Wanna post a song that makes you happy and puts you in a good mood?

[idgiehkt]

Please do so here. Post a video link if you can. I am full up on piss and vinegar for today. Let's get happy. :)

Here is a Christine Kane song called "The Way Clouds Do", it always relaxes me and makes me feel peaceful.

Christine Kane - The Way Clouds Do
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvdUhvxS_bw

The Way Clouds Do
(Christine Kane)

A woman read a romance
And I could smell her fragrance
All the way to Baltimore
Every guy with a cell phone
Kept on trying to call home
Except nobody's home anymore

In a torn seat with a big stain
Where somebody lost their loose change
And somebody shoved their bubble gum
I stared out the window
Watched the cars watched the world go by
I am everyone

And all around me
The traffic flew
The cars were rushing
The way cars do

Well you know, we got a lot to do before we're done
God bless the world and all the ones for whom the night is long
And all these drivers and their dreams
They look like me

Back in Fairfax, Virginia
Me and the girls we grew up
In homes they built on battlefields
Ponytails and panic
We were bad, bored and bulimic
We longed for something real

And right behind me
An aisle or two
The girls were laughing
The way girls do

Well you know, we got a lot to do before we're done
God bless the world and all the ones for whom the night is long
And all these children and their needs
They look like me

And high above me
The sky is blue
The clouds are changing
The way clouds do

Well you know, we got a lot to do before we're done
God bless the world and all the ones for whom the night is long
And all these drivers and their dreams
And all these children and their needs
And all the earth and all the trees
All in all it looks like me

3. blame Rev Acts, but

I will never again be able to watch Devo without thinking about Le Tigre's Deceptacon
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EU1CDSP7FRk

I love watching this, lol

:rofl:

[darkstar]

9. Thanks friend. That puts a smile on my face.

I bought the first nat'l release Devo album the day it was released. Heard it in the store and took it home. Yes I did. Played it--pure and easy--for every man, woman, and mutant I knew.

:hi:

[RevolutionaryActs]

2. Give Up The Funk.

[idgiehkt]

8. holy cow

speak of the devil, lol, I was just talking about you

:rofl:

Vulcan mind meld...and there is a Vulcan in this thread, too. At least swag goes undercover as one sometimes.

:rofl:

I am a recent funk convert since a whole bunch of it was posted in my dance thread the other day. There are some real treasures on youtube.

And the lounge damn definitely needs the funk tonight (the good kind, that is).

:rofl:

[RevolutionaryActs]

13. Bwhahah! Priceless.

:rofl:


Le Tigre just puts me in a good mood, I like TKO too. :P

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0prlNZHRrs

[darkstar]

15. Fake the funk and your nose will grow !!!

Don't be faking, 'k?????

:hi:

[RevolutionaryActs]

17. I won't be faking

you can't fake the funk!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7laLBFMhvk


:P

[idgiehkt]

21. I have to post this here, Rufus Thomas' "Breakdown"

I think it was Baldy Man that posted this in the dance music thread, this is one of my favorite things I've seen in a long time

"Ain't I'm Clean?"

the people in this audience make it as much as the performers do
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nT-oc8aHxWQ

you can't not be happy watching these people in the audience let loose

:bounce:

Break down chilluns!

[RevolutionaryActs]

24. I love it!

:D

[zonkers]

119. Yeah baby.

[idgiehkt]

125. isn't it great?

that pink suit and white boots should be in the smithsonian :)

[unsavedtrash]

66. I got to see them a few years ago

damn what a show. We danced our asses off.

[idgiehkt]

71. I bet.

I can imagine that would be a great show. Watching all those videos people posted in the dance music thread, it just seems like they had such a great time at all those shows.

Here is another one someone posted in that thread that is awesome

Trouble Funk - Good to Go
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOM6RHS_nrk

[Mojambo]

4. I find this one so fun and uplifting

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KirTaMHAUG0

That's a great album, btw.

[idgiehkt]

10. I'm so jealous!

I wanna jump on that trampoline!!

:bounce: :bounce:

this vaguely reminds me of the "Up With People" for some reason, lol.

