Why must the title of the topic still say "...(new thread)", while the topic is up to 21 pages and was started December 2017?
Good question :smile:. I checked if I as OP could change the thread title, but I don't think I can. I summon the emperor, the great overlord with seemingly unlimited powers, @Greg Bernhardt, to ask him if he could assist us mere mortals with a change of the thread title...

Two good songs and one cover from Depeche Mode:

Enjoy The Silence (Live on Letterman)


It's No Good, Live 1997


Heroes (by David Bowie) - with great vocals
Heroes Depeche mode did not make me happy. I think he was trying to imitate the 1977 top of pops version.

I think that "Heroes" is an example of a song where you can't beat the original. Same with "Life on Mars" and pretty much every other Bowie song. :smile:

I personally like this live version of "Heroes" from Paris in 2002, because it's a bit "funky" and laidback in the beginning, but also with good dynamics and powerful in the last part of the song:

“Awaken” by Yes

This has got to be one of the most beautiful pieces ever composed (obviously I’m biased haha), but I would definitely recommend giving it a listen... really good song for me to listen to when I’m not feeling too great, to be completely honest. And, of course, I quite enjoy long songs!

I've recently discovered the very talented singer/songwriter Billie Eilish, she's only 17 years old, and she has only released one album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? (2019)

Good songwriting, great voice, I think:

Billie Eilish - Ocean Eyes
Billie Eilish - Real Voice (song examples)
Billie Eilish - 'bellyache' (live for Like A Version)

On the photo thread competitions theme this week now up for votes is The Night.
That and other things reminded me.
In 1985 the entertainer/musician Renzo Arbore launched a late night program calLed Quelli della Notte (People of the Night you could call it) on Italian TV for which neither he nor RAI-TV expected more than a small audience. Instead it went viral, was viewed by millions, everyone talked about it. A sort of cabaret, partly in take-off imitation of the talkshows that make up a lot of Italian TV. The humour was chaotic surreal sometimes, might not come over, but the incredible atmosphere with big audience participation it all had I think does in the clips – you can easily find others including entire programs of which there were only 33. Arbore had this talent of creating atmosphere, putting people together, and (he is still around) the people in the show still remember it as a time when they were paid just to enjoy themselves. For some of them it launched their careers and they are very well-known now. Arbore among other talents plays the clarinet and I forget what else, and is a worshipper of the New Orleans and other jazz giants.

Signature tune song was about how the day was made of stress and rubbish – but not the night: Ma la notte, no!https://www.youtube.com › watchRenzo Arbore: "Ma la notte no" - Sigla di Quelli della notte - YouTube

I agree.
I would argue that this is the best piece of music ever put together in the modern age. Everything about it is beautiful.

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 :smile:.

A classic calypso song: Lord Invader - Rum and coca cola


which also was covered by The Andrews Sisters - Rum And Coca-Cola 1944:
I also like certain types of latin music, for instance the compilation Made In Cuba and the Buena Vista Social Club album.

Here's one wonderful song from "Made In Cuba", Pepesito Reyes - Descarga No 2:


And here's a nice, moody song from "Buena Vista Social Club", Chan Chan:

I've just listened to her entire studio album and it was very good.
I am now listening to her first EP, Don't Smile at Me (2017) which also is very good.

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

If you analyse music as you hear it, I recommend you to start with Schubert's symphonies. This is in many situations considered as the fundament for popular music these days.
