I will make an effort next time, I've never done it before but I'll try. having said that, I personally like to see things written as well like no regrets for instance (not dance me to the end of love though, wow )

- you should know better that give me a challenge as well

Dance Me To The End Of Love"

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove
Dance me to the end of love x 3

Old Cohen is nearly as good as YOUNG Cohen - not bad for someone who can probably hardly remember a day before he was 40. If you remember the 60's you weren't there - would be his words, not mine lol.
 

Sorry to teach you blokes to suck eggs, all pretty obvious, but there are often great comments added under song on youtube..
Here are a couple ..

Rocky110:- ( a 61 year old irishman lol) (4 weeks ago) "This is one hell of a sound from Cohen and everyone else. I agree with Dylan that there ain't nothing that's "perfect". But in this case I'll have to make make an exception. A perfect exception. But where and when was it perfected? "

- old irish trick - charm you with riddles lol - love it.

Ciurtea:- (a 36 year old Romanian) "This video is real perfect.A perfect combination voices and instruments.

aladinsane777 :-(a 36 year old pom) , (1 week ago) "WOW WHAT A TRACK WOW WHAT A TRACK HOW HAUNTING "

lol - typical brit humour too - a lad insane? lol

I feel like posting

"talk about the virgin roses, talk about this thorn between
just a magic song for evenings when the "softer side" is seen
ahh , this song is nigh unknown, yet it comes damn close to "strewth!"
with this crusty bard called cohen and those crystal buds of youth" "

you can post this to realist, he has to feel something surely

As for the thorn, with a voice/talent like that he deserves the two roses!
 
here's a comparison of old and new:-

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9FXXGHr2Nc&NR -calif dreaming, mummas and the pappas

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Dwgr2x3NdU - californication red hot chili peppers. (I have to admit the special effects are ... different - "competing disasters" yet again sheesh - no wonder my kids are screwed up lol)

I tell my kids that RHCP are about 2/10 - that's the censored version lol - they'd shoot me if I really told what I think of the comparison lol. (they are addicted to this stuff, lol - no taste)

PS what about the special effects with mammas and the pappas - where the gogo dancers rise out of the bathtubs , ROFL

2020, re the Ray Stevens song, if you send me an email at tminaust@yahoo.com.au I will try to send you a copy (can't post mp3 extensions here). Great song and sung with passion (or maybe I am just showing that I was raised in the 70s ....lol).
 
My dad played this song when we were kids and I still like it all these years on.I know the name and band.Does anyone else? :dance:


There is a girl,she`s a model in a magazine.
Anywhere in the world,she`s a natural born cover queen.
Eyes that stare into space,with every feature in it`s perfect place.
I can`t understand this crazy schoolboy affair.
This adolescent fantasy.
From this photoplay face ,
That everyone wishes they could be.

THE PRAYER

I pray you'll be our eyes, and watch us where we go.
And help us to be wise in times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way
Lead us to the place, guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe

La luce che tu hai , I pray we'll find your light
nel cuore resterà , and hold it in our hearts.
a ricordarci che , When stars go out each night,
eterna stella sei
(you are eternal star )

Nella mia preghiera , Let this be our prayer
quanta fede c'è , when shadows fill our day

How much faith there's , Let this be our prayer
in my prayer , when shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe

Sognamo un mondo senza più violenza
un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace, di fraternità

We dream a world without violence
a world of justice and faith.
Everyone gives the hand to his neighbours
Symbol of peace, of fraternity

La forza che ci dà , We ask that life be kind
è il desiderio che , and watch us from above
ognuno trovi amor , We hope each soul will find
intorno e dentro sé

another soul to love , The force his gives us
We ask that life be kind is wish that
and watch us from above , everyone finds love
We hope each soul will find around and inside
another soul to love
Let this be our prayer
Let this be our prayer, just like every child

Need to find a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
Need to find a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe

È la fede che
hai acceso in noi,
sento che ci salverà

It's the faith , you light in us
I feel it will save us

PS for the other song back there , "all by myself" - try to get to the 3m0s mark at least - she changes key very dramatically
 
sorry folks, this is seriously low key - unless you like violin I suppose. Heard it (reminded of it) on Qantas the other day.

I've got a bike you can ride it if you like
It's got a basket, a bell and lots of things to make it look good
I'd give it to you if I could
But I borrowed it.

I don't why I call him Gerald.
He's getting rather old but he's a good mouse.

That's a gr8 song breakeven, maybe someone here knows how to post a 3.5MB song ? Up to them to offer I guess.

PS Maybe one of us should upload it to youtube - that's stage 2 lol maybe next year ( I notice the kids have default for this computer I'm on)
 
Here are two alternative productions of JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR (1973, and 2000). Two versions of each song. The 1973 version is set “on site” – adds to the interest.