:hi:

[darkstar]

19. Fun, fun, fun !!!!

This is a current act I guess? Got a weird 60's innocence vibe used as a touchstone it seems. Cool. The time is ripe for a new happy bubble gum 5th dimension up with people freedom spirit music, I say !!!

Thanks!

:hi:

[Mojambo]

22. Tilly and the Wall - Bottoms of Barrels

The Rainbows in the Dark video is cute too.

It's got that same positive goodness feel.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4if9vNgwZ4o

[idgiehkt]

40. wow

cool. This has a really nice sound too. :hi:

[Control-Z]

100. I like it! n/t

[Mojambo]

102. Interesting side note about that band.

On most of their songs (including the ones I posted here) they don't have a drummer.

The percussion is performed by a tap dancer.

Kinda cool.

[idgiehkt]

126. that is so cool, I thought it sounded like a tap dancer

A friend of mine used to be in a band called Cucanandy that had a percussive dancer and it sounded like that to me when I watched the video. Pretty neat. :)

here is a link:
http://www.drumwithyourfeet.com/Cucanandy.htm

My friend is the beautiful brunette in the second pic from the left, she sings lead. I think she has moved on to other projects though, she has sung celtic music in several different bands and also plays rhythm and bass guitar

[Ptah]

5. Hot Rod Lincoln

Hot Rod Lincoln



( Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen )

My pappy said, "Son, you're gonna' drive me to drinkin'
If you don't stop drivin' that Hot Rod Lincoln"

Have you heard this story of the Hot Rod Race
When Fords and Lincolns was settin' the pace?
That story is true, I'm here to say
I was drivin' that Model A

It's got a Lincoln motor and it's really souped up
That Model A Vitimix makes it look like a pup
It's got eight cylinders, uses them all
It's got overdrive, just won't stall

With a four-barrel carb and a dual exhaust
And four-eleven gears you can really get lost
It's got safety tubes, but I ain't scared
The brakes are good, tires fair

Pulled out of San Pedro late one night
The moon and the stars was shinin' bright
We was drivin' up Grapevine Hill
Passing cars like they was standing still

All of a sudden in a wink of an eye
A Cadillac sedan passed us by
I said, "Boys, that's a mark for me!"
By then the tail light was all you could see

Now the fellas was ribbin' me for bein' behind
So I thought I'd make the Lincoln unwind
Took my foot off the gas and man alive
I shoved it on down into overdrive

Wound it up to a hundred and ten
My speedometer said that I hit top end
My foot was glued like lead to the floor
That's all there is and there ain't no more

Now, the boys all thought I'd lost my sense
And telephone poles looked like a picket fence
They said, "Slow down! I see spots!"
The lines on the road just look like dots

Took a corner; sideswiped a truck
Crossed my fingers just for luck
My fenders was clickin' the guardrail posts
The guy beside me was white as a ghost

Smoke was comin' from out of the back
When I started to gain on that Cadillac.
Knew I could catch him, I thought I could pass
Don't you know by then we'd be low on gas?

We had flames comin' from out of the side
Feel the tension, Man! What a ride!
I said, "Look out, boys, I've got a license to fly!"
And that Caddy pulled over and let us by

Now all of a sudden she started to knockin'
And down in the dips she started to rockin'
I looked in my mirror; a red light was blinkin'
The cops was after my Hot Rod Lincoln!

They arrested me and they put me in jail
And called my pappy to throw my bail
And he said, "Son, you're gonna' drive me to drinkin'
If you don't stop drivin' that Hot ... Rod ... Lincoln!"

[idgiehkt]

18. oh, I love the guitar in this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0FWoJ3kRuA

thanks for posting it, yum. :hi:

A couple other car songs

455 Rocket - Kathy Mattea
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ll3ueYLkJiY
I love this song and her throaty voice just makes it perfect.

Woohoo!!! I found it, one of my favorite car songs,

One Piece at a Time by Johnny Cash! Yes!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9HrvsOlqsU

:woohoo:

[Ptah]

Thanks for introducing me to Charlie Ryan,

you are my newest bestest friend!

