On the CD Player (Turntable) Today

Bolero by Ravel

"Joseph-Maurice Ravel (March 7, 1875 – December 28, 1937) was a French composer and pianist of the impressionistic period, known especially for the subtlety, richness and poignancy of his music. His piano, chamber music and orchestral works have become staples of the concert repertoire.

Ravel's piano compositions, such as Jeux d'eau, Miroirs and Gaspard de la Nuit, demand considerable virtuosity from the performer, and his orchestral music, including Daphnis et Chloé and his arrangement of Modest Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, uses tonal color and variety of sound and instrumentation very effectively.

To the general public, Ravel is probably best known for his orchestral work, Boléro, which he considered trivial and once described as "a piece for orchestra without music."[1]

According to Sacem, Ravel's estate earns more royalties than that of any other French musician."

Does anyone actually read this thread, or does everyone just copy-and-past banal lyrics as if anyone cares?

 

Evidently you do.

 

Oh , BTW here's Bolero frr of charge with animation from you tube...

Maybe he doesn't. There's discussion scattered throughout the topic. Besides, I've held back a number of comments because, especially when the music seems to have a particular emotional value to a poster, it seems rather impolite to make the point that this or that band sucks.

And, every once in a while, people do find gems. S.A.M. and I, prompted by a negative assessment of a particular band, recently had a brief but seemingly insightful discussion of Lo-Fi pop, minimizing, and minimalism. Sure, this isn't the topic for an in-depth analysis of any particular movement, but I think we learned at least something about one another. I didn't have much nice to say about Amber Pacific, but given that a local radio station I trust is giving them attention, I figure to give the band another chance; admittedly, it was a rough night for all the openers when I saw--or, rather, didn't see--them.

Epitaph by King Crimson


The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams.
Upon the instruments if death
The sunlight brightly gleams.
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams,
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
As silence drowns the screams.

Between the iron gates of fate,
The seeds of time were sown,
And watered by the deeds of those
Who know and who are known;
Knowledge is a deadly friend
When no one sets the rules.
The fate of all mankind I see
Is in the hands of fools.

Confusion will be my epitaph.
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back
and laugh.
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying,
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying.

"Mother" By Pink Floyd

Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb
Mother do you think they'll like the song
Mother do you think they'll try to break my balls
Ooooh aah, Mother should I build a wall
Mother should I run for president
Mother should I trust the government
Mother will they put me in the firing line
Ooooh aah, is it just a waste of time
Hush now baby, baby don't you cry
Mama's gonna make all of your
Nightmares come true
Mama's gonna put all of her fears into you
Mama's gonna keep you right here
Under her wing
she won't let you fly but she might let you sing
Mama will keep baby cosy and warm
Ooooh Babe Ooooh Babe Ooooh Babe
Of course Mama's gonna help build the wall

Mother do think she's good enough for me
Mother do think she's dangerous to me
Mother will she tear your little boy apart
Oooh aah, mother will she break my heart
Hush now baby, baby don't you cry
Mama's gonna check out all your girl friends for you
Mama won't let anyone dirty get through
Mama's gonna wait up till you get in
Mama will always find out where
You've been
Mamma's gonna keep baby healthy and clean
Ooooh Babe Ooooh Babe Ooooh Babe
You'll always be a baby to me
Mother, did it need to be so high.

 

"Your House"

I went to your house
Walked up the stairs
I opened your door without ringing the bell
I walked down the hall
Into your room
Where I could smell you
And I shouldn't be here, without permission
I shouldn't be here

Would you forgive me love
If I danced in your shower
Would you forgive me love
If I laid in your bed
Would you forgive me love
If I stay all afternoon

I took off my clothes
Put on your robe
And I went through your drawers
And I found your cologne
Went down to the den
Found your CD's
And I played your Joni
And I shouldn't stay long, you might be home soon
I shouldn't stay long

Would you forgive me love
If I danced in your shower
Would you forgive me love
If I laid in your bed
Would you forgive me love
If I stay all afternoon

I burned your incense
I ran a bath
I noticed a letter that sat on your desk
It said "Hello love, I love you so love, meet me at midnight"
And no, it wasn't my writing
I'd better go soon
It wasn't my writing

So forgive me love
If I cry in your shower
So forgive me love
For the salt in your bed
So forgive me love
If I cry all afternoon

~ Alanis Morissette

 

Fibre de Verre ~ Paris Combo

http://www.last.fm/music/Paris Combo/_/Fibre de verre?autostart

Fibre de verre, je ne sais vibrer
Qu'en paratonnerre, je suis condamnee
A l'eclair, la foudre ephemere
Car si l'on m'aime
L'on doit me consumer

Mais demain, oui, demain
J'en fait le serment
J'ouvrirai les yeux
Mes deux yeux, tout en grand
Sur un bel homme
Un bel amant
Qui laissera ma vie sauve
Tout en m'aimant

Fibre de verre, je me suis cassee
Les dents, le nez, sur bien des affaires
De cour trop pince
De mours trop epicees
Car pour me plaire
Il faut me consumer

Mais demain, oui, demain
J'en fait le serment
J'ouvrirai les yeux, mes deux yeux,
tout en grand
Sur toi, en somme
Mon bel amant
Toi qui assis, m'attend
Tout en m'aimant

Fibre de verre, je me suis allumee
Sans un eclair
Sans meme un brasier
Juste une lueur
En mon interieur
Ta chaleur
A su trouver mon cour

Mais demain, oui, demain...

You Can Leave Your Hat On by Joe Cocker


Baby take off your coat real slow
Take off your shoes
I'll take off your shoes girl
Take off your dress yes, yes, yes

You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on

Go over there turn on the lights, all the lights
Come over here, stand on that chair
Baby thats right
Raise your arms up in the air
And now shake em

You give me reason to live
You give me reason to live
You give me reason to live
You give me reason to live

Sweet darling
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on baby
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on

Suspicious minds are talking
There trying to tear us apart
They don't believe this love of mine
But they don't know what love is

They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
I know what love is

You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
