For me, you can't beat a nice big symphony. Listen to the magical opening of Bruckner's 4th.

I used to have the 45 of "in the year 2525." On the flip side was a tune called "Apeman"

Hmm...I may be getting carried away.  Guess I have to go listen to some music - it is one of the best drugs ever invented.

Yeah. But I didn''t like the horn's timbre. Maybe it's my "Bang & Olufsen" laptop speakers, not made for serious music.

Here's my favorite when driving through long mountain autobahn tunnels:

JimD, you've added half of my favourites already! 

Here are a few more, though... and yes, I've got a thing about harps!

And a few less famous people making beautiful music; after all, music is a universal, and it's not about fame:

Classic KING-FM radio in Seattle, often plays Bruckner on their 3rd High Definition Digital Symphonic radio station. Yesterday, they played Bruckner's 7th Symphony. Three or four times I've dialed into the channel to hear Bruckner's 8th Symphony. Somebody at KING loves the 8th.

There they go again! Yesterday, accidentally tuned into King-FM classical HD 3 radio to hear Bruckner's 8th Symphony & they played the Bruckner 6th Symphony on their main channel later in the afternoon.
In addition on the King-FM HD 3 channel, multiple times, I'm hearing the Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, "Fairy Tales". Just lucky I guess.

Somewhere else I said I'm an advocate of violent comunication... Sometimes you can exert the greatest violence by presenting sheer beauty, and make the ears of them hominids flap. I'm not thinking of the following gem:

Me, I am late 50s-early 70s Oldies.

When did I become a "Governor"?  Sheesh, some folks might start to believe me...  Given this is my post #2525, we must remember the lyrics of the song "In the year 2525"
"If man is still alive
If women can survive"

A quote from the YouTube blog:  "man has taken everything this earth can give and not put back enough in. [see minute ~2:22] says it all. we loved this song back then but it has so much more meaning now."
 

[kassy]

Will we even make it?

[Eli81]

Sadly, it is going to be far before the year 9595 before we've taken everything this old Earth can give, at the rate we're going.

~10,000 years of industrial civilization is setting the bar pretty low, geologically speaking - and we're going to be lucky to make it to 1,000(the year ~2,850).

[Archimid]

I think this is the best interpretation of one of the best classics, Hallelujah!. The fact that it is acapella makes it sublime.

 


One of my favorite "procreation practice" songs. I think it borders on the obscene, in the best way possible.



And something that I just recently experienced and completely blew my mind, Hamilton, the musical. Attached an animated version which gives the music a dimension similar to what is seen in the play. The music is good and clever, but the historic and story telling aspect puts it over the top.

Margaret Whiting - A Tree In The Meadow (1948)

Rod Stewart - The killing of Georgie (1976)

[Tor Bejnar]

Nanning,
When I click on your Margaret Whiting song link, I got a "Video not available" response, so I copied her name and the song title and did an internet search, opened the Youtube link and listened. 
Thanks, too, for the Rod Stewart song.  I don't recall ever hearing either.

[prokaryotes]

If you think the song above ended way too early and abruptly, you 1) are totally right and 2) can google for the 10 hours version.

Thanks for the info Tor, they should both work correctly now.

NDW FTW! \o/

(for the non-Germans: NDW=Neue Deutsche Welle 'new German wave', is a remarkable epoche in German music history.)

Edit: Rather German-speaking than German. I remember you Falko!

[be cause]

 I was the first person I knew to be a Lene Lovich fan .. even had to buy new copies of albums .. overplayed .. b.c.

[nanning]

b_lumenkraft, do you mean Falco?
I love their "Der Kommissar" (1982)
Another song from that period I love is Peter Schilling with "Major Tom (Völlig Losgelöst)" (1983)

[b_lumenkraft]

Right, with 'c'. Thanks for the correction.

[kassy]

ASIF NDW: 

[Tor Bejnar]

That was cheery, kassy! 

[b_lumenkraft]

Translates to:

I want to be an ice bear.
In the cold of the polar.

I wouldn't had to scream.
Everything would be clear.

Ice bears don't have to cry.

[b_lumenkraft]

And since we are at songs with deep lyrics:

Believe it or not but this one was a hit for weeks and weeks in Germany. Wikipedia has it, this one started the NDW.

[Tor Bejnar]

Thanks, B_,
I got the "ice bear" part all by myself! (the pictures helped)

[b_lumenkraft]

Gnihihihi. 

You are getting there, Tor.

[oren]

I remember Falco too. Rock me Amadeus!

I can't see the song you picked.

Perhaps my favourite bird, the eurasian oystercatcher (scholekster, strânljip).
I hear and see these birds almost every morning on the lawn in front of our 3 storey apartment block (I've also seen deer and two coloured bats early in the morning). I've just heared these birds on our roof making the same sounds as this recording:

I'd like to add that this "tree in the meadow" melody is very nice to whistle.

[kassy]

I often drive through the city at dawn or even before that. It is a great time for bird activity. It gets quieter when the humans wake up.



Well, the year it's 1991
It seems that freedom is dead and gone
The power of the rich is held by few
They keep the young paralyzed
Educated by your lies
Keep the old ones happy with the news
Tell the singer not to song a song
Tell the poet that she's wrong
In the courts you'll win the case with lies
'Cause you sold them down the river-o

If some of the old ones come across as grumpy it might be such stuff. Much is the same old same old.

ETA: great dancing song back then.