[idgiehkt]

30. I'm so glad that people

out there are willing to load this stuff on youtube instead of it being lost to history. I am a youtube junkie, lol. No problem. Has a great sound, doesn't it? :hi:

[Spider Jerusalem]

39. Sort of on a similar theme:

Junior Brown - "Highway Patrol"

[idgiehkt]

41. nice!

thanks...love that guitar. This has a great honky tonk sound to it. :hi:

[Spider Jerusalem]

48. Yeah, he's a kickass guitarist...

here's another (instrumental): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPpAbhLKRnU

[idgiehkt]

51. anything with "rag" in the title is bound to kick ass

:bounce:

wow that was amazing! thanks for turning me onto him! :hi:

I can't believe I've gone 38 years and never heard him that I know of. wow.

[Spider Jerusalem]

63. Yeah, he's one of the most underrated guitarists I can think of.

He's got a sort of cult following, but he's not what you could call a big name. (Of course, the fact that he does country/rockabilly probably has something to do with that, too.)

[idgiehkt]

65. maybe youtube will garner him some new fans

I hope so, I think it helps when people cross post stuff everywhere and introduce new musicians to each other, through things like that. He really is amazing.

[Spider Jerusalem]

52. And another car song...

Junior Brown again (with the Beach Boys) - "409"

[idgiehkt]

68. Yep, I've heard this

Those Beach Boys harmonies are something...

yep "giddy-up, giddy-up 409"

This is a great old tune. Thanks! :)

[RetroLounge]

133. Here's my favorite Junior Brown song

"My Wife Thinks Your Dead"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFGeKu6guGk&mode=related&search=

RL

[idgiehkt]

144. roflmao!!

:rofl:

"You're wanted by the po-lice and my wife thinks you're dead."

Awesome, thanks. :hi:

[darkstar]

20. Great pick. I wonder if it exists on youtube....

I always liked the way the pedal steel mimicked the goings on in the song, i.e. the screeching, the picket fence, the down shiffting, etc.

Thanks. I'm smiling now....

:hi:

edit: oops, duh....posted in wrong slot...and learned, upon review, that indeed there is a youtube version.....

[darkstar]

6. Nice...

"the way cars do..."

I'm in the same place recently. I want music that makes me smile. Even if it's corny.

This, by a ban from the late 60s I've only just discovered, is cool enough, but this youtuber's interpretation really makes me smile.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKDqMX7Hl_A

Thanks fer the thread. I'll be checkin' back in. :hi:

[idgiehkt]

23. wow, I was gonna say what a sixties sound,

with the orchestra sound in the back ground. God, I'm getting into a scarborough fair kind of mood :)

:hi:

thanks for posting that!

[darkstar]

33. Hmmm

This same band, Free Design, has a whacky kind of happy/dissonant version of Scarborough Fair.

Did you know that or was it a chance thing?

Either way, another youtube interp video of one of Free Design's songs: Kites Are Fun.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PPX-6swHLo

What, is there a whole new gen of kids that are digging this obscuro 60s folk-psych-ez rock sound?

[idgiehkt]

37. no I had no idea, actually.

strange coincidence...I am thinking there might be, maybe a backlash to emo or something?

:shrug: nice song there too :)

[jonnyblitz]

7. ...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5Z1grreweI&mode=related&search=

[idgiehkt]

25. It that Rob Zombie doing the music?

I know that was his movie, right?

I used to have the worst crush on his bassist, Sean Yseult (sp?). She's from NC.

[jonnyblitz]

29. yup.

"pussy liquor" by rob zombie. i am not a huge fan but i like the song combined with the video images. karen black is in it for chrissake!! :crazy:

[idgiehkt]

34. that lady is a trip. She's in a movie called "Red Dirt" too

which deals with two men coming out in the deep south, kind of like a precursor to Brokeback Mountain but with no sex, only kissing. It's a pretty good movie,though flawed. She just about nails that accent too, which is hard to do, in the movie she's a tad deranged. It's worth a watch.

