I haven’t heard There but for fortune since way back when, sung by my teenage crush, the song used to haunt me. I’ve just reminded myself of the lyrics and as you say the last verse is so relevant to today it could have been written this year.
Good to see Joan is still around.

Miles Davis, "Kind Of Blue" particularly "So What?"

I have been streaming a Clark and Jessen album called Guitars Rocks, some excellent instrumentals that have been my lomgtime favourites.

Country music for me - probably because it reminds me of my husband - he loved it.
Scottish traditional music as well.
And I like old fashioned carols at Christmas - very cheering in the dark winter days.
All very low brow, I know, but there it is.

We all like different things @Annb thank god, or there would be no art of any kind .

Anything particular ?

A short stay in Scotland with friend up to visit his family one new year, Dundee / galashiels/ Edinburgh showed the love of flower of Scotland,
And sang with gusto most nights ....great to hear .

 

[Annb]

Ye Jacobites by name...(Burns) early anti-war hopes.
Ae fond kiss (also Burns)
The Bonnie Lass o' Fyvie

I also forgot to mention anti-war songs in general but particularly "The Band Played Waltzing Matilda" and "Willie McBride" (not sure of the title, could be "Did they pipe the Flowers of the Forest".

Edit: Just checked - it's called "The Green Fields of France"

 

[jjraak]

Ae fond kiss .

And green fields of France

Which reminded me of fields of athenry

Sang with passion, if not as melodiously as other versions

..truly One World, One Love

Apologies, just noted no sound under forum since update.

Thanks for those videos. My favourite version of the Green Fields... is by the Pogues and is a much rougher sound. That song can still bring tears to my eyes. I have to say, my own version of Ae fond kiss is my favourite - I used to sing it for my husband in his sick bed. Eddi Reader makes a pretty good job of it though. I'd never taken note of the Fields of Athelny but there is a version by the Dubliners that is worth listening to. But then, there aren't many tracks by the Dubliners that I don't enjoy. Stuck in the past - that's me.

I was taliking to my Blue Care nurse yesterday, and the S&G Sounds of Silence was playing in the background. She said that she had heard the best cover of the song by a group called 'Disturbed".

I had to agree with her as I liked it staight way when the version was incorporated in an episode of the television show "Blacklist".

Distubed - Sounds of Silence

Sacrilege almost, but I think that is the better version personally.

It's about being an anxious overthinker

It does have the F word, but just the once I think

Today I was thinking of The Lord of The rings .

And playing a track from Clamavi De Profundis the Lament for Boromir.

Never heard of Clamavi De Profundis before. Neither am I familiar with Tolkein's work (just never wanted to read it, or watch video/film of it). The singers sound Irish as does that particular tune. Are they? I really enjoyed it. Thanks for putting that up.
