BWV said:This was my introduction, and no doubt many others:
I've now seen Monster Magnet and they were very good, but it was loud, very loudDennisN said:...and I am going to see the good rock band Monster Magnet live very soon in a pretty small club..
Aufbauwerk 2045 said:Richard Clayderman at a piano store. Amazing.

Craftek_Ana said:That was... Amazing!
Note to self: take up piano. The chorus to Titanic doesn't cut it, I probably don't even remember anymore! :D
That is fascinating, I will definitely be looking into this.Aufbauwerk 2045 said:I had some piano lessons when I was growing up, but was quite rusty in piano and music theory when I tried to take it up again as an adult. I found this book very helpful indeed. With this book, a fake book, and a keyboard, it's not so difficult. The main lesson I learned is that most of the work is in your mind. It does not take amazing finger gymnastics to be a good player. I realized that for me the key is to memorize a piece. When I can play it without looking at the sheet music, then I really know it and can play it well. I bought an electronic keyboard, which allowed me to plug in headphones and practice without disturbing anyone.

Aufbauwerk 2045 said:Very interesting. I never heard of him before, but I learned that he is very popular and also very controversial. Thanks to Google Translate I can more or less make out the lyrics. I will look for some more of his videos. Thanks.
Craftek_Ana said:That he is. While I don't agree with everything he represents, he is undoubtedly a legendary rock star; breaking world record in 2017 for his 40th year in music selling over a mind blowing quarter million tickets to the concert. Thank you for taking the time to translate the lyrics. Google translate butchered those pretty savagely because the song is oddly poetic about wanting more from life and besides containing a lot of subtext it trails off throughout the song. I will try my best to translate below if you care to read. To be honest though I much prefer softer 80s rock or music, like the music you post.
Translation if you care to read.
Even if it were easy
I wouldn't tell you
Can't stop
Now
Details are
What matters
Moments are
What mark
Everybody can be
Whatever he wants to be, you know
You can't lose
What you don't have
Have you ever thought about what you do
Have you ever looked what you are
You can't be distracted only when you wish/want
It's not enough for me, I want more
And those who say it's easy
Look at this
man is like this
If it was simple
I wouldn't be
Like this
I don't want to give up
I just won't
That's all
I won't be able to do it
But i think I will.
Even if it were simple
I wouldn't tell you
But you can choose
If you want
Everybody can be
whatever they want to be,
you know
You can't lose what you don't have
Have you ever got problems for what you are
Have you ever got problems for what you do
You can't be distracted only when you wish/want
It's not enough for me, I want more.

However, I need to check out the translation before I get enthusiastic. I have no idea what they are saying.
Do you know Fairouz? She is amazing. It's hard not to love a beautiful love song.
This one is my favorite. I first heard it in French. I think it was an international hit for some time. A guy told me it's originally a Lebanese song. I looked into it, and that is when I discovered Fairouz.

Being a desert creature myself. I can relate to those Taureg Lyrics. Last year around this time.
I was camping in the Hills of WV over at Canaan Valley. Spent a week there.