[jonnyblitz]

42. I saw that movie , believe it or not.

it was available on a gay torrent site out of germany so i downloaded it. :P

[idgiehkt]

45. I liked it

The accent she did was so similar to my mother's family in coastal NC, it made me really homesick. I didn't like the ending though, I thought it was a little unbelievable, but all in all it was a decent movie.

[jonnyblitz]

49. I remember liking it at the time but forget details about it

like i always do with books and movies. I saw it awhile back.

[wildhorses]

11. i need to do this---cos i am so down today, just sorta melancholy

thesmoker will not leave me alone. i blocked his e-mails and he has respected the not calling me but, now he has found a way to contact me via ebay:banghead:

the song that is running through my mind right now (besides the one i just started a thread about)

is this one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Zz_4N6p3f8


sorry, didn't mean to be a downer to your thread, just wanted to connect somehow:shrug::hi:

[idgiehkt]

26. that is one of the most haunting songs I have ever heard.

wow. I love it, it does give me chills though. :hi: :hug:

[SPKrazy]

32. Okay

i don't know who the smoker is

that freaks me out

I don't want you to think I'm stalking you here so I won't post to you more tonight

but I do love that song

:shrug:

sorry you're having a bad day

:pals:

[wildhorses]

43. silly--i don't think you have been stalking me--i just think that

you and have a lot the same friends in the lounge and we end up in a lot the same threads because of it...sorta like a meandering conversation...

thesmoker is the guy i was dating...he started out nice but, when the company he was working for filed for bankruptcy last october...he has gone through some changes and i kinda got kicked to the wayside...and i caught him in some lies...no big deal, really:hug:

[SPKrazy]

46. Oh...

I remember you talking about a guy that lied about jewelry?

:hug:

edit

and you are my friend too!

[wildhorses]

50. yes, that is him--

he lied about smoking and that is how he has come to be known. i started a thread about smoking...would it be a dealbreaker. this was back in august i think. it got a lot of response.

[SPKrazy]

53. I Don't Remember That

but I didn't hang out in the lounge back then


I guess people lie about a lot of things

but smoking is like, so easy to figure out.

I can smell it a mile away.

:pals:

[wildhorses]

55. well, that is how i found out that when someone says they are

trying to quit in their profile it is an euphemism for smokes like a freight train:rofl:

he didn't smoke around me the first several dates...it was actually pretty respectful about it.

trying to be fair:)

[SPKrazy]

57. It Just Gets In Everything

and it reeks

I know that if I go to a bar or somewhere that there is smoke, I can smell it the next day in my hair if I don't shower.

I never used to be as sensitive to smelling it. But it seems like it is stronger.

Consequently I stay out of bars for the most part or places where there is smoke as it gives me maddening headaches.

:shrug:

;)

[wildhorses]

59. yeah i don't hang out in bars either --well...except maybe..er,,,

i do hang out quite a bit at this place called the lounge...perhaps you have heard of it? :rofl:

[SPKrazy]

61. My Section I Hang In Is Smoke Free!

and the cool thing is that anyone can hang here and smoke or no smoke, it's all good

except when it's bad (like when people are squabbling about the things in life that don't mean much really)

but even then, it's good in another thread

:shrug:

[InternalDialogue]

12. idgiehkt, I really like Christine Kane -- good choice!

Here's my mood lifter, reaffirms my faith in the human spirit:

Girlyman
"Young James Dean"

http://youtube.com/watch?v=0907FSsUUKs

In the back of a camouflage truck
They locked me in once with the materiel
I was full of a rage no one could handle
I was a private in the army
All the real girls with their backs turned called me crazy
Called me crazy

I worked for a while at a diner
Manager said I had to wear that little uniform
Said I was part of the problem
But I was in love with that blonde girl
She kissed me twice behind the counter
But when I asked her to get into my car
She called her man, said 'don't bother her'
She called her man, said 'don't bother her'

I guess I'll feel less than real all my life
With these feathers I made
Under me lifting me up
But I was a young James Dean
With a way with ladies
All the real boys in their black jeans called me crazy
Called me crazy
Called me crazy
Called me crazy

[idgiehkt]

27. wow, another Christine fan, cool

I don't meet many outside of Asheville. I hope someone will put some more of her stuff on youtube soon, She is a great singer.

