I used to know the difference between a xylophone and a glockenspiel.
But now I can't marimba...

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 videoLyrics
[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 -

The last song from the album,[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?
