As I sit here waiting for word from my husband ( He is finally on his way home ! *happy dance* ) I am listening to music. This fellow I am listening to is Amos Lee. He is one of the new young guns from the South of the U.S. I find his music almost hymnal in nature.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVOcFme-ZUQ - Lyrical and poetic genius.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIez7lGxKps. They did a song called Love Kittens. What, you want more?!

Anything by Elliott Smith and lots of movie soundtracks. Recently saw Jane Eyre, the music to that was magical!

Strange, we seem to have more opinions about music and musicians than we do about writing and writers.
MaggieG | September 29, 2011 - 14:23
I am not surprised Harry Music has always influenced my writing. When I get an itch to tap something out, but have no specific thought to work on. I can turn on music and something always comes to me.
The two mediums have always had a direct connection to one another in my opinion.

Pretty Polly, Queen Adreena
Harry Buschman | September 29, 2011 - 16:22
Maggie, I think it's because they both occupy a time frame, whereas painting is seen all at once. Music, writing and film influence each other. (that finishes my thinking for the day.)

Wow! so you like Hawkwind Richard, great to know
there are other Hawkwind music lovers on here.
I used to be a Hawkwind Freak back in the 70s
followed them everywhere and had some amazing
experiences at their gigs, met some people, that
had a massive influence on my life.
Just felt the need to write this down, hope you
don't mind.

My favorite song:
E.T. (Extraterestrial) by Katy Perry, ft. Kanye West. If you like pop and rap, then you'll most likely like this =). Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. the music video is weird (at first, but the more you watch it, the more you like it), but the song is AWESOME!!!

I went to see Emmy The Great in Camden a couple of weeks ago. Her song 24 always makes me cry and this time she saw me doing it. Her song M.I.A is both tragic and an inspiration. I hope a few of you will have a listen on You Tube and share a little moment of musical joy.

Is there anyone out there who remembers Scott Joplin played at the proper speed, (slowly) and Boogie Woogie?
The Big Bad G | September 30, 2011 - 11:28
Andrea - Superb. I'll keep an eye out for them from now on.
Savannah - I'm not a massive pop fan (last pop act I liked was Alisha's Attic!) but I found a lady called Janelle Monae recently, and she's cracking.
Geoffrey - I don't know a lot of Scott Joplin, but I do have a soft spot for Sidney Bechet, amongst others.

Death Star Canteen takes the pling out of Lego and puts it right back into Starwars. It was hilarious.loved it Footsie...
Charlie Bit me- well he did put his finger in Charlie's mouth didn't he?
I think this may be very inspiring for my next poem about kids and wet trays that can kill! It will be very very profound.

Here it is Ftse-
The Dance Ballad
a glimt of sunlight in a puddle
a slight brush of the wind on your cheek
the rushes humming
a song about your life being meek
a silvered whistle in the treetops
a faint play-tag sound from a cat
the murmur of the brook
a whisper in the hedgerow
tells us it no longer is night
the meadow is wet with dew
the Maiden Dawn leaves to rest
the days rises playfully anew
and walks across the bridge of the sun at it's best
and us two,
what about us two? You and me?
I'm dancing and dancing
and I only sense you
why did you run away?
Come back, come back
come back my love.
wherever you wish, we shall dance
Come lets us dance
anything can happen
come let us dance
let us laugh
a few verses are repeated
Phew- it lost a bit in translation- I'm not very good at it- it's really beautiful in danish.

Thank you for the translation, Pia. I quite like listening to it in Danish without knowing exactly what it means. A lovely song.
I liked the cover of 'If you leave me now' too - sometimes the cover versions can be better than the original.
Here's Linda Ronstadt doing the vocals on an old Eagles song.

Highhat | October 3, 2011 - 06:26
I agree Ftse- the cover versions are often better than the original. This one with Linda was lovely- she was so young and she is very beautiful- and she sure can sing! I think it was from 1974- that is a long time ago!!!
http://www.d-a-d.dk/video/24/bad_craziness
This band sort of grew on me - originally they called themselves Disneyland after Dark but Disney set a stopper for that so now they are just D.A.D- hard rock- their lyrics are hard hitting but I like them
FTSE100 | October 3, 2011 - 06:39
It won't let me listen! It says content not available in your country. I've just found one of their songs on YouTube. Makes we want to dust off my old git-tar, turn up the volume and wake the neighbours!
Highhat | October 3, 2011 - 07:07
Their guitar playing sure wakes up the neighbours and I'm sure yours would too. Here are 2 covers with a lovely lady- Cæcilie Nordby-