That is a great song, I love seeing bands in small venues and festivals, I'd much rather see them this way than the arena thing.

[InternalDialogue]

31. I learned about her when she came out to Colorado to do a festival.

She played a great solo set, and then I bumped into her walking along the grass behind the stage. I stopped and thanked her for the set, told her she was one of the reasons I got out to the festival. She seemed genuinely glad to talk to a fan, and I got a real sense that she's a good person.

That, and great songwriting -- what's not to like?

[idgiehkt]

44. yep, we are from the same town

And I've seen her tons of times live and also around town all the time when I used to live there. She is very down to earth but she does have a large presence to me, more than the average person. She has one of the most 'positive' auras I've ever seen as far as her music goes.

[Danger Mouse]

14. Rilo Kiley - Pictures of Success (and) Rancid - Time Bomb

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bl00lbTGFQ

How someone couldn't love this song is beyond me.
The lyrics are a little melencholy though.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLxgjsVQgiU
Great live video of a fucking fantastic song.

[idgiehkt]

28. she has a huge following here, that is for sure

I need to listen to more of her stuff, I am getting stuck in old music because there is so much I love, but I need to be open to the new stuff too.

wow that has a nice relaxing tempo...what a soft beautiful voice too. Thanks for posting it. :hi:

[Danger Mouse]

36. Glad you like it...check out the album version, too...

it's a bit slower, if that's your inclination.
Also, "A Better Son or Daughter" by Rilo Kiley is fantastic. The lyrics are perfect for when you're feeling down.

[fizzgig]

80. rancid never fails to bring a smile to my face

i finally got to see them over the summer and it was a great show.

my favorite rancid song ever
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pD3kpgMXaWA

[idgiehkt]

99. I like hard up-tempo music

like this, it can really pick my mood up if it's not too dark. Hell, sometimes it will even if it is dark. This is nice (hot guys too, I can't believe tht guy has a spider web tattooed on his elbow, there is no way that did not seriously H-U-R-T) :hi:

[SPKrazy]

16. Yeah! I Got My Dick In A Box!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dmVU08zVpA


it's that time :rofl:

[idgiehkt]

35. you silly.

just keep it in there, okay?

:rofl:

Just kidding. :hi:

[ornotna]

38. If this song doesn't put a smile on your face

Then there is something wrong with your face.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUMEiHcdcDc

[idgiehkt]

47. Beautiful

you are right, it but a smile on my face immediately. Iris Dement has a beautiful voice too. Gorgeous, thanks! :hi:

[Fountain79]

54. La Gota Fria....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4Rk8uKBC0w

[idgiehkt]

58. yeah baby!!!

Love it. I'm shimmying my shoulders to this one :bounce: I love Latin music, always a great mood lifter :)

It doesn't hurt that he's so damn beautiful he hurts my eyes. That Mayan flute (?) is amazing.

Here is one I like by Juanes "La Camisa Negra", just really groovy, dude. ;)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haiazzsY9gQ

[Fountain79]

132. I know that one....

I like some songs from his last album a little more.

[unsavedtrash]

56. Mr. Blue Sky

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2Ncxw1xfck
Electric Light Orchestra
Mr. Blue Sky
Sun is shinin' in the sky,
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin'
Everybody's in a play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day.

Runnin' down the avenue,(Pant, Pant, Pant)
See how the sun shines brightly
In the city on the streets
Where once was pity,
Mr. Blue Sky is living here today.

Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why,
You had to hide away
For so long where did we go wrong.

Hey there Mr. Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do,
Everybody smiles at you.

Hey you with the pretty face,
Welcome to the human race
A celebration Mr. Blue Sky's
Up there waitin' and today
Is the day we've waited for

Mr. Blue you did it right,
But soon comes Mr. Night,
Creepin' over, now his
Hand is on your shoulder,
Never mind I'll remember you this way.

