Paysages de France Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 The video of the first song mentioned is very kitch - they must have sold a hell of a lot of camera filters in the 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchie Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 The song is meaningful to me, whatever you think, and I don't really care about the video .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 [quote user="Frenchie"]The song is meaningful to me,[/quote]Quite. And that's surely the point, whatever pleases you is fine by me (providing you play it in the privacy of your own home/car/whatever.) Is poo-pooing other people's musical preferences becoming a national sport or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patmobile Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I have always liked a song by the Kursaal Flyers - "Little Does She Know". It's very meaningful to me.Here is a sample from the lyrics:"Little does she know that I know that she knows that I know she’s two timing me. Little does she know that I know that she knows that I know she’s cheating on me."Great stuff!Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gluestick Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 [quote user="powerdesal"]Bridge over troubled waters. very meaningful.[/quote]Back in the good old days, when musicians were musicians and bands played instruments, great buddy of mine was a semi-pro folk musician and also worked for his agent.His boss told him to report to Heathrow and pick up a young guitarist, harp player and singer ("Harp" in this context does not mean one of those bloody great curved things you don't take to parties, it means harmonica.) and bring him to London to start his tour of the folk clubs.For the next few weeks, David my mate, ran this young lad around the clubs for his gigs; some of which David was also playing. As Dave put it, this young shy lad with a guitar in a case and a duffle bag over his shoulder and wearing a pair of Levis which he wore for three weeks arrived; played and astounded us all.Eventually, the agent told David to take this lad back to the airport.David said "Are you mad? He's a genius! Sign him! Now!"No, the agent wasn't impressed.So, David took Paul Simon back to Heathrow and waved goodbye................................ and then met Art Garfunkle.One bit of trivia; the song Homeward Bound, "Waiting on a railway station............" was written by Paul Simon whilst waiting for a train at either Harold Wood or Shenfield station, on the London Liverpool Street to Southend Victoria Line.

trumpet Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 That's wonderful GluestickJust a slight (I am nervous as I have already had my butt kicked on another topic today) Disagreement Gluestick I thought the song Homeward bound was written on Widness Station..
