Fantastic Song
« on: January 18, 2009, 11:33:17 PM »
I just thought we might need a contrast to that guy on the piano with the cap.

"Call that a song? It's just noise!"

It's not just noise, it's pretentious twaddle as well.

Sounded more like an offering from Phil Chard and the Pilchards.  ..0

I didn't say it wasn't pretentious. I said it was a good song.

How many times did you listen to it?

Some parts are loud and it took ages to like those parts. I like the whole song now. But the chorus was always beautiful, right from the first listening.

It may take me a little longer.

Now, if you really want a contrast to that guy on the piano with the cap, here's a guy...on a piano...with a cap...

Unpretentiously beautiful song.

This is just the wombles in human form. There was one part where I thought they were going to sing "Grandad, we love you!".

There was another song by this guy that someone else posted. I liked that one. I can't remember either this guy's name or the name of the song.

It's Gilbert O'Sullivan, and the other song was this one...

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Qqc_MS8j3_I

I admit his lyrics may not have quite the same depth and...er..depth, as "I don't think you trust in my self-righteous suicide - I cry when angels deserve to die", but then what does?  ..0

What was wrong with The Wombles? (I've correctly capitalised the name.) Mike Batt was/is one of the genius songwriters of these times. More than that, he's the guy behind the stunningly beautiful Katie Melua, and he deserves my eternal admiration for that alone.