[idgiehkt]

62. I love ELO!

I wore out that soundtrack to Xanadu

Here is "Hold On Tight", it almost has a rockabilly sound. You can't not feel happy listening to this as upbeat as it is :hi:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TLmpL2AzLs

[Control-Z]

92. Great song!

I just posted it - right before I noticed you had already. I love ELO. They are the best.

[NoGOPZone]

106. Great selection

ELO were an underrated band.

[idgiehkt]

127. yes they were

amen to that. I don't know if it was because they were so stylized or what but they have such a unique sound and Jeff Lynn has the most beautiful voice.

I love "Don't Walk Away" by them from Xanadu, here is the link
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRxLX2ol0yE

It's so evocative

[MissMillie]

120. ELO is great

and this song has a great cadence for jogging.

[idgiehkt]

129. their music is pretty spunky, generally speaking

they do seem to be overlooked, though for whatever reason. :hi:

[MsKandice01]

60. Tell Me Something Good

Chaka Khan

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1o_p8tBCZs4

[idgiehkt]

64. This is a great song!

And it has the funkiest beat to it. Man, I haven't heard this in ages and ages. "Tell me something good" indeed. :)

I think she is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen, I've always had a crush on her, it's just something about her. :hi:

this kicks ass!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[MsKandice01]

69. Yeah, she's gorgeous, isn't she?

She has one of the most beautiful smiles I've ever seen!

[idgiehkt]

74. yes, and that romantic way she dresses

with all the draped fabric and stuff, kind of reminds me of Stevie Nicks a little. :)

[darkstar]

67. That's what I'm talking about

The Slow Burn !

Love the way down tempo funk. So kick ass. I'm smiling now, yes indeed. Thank-you!!

:hi:

[MsKandice01]

70. You're welcome!

I can't listen to this song and sit still.

[wildhorses]

72. here's one---

73. Merci, Madam

88. thanks idgie for starting this thread

[idgiehkt]

91. that is who it is for

[MsKandice01]

76. I'm dyin over here!

83. delete

posted in wrong place--oops

[wildhorses]

84. youtube is the shit!!

:rofl::hi:

[MsKandice01]

87. Yeah, Youtube kicks ass...

It's a huge cause of sleep deprivation for me though. I've spent many nights up until the wee hours of the morning watching miscellaneous YouTube videos.

[khashka]

81. Most of mine tend to be dark

and depressing.

But....


Kate Bush: Jig of Life

It's about not committing suicide. No link and I'm too tired to look up the lyrics. But a few random ones.

"Where on your palm is my little line when you're written on mine as an old memory?"
"Catch this kiss as it makes the land and you will dance in sunlit pools."

Quite beautiful and it's about how current despair can turn into future joy.


Khash.

[darkstar]

85. Yeah...that's in the ice skating/near death mini-opera

on hounds of love, right? "Little light, shining...."

I adore that record from start to finish. Lovely, lovely, lovely.

[wildhorses]

89. here khash--

:hug: i have truly missed you, my friend:hug:


Hello, old lady.
I know your face well.
I know it well.

She says,
Ooh-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na!
Ill be sitting in your mirror.
Now is the place where the crossroads meet.
Will you look into the future?

Never, never say goodbye
To my part of your life.
No, no, no, no, no!
Oh, oh, oh,

Let me live!
She said.
Cmon and let me live, girl!
She said,
Cmon and let me live, girl!
(cmon and let me live!)

This moment in time,
(she said.)
It doesnt belong to you,
(she said,)
It belongs to me,

And to your little boy and to your little girl,
And the one hand clapping:
Where on your palm is my little line,
When youre written in mine
As an old memory?
Ooh, na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-

Never, never say goodbye
To my part of your life.
Oh no, no, no, no, no!
Never, never, never!
Never, never let me go!

She said,
Cmon and let me live, girl!
(cmon and let me live!)
She said,
Cmon and let me live, girl!
(cmon and let me live!)

