Jeez,
I always catch these census stuff when everyone has mentioned what I would have.
Now,
Having just started an awesome relationship with the best girl in the world (OK I am in love, honeymoon period!!!!!
)
I have been feeling pretty mushy lately.
But yeah Rockee, "Gorecki - Lamb" is an awesome track. The Number 1 track of all time.
I will bore you all now with a little tale (hmm this a bit of a sop) Only this last Saturday, I was driving up to St Andrews with my girlfriend and two friends, when Gorecki came on the radio. Now at this time, I was feeling pretty happy, nice day, going to the country, with a girl who rocks my world, and good friends, etc. This song came on, and the lyrics..........sheesh just amplified my contentment and feelings of being just blessed to the extent that tears started rolling down my cheeks because my mind just felt...elevated, you know.....the feeling we all look for in bikkies I suppose. It was an awesome moment.
Just the lines.....
"I want to love you here.......till the end of time.....till the world stops turning............I've found the one....that I've been waiting for........
Sorry I had to share that one, because thats what we all try for huh? Those moments of completion, when you don't think that it can get any better. Its kind of a 'Chasing Amy' theory.
But anyway enough of that... everyone has pinched ALL the songs I would have mentioned so I will repeat just to have my say:
Pearl Jam - Black (the song that talks about losing the one you thought was your soulmate....argh, I smoked many a self-pitying billy with that song)
Jeff Buckley - Everybody here wants you (and most other stuff he does, the most tragic loss to music since Lennon)
Massive Attack - Blue Lines (the album)
Simon and Garfunkel - Scarborough O'Fair and The Boxer (Eagle dude, you have reached automatic legend status in my books for saying that - I agree Paul Simon is a fucking poet)
BT- Yes 'Dreaming' rocks
Chicane - Saltwater
PVD - For an Angel (the only time I have been really emotional at a rave on the dance floor - and yes at Trade!!!)
Ben Harper - A track I can't remember, but I think it was mentioned.
Moby - Why does my heart feel so bad? - Fuck if that doesn't effect you nothing will.
And the only two not mentioned is Pink Floyd - Us and Them (that sax solo stomps on your emotions)
- The Mission - Butterfly on a Wheel.
That last one is from a UK Gothic band, that a friend used to listen to (a good friend) and we shared a tragedy around that time. I can't bear to hear it ever again.
This is a cool thread. It just shows the power of music regardless of genre. I salute you all.
