    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
                            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?

                                      "MAN OF THE PEOPLE is about the person who stands behind the disgraced politician, the religious leader that’s been caught in a sex scandal. The wife, the girlfriend, the husband, the partner, whoever is the family, the children—the people that stand behind these figures that are disgraceful. The collateral damage. I pity these people sometimes." - SW

                                      Lyrics:
                                      Trust, you know how to take it
                                      Love, you know how to fake it

                                      And I will be there beside you
                                      The camera eye, the drug is just to be near you

                                      Hey, well I can take rejection
                                      Hey, what does it take to get your attention?
                                      Cos you’re a man of the people
                                      A man of the people
                                      And I’m just part of the plan

                                      I lie here like a dog
                                      And think of all I would undo
                                      Anyone would go
                                      But I got nowhere to go to

                                      And what is left of us?
                                      Now there’s only the cinders
                                      Ambition froze me out
                                      Like a demonic winter

                                      Hey, well I can take rejection
                                      Hey, what does it take to get your attention?

                                        Rumor has it that this guy is the next music director of the Chicago Symphony.

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