I put this
Moment..............................................here.
I put this moment.........................here.
I put this moment--

Over here!
Over here!
Cant you see where memories are kept bright?
Tripping on the water like a laughing girl.
Time in her eyes is spawning past life,
One with the ocean and the woman unfurled,
Holding all the love that waits for you here.
Catch us now for I am your future.
A kiss on the wind and well make the land.
Come over here to where when lingers,
Waiting in this empty world,
Waiting for then, when the lifespray cools.
For now does ride in on the curl of the wave,
And you will dance with me in the sunlit pools.
We are of the going water and the gone.
We are of water in the holy land of water
And all thats to come runs in
With the thrust on the strand.

128. Thank you, sweetheart!

Missed you too!

This has been pretty rough and it keeps bringing up memories of every loss I've suffered. So I haven't posted a lot. But I'll be back - just as annoying as ever :) I promise.


Khash.

Maybe not so happy but maddening?

[darkstar]

93. adorable

I used to have an old vinyl album growing up of hers, I thought she was adorable. I love that song "It's my Party" :hi:

[ceile]

78. Chaiya

From "Dil Se", I think

[idgiehkt]

94. yes!

I have this link saved and just love it, I get really emotional when I watch it for some reason, it's very spiritual, thanks for posting it :hi:

[LeftyMom]

82. I can't really post the lyrics.

But Closer makes me... happy.

[idgiehkt]

95. I looked at youtube and it seems there are

several songs by that name. Is it Nine Inch Nails?

[LeftyMom]

96. Mhmmmm

Definitely NSFW.

[sakabatou]

86. Well it doesn't have any lyrics but...

I like "Tank!"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEgpX7vL8j4

[idgiehkt]

97. um, wow

that is some amazing sax playing. What an energetic set... I can't imagine what it would feel like to actually be there. I love the solo at the end. Great stuff! :bounce:

[Control-Z]

90. This one always makes me feel better.

98. wow

someone else posted that upthread, it must be a pick-me-up for a lot of people. I am a fan of theirs but I wasn't familiar with this. :hi:

[Control-Z]

101. I couldn't sleep

So I'm adding this one for anyone who happens to be up still. I don't know why I like it so much - I just do!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0R7dvLAiP8

[idgiehkt]

103. that is a great song

Amazing video too, I always love watching it :)

edit: it's amazing to me how timeless that is. I guess because anime is so hot right now it seems totally current. ARRGGHH I'm hooked, I've watched it like five more times....I can't stop. I never watched it for the storyline before, I was always distracted by the art; it is a really cute video.

[Ann Arbor Dem]

104. here is one.

[idgiehkt]

107. very beautiful

how can you not be in a good mood after listening to that. I feel like I just had a massage or something. :hi:

[Strawman]

105. Danger! High Voltage!

http://youtube.com/watch?v=HD5tnb2RBYg

[idgiehkt]

109. Wow! I haven't heard that in ages

I had forgotten all about...makes me wonder what else I've forgotten about. Thanks for posting it! :hi:

I have to do this since your song brought AC/DC to mind...not all songs that can put you in a good mood are 'happy songs'...these two always do it for me.

Back in Black AC/DC

A couple more:

great live version

G'n'R - Mr. Brownstone (fanvid with studio version)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=bUOQIjQoiA4
(I got tired of searching through live performances and this song is so clean I wanted to hear the studio version, I love it, despite the subject matter, lol)

[lizziegrace]

108. Me & Elvis

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PeF3wHmNrU

[idgiehkt]

113. that is really nice

I'm sure I heard this at some point but it seems new to me, thanks for posting it. :hi:

[lizziegrace]

117. Two of the band members

went to college with me. All of us in the music department. Hard to believe it was so long ago. :(

[idgiehkt]

122. I know that feeling

I was watching "King of the Hill" one day and John Redcorn was talking about being so young and happy and then he turns to Hank and goes "and you wake up one day and you're forty. Forty." I'm stuck in that feeling of complete shock at how much time has passed. :(

[philosophie_en_rose]

110. Okay.

111. Sister Sledge "We Are Family"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2QN03JTxu8

Sister Sledge
We Are Family

(CHORUS:)
We are family
I got all my sisters with me
We are family
Get up ev'rybody and sing

