichero]

We've got (unseasonable) stormy weather tonight here in my part of the world.

 

[cybernetichero]

I just love the chorus but can't sing along 'coz I get choked up.

 

[cybernetichero]

I've heard this song in so many versions but when I heard this on Spotify today I thought, "If he were any MORE laid back he'd be unconscious". Have a cup of hot coffee handy.

 

[DennisN]

Two nice live deliveries from ol' R.E.M. :

R.E.M. - All The Best (Live)
R.E.M. - Alligator Aviator Autopilot Antimatter (Live At Hansa Studio)

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:

 

[BWV]

and black

would have been Astor's 100th birthday yesterday. Google honored him outside the US, but not here for some reason

 

[Demystifier]

I made a rather big playlist here:

 

[MathematicalPhysicist]

Going Coco Loco...
Go Bass slap...

 

[Mary Conrads Sanburn]

Nick Jonas: This Is Heaven (Live) - SNL

 

[wrobel]

a sad song about my generation

 

[DennisN]

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!

 

[DennisN]

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

 

[DennisN]

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.

 

[DennisN]

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.

I like Che Vuole Questa Musica Stasera, and the scene from this movie with the song as well.

Those of you not in Europe may never have heard of the Eurovision song contest, those of you in Europe may hate it.
But it's tradition in our house to watch it and this is this year's winner. Best in a while and my current ear worm

It went down hill after ABBA.
