Virtual Jukebox

Sunflower

Today I've been relaxing by playing music I listened to in the past (my youth!)

Here's one such song (Supertramp: Logical Song) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ukKQw578Lm8

Do reply with a song you liked listening to... we can turn this thread into a virtual jukebox! 

Parents

  • I have liked an Acappella trio called Artisan (from God's Own County Yorkshire, not far from Holmfirth where Last of the Summer Wine was filmed) since their earliest days.  When I was chairman of my children's school Parents' Association I invited them to perform their Christmas Show.  Now disbanded although they have occasionally reformed, they have left a legacy of some very fine albums, such as Searching for Yorladale and Rocking at the end of Time.

    I wanted to put track called Sir Hubert Vayne on the Jukebox but it does not appear to be on You Tube (from the album Rocking at the End of Time), so I will put two other tracks for the Jukebox.

    The first is''A Posy made of dreams".  I do not think the tune is one of their best, but the lyrics are absolutely biting!

    And the second sounds and feels like my mind often does:

    Oh yes, I thoroughly enjoyed those, thankyou for the introduction! The first is as acid as any agit-prop punk, and with such clever metaphors; "making omelettes with lives" particularly made me grin. And I love the way that, in the second one, the musical form expressed the ideas of the lyrics, with the little pause before the word "delay", and the singing in rounds echoing the confusion of a dozen thoughts all going on at once when procrastinating. I shall definitely keep an eye out for some of their other work.
