Tribute to the Dead

I'll just leave these here. Promise not to post any classical piano music. Yet? (But that's where the best music is, dammit.)

RIP, Joseph, Jacques, but "most of all" Eva. What a frightfully pure timbre and ennobling phrasing of voice!
Kosma-Prévert-Cassidy - Autumn Leaves [Live]

RIP, Nick. Lord of all that is doomed. Prophetic, clear, and true.
Nick Drake - Fruit Tree

RIP, George. Janis: Nothing compares.
Gershwin-Joplin - Summertime

RIP, Nick. Again. Because you were just too much.
Nick Drake - Clothes of Sand

RIP, Tom. Okay, he's not _technically_ dead, but what else could explain that voice other than his being a laryngitic zombie?
Tom Waits - Burma Shave

And finally, a masterpiece on the death of music itself:
Spiderbait - Glockenpop
 
Ode to the Living

Part II: Ode to the Living

Time to do some searching for good tracks from those who're still with us. All mostly live performances that have touched me, though there are millions more:

An homage to the man who introduced me to _Infinite Jest_, a book without which I wouldn't... uh... just please read (all of) it. Proud to have been at this gig, and no, I wasn't chatting through it:
Paul Dempsey - Be Somebody [Live]

Tori Amos covers something familiar which makes one wonder if it shouldn't have always come from her:
Cobain-Amos - Smells Like Teen Spirit

The Pixies live at the BBC, Caribou, equal parts hate and hope:
The Pixies - Caribou [Live]

Suzanne knows poison, and is willing to risk it:
Suzanne Vega - Caramel [Live]

SOS
Alice in Chains - Rooster

Can't help but love a trans-inclusionary track, especially when it's this damn good!
Manic Street Preachers - Born a Girl

Recently broken up with a partner? Got you covered, with perhaps the best separation song ever:
Mountain Goats - No Children

Conjoined twins? Dissociative Identity Disorder? Fine:
Evelyn, Evelyn - Evelyn, Evelyn

Lera Lynn tells us what it is to watch a loved one disappear:
Lera Lynn - Least Favourite Life [Live]

The last time you were hospitalised, there _was_ that special one, right. . .?
A Perfect Circle - The Nurse Who Loved Me

Won't someone think of the... (album's title spelt backwards)?
I Monster - These Are Our Children

Almost there now, time to begin?
Something for Kate - Begin

That's it... until the third (and first) episode of piano music. Because that's where the soul of music lies. It's not just 'cause I'm a classically trained pianist, I promise. No bias whatsoever. *cough*
