Nice addition to a classic, Juni!

I’ll try and type fast so it doesn’t sign my out again…

This is one of my favourites. I really enjoy the lyrics, and the music behind them.



This one is another favourite (god, they’re all favourites ) It has simple lyrics, but the background music is fun.

OS. Very Christmassy that second one. I think they teach it at nursery school, judging from the toddlers I've met

:laugh: I thought A Kind of Magic was more "Christmassy," but no, you're right.

Hehe.

In light of the ongoing saga on another thread.... I give you Phish!




Colonel Forbin's Ascent


Colonel Forbin stared up at the mountain

And wiped away the beads of sweat

That glistened on his brow

His tired feet were buried in the quagmire

And his bloodshot eyes saw all that lay between him

And fulfillment of his vow


And he felt his fingers wrap around a knotted root

And pulled his body upwards

To a sea green mossy boulder

And he dragged his weary carcass [or "****-ass"] up the mountain


And he climbed so slowly

He climbed so slowly

Ahead

Ahead


Suddenly he heard the crack of thunder

And the rocks began to crumble overhead

And tumble down the mountain to the

Dismal swamp that lay beneath the jagged cliffs

through which his path had led

And the earth began to quake beneath his feet

And the mighty mountain changed before his eyes

And he stood amidst a sea of dust and rocks and stones

Cascading down the mountain

And a thousand birds were headed for the sky. Oh...


The sacred creed will be yours

And if you wait until tomorrow

The sacred creed will be yours

To devour

Yours

To seize

And to obey

Obey


When the dust had cleared, the colonel lifted up his head

And was driven to his knees by a blazing beam of light

And he saw the silhouette that stood before him

And he bowed in reverence

Trembling in the shadow of the mighty legend's form

Icculus the prophet stood before his eyes

Looking down on Colonel Forbin

Where he shuddered in the puddles and the muck

And he quietly addressed him


And he spoke so slowly

He spoke so slowly

Ahead

He said


Colonel Forbin I know why you've come here

And I'll help you with your quest to gain the knowledge that you lack

I call upon my faithful friend the mockingbird

To fly and seize the helping book and bring it to your shack

And a tree of knowledge in your soul will grow

And the Helping Friendly Book will plant the seed

But I warn you that all knowledge seeming innocent and pure

Becomes a deadly weapon in the hands of avarice

And greed


The sacred greed will be yours

And if you wait until tomorrow

The sacred creed will be yours

To devour

Yours

To seize

And to obey

And to obey




And the famous mockingbird swooped down out of the sky and landed on

Icculus's shoulder, and Icculus whispered into the bird's ear, and it flew

off toward Wilson's castle in the valley below.


Fly Famous Mockingbird


Fly famous mockingbird

Fly famous mockingbird

@Lasher, my pretty roommate Rachel would hump your leg for that one. :laugh: She loves Phish. She cried for days when they broke up.

I heard this song on an internet radio station for the first time just minutes ago. I had to dig for the lyrics, but I found them worth it. This song exactly fits with my thoughts of a certain someone today.

Mele Kalikimaka
(The Hawaiian Christmas Song)
Words and Music by R. Alex Anderson
c 1949 and 1959 by Bibo Music Publishers

Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say
On a bright Hawaiian Christmas Day.
That's the island greeting that we send to you
From the land where palm trees sway.
Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright,
The sun to shine my day and all the stars at night.
Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way
To say, "Merry Christmas to you."

Here's a favorite holiday tune of mine from the greatest Christmas album ever! Merry Christmas to all!

Every Year, Every Christmas
-Luther Vandross, This Is Chrsitmas

I don't know how love could do this to me
I've waited and waited for someone I never see
But I'm so sentimental, and I'm so hopeful you'll be there
So, here I am every year, every Christmas

I've wished for you in my heart and in my head
And I got my answer that first moment that we met
And, oh yes, I believed you as you told me, as you said
You'd be here every year, every Christmas

There must be a lesson for me to learn
If you don't trust in love, you'll get nothing in return
Why should I be lonely, don't tell me it's right
I have my pride, but I'd rather be with you tonight

So much emotion, it's driving me mad
But I'll take my chances with these feelings that I have
And I'll come back to this same corner where we met
And I'll be here every year, every Christmas

Mere words can't explain the pain and the fear
'Cause oh, I wonder, yes, I wonder are you gonna leave me standing here
Today's almost over, but I don't want to leave
Has my heart made a fool out of me?

My friends gather round me with holiday cheer
They say to forget you, to let you go 'cause you're not here
Well, I can't keep explaining what they'll never understand
And why I'm here every year, every Christmas
I return every year, every Christmas
I come here every year, every Christmas







R.I.P. Luther
This album has defined Chrsitmas for me over the years, and for that I owe you a wealth of thanks. I miss you bud.

Nice song Athena.

Naughty Mag.

Here's more lyrics. ( I love this song)

Farmhouse by Phish!

Welcome this is a farmhouse.
We have cluster flies alas,
and this time of year is bad.
We are so very sorry
there is little we can do but swat them.

She didn't beg on enough,
she didn't stay when things got tough.
I told a lie and she got mad,
she wasn't there when things got bad.

I never ever saw the northern lights,
I never really heard of cluster flies,
I never ever saw the stars so bright.
In the farmhouse things will be alright.
I never ever saw the northern lights,
I never really heard of cluster flies,
I never ever saw the stars so bright.
In the farmhouse things will be alright.
alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.

Woke this morning to the stinging lash
every man rise from the ash
each betrayal begins with trust
every man returns to dust.

I never ever saw the northern lights,
I never really heard of cluster flies,
I never ever saw the stars so bright.
In the farmhouse things will be alright.
I never ever saw the northern lights,
I never really heard of cluster flies,
I never ever saw the stars so bright.
In the farmhouse things will be alright.

