Borgoguy Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 This great tune--"Fly", by Nick Drake--just captures this morning's vibe for me. (For those interested, this is an acoustic version, which is minus the cello and violin on the album track.) Please post any songs which have/do evoke some emotion in you. FHGMw_9Op3A Please give me a second grace Please give me a second face I've fallen far down The first time around Now I just sit on the ground in your way Now if it's time to recompense for what's done Come, come sit down on the fence in the sun And the clouds will roll by And we'll never deny It's really too hard for to fly. Please tell me your second name Please play me your second game I've fallen so far For the people you are I just need your star for a day. So come, come ride in my my street-car by the bay For now I must know how fine you are in your way And the sea sure as I But she wont need to cry For it's really too hard for to fly.

Borgoguy Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 Enuff Z'Nuff Fly High Michelle W3Ievg11f8c Six o'clock in the morning Still sitting here pouring The drinks 'til they're gone We did everything together Would have done it forever How did we go wrong? I know that what goes up Comes down I didn't know you'd hit the ground Why d'you have to give it up? (Fly high Michelle) Well you was just a little girl (Fly high Michelle) I'll never look into your blue eyes (Fly high Michelle) Fly high Michelle We did it just for a good time A misunderstood time We lived with the fear I wish we still could of done things And not overhung things I wish you were here I know I live a life Of good things Until a new life begins Why d'you have to give it up? (Fly high Michelle) Well you was just a little girl (Fly high Michelle) I'll never look into your blue eyes (Fly high Michelle) Fly high Michelle I say another prayer Tonight That i'll see you in the light You had to give it up (Fly high Michelle) Well you was just a little girl (Fly high Michelle) I'll never look into your blue eyes (Fly high Michelle) Fly high Michelle You had to give it up (Fly high Michelle) Well you was just a little girl (Fly high Michelle) I'll never look into your blue eyes (Fly high Michelle) Fly high Michelle Fly high Michelle Fly high Michelle Fly high Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor99 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I love Nick Drake's stuff. I wish there was more of it. That Enuff Z'Nuff video is hilarious. There was an actual pretty good song on that record, called "A New Thing". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an actual pretty good song on that record, called "A New Thing". Yeah, Nick Drake was a genius. Sad about such a gifted musician, singer and writer leaving us so soon. I always loved the the power riff in "New Thing". Those guys were actually pretty good. I remember them from Howard's show years ago. m79J_31sbLg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoFlaJets Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Yeah, Nick Drake was a genius. Sad about such a gifted musician, singer and writer leaving us so soon. way too many have left us too soon BG...Harry Chapin, Tim Hardin, Jim Croce to name just 3. My contention has always been that these artists are irreplaceable-there never is someone that can step in and fill the void...Drake fits the category...who else sounds like that with those kinds of words-beautiful lyrics...I was back to listening to Gram Parsons yesterday-same deal there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There always seems to be such a heavy price tag attached to this sort of genius, no? Its almost like they see too much...feel too much...have no filter to keep out the raw brightness of life. Breaks your heart. Thanks for that Borgo, I never heard that song before. I just looked up the studio version of that and this acoustic version blows it away. Haunting.

war ensemble Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 A few of The Smashing Pumpkins' songs make me feel really nostalgic. Especially their version of Landslide. Good Charlotte's The Anthem does a solid job of describing my feelings towards my grade school and the surrounding area. That's all I can think of off the top of my head. For whatever, it's worth, I have to listen to metal or old-school rap in the morning to stay awake or get psyched for the day. But that's not an emotion, lol.

