Music! What are you listening to now?

[Angliru]

One of my favorites is Vanessa Williams' and a jazz trio doing "What Child is This". Very well done. I believe it's on youtube.

I'm not a fan of her vocal style, but instrumentally, it's cool.

Here's a couple more.

[Tank Engine]

The best modern song ever written, hands down.

I heard Jacques Brel for the first time about 15 years ago, when a friend played me a CD. I was particularly struck by the emotion in his delivery of "Ne quitte pas" and "Le Moribond". The second one especially because I remembered a very cheesy cover version entitled "Seasons in the Sun" from the 70s when I was knee high to a grasshopper - definitely not the Cat Stevens' version). The intensity had me completely gripped. It was surprising how many songs I actually knew without actually having heard the man himself. Just shows what an influence he was.

Edit: From the oracle of all wisdom, I guess the cheesy cover was Terry Jacks in 1974.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Yes, Terry Jacks is the one that rewrote the black humour of Le Moribonde into the sickliness of Seasons in the Sun, so he is to blame for all of the awful versions of that.

Beautiful, dark and sinister on its own. When watching the film, even more intense.

Like! Starts serene, beautiful, then soothing dark tranquility (is that an oximoron?)... reminds of medievil warriors preparing for their final battle.
