Song Of The Day

[Ingot54 13]

I was 15 years old when this movie was released, and deeply "in love" with my first serious girlfriend - a relationship that lasted 7 years! Even today I admit to heavy feelings of loss and homesickness when I hear this song - it is hard-wired in there, to those fragile and "eternal" feelings.

 

I hope you will indulge me as I present "Lara's Theme" - the theme-song from "Dr Zhivago."

 

You can Google the Ray Conniff Singers version for a lyrical version, which includes clips from the film. Better still, this is a "must see" movie, and I suggest getting the DVD/VCR if you can, and experience it live.

 

It may or may not be true that first love is the best love, but it seems possible to experience love in many forms, and if you have it, then cherish it.

This would be the first song by a group that my kids like, that I also found palatable!

 

Well I tell a lie ... the first was Black Betty by Spiderbait! And the version I chose for this post is a little more entertaining than staring at the dust-jacket for 3:27!

 

So I guess I can toss them both on the board. Can't give you that much history about either group - I wasn't really interested enough to check 'em out on wiki-p!

 

Seriously though ... I found they just grew on me.

 

Was our music of the 60's and 70's all that much different?

 

Nope!

 

Enjoy.

Just 'cos it's Sunday, let's stretch it a little further ...

 

This one I have renamed: "Spot the Trader!"

My wife is a great person - she takes an active interest in my trading,and today I'd like to honor her by posting a song she recommended to me, by that great comedian, Nick Arandes.

 

Nick is probably better known in the US for his stand-up comedy. Until today I had not heard of him or his comedy - never mind that he has a great voice. There is much more to him than comedy, as we shall shortly see.

 

This song will touch you. The guy sings with the the same vigor with which he lives his life ... to the max. Today it was a toss-up between this song, or "Here I am" - another worthy contender for space here. I encourage you to Google that number.

 

Today we are blessed with "I Believe in You" ... for your listening pleasure.

Good morning all - this week I felt another delicious serving of "country" would put us in touch with our inner pathos ... or turn us off for good!

 

But to ease your pain ... or heighten your delight - I have chosen Shania Twain - a Canadian country music icon - to make you choose!

 

First-up we are treated to some of the finest country music accompaniment through the soulful twang of Willie Nelson's guitar, as he supports Shania singing "Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain". I probably won't get away with posting any more country stuff here, so will duck for cover after this second number.

 

This time it is Shania Twain singing "Coat of Many Colors" far better than Dolly Parton ever did, though that is debatable because the original vintage Dolly is always going to have its unique character indelibly written in Country Music Halls of Fame.

 

Dolly does a cameo appearance (from the stalls) in this second number!

 

Enjoy!

For all the true believers out there, there is always more CCR available!

 

Some of their classic early stuff still commands good airplay. Not too many bands still endure to this extent.

 

Today we have "I wrote a song for Everyone" and "Someday Never Comes."

 

But really it wouldn't matter which of their songs are put up - it can't be bad ... right?

Just a quick post with a Roy Orbison double. Right until his untimely passing he retained his unique vocal ability, no better illustrated than in these two classic songs:

 

"It's Over"

and

 

"Crying"

Thx, The Dude... I haven't listened to the Talking Heads in quite some time. Am listening to "Psycho Killer ATM.

 

 

PS: took care of the 2 poats.

[Ingot54 13]

Hey! Some great stuff coming up now.

 

I have never heard these last few groups - thx heaps for posting.

 

Just wanted to "sober" you all up again with this one from Gordon Lightfoot.

 

The song we all know. Enjoy!

Skip the extra links if you like - just a bit of history, but good to know the background.

The Australian band "Skyhooks" features today.

 

The lead singer, Graeme "Shirley" Strachan died prematurely in a tragic helicopter accident, in August 2001. Not known in the rest of the world - they had a number of #1 hits here. One comment on Skyhooks was: they were "just 5 Aussie blokes having a good time" and that probably sums it up well.