I never ever saw the northern lights,
I never really heard of cluster flies,
I never ever saw the stars so bright.
In the farmhouse things will be alright.
I never ever saw the northern lights,
I never really heard of cluster flies,
I never ever saw the stars so bright.
In the farmhouse things will be alright.
alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.

welcome this is a farmhouse.
welcome this is a farmhouse.

We got our son some music this Christmas, to go along with an iPod, which he has been very happily listening to since last night. The child apparently knows how to get into his mother's good graces, he said this song reminds him of me

She's A Rebel

She's a rebel
She's a saint
She's salt of the earth
And she's dangerous

She's a rebel
Vigilante
Missing link on the brink
Of destruction

From Chicago to Toronto
She's the one that they
Call old whatsername

She's the symbol
of resistance
and she's holding on my
heart like a hand grenade

Is she dreaming
what I'm thinking
Is she the mother of all bombs
gonna detonate

Is she trouble
like I'm trouble
make it a double
twist of fate
or a melody that

She sings the revolution
the dawning of our lives
she brings this liberation
that I just can't define
nothing comes to mind
[x2]

She's a rebel
She's a saint
She's salt of the earth
And she's dangerous

She's a rebel
Vigilante
Missing link on the brink
Of destruction

She's a rebel
She's a saint
She's salt of the earth
And she's dangerous

She's a rebel
Vigilante
Missing link on the brink
Of destruction

She's a rebel, She's a rebel, She's a rebel, And she's dangerous

Green Day

"Sweet Leaf" by Black Sabbath

ALRIGHT NOW!
Won't you listen?

When I first met you, didn't realize
I can't forget you, for your surprise
you introduced me, to my mind
And left me wanting, you and your kind

I love you, Oh you know it

My life was empty, forever on a down
Until you took me, showed me around
My life is free now, my life is clear
I love you sweet leaf, though you can't hear

Come on now, try it out

Straight people don't know, what you're about
They put you down and shut you out
you gave to me a new belief
and soon the world will love you sweet leaf

Thank you for posting that, Mag.

Welcome cutie.

This song, I heard again for the first time in years. I liked it then, it has so much more meaning to me now though. Good stuff either way. :laugh:

"Vow" by Garbage

I can't use what I can't abuse
And I can't stop when it comes to you

You burned me out but I'm back at your door
Like Joan of Arc coming back for more

I nearly died
I nearly died
I nearly died

I came to cut you up
I came to knock you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
I cam to shut you up
I came to drag you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
And break your soul apart

You burn and burn to get under my skin
You've gone too far now I won't give in
You crucified me but I'm back in your bed
Like Jesus Christ coming from the dead

I nearly died
I nearly died
I nearly died

I came to knock you up
I came to cut you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
I came to rip you up
I came to shut you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
And break your soul apart

I nearly died
I nearly died
I nearly died

I came to cut you up
I came to knock you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
I came to shut you up
I came to suck you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
Tear your little world apart
Tear your little world apart
And break your soul apart

I can't stop when it comes to you
I can't stop when it comes to you
When it comes to you
When it comes to you.

Ooh that seems quite nasty, Magrus.

This is for New Year when it comes

A Man's a Man, For a' That

Is there, for honest poverty
That hings his head, an' a' that?
The coward slave, we pass him by
We dare be poor for a' that!
For a' that, an' a' that,
Our toils obscure , an' a' that;
The rank is but the the guinea stamp;
The Man's the gowd for a' that!

2. What tho' on hamely fare we dine,
Wear hodden grey, an' a' that;
Gie fools their silks, and knaves their wine,
A Man's a Man for a' that!
For a' that an' a' that,
Their tinsel show and a' that;
The honest man, though ne'er sae poor,
Is king o' men for a' that!

3. Ye see yon birkie ca'd a lord,
Wha struts, and stares, an' a' that;
Tho' hundreds worship at his word,
He's but a coof for a' that:
For a' that an' a' that,
His riband, star, and a' that;
The Man of independent mind,
He looks an' laughs at a' that!

4. A prince can mak a belted knight,
A marquis, duke, an' a' that;
But an honest Man's aboon his might,
Guid faith he maunna fa' that!
For a' that an' a' that,
Their dignities an' a' that,
The pith o' sense, an' pride o' worth,
Are higher ranks than a' that.

5. Then let us pray that come it may —
As come it will for a' that —
That sense and worth, o'er a' the earth,
May bear the gree, and a' that;
For a' that, an' a' that,
It's comin' yet for a' that
That Man to Man the warld o'er,
Shall brothers be for a' that!

Bob Marley : Three Little Birds

Don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright
Singing don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright

Rise up this morning, smiled with the rising sun
Three little birds pitch by my doorstep
Singing sweet songs of melodies pure and true
Saying, this is my message to you:

Singing don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright
Singing don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright

Rise up this morning, smiled with the rising sun
Three little birds pitch by my doorstep
Singing sweet songs of melodies pure and true
Saying, this is my message to you:

Singing don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright
Singing don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright
Singing don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright
Singing don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright

I won't be here at Hogmanay, so I have to do this early. Wishing you all prosperity and health in the new year.

AULD LANG SYNE

Words adapated from a traditional song
by Rabbie Burns (1759-96)

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?

CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup of kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!

And surely ye'll hae your pint-stowp,
And surely I'll hae mine,
And we'll tak a cup o kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!

We twa hae run about the braes,
And pou'd the gowans fine,
But we've wander'd monie a weary fit,
Sin auld lang syne.

We twa hae paidl'd in the burn
Frae morning sun till dine,
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin auld lang syne.

And there's a hand my trusty freen',
And gie's a hand o thine,
And we'll tak a right guid-willie waught,
For auld lang syne
