Currently Listening To 2020

Me too. With this song (as with some others of theirs), I see a certain likeness to some Beatles tunes. Easy to imagine John Lennon singing this, I think...

 

@Victoria , thinking about it, this might be to your liking. It’s a tune I’m very enthusiastic about...

 

Yes with High Temptation @Freddy, that voice!

Thank you for reminding me of Del Amitri, another good Scottish band ... and that was my favourite.





All of the aforementioned bands had something special ... they had words with meanings.

These two are brilliant!

Rock n' roll is a genre I'm generally not a fan of, but I quite liked Elvis' rawer, bluesier stuff, which is why I love The Sun Sessions.

Listening to that second track @Nikolaos, the intro struck me immediately. Robert Plant recorded a track with a similar intro and song title in 1984.....

there's good rockin at midnight honeydrippers - Bing video

 

This is Svetlana Bachshina Martins, Russian married to Portuguese, a pianist and music teacher here, both known to my T'other Half through the music industry.

This is Svetlana's latest performed on Algarve's tourist pirate boat Santa Bernada in Portimao two weeks ago where they put her piano on with a crane ...





This is her performing last year on Foia (the highest point in Algarve) near where she lives and this piano was placed there by helicopter ...



A favourite of mine ...



... and for fun ...

 

Love ‘Clair De Lune’ @Victoria , always have done

Another artist I’m enthusiastic about is Brett Anderson (from the band Suede)

Here he performs an acoustic version of ‘Trash’

 

Me too, there are just some classics that are special.

 

Always listen to Pink Floyd's "The Final Cut" at this time of year, a seriously underrated album. This is my favourite track from it...

Floating down, through the clouds
Memories come rushing up to meet me now
But in the space between the heavens
And in the corner of some foreign field
I had a dream
I had a dream
Good-bye Max
Good-bye Ma
After the service, when you’re walking slowly to the car
And the silver in her hair shines in the cold November air
You hear the tolling bell
And touch the silk in your lapel
And as the tear drops rise to meet the comfort of the band
You take her frail hand
And hold on to the dream!

A place to stay
Enough to eat
Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street
Where you can speak out loud
About your doubts and fears
And what’s more, no-one ever disappears
You never hear their standard issue kicking in your door
You can relax on both sides of the tracks
And maniacs don’t blow holes in bandsmen by remote control
And everyone has recourse to the law
And no one kills the children anymore
No one kills the children anymore

Night after night
Going round and round my brain
His dream is driving me insane
In the corner of some foreign field
The gunner sleeps tonight
What’s done is done
We cannot just write off his final scene
Take heed of the dream
Take heed

 

Ah, and that reminds me of ...

 

Kinda surprised/pleased you like YES.
Seeing that steel/slide guitar put me in mind of this...