I just looked up the studio version of that and this acoustic version blows it away. Haunting. This is a brilliant description of the artist's gift and curse. Very, very well stated, 32. I'm glad you enjoyed the song. We've had a discussion about Drake before, but I'm pissed that I missed him the first time around in the 70s. I've been obsessed with "rock" music, and all its permutations, since I can remember. I still can't figure out how Drake's music eluded me until the mid-90s when a guitar teacher of mine brought him up. It is not an exaggeration that I play his music at least a couple of times each week, especially on weekend mornings. Here's another one of his compositions--Way to Blue--that is very evocative. nhN429QPKxI Don't you have a word to show what may be done Have you never heard a way to find the sun Tell me all that you may know Show me what you have to show Won't you come and say If you know the way to blue? Have you seen the land living by the breeze Can you understand a light among the trees Tell me all that you may know Show me what you have to show Tell us all today If you know the way to blue? Look through time and find your rhyme Tell us what you find We will wait at your gate Hoping like the blind. Can you now recall all that you have known? Will you never fall When the light has flown? Tell me all that you may know Show me what you have to show Won't you come and say If you know the way to blue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borgoguy Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 I could probably pick any song from The Who's Quadrophenia, Pete Townshend's brilliant look at relationships, drug abuse, and life in post-WWII England. But here are two which always get an emotional response out of me. Sea and Sand TLptuo83ewc Here by the sea and sand Nothing ever goes as planned, I just couldn't face going home It was just a drag on my own. They finally threw me out My mom got drunk on stout, My dad couldn't stand on two feet, As he lectured about morality. Now I guess the family's complete, With me hanging round on the street Or here on the beach. The girl I love Is a perfect dresser, Wears every fashion Gets it to the tee. Heavens above, I got to match her She knows just how She wants her man to be Leave it to me. My jacket's gonna be cut slim and checked Maybe a touch of seersucker with an open neck I ride a G.S. scooter with my hair cut neat I wear my wartime coat in the wind and sleet. I see her dance Across the ballroom UV light making starshine Of her smile. I am the face, She has to know me, I'm dressed up better than anyone Within a mile. So how come the other tickets look much better? Without a penny to spend they dress to the letter. How come the girls come on oh so cool Yet when you meet 'em, every one's a fool? Come sleep on the beach Keep within my reach I just want to die with you near I'm feeling so high with you here. I'm wet and I'm cold But thank God I ain't old Why didn't I ever say what I mean? I should have split home at fifteen. There's a story that the grass is so green, What did I see? Where have I been? Dr. Jimmy RVk8Ze26_PA (Beautiful second movement at approx. 3:20 is one of the best things Townshend ever wrote.) Laugh and say I'm green I've seen things you'll never see. Talk behind my back But I'm off the beaten track. I'll take on anyone Ain't scared of a bloody nose, Drink till I drop down With one eye on my clothes. What is it? I'll take it. Who is she? I'll rape it. Got a bet there? I'll meet it. Getting High? You can't beat it. Doctor Jimmy and mister Jim When I'm pilled you don't notice him, He only comes out when I drink my gin. You say she's a virgin. I'm gonna be the first in. Her fellah's gonna kill me? Oh f**king will he. I'm seeing double But don't miss me if you can. There's gonna be trouble When she choses her man. What is it? etc. Doctor Jimmy and mister Jim etc. Is it me? For a moment The stars are falling. The heat is rising The past is calling. I'm going back soon Home to get the baboon. Who cut up my eye, Messed up my Levis. I'm feeling restless Bring another score around Maybe something stronger Could really hold me down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, those headphones are part of the reason I live with tinnitus. I even plugged them into my Sunn amp while practicing bass at ridiculous volumes. Smart.

Lol Okay, for your efforts you get another Nick Drake song, Place to Be. 9IUqN9ozmhw When I was younger, younger than before I never saw the truth hanging from the door And now Im older see it face to face And now Im older gotta get up clean the place. And I was green, greener than the hill Where the flowers grew and the sun shone still Now Im darker than the deepest sea Just hand me down, give me a place to be. And I was strong, strong in the sun I thought Id see when day is done Now Im weaker than the palest blue Oh, so weak in this need for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always loved that slide guitar-driven blues/rock. That guy can play and sing his a$$ off. How unfair is it that someone with his skin tone and youth has that much soul? He reminds me a little of Ben Harper. Thanks for posting the song. I will definitely add some of Phelps' music to my collection. P.S. Welcome to the world of the "vidiots".

Three grizzled survivors of the 60's, at the absolute TOP OF THEIR GAME in this clip. You can see them all just reveling in each others amazing talent.

Like you, I was floored by the performance, especially about how those two geezers can still sing so well. Adding their concert footage to this thread is apropos because they are clearly flying, if not soaring, which seems to be Gilmour's halmark. He just seems to channel musical phrases from another galaxy or dimension. Guess that's why he fit in so well with Pink Floyd. EDIT: I think it was RAVE, not MOJO.
