gone Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Sorry. My link messed up. The more I tried to fix it, the worse I made it. I had linked to a Debussy piece called Clair de Lune on youtube. Klingsor and LaLa 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gone Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 Thanks Beth! That's perfect. Steph plays this song too. it's a slow, deep song but surprisingly hard to master. It took her a while to nail it, but it's worth it in my humble opinion. It's a beautiful piece. Thanks again. IrmaJean 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaLa Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Recommend this videoclip as well as the lyrics (it's a Belgian band, BTW): The First try So much for some good advice We drop out on the first try We flee before we even fight "It's just a phase" is just a phrase used back in my old days to tell me to sit back and wait But we will get to roll again We will do what it takes All that needs a long debate I don't need to know Here's to another try To move on to a different start Ready for the rise Ready for the second part Hardly playing safe We're drifting on a higher wave To another try If a challenge comes to mind I will give a sign So much for a bit of truth The proof that might offend you Conclusions we'll be reaching soon It's easier to say than do To stop you than to guide you ‘Cause who knows what we're heading to But we will get to roll again We will do what it takes All that needs a long debate I don't need to know Here's to another try To move on to a different start Ready for the rise Ready for the second part Hardly playing safe We're drifting on a higher wave To another try If a challenge comes to mind I will give a sign We will get to roll again All that's hardly worth the wait says it's time to go For another try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaLa Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 I owe a lot to you, my dear, you are a friend You care enough to listen and to understand There are so many means to many different ends I leave it up to you A post-it note displays what I did not forget A long apology but I am not upset A wake up call goes off but I'm not sleeping yet And I cannot reset At times I wish I were dead Busy people dancing all over my head I keep an eye on every possible escape while moving at my pace Whatever's coming up, I can't afford a stop There's no excuse if I am late I'm in for a surprise but there are limits to my status as a fool Even giant words with exclamation marks can't tell me what I have to do I owe a lot to you, my dear, you changed the plot You tickle tear ducts with the innocence you've got Whatever is at stake you play and one mistake It cannot ruin your day At times I wish I were dead Busy people dancing all over my head I owe a lot to you, my dear, you are a friend You care enough to listen and to understand There are so many means to many different ends The older we all get, the more we feed our fears But sweetly haunting thoughts can form a new idea There was a time to try but now it is for real I owe a lot to you, my dear, you lift me up and they can say we're losing touch, I know we're not If the friendship ends you know I won't pretend you never were a friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaLa Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 I regretfully withdraw my offer to try to improve myself I sincerely believe the results would be a disaster I held the chisel against my cheekbone And I beheld the face of my true master You've gotta love the house you're in You've gotta love the house you're in Sat out on the balcony doing blow, playing chess by myself There is a pseudo-intellectual in me Oh, but luckily there's something else A frog with its tongue stuck to the inside of my chest A crow that keeps banging up against the glass A well-intentioned demon somewhere within Maybe the last one's not so bad, maybe the last one's the main attraction But you've gotta love the house you're in You've gotta love the house you're in 'cause someone keeps writing your name all over the walls Someone keeps writing your name all over the walls, ba-da-da-da I would like to be more for you than just a ghost lighting up in the courtyard Sometimes I am an actual man standing perfectly still in the dark Starless future, folklore past So leave the shade halfway open Leave the shade halfway drawn I am writing a line for the stars Happiness is waiting for you to fall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaLa Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 A perfect comedian, but with a lot of "dirty language", so... "beware"... But this song seems "relatively clean" to me, so I share - mainly for the main message of the song about "black-and-white-ness" ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaLa Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 Not a good quality video, but beautiful song and performance [it's originally from the musical Matilda (R. Dahl), sung here by its author]: I think some kids (or even adults) who have ever felt "different" as well as those suffering from sensory overload might particularly appreciate... Added later: Most of you would probably prefer this version : Quiet Have you ever wondered, well I haveAbout how when I say, say, red, for exampleThere's no way of knowing if redMeans the same thing in your headAs red means in my headWhen someone says red?And how if we are travellingAt almost the speed of lightAnd we're holding a lightThat light would still travel away from usAt the full speed of light?Which seems right in a wayBut I'm trying to say... I'm not sure...But I'm wondering inside my headI'm not just a bit different from some of my friends...These answers that come into my mind unbidden...These stories delivered to me fully written...And when everyone shouts - they seem to like shoutingThe noise in my head is incredibly loudAnd I just wish they'd stop, my dad and my mumAnd the telly and stories would stop just for onceI'm sorry - I'm not quite explaining it rightBut this noise becomes anger, and the anger is lightAnd its burning inside me would usually fadeBut it isn't today, and the heat and the shoutingAnd my heart is pounding, and my eyes are burningAnd suddenly everything, everything is...Quiet...Like silence, but not really silent...Just that still sort of quietLike the sound of a page being turned in a bookOr a pause in a walk in the woodsQuiet...Like silence, but not really silent...Just that nice kind of quietLike the sound when you lie upside down in your bedJust the sound of your heart in your head...And though the people around meTheir mouths are still movingThe words they are formingCannot reach me anymoreAnd it is quiet...And I am warm...Like I've sailedInto the eye of the storm...

LaLa Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) Sorry (to those who consider it spam ) for "spamming" so much here, but... it's been weeks that I just can't get enough of this song - I wonder if there's someone else who appreciates it so much: Also, if someone wants to listen to a sad story [*spoiler alert*: unhappy ending], here's a song about which people who posted comments under said it made them cry: Edited September 28, 2017 by LaLa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaLa Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 If you say nothing Offer nothing Then you get nothing in return This is the way I understand it This is the way I understand it This is the way I understand it works If you hear nothing Learn from nothing Then you give nothing when it's your turn This is the way I understand it This is the way I understand it This is the way I understand it works You believe in fate I guess I believe in consequences Flapping butterflies and photographs Driving 'round with KFC You won't alter global markets But your shake might make you run a red light It's not karmic destiny Just consequence devoid of meaning Meaning makes us miss the issue anyway Everyone will alter everyone Will alter Everyone will alter everyone Will alter everyone.
