Wonderful Idea!

Hi Vortex!

What a wonderful idea! And great picks!

I have a bunch of favorites that uplift me, but here's one that I have just added to my list by a group I never knew about until recently! I would like to send a special to Ian (Bagpuss) for turning me on to this band's delightful music!

Enjoy, my Lovies!

With Much Love and Gratitude,

The Fantasticks

Yes, great idea

Here's several that recently moved me from the musical "Fantasticks" (the longest running stage production in history).

Watch 'The Fantasticks': Full Length Online | Streaming Full Length Movie | Video Clips | Fancast

Especially at the last few minutes of the movie (..which is worth watching): the "money" song of the show: "Try to Remember".

Which, interestingly enough, was missing what was imo it's best verse in the radio hit version of the song:

"In the cold of December, it's good to remember
Without a hurt, the heart is hollow"

i hope this post finally puts that song out of my mind now, lol

both, Pamela and jibbguy.
I enjoyed both of your songs.

The song Kevin had posted made me feel good.
I thought, yes this needs to be shared .. Topic Time .
I hope others have some songs they can share.

Not to dampen the fire, but Music is much like a Meme, IMO, but set to a great tune.
One needs to be aware and observant.
.. See Memes aka Curses!

here is a link for just the song jibbguy posted.

What a great thread! Thanks for starting it Randy!

I like mostly alternative but also some rap. My current new favorite makes me laugh everytime I hear it It is called "I'm on a Boat" by T-Pain.

I saw a short of it on SNL last weekend and I had to immediately find it on YouTube to add to my Facebook page. I won't post it here because it has a few words that may be offensive to some. However, if that sort of thing does not bother you, look it up on YouTube. It is hilarious and I laugh more each time I hear it

I know we can make it work

life's illusions

Joni Mitchell - Both Sides Now (Live, 1970)

Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
Its cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all

Moons and junes and ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way

But now its just another show
You leave em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away

Ive looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
Its loves illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say I love you right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way

But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well somethings lost, but somethings gained
In living every day

I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
Its life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all
Ive looked at life from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
Its life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all
