Thank you, that Ralph McTell was new to me. I really liked it.

And I just adore Kate Bush.

lol, we must be peers then! Great song.
Actually, I have read about that song- I believe it was kind of stolen (or mistakenly appropriated) from some rural Taiwanese singers, if I remember correctly. Will come back on and correct the record if I am mistaken.

Nope, it's true.
en.wikipedia.org...

Sorry if it changes the song for you any, but perhaps it will give you a better appreciation for the Taiwanese farmers.

Nice thread, I like to hear songs/artist I haven't hear before so thx peeps

The word visceral immediately brought Pantera to mind:


Then on the lighter side, Medicine For The People

Heard this song when I was about 20 years old. I never forgot it.

Can't believe no one has mentioned Modest Mouse. This song always gets me as it reminds me of my puppy that got hit by a car and died, and a friend that died from an asthma attack after breathing in cleaning chemicals when he was cleaning his house.



Well I took off running at the greatest speed
I didn't bother looking to either side of me
Well I didn't see, I just didn't see
What was really going on
The truth had stopped and the skyline rose
Exchanging comfort for more fashionable clothes
I'd left the hills at this point in time
To run on treadmills in a perfect line
Salad days add up to daily s*it
Sparked imagination until the sparks just quit
And if this is fun, why am I so bored with it?
Well I'll probably never know
Guilty cocker spaniels eating table scraps
Well we rolled over, how our masters clapped
It felt so good we wanted more than that
But when the program failed they defensively laughed
We did things just how you asked
Don't try taking us to task
Didn't bite a face, no just a mask
So happy Halloween!
I drew a blank, we put it in a frame
Wait what you're winning, you didn't say this was a game
Well I guess I'll just have to play and play
Until I'm out of cash
Before I could spit it out
I guess the words had burnt my mouth
What can I say?
There's the thought I laid it down
So you could take it out of context
Either way
We said all along we deserve every bit
And mostly we knew that the supply would quit
But we got going, going just away with it
Until everybody lost their mind
Directly behind me and ahead of the time
But don't you worry he'll fall right in line
Yep, everything just might fly by
No ones getting blamed this time
Blame me so blameless
Can we find a way to blame our way out?
Well I postdated the eulogy
For every blameless body, nah nah
We are blamelessly teething
On much more than we need, nah nah nah
Blamelessly teething
Well we're all getting blamed
While everyone, everyone knew
Well everybody, everybody knew

nice peter gabriel. beatles song somehow just gave me a flash to john lennon's "Mother"

he's basically screaming towards the end.



This one also hits me good.

Baby Huey.. what a voice!

LOVE Nina! Thanks!

a reply to: zosimov

It doesn't change the way I feel about the song, I just hope the Taiwanese farmers got more than their fair amount in the law suit.

a reply to: NightSkyeB4Dawn

Probably more than a few years of crop revenue could bring in!

Gosh, money can be both a curse and a blessing. Not sure that a sudden change of monetary fortune would be as beneficial as we would hope.

Maybe I just have this romantic idea of peaceful, simple rural living that doesn't actually exist.

Oh well I tend to overthink everything.

Some of my more psycho stuff...

Oh top of page 3 finally.. Finding new music distracting me.. Haha, don't want to miss any chances finding new stuffs..

so this is more like I'm a #ing GOD Rawr!! type music. careful If you are not about to work out...

Oh boy after the RAWR, here's some that just may make you cry.





And this one is just kinda intense:


Oh too many great songs out there..
