stobro 502 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 My dad passed away five years ago. Ever since then, I can't hear O Holy Night without thinking of the time he got to sing it solo during midnight Mass one Christmas. Get's me every time. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rugby1970 1,007 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 I Am A Rock by Simon & Garfunkel. I used the lyrics as my sister's eulogy three years ago. She was the rock for all of her many girlfriends but she hurt as much or more than any of them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And remember: landscape orientation. Since this would be a video selfie, wouldn't portrait orientation be more appropriate? Unless, of course, you want to see the backdrop of his seedy room, which may reveal why he's weeping. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rockola 271 Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 (edited) Jeebuz - there's a lot of snark, even for HFC. I get it. I crashed a couple of years ago (JackC and HHB know some of the story) but recovered. Somewhere in that state/moment Someone Saved My Life Tonight became a fact in my life. It was benign at first then overwhelmed me. Nostalgia was passed by my condition. That's when it happened for me. There is so much music to change my mood ~ In a good way. Bowie's Sound And Vision comes to mind... But it makes me smile, want to play guitar, dance, check on an old friend, etc. So, for my snark, I honestly didn't know there were lyrics to Down To The Waterline. I guess I am one of those souls that wait for the solo over the singing. I'm sure there's some Richard Thompson song somewhere that would rip my heart.

Biz Prof 4,598 Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Hard to believe that we're now three pages into this thread, and not one person has mentioned this dirge, which was written in D minor, the saddest of all keys. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BruceM 1,388 Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 AC/DC - Thunderstruck Instant goosebumps when I hear the opening riff, which last until those killer crunch riffs kick in and then my eyes start watering. It's a conditioned response at this point in my life. Happens with the cello guys' version, and with the bluegrass version too. I can't think of another song that has such a visceral reaction on me. I just played the song at high volume to make sure. Yup, still works. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Willie G. Moseley 3,248 Posted August 7 Author Share Posted August 7 As the O.P., I'm curious as to why this thread got cranked back up after being in stasis for about ten months. Johnny B's 'kickoff ' for the second run is well-stated and meaningful, but one wonders if the lockdown has made any folks more open, personality-wise, since they're restricted/less socially active and/or are having to adjust when it comes to personal movement....and I bet a lot of us didn't figure we'd still be staying safe by now...

Rockola 271 Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 (edited) OF all the things... I just inherited two Bacon & Day tenor banjos LY. They are beautiful gold and silver but I'm not ready to test that theory. Plus, I ain't no David Lindley. Edit ! Would have preferred the Browning Sweet -16 and the belgium browning shotguns.

mudshark 3,033 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 (edited) I literally come to tears sometimes when i hear The Animals' "We Gotta Get Out of This Place." That was our theme song in Vietnam, and I still feel a flood of memories, good and bad, when hear it almost 50 years after leaving there. That was always the last song Filipino bands would play at the base EM club in Da Nang. I can close my eyes and see a bunch of 19-year-olds drunkenly singing along. I still know all the words. Sometimes I think youth is wasted on young people, but I know that's not true. Edited August 14 by mudshark 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Willie G. Moseley 3,248 Posted August 13 Author Share Posted August 13 The Animals were my favorite original British Invasion band. They were grittier, had a blue collar attitude and played riffs and licks that an untold number of would-be players tried to copy on their Silvertone amp-in-the-case guitars. Heard back in the day about the connection of "We Gotta Get Out of This Place" to 'Nam. Over half a century later, it's meaningful to note the validation by someone who was there. Thanks for your service. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not ANYTHING as meaningful as 'Nam, but our employee band got a great kick out of playing that at City functions and various fundraisers. Sort of our master plan.....Dan and I were sometimes co-leaders. He and I (and his wife) all did pull the plug on the same day....Man alive, that was FIFTEEN years ago! I guess I more chuckle than weep, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
