I'm feeling myself to be in a sad music mood today, so here's two:

Vincent by Don Mclean, set to paintings by Vincent Van Gogh

Possibly the saddest song song ever, Bonny Portmore, a Celtic classic about the destruction of Irish forests and ancient trees leveled for military use.

Lyrics to Bonny Portmore:

quote:
Oh Bonny Portmore, you shine where you stand
And the more I think on you the more I think long
If I had you now as I had once before
All the Lords in Old England would not purchase Portmore.

Oh Bonny Portmore I am sorry to see
Such a woeful destruction of your ornament tree
For it stood on your shore for many's the long day
Till the long boats of Antrim came to float it away.

All the birds in the forest they bitterly weep
Saying, "Where will we shelter or where will we sleep?"
For the oak and the ash they are all cutten down
And the walls of Bonny Portmore are all down to the ground.

Oh Bonny Portmore, you shine where you stand
And the more I think on you the more I think long
If I had you now as I had once before
All the Lords in Old England would not purchase Portmore.



James

I think I might be a little in love with Jerry O'Connell now.

One more reason to love Jerry O'Connell! I wish I could find a video of the cookie commercial he did when he was a chubby 10-year old, even before Stand By Me.

One of these days, it's going to not suck so much that Firefly got cancelled. At least I keep saying that.

Instead, you hide it in meteorologically-determined locations. You're getting killed on inflation, little friend!

I can't play it right now, but I've heard a few songs, and I liked those.


and... Crowded House used to mess around like that. I remember one bit for a song called Massive (which was good pervy fun) where Paul Hester ended up drumming on guitars and they all ended up getting down on their knees while still playing their instruments and then getting back up again.

Great vid Emerald. I'd seen his "The impotence of proofreading" before, but not that one. Very nice indeed. Big Grin

Obama tears into Bush's State of the Union, current state of politics in US

Some of those things have needed to be said for a long time... and I've been waiting to hear some of them for as long as I can remember being interested in politics.
