FLEETWOOD MAC - Oh Well (1969 UK TV Performance) ~ HIGH QUALITY HQ~

The young Berklee students have won some Boston busking permits for themselves. They are carrying on the rock n roll traditions. Treated to many riffs.

Somehow, it triggered this earworm.

Oh Well should be towards the top of the best opening riff list!
 
Delicate by Damien Rice

Lyrics:

We might kiss when we are alone
When nobody's watching
We might take it home
We might make out when nobody's there
It's not that we're scared
It's just that it's delicate

So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've known
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why do you sing with me at all?

We might live like never before
When there's nothing to give
Well how can we ask for more
We might make love in some sacred place
The look on your face is delicate

So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've known
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why do you sing with me at all?

So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've known
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why do you sing with me at all?
 
futzing around youtube, found this old curiosity

Bare trees, gray light
Oh yeah it was a cold night

Bare trees, gray light

I was alone in the cold of a winters day
You were alone and so snug in your bed
I was alone in the cold of a winters day
You were alone and so snug in your bed


Bare Trees

Yeah, its a great one. There's a cool Joe Jackson cover of that tune that I really like. It plays up the latin thing even more.
Here's a live version

They took away my Walkman. Now, they want to take away my CDs.

Sure, LP records are wonderful things to have. But, you cannot carry picnic players, everywhere.

Most new release vinyl comes with a download code so you have the LP plus a portable version.
I like that one. The congas are great!

That one was followed by a Joe Jackson, Todd Rundgren and a string quartet cover of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" not bad

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmWL3SgAjJk

Sue Hadjopoulos, the percussionist is amazing. She's done a ton of work with Joe, including the Night and Day record, which is fantastic front to back.

I saw the While My Guitar Gently Weeps video too. I dug it.
 
Listening to a young woman treat a song with her greatest efforts, and all of her resources

The sound of ice

(on youtube)

Henrik Trygg


blurb


Dec 7, 2017

This is how 45mm new black ice sounds like. Don't forget to put on the sound.
Recorded on Lissma Kvarnsjö outside Stockholm the 5th of December.

On the lake called Lissma Kvarnsjö near Stockholm, a brave man skates on new ice that is only a couple of inches thick (45mm). The ice sings and groans and echoes as he glides along. Those who've done this say that the skater doesn't hear much of this, that it takes some distance for the sound to reverberate properly.


The eerie sounds are generated by a phenomenon called acoustic dispersion. There's a neat explanation in this video. In case you are simply disappointed that he never fell through the ice, you'll be rewarded by watching this clip.


http://www.neatorama.com/2018/02/13/The-Sound-of-Thin-Ice-Singing/



This guy skated across the ice and created weird sounds as he moved. Since there were layers of air and water under the ice, the frozen surface acted like a vibrating cymbal as he skated all over the scenic area.

The Original Caste - One Tin Soldier

Go ahead and hate your neighbour
Go ahead and cheat a friend
Do it in the name of heaven
Justify it in the end
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
 
Return to sender, address unknown
No such number, no such zone
Return to sender, return to sender
Return to sender, return to sender
 
You're the One

The Vogues

(1965)

in the blurts on youtube-


Petula Clark wrote the music and Tony Hatch wrote the words...although a hit for her in the UK she was happy to let the Vogues have a hit with their version in the U.S without putting hers out as single there


So, there is!

Petula Clark You're The One

Pet should have recorded with the Vogues. All of that heavy tomato-sauce strings sapped the song of vitality.
 
I have an earworm that has the message, "nothing to fear, nothing to dread."
But, I cannot place it. Was it spoken word, inside the song ?Perhaps it was not a song at all.

*sigh*

Take it on the run baby if that’s the way you want a baby that I don’t want you around
 
If I Was Your Girlfriend
-Prince

Look at the bargains over here, ladies

Ooh, oh
Ooh, hoo, oh yeah
Ooh, hoo
If I was your girlfriend, would you remember
To tell me all the things you forgot when I was your man?
Hey hey, when I was your man

If I was your best friend, would you let me
Take care of you and do all the things that only a best friend can?
Oh, only best friends can

If I was your girlfriend
Ooh, hoo, ho ooh
If I was your girlfriend

If I was your girlfriend, would you let me dress you
I mean, help you pick out your clothes before we go out?
Not that you're helpless
But sometime, sometime those are the things that bein' in love's about

If I was your one and only friend
Would you run to me if somebody hurt you even if that somebody was me, yeah
Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be, please

If I was your girlfriend
Ooh, hoo, hoo
If I was your girlfriend

Would you let me wash your hair?
Could I make you breakfast sometime?
Well then, could we just hang out
I mean, could we go to a movie and cry together?
'Cause to me baby, that would be so fine (that would be so fine), ooh

(If I was your girlfriend)
Baby, can I dress you
I mean, help you pick out your clothes before we go out? (if I was your girlfriend)
Listen girl, I ain't sayin you're helpless
But sometime, sometime those are the things that bein' in love's about

Sugar
Sugar, do you know what I'm saying to you this evening? (If I was your girlfriend)
Maybe you think I'm being a little self-centered
But I, I said I want to be all of the things you are to me (if I was your girlfriend)
Surely, surely you can see

Is it really necessary for me to go out of the room
Just because you want to undress?
We don't have to make children to make love

And we don't have to make love to have an orgasm
Your body's what I'm all about
Can I see it?
I'll show you
Why not?

You can do it because I'm your friend
I'd do it for you
Of course I'd undress in front of you
And when I'm naked, what shall I do?

How can I make you see that it's cool?
Can't you just trust me?
If I was your girlfriend, you could
Oh yeah, I think so

Listen, for you naked I would dance a ballet
Would that get you off?
Tell me what will
If I was your girlfriend, would you tell me?

Would you let me see you naked then?
Would you let me give you a bath?
Would you let me tickle you so hard you'd laugh and laugh

And would you, would you let me kiss you there
You know, down there where it counts
I'll do it so good, I swear I'll drink every ounce
And then I'll hold you tight and hold you long
And together we'll stare into silence

And we'll try to imagine what it looks like
Yeah, we'll try to imagine what, what silence looks like
Yeah, we'll, we'll try to imagine what silence looks like
Yeah, we'll try
