1. me too, crim son

:)


so beautiful

[crim son]

3. I'm glad you like it too.

:hug:

[Karenca]

14. I do.

Thank you for posting it. :hug:

[SPKrazy]

2. I Wanna Dance With You

to that song

:shrug:

I just do, it's a beautiful song

:hug:

[crim son]

4. I would if you were here.

I love that entire album. Another song, "Love Is Everything" I've been obsessed with for a long time.

[SPKrazy]

8. Thank You...

I would if I were there for sure...

it's a nice song...

I like K.D. Lang too.

very mellow stuff...

:hug:

I'm very mellow right now too...

how are you friend?

[crim son]

10. I'm great, although starting to get tired.

The day has been calm and the STBE has gone down to Boston for a few days. Life is good. :)

[SPKrazy]

12. Yeah, That's Good...

I read that earlier...

:hug:

[crim son]

13. Oh, sorry. I write to two friends with your name and I swear

I forget what I've written to which one of you. Also, I'm at the mumbling stage. Sent you a PM and am about to sign off. Be a good fellow and get your butt to bed at a reasonable time. :hi: Goodnight! :loveya:

[Danger Mouse]

5. If there is a heaven, this is the song I'd always thought I'd hear...

Radiohead's 'Motion Picture Soundtrack'
this is what my twisted mind sees as unsurpassed beauty...
I also consider the 4th Movement of Mahler's 5th Sypmphony to be heavenly...
the music video is here

and a live version here

[crim son]

6. That is beautiful. I've bookmarked it.

I imagine heaven would be full of music and I'd like to melt into it.

[Danger Mouse]

9. I'm glad you can appreciate it as well.

If I'm in the right mood, it makes me cry...
'Stop sending letters, letters always get burned'
Makes me think of one of the many ex-girlfriends...sigh

[crim son]

11. Sometimes I have to stop listening to certain music for a while -

years, even, for the same reason. If they've forgotten you, you must forget them. :hug: :hug:

[Danger Mouse]

15. She hasn't forgotten me.

We'll never forget each other.
It wasn't a good relationship, but I never felt about anyone the way I felt about her...
This song, which I think is also beautiful, was what first connected us...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIp--5E3AbY
Definitely one of my favorite songs, if not my favorite.
And it was us, and always will be us.
I guess I can look at the good that came out of her as well as the bad.
We're still friends, at least. Only recently did we devote a night to exorcising our demons.
I've never done that with any ex before, really, and it was really good for both of us.

[crim son]

19. It didn't make you sad?

I don't know how I'd be able to do that, unless a few years have passed. Maybe more than a few. That's also a wonderful song, Elrond. I haven't heard it before.

[Danger Mouse]

35. Having heard it, I doubt you'll forget it.

It's always haunted me, from the first time.
Pay attention to the lyrics, they're incredibly moving.
It was sad, but it was necessary...there was incredible amounts of hurt still lingering, and when we finally purged all of that, it was so cleansing for the both of us, we both felt whole again, and more secure in our friendship.
A few years had passed, of course, enough time for us to be able to look at our horrid behavior objectively. She was shocked at some of the stuff she did to me when we were together, lol...she'd say 'I really did that???'
Ah well...memories...good and painful.

[Danger Mouse]

7. This song is beautiful.

She has a wonderful voice.

[u4ic]

16. She is, hands down -

my favourite female singer.

This song gives me shivers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AW_H-VeTv8g

[crim son]

17. That's on the same album.

My favorite two songs on it, though I like every one of them, are A Case of You, and Love Is Everything. I like Halleluia too.

Canadians have good taste in music, don't we? :D

[u4ic]

26. We do!

:toast:



Hymns of the 49th Parallel is the album that I listen more often than any other. It is pure magic.

[auntAgonist]

18. I knew there was a reason I liked you so much

I LOVE k.d.lang. Her voice sends chills up my spine.

Do you have her latest album "Hymns of the 49th Parallel" ? The Valley is on it.

aA
:hug:

thanks for the video.

[crim son]

21. I do have the album and it's one of my all-time favorites.

I'm listening to u4ic's "Halleluia" link right now. I knew there was a reason I like you too! :hug:

[Redstone]

20. I'm sorry, kiddo, but I have to tell you that she sang flat at least four times in the

first stanza. (I'm cursed with the aural version of perfect pitch; I can't hum an A440 for you, but I can tell when one piano string is tuned half an em too sharp.)

No, when you go to heaven, you want to be able to write songs and sing like this young lady:

Redstone

[crim son]

22. I do like your song!

I agree that Ms. Lang's live performance was not perfect, but in heaven, mine would be. I think it would take more than a taste of heaven to enable me to actually write any music at all... I have no ability there. Hi, Redstone! :hi:

[Redstone]

34. No, you do not have "no ability." Christ, if I can write songs and sell them (which I have

done), ANYONE should be able to.

Never, EVER say to yourself "I can't do that."

Because you can do anything.

Not to be throwing platitudes at you or anything, but what I said above is true. I never studied to be a musician, but I did just that with reasonable success until my physical problems made me stop. I never studied to be a graphic artist, but I've made a damn good living for 14 years making prety pictures for people.

Again: You can do ANYTHING. You just have to want to.

(Except maybe singing; there are some people who just can't.)

Redstone

[Danger Mouse]

36. Beautiful song, Redstone...

absolutely lovely

[qwertyMike]

23. Loreena McKennit

"Full Circle"
or
Rufus Wainwright "Hallelujah"

But I'll settle for kd laing

Amen

[crim son]

24. I've got some Loreena McKennit too, but not her new album.

She has a beautiful voice, I agree. Rufus Wainwright, I gotta listen to.

Amen!

[qwertyMike]

30. Loreena

Full Circle was on her first album I think.

That's gonna be my Funeral Song

[crim son]

25. Cool. You live in Halifax?

That's a great city.

[qwertyMike]

27. Halifax

Small city
or Big town

Blossoming - Love it here

You?

[crim son]

31. Bangor, Maine.

This town never changes and Halifax is far more desirable a place to live. I'm not blossoming any more than Bangor is; I expect to be fully whithered by the time my kids finish up with the local schools and I can move away. :(

[u4ic]

28. She is another favourite of mine

:thumbsup:

[auntAgonist]

29. ah another favourite of mine! YOU :)

:hug:

aA
:loveya:

[u4ic]

32. Hi auntieA!

:hug: :loveya:

How are you, my dear friend?


I heard another voice that could be the next Loreena McKennitt last Sunday. I think she's still in high school, but will go far if she pursues it, I'm sure. A beautiful, haunting voice.

[u4ic]

33. Did you hear about John Inman?