Ev'ryone can see we're together
As we walk on by
(FLY!) and we fly just like birds of a feather
I won't tell no lie
(ALL!) all of the people around us they say
Can they be that close
Just let me state for the record
We're giving love in a family dose

(CHORUS x2)

Living life is fun and we've just begun
To get our share of the world's delights
(HIGH!) high hopes we have for the future
And our goal's in sight
(WE!) no we don't get depressed
Here's what we call our golden rule
Have faith in you and the things you do
You won't go wrong
This is our family Jewel

(REPEAT CHORUS TO FADE)

[idgiehkt]

115. that's an amazing song

It always reminds me of the summer of 93 and all the pride marches and events of that year, including Washington, D.C., I guess because that was when ACT UP was raising so much hell and everything was so vital because of the AIDS crisis, I think the gay community was the most united then.

[libnnc]

118. I was at that march. It was a wonderful experience.

Seems like eons ago.

[idgiehkt]

121. me too

It seems like half of us about got heat stroke when ACT Up did a die in in front of the white house and held up the march. There was no water and people were getting panicky because it was so hot. That march is one of my most treasured memories. I rode a bus for 8 hours to get there, marched, got back on the bus and rode 8 hours home. A lot of people did that. It was a joyous time.

[NetCompetition1]

112. I don't feel like dancing

By the Scissor Sisters. Ironically always makes me want to dance :)

[idgiehkt]

116. yep, someone posted that in the dance music thread

It reminds me an awful lot of the BeeGees in the way it sounds, which I guess is intentional. :hi:

[meegbear]

123. R.E.M. Stand ...

As one critic said, when that song is on, it's the greatest song in the world.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLuD6EcCJFI

[idgiehkt]

124. you are right

they were really talented at being uplifing at the same time they were dealing with heavy complicated topics...I don't know many acts that can do that as rock bands, usually only folk acts can accomplish that. Another one that I like is "Fall on Me"; it makes me feel like the spirit that lives inside me is free of this material plane for just a few minutes, interesting since again they are dealing with a really deep topic (I think it might be acid rain but of course Stipes says they don't mean anything so maybe I'm wrong :shrug: )

really old live version:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=uDPJY2mxTO0

a-hole viacom is yanking everything off youtube this week, this is the first one I've found that there was only one loaded on here, probably because the video to this sucks so bad. They also took the MTV unplugged version too. Crap, I wonder if they got all the Nirvana unplugged stuff? Off to check...nope, some of it is still there.

[NC_Nurse]

134. Thank you!

That was great! :D

[S n o w b a l l]

131. oh, I remember this!

wow, that brings back memories

I loves me some kermit!

Don't ask me why, but listening to that brought this song to mind:

The Dream Academy - Life in a Northern Town
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSmYvuvaJDg

[Tikki]

135. The baby (grandma I not baby, I four) and I watch...

and dance and sing to this video nearly every day.
And this does make me happy.

139. we used to roller skate to this song, lol

137. i like Finley!

[idgiehkt]

140. nice

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3O1v2b1dQUk

[idgiehkt]

141. I love that Blackalicious song...wow

what a beautiful smooth sound, nice jazz flow in the background too. It's gorgeous, how old is it? This is what mainstream hip-hop should sound like; this is how it started.

Wow, that Dead Milkmen video is such a blast from the past. Thanks for posting those. :hi:

[ghostsofgiants]

142. The Blackalicious song came out in 2002, on their "Blazing Arrow" album.

[idgiehkt]

143. thanks

that one is groovy. I love it.

Speaking of hip-hop, here is one from back in the more innocent days that I just love

Heavy D and the Boys - Now That We've Found Love
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-HQ70kn3Mw
good old fashioned hip hop, plus the dance back then was so much more energetic than it is now, this song is just one big, long line and it cracks me up to listen to it every time. :)

I also love the dance in this, I love the guys in the white suits
Foxy Brown - I'll Be
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTTmNZT6WHA