Couple of examples :-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytNoiQ8LkS8 heaven on their mind 1973
Comment on youtube :- Pomtiedom, 56 year old dutchman "... I like the way the loneliness of this guy is accentuated by the vastness of the desert around him. Besides that, great performance by Carl Anderson"

and another :- GenocidalWings, 19 year old USA ..."Alright guys. Carl Anderson was a f*** LEGEND. The Judas in the 2000 version was a JOKE. That guy can't sing for his life. This guy here has such a powerful voice. Its just plain amazing"

Here's the 2000 version no one seems to like (that'll teach him to deviate from the accepted interpretation , lol) :-

HEAVEN ON THEIR MINDS (JUDAS )

My mind is clearer now.
At last all too well
I can see where we all soon will be.
If you strip away The myth from the man,
You will see where we all soon will be. Jesus!
You've started to believe
The things they say of you.
You really do believe
This talk of God is true.
And all the good you've done
Will soon get swept away.
You've begun to matter more
Than the things you say.

Listen Jesus I don't like what I see.
All I ask is that you listen to me.
And remember, I've been your right hand man all along.
You have set them all on fire.
They think they've found the new Messiah.
And they'll hurt you when they find they're wrong.

I remember when this whole thing began.
No talk of God then, we called you a man.
And believe me, my admiration for you hasn't died.
But every word you say today
Gets twisted 'round some other way.
And they'll hurt you if they think you've lied.
Nazareth, your famous son should have stayed a great unknown
Like his father carving wood He'd have made good.
Tables, chairs, and oaken chests would have suited Jesus best.
He'd have caused nobody harm; no one alarm.

Listen, Jesus, do you care for your race?
Don't you see we must keep in our place?
We are occupied; have you forgotten how put down we are?

I am frightened by the crowd.
For we are getting much too loud.
And they'll crush us if we go too far.
If they go too far....

Listen, Jesus, to the warning I give.
Please remember that I want us to live.
But it's sad to see our chances weakening with every hour.
All your followers are blind.
Too much heaven on their minds.
It was beautiful, but now it's sour.
Yes it's all gone sour.

Listen, Jesus, to the warning I give.
Please remember that I want us to live.
C'mon, c'mon
He won't listen to me ...
C'mon, c'mon
He won't listen to me ...

I notice what I believe to be some new words in the 2000 version ..
"and our conquerors object
to another noisy sect " etc

This includes both 1973 and 2000.

Two comments:-
a) HOW GOOD IS THIS MUSIC, AND
B) HOW KIND IS THIS BLOKE TO DO ALL THIS WORK !? sheesh
Here are his notes when he posted it:-

 
See the other music thread for the context of this post.

At The Drive In with Invalid Litter Dept:

Intravenously polite, it was the walkie-talkies
That had knocked the pins down
As their shoes gripped the dirt floor
In the silhouette of dying.
(Dancing on the corpse's ashes...)

Yeah, they had plans for him
But they had spun the last of the pimps
Polyester, satin nailed, jewelery lips
While the guillotine just laughed again.
(Dancing on the corpse's ashes...)

And the paramedics fell into the wound
Like a rehired scab at a barehanded plant,
An anaesthetic penance beneath
The hail of contraband.
(Dancing on the corpse's ashes.)

On my way,
Nails broke and fell
Into the
Wishing well.
Wishing well.
Wishing well.

On my way,
Nails broke and fell
Into the
Wishing well.
Wishing well.
Wishing well.

They had defected and been excommunicated
And all the pulses were subverted,
And they made sure the obituaries
Showed pictures of smoke stacks.
(Dancing on the corpse's ashes...)

A vivid dissection that mocked
The strut of vivisection
A semi-automatic colony
And a silencing that still walks the streets.
(Dancing on the corpse's ashes...)

In the company of wolves
Was a stretcher made of
Cobblestone curfews.
And the federales performed
Their custodial customs quite well.
(Dancing on the corpse's ashes.)

On my way,
Nails broke and fell
Into the
Wishing well.
Wishing well.
Wishing well.

On my way,
Nails broke and fell
Into the
Wishing well.
Wishing well.
Wishing well.

On my way,
Nails broke and fell
Into the
Wishing well.
Wishing well.
Wishing well.

On my way,
Nails broke and fell

Wishing well.

Intravenously polite, it was the walkie-talkies
That had knocked the pins down
As their shoes lay dangling on the dirt floor
In the silhouette of dying.

Well, yeah, they had plans for him
But they had spun the last of the pimps
Polyester, satin nailed, jewelery lips
While the guillotine just laughed again.

On my way...
Dancin' on the corpse's ashes...
Dancin' on the corpse's ashes...

Callous heels,
Numbed in travel
Endless maps made
By their scalpels.
Scalpels.

Callous heels,
Numbed in travel
Endless maps made

Scalpels...
 
"One day I'll fly away"

I may get along, when love is gone
Still you made your mark, here in my heart
One day I'll fly away Leave your love to yesterday
What more can your love do for me?
When will love be through with me?
I followed the night Can't stand the light
When will I begin My life again
One day I'll fly away Leave your love to yesterday
What more can your love do for me?
When will love be through with me?
Why live life from dream to dream
And dread the day that dreaming ends
One day I'll fly away Leave your love to yesterday
What more can your love do for me?
When will love be through with me?
Why live life from dream to dream
And dread the day that dreaming ends
One day I'll fly away
