Moderators Bravus Posted March 22, 2006 Moderators Share Posted March 22, 2006 Very obscure, but I think it might be Jethro Tull's 'Seal Driver'. Maybe I'll quote the lyrics here to give you some idea, but you have to hear his voice, which fits it perfectly, and the music to really 'get' what's going on with it. It just evokes a mood and a mental image so nicely: Take you away for my magic ship. I have two hundred deisel horses thundering loud. Sea birds call your name and the mountain's on fire as the summer lightening cuts the sky like a hot wire. And you ride on the swell and your heart is alive, think I'll make you my seal driver. I'm no great looker, I'm no fast shakes. I'll give you a steady push on a six knot simmering high tide. I can hold us down - keep our head to the wind, or let us roll on the broadside, cold spray flying in, and we'll ride on the swell and our hearts are alive. Let me make you my seal driver. I could captain you if you'd crew for me follow white flecked spindrift - float on a moonkissed sea. Could you fancy me as a pirate bold, or a longship Viking warrior with the old gods on his side? Well I'm an inshore man and I'm nobody's hero, but I'll make you tight for a windy night and a dark ride. Let me take you in hand and bring you alive. Going to make you my seal driver. I realised as I was about to go to bed that I had the mp3 version of this song on my computer, so here it is. I own the CD, but you don't, so you should listen to it online, or else download, listen and then delete to be fair to the band and record company.

I've always liked "Landslide" by Stevie Nicks (Fleetwood Mac) Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

Nicodema Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Oh wow ... so many to pick from. A perennial favorite of mine is Great Hosannah by Kula Shaker. [:"blue"]If we stand here together And we see the world as one We may think there's no future But it's the same for everyone It's like the world has lost its head And it's like all the prophets said But will we arise ... ... to a new world? If we stand here together We can laugh at what we've done All our time has been wasted And there's nowhere left to run There may be trouble up ahead Will we be sleeping in our beds Or will we arise ... ... to a new world? Look for signs and portents I'm looking for a reason To believe Will we arise in our time At the dawn of another meaning? Will we awake at the break of a great hosannah? Well there's nothing left to do, Just hold your breath and hope it's true: That we'll arise ... Oh! To a new world! Look for signs and portents Oh there's got to be a reason To believe ... That we'll arise in our time At the dawn of another meaning, And we'll awake at the break of a great hosannah! Well there's nothing left to do, Just hold your breath and hope it's true: That we'll arise ... ... To a new world ....[/] Quote "After such knowledge, what forgiveness?" -- T.S.

aldona Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Olger, I perceive that you are a fan of The Seekers! <img src="/ubbtreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif" alt="" /> And not even an Australian citizen! <img src="/ubbtreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> Welcome to the forum. I love anything by the Seekers. A few years ago one of the churches around here held a karaoke night to raise money for ADRA. One of my friends decided to come along dressed as a sheep. I tried hard to convince her to get up with me and sing "I'll Never Find Another (Ewe)," but she just wasn't game enough. <img src="/ubbtreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> aldona Quote www.asrc.org.au (Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, Melbourne)Helping over 2000 refugees & asylum seekers each monthIMSLP/Petrucci Music LibraryThe Public Domain Music Score Library - Free Sheet Music DownloadsLooking for classical sheet music?

olger Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Hi Aldona. Judith Durham has arguably the purest female vocal voice in the world (in my opinion). There are two others that might compare, but they are both dead (Karen Carpenter & Eva Cassidy). Good on ya, gcw Quote "Please don't feed the drama queens.."

Jerry D Thomas Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 It's probably a result of growing up in the 70s, but one of my favorite songs in recent years is "Smooth" by Santana with Rob Thomas. My wife particularly liked the lyrics that say, "I could change my life to better suit your mood . . " She thinks that's something I should be willing to do . .

Halfstep Denise Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 My absolute favorite secular song is "You Raise Me Up". But in a way it is also a religious song. Josh Groban calls it "Irish Gospel". I've heard "Celtic Women" sing this song and also Reggie and Lady Love Smith sing it on the newest Gaither Homecoming video, but my favorite version is done by Josh Groban. Remember the old "Name That Tune" television show? When this song is played, I can recognize it within the first two notes especially if the violin is used at the beginning. I've also seen Michelle Kwan figure skate to this song! WOW! Halfstep Denise Quote "If you're all God has, is God in trouble? -- Dr. Frederick K.C.

Administrators Naomi Posted March 23, 2006 Administrators Share Posted March 23, 2006 I fell in love with it in the 70ties and it seems to be a good summation of my life, "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" <img src="/ubbtreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> OTOH, I tell my children to be sure that at my funeral they have someone sang "She Did It Her Way." ... as a statement of me and my life's choices. <img src="/ubbtreads/images/graemlins/oops.gif" alt="" /> God is always our bridge over troubled waters.
