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

          But now I can't marimba...

          "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

          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
                                  Oh Lord, help me heal

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

                                          Jess Williamson - Chasing Spirits - from Album "Time is Accidental". Good album but it is the type of style I like. LOL

                                          Link to video

                                          [Verse 1]
                                          Are my love songs lies now that the love is gone?
                                          There's the one about forever
                                          And loving you in a past life or whatever
                                          The difference between us
                                          Is when I sing it, I really mean it
                                          But I guess I wasn't listening
                                          'Cause you always had the same questions

                                          [Chorus 1]
                                          You've been chasing spirits
                                          And staying up all night
                                          You said if you don't rein it in
                                          You're shaving ten years off your life

                                          [Verse 2]
                                          I tried to come to you, but you didn't like the way I asked
                                          But there's nothing in L.A. for mе
                                          Just a lonely singer at the bеach
                                          I could start a garden with the landlord
                                          Something good and simple
                                          And worth staying in town for
                                          I was pulling cards while you jumped the cattle guard
                                          They say lovin's hard

                                          [Chorus 2]
                                          You've been chasing spirits
                                          And I'm still chasing them lights
                                          Now, who is a bigger mystic?
                                          And who's winning a bar fight?
