Music You Love

[ArMaP]

They sound technically good, but I don't think they feel what they are singing.

PS: I only watched the first video.

it's hard to get the real  chants on you tube.. they are hard to record
if you sit straight and close your eyes and then take a DEEP breath ..listen to a few minutes of this

One of my favourite songs ever, one almost as old as I am.




Another song I love, that I just heard on the radio and that I feel is somewhat related to the one above, at least from my point of view.
(I didn't choose the official video because that's the shorter version)

J. Geils of 1980s J. Geils band found dead in his Groton, Mass. home 1 / 4

ohn Warren Geils Jr., the artist known professionally as J. Geils who gave his name to the 1980s rock group he founded, The J. Geils Band, was found dead in his Groton, Mass., home Tuesday. He was 71.
Groton Chief of Police Donald Palma Jr. confirmed the death, adding in a press release that a preliminary investigation "indicates that Geils died of natural causes."

Palma said that because the death was "unattended," it will be investigated but "foul play is not suspected at this time." He said Groton police went to the home around 4 p.m. ET in response to a well-being check and found Geils unresponsive.

Geils was a vocalist and guitarist for The J. Geils Band, which he formed in Worcester, Mass., in 1967, when he was attending school at Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

In the 1970s, the band achieved success with a bluesy-rock sound and built up a strong following by constant touring, opening for such bands as The Allman Brothers and The Byrds. They were known for their use of the harmonica as a lead instrument.

They moved to a more mainstream hit-making new-wave sound in the 1980s. Their third album, Freeze Frame, was No. 1 for four weeks in 1983, and its hit song, Centerfold, was No. 1 for six weeks on the Billboard Top 100. Another song fans might remember from 1980: The humorous Love Stinks.

The band broke up in 1985 but got back together for reunions regularly.

When not playing music, Geils was restoring sports cars, starting a performance shop, KTR European Motorsports, in Ayer, Mass., after he started collecting Italian motorcycles and sports cars. According to Hemmings, a car-collecting marketplace online, by the time he sold the business about a decade ago, it was known as the "house that rock built."

In 1992, Geils joined his old bandmate Richard "Magic Dick" Salwitz to form the band Bluestime, which released two records: the self-titled Bluestime (1994) and Little Car Blues (1996) on Rounder Records.

The J. Geils Band was nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for the fourth time last fall but again was not selected as part of the 2017 class. At the time, Salwitz told Billboard, "It's great to be recognized, but it's a drag to be disappointed."

Why would I believe that?

you shouldn't i was being facetious ..sorry 


This was one of the first songs written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. The Stones manager, Andrew Oldham, gave it to a singer he also managed named Marianne Faithfull, who released it in 1964. It was going to be the B-side of her first single, but the record company decided to make it the A-side and it became her first hit. The Stones recorded it a year later. Faithfull became Mick Jagger's girlfriend in 1966. Their tumultuous relationship ended 3 years later. In that time, she helped write "Sister Morphine" and gave Jagger the book that inspired "Sympathy For The Devil."

I love this Album.

It remind's me of so many different listening experience throughout life.  It can transport me to a time when I was in grade 3-4 class and the teacher had Classic FM playing in the background.  It can herald back to my punk era sound wise regarding how it's so inaccessible to most people.  It can be the Future and how I imagined music may sound when all the sound's were exhausted.

It's an album that I recommend to play in the background whilst doing something contemplative! (much like classical music really)

This song I love which I found here years ago on Jack Arneson's section via The Living Moon is Grand.

Clair De Lune is Always Grand, but on Jack's Page it was even more so!
