Love this, love the message....Great lyrics, great song.....Freedom for everyone, and Freedom now.

One of my favourite Dylan Songs of all time, sung by in my opinion one the most beautiful, lovely voices of all time. Takes me away. Nanci Griffith giving some homage to Mr Robert Zimmermans "Boots of Spanish Leather".

I might have posted this before. It might well deserve to be posted again. I'll let you be the judge of that.

Love this Woman, great songstress. Great song.

Oh my mama told me

'Cause she say she learned the hard way

She say she wanna spare the children

She say don't give or sell your soul away

'Cause all that you have is your soul




Amen.

This thread has a proud tradition of Musical excellence, somewhat besmirched by the recent addition of Barry Manilow...For which I hold mineself entirely to blame. *Heheheh*

So, let us continue then. Unto broad, sunlit uplands.

Play it again, Sam. Thing is, I think some folk might have missed it. Do yer ears a favour, strap the headphones on, and rejoice. Yer lugs will thank thee. I cannot emphasise this enough.



Looking out from underneath,
Fractured moonlight on the sea
Reflections still look the same to me,
As before I went under.

And it's peaceful in the deep,
Cathedral where you cannot breathe,
No need to pray, no need to speak
Now I am under.

And it's breaking over me,
A thousand miles onto the sea bed,
Found the place to rest my head.

Never let me go, never let me go.
Never let me go, never let me go.

And the arms of the ocean are carrying me,
And all this devotion was rushing out of me,
And the crashes are heaven, for a sinner like me,
The arms of the ocean deliver me.

Though the pressure's hard to take,
It's the only way I can escape,
It seems a heavy choice to make,
Now I am under.

And it's breaking over me,
A thousand miles down to the sea bed,
Found the place to rest my head.

Never let me go, never let me go.
Never let me go, never let me go.
And the arms of the ocean are carrying me,
And all this devotion was rushing out of me,
And the crashes are heaven, for a sinner like me,
The arms of the ocean deliver me.

And it's over,
And I'm going under,
But I'm not giving up!
I'm just giving in.

Oh, slipping underneath.
Oh, so cold, but so sweet.

In the arms of the ocean, so sweet and so cold,
And all this devotion I never knew at all,
And the crashes are Heaven, for a sinner released,
And the arms of the ocean,
Deliver me.

Never let me go, never let me go.
Never let me go, never let me go.

Deliver me.

Never let me go, never let me go.
Never let me go, never let me go.

Deliver me.


Dynamite.

Behind Blue Eyes (with an Irish twist), plus some more Nanci Griffith - I like her too!

I heard this song on the radio this morning, and for some reason liked it more this time than when I'd heard it before. I decided to do a search for it and found this video of it. It's the acoustic version, but it's pretty similar to the studio version Anna Nalick is the singer - not too hard on the eyes, either:

Happy birthday, Mr. Waters

Early Verve before big US radio hits. Always liked them.

Yay! Posted a few of their tunes in this thread Kontakt, great band. I like the earlier stuff the most too, 'A Storm in Heaven' was their best album by far IMO. Great live too, saw them at Newcastle Riverside (a very small, intimate venue) before they went massive and it was a great gig. Also when they supported the Smashing Pumpkins at Newcastle Mayfair before it closed down. Happy days.

This is 'Gravity Grave' from the 'Verve' EP. I still have this on limited edition 12" pink vinyl hehe. A track called 'A Man called Sun' is very good, too.



Get Back, get back again and again
I've been here since I can remember when
My life is a boat, being blown by you
With nothing ahead, just the deepest blue...

To me you're like a setting sun
You rise then you're gone
To me you're like a setting sun
You rise then you're gone

Come back, come back again and again,
I've been here since I can remember when
The world just spins whilst mine stands still
Nothing's changed in your gravity grave

To me you're like a setting sun
You rise then you're gone
To me you're like a setting sun
You shine then you're gone

To me you're like a setting sun
You shine then you're gone
To me you're like a setting sun
You shine then you're gone
Go down on your light
So bright it burns my eyes
Sounds like a perfect way
To end my life
To me you're like a setting sun...
To me you're like a setting sun...

Nice Ken! I posted her song awhile back, but reallllly like the acoustic version.
