Traditional Gregorian chant. But if I had to pick popular music, then either the Dead's "Attics of my Life" or Glenn Miller's "Moonlight Serenade." Better yet, both. ------------- |

The Jeweler, by Tom Rapp (Pearls Before Swine).... ♪♪♪ He knows the use of ashes ♪♪♪ Actually, I thought it would be hilarious if he had his own ashes pressed into an LP of that entire one. "The Use of Ashes," is the title. Sadly, he died almost a year ago and I don't think he did do that, but he did have a great sense of humour as well as, as he put it, "constructive melancholy." The goddfather of psych-folk, imho

Very cool....he was covered by some other artists as well, The Bevis Frond, Damon & Naomi, Ghost....I have a CD of songs by some of these and others that are all Tom Rapp songs, "For The Dead In Space," released in 1997. I remember the original, by Rapp with Pearls Before Swine. He wrote some incredibly great songs...not every one was, but quite a few. He famously wrote a song called "(Oh Dear) Miss Morse," n One Nation Underground that spelled out an expletive in Morse code that was banned from the radio for a time. But most of his songs were hauntingly beautiful and very psychedelic. Interesting that This Mortal Coil's title is "Filigree and Shadow," although it doesn't seem to be related, the band Fever Tree had a song of the same name. And, I just found out, also released a compilation of the same name in 2002, although the original was on their eponymous LP, released in 1968.

Sounds amazing, it would be my only chance for a record deal. My first thought was Arthur Brown’s “Fire” because I’d like to have a sense of humour even in death. “Fire, I'll take you to burn. Fire, I'd take you to [urn] Oh no, oh no, oh no, you're gonna burn!” That song would work better if I was being burnt onto a CD-R. Maybe I’d chose Ennio Morricone’s L’arena or Beethoven’s 7th, second movement, which may be me all-time favourite piece of music, and not just because it was used in Zardoz. Changed my mind -- Nick Drake's "River Man" to guide me down the Styx or as a song for Vinylhalla. ------------- Just a fanboy passin' through. |

 you really are such a sweetie.You know.. that has been a favorite song of mine for many years. In a musical sense, only within the last decade or so did that really hit me hard in a lyrical sense. Neil really was on point when he said that Stephen was not only the heart and soul of that group (as he was was CSN(and Y) was was also f**king brilliant. Generally I am not a lyrics kind of guy.. more certainly when it comes to prog where my distain for most of it is well known.... but you know. Just sometimes... the lyrics (which took me years due to the shear kickassery of the music itself to fully appreciate) just connect with you and speak to you and at you. that final verse in conjunction with the musical coda to me .. is just pure musical perfection and speaks to those who continue to exist but have been severely wounded by the harshness and impersonality of life itself. Still able to feel but with a hardness of heart that only the real survivors of the worse that life can throw at you can fully appreciate. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

Awwww, shucks. Not always. First husband said I had an acid tongue. I often wondered why he wanted to provoke that.  You know I'm a big fan of those Buffaloes. There was something about that particular set of people in the same room playing music together that just created magic. But I think you're right, the real sorcery was Stephen. He was just as fine a lyricist as Neil, had a great voice and Little Baby Fleasus, could he play the guitar. I am also a big fan of a great lyric and/or clever turns of phrase (note my signature), as well as delving deeply into purely sonic heights and depths. I even enjoy a fair amount of music with lyrics that I don't even understand, just for the feeling of it. I am a voracious reader and love words and word-play, never pass up a chance to make a really bad pun. And yes, he captures that sweet melancholy of all of the harms that can be done to the innocent in that final lyric....and then watches her go home and go home.  ------------- "Into every rain, a little life must fall." ~Tom Rapp |

^One of my favorites from the old days....unique sound and great songs. They tend to get lost in the shuffle when people talk about older bands. I was always disappointed that Ferguson left and formed Jo Jo Gunne...and California bounced in and out. They just didn't have that same intensity and spark that Spirit had...and Spirit was never the same after that. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

Yeah, Jo Jo Gunne was pretty lame compared to Spirit, even with Jay Ferguson's great voice. Spirit was the second act I ever saw live (second-billed at a Moody Blues concert at The Forum in LA). And Randy's step-dad Ed, was a great guy and a great drummer. So sad Randy drowned, I guess they never found his body. Great underacclaimed guitarist. ------------- "Into every rain, a little life must fall." ~Tom Rapp |
