So I'm pretty branched out on what type of music I listen to. My main is Reggae and Violin dramatic masterpieces. Though the two don't relate at all, lol.

this one is by the very famous clint mansell who i adore and love when his music just sets out on the stage, so dramatic. I heard this soundtrack on a famous series on youtube.

Peace,

Clint Mansell is great, and so are Darren Aronofsky's films. The soundtrack to Requiem For A Dream is phenomenal. :)

I knew she was having problems in recent years, but her death surprised me. She was only 48. Rest in Peace, Whitney.

I just read that this song is not what I had always interpreted.

You mean that's not a Randy Newman song?!

Reality's big ol' head, indeed!

Edit: OK I just checked...yes, Randy Newman wrote it.

It's about lying to people.

Telling the people of Africa all sorts of lies so they will get onto the ship and sail away to America, where they end up in Charleston Bay, and become slaves...

Charleston was the major point of entry for Africans brought to America in the eighteenth century. Approximately three out of four enslaved Africans came to America through this port city, which had a black majority by 1790. In 1808, the foreign slave trade was abolished, but American-born slaves continued to be bought and sold until the Civil War.

I always interpreted the lyrics metaphorically, as in, it sucks where you are, and it's better in America.

I'm sure that I've linked this before, but it just popped up on the carousel. Vince Gill and Allison Krause.

Yeah, I like this. Had no idea she was older than me. Most of my girlfriends, including my current, have been what might be called Carole King types. By the way, noticing your signature, I have a number of signed first edition Harry Crews books.

Yeah, that's really good stuff, imho. Their voices go together well. I'm a big fan of all of Alison Krause's music.

Nice. Never heard it before. Heavy but uplifting. Good music, imho. By the way, didn't you have a different PF username at one time?

Awesome stuff... he's an incredibly talented guy. His work with Les Claypool (another very talented guy) was pretty epic.

There are so many incredible songs and artists out there it is hard to pick, but these are 3 songs that will always strike a chord with me:

Thanks, I wasn't aware of his new album until I listened to this song!

His last one was good too,

I love how the new songs have more positive tunes :!)
