    The first time I heard this was on a British Airlines TV ad for the Concorde, obviously at least 25 years ago.

    That made me go find it.

            I used to know the difference between a xylophone and a glockenspiel.

            But now I can't marimba...

            The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

              A friend of mine did reviews of the Chopin etudes and Beethoven Moonlight Sonata for Gramophone. Nice way to choose some favorite recordings to listen to.

                Kind of a sad/gruesome background to this album by Allison Moorer. It talks about the tragedy when she was a teenager of when her father killed her mother and then committed suicide. But it is still very good.

                Link to video

                Lyrics
                [Verse 1]
                The night was hot and steamy and crickets played their tune
                Everyone was sleeping under an August moon
                Except one man that sat awake, slowly going mad
                Regretting that he'd thrown away the only love he had

                [Verse 2]
                A slave to the bottle, he'd driven his family to leave
                A wife and two daughters he treated so terribly
                Drunk with grief and loneliness, he wasn't thinking straight
                He knew he couldn't live unless they pardoned his mistakes

                [Verse 3]
                He went into the city to try to make amends
                Asked his love for pity but she would not give in
                Overwhelmed with sadness, he reached for his gun
                And took her life along with his before the morning sun

                [Outro]
                Now they are lying in the cold, cold earth
                Such a sad, sad story; such a sad, sad world

                                    A "bit" more uplifting. 😛 The last song from the album,

                                    Link to video

                                    [Verse 1]
                                    No matter how I try, I end up on the ground
                                    Another orphan waitin' in the lost-and-found
                                    Over and over, I take it on the chin
                                    Fists up to the world, fighting a fight I cannot win

                                    [Chorus]
                                    Help me lay my weapons down
                                    Help me give the love I feel
                                    Help me hold myself with kindness
                                    And help me heal
                                    Remove all of the false
                                    Show me what is real
                                    Oh Lord, help me heal

                                    [Verse 2]
                                    Yeah, I'm tough but I wasn't born this way
                                    I grew hard because I had to, carrying the weight
                                    I wanna let it go, I wanna set it free
                                    But everywhere I turn the fight follows me

                                    [Chorus]
                                    Help me lay my weapons down
                                    Help me give the love I feel
                                    Help me hold myself with kindness
                                    And help me heal
                                    Remove all of the false
                                    Show me what is real
                                    Oh Lord, help me heal

                                    [Chorus]
                                    Help me lay my weapons down
                                    Help me give the love I feel
                                    Help me hold myself with kindness
                                    And help me heal
                                    Remove all of the false
                                    Show me what is real

                                      That was nice, thanks TG. Kind of melancholy and sad, but a beautiful song.
