Music: Enya and More. Add Your Favorites

[CH4]

My favorite Enya song is "How can I keep from singing."

I recently heard a cover of S&G's "Sound of Silence" by Disturbed, a group I'd never heard of and still not a fan of their genre; however, I really like this version.

Disturbed "The Sound Of Silence" 03/28/16 - YouTube

I liked that when Simon & Garfunkel sang it, and this version is imposing. Sounds a bit darker, but very impressive.

Thanks for posting.

[THE PILGRIM]

Here's a traditional song that's sung a number of ways.
I have been known to sing it, as good as these Navy Ladies!
Actually probably not!
They are really Great!

Silly Wizard fans???

They run the gamut from jigs and reels to ballads like this one:

The Fisherman's Lament

[ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iC1ZY8SC4ew[/ame]

I like this version. The splash cymbal sounds like waves crashing on the shore and there is a marine conditions report in the background which gives it a 'you are there' feeling.


How about the theme from 'Fargo'? A haunting piece based on a Scandinavian folk song, "The Lost Sheep'.

How about Russian Folk?

This is Pelagia, a beautiful lady with a big, beautiful voice. I picked this one because it's a happy little love song. So many Russian songs, especially Cossack, are pretty heavy on the death theme. I picked this one because it's a happy love song about a boy growing up noticing a 'girl down the street' that lives by a Cherry tree.

[ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4GhE9esCWo[/ame]


This one is simply called 'Horse'. It's about love of country and longing for life close to the earth.

You can tell from the people crying that this song means a lot to Russians. Kind of like our 'American the Beautiful'.

For more youtube Russian folk music pelagia

Her name is spelled different ways which makes it hard,

Get these guys. A Turkish choir sings 'Black Raven', one of those Russian songs about death.

I like folk and bluegrass. That is the music of the American people. I like playing my 10-string banjo.

When I was a Boy Scout, all the adult leaders were WW2 veterans that fought in the Pacific. They taught us this song. I think they were hoping that none of us boys would ever see what they saw.

This song reminds me of my father who had a ship sunk by a U-boat in the North Atlantic.

[ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7jBbCQwJ0g[/ame]

This isn't exactly American folk music, but it sure sounds good to me.

Some of the traditional Russian songs are truly beautiful, and beloved by the Russian people. When I studied Russian, one of the songs that my teacher taught us was Подмосковные вечера, which is usually translated as "Moscow Nights", or "Moscow Summer Nights". There are several versions on YouTube, this one sort of showcases some of the Moscow sights.

[ame]https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KairmsARpyo[/ame]

It has English subtitles, but you may have to turn them on in settings, if they don't open automatically. A very haunting melody that I learned many years ago, before I ever dreamed that I would be hearing and singing it in Moscow one day!!

Best Regards, Les

Speaking of Reuben James...

The Wayfarers did 'Rueben James' way back in the 60's. This is one of my favorites.

I met Ray Blouin when he lived in Charleston. Last I heard he was still playing and singing up in West Virginia or thereabouts. One thing I can say about Ray is the he could play the dog mess out of a banjo.

been a fan of Ray Wylie Hubbard since the 70s and he's still cranking.

[CATI1835]

Does anyone here like the late Bob Marley? I never gave his music a try until last night when I heard a French reporter ask Candice Swanepoel what her favorite song is. She replied, "No Woman, No Cry.''

So, I gave, "No Woman, No Cry" a try. I like it, and it may even grow on me. But I couldn't find a version that I liked enough for this thread. In most videos, his voice was too faint for the best listening. Maybe I'll find a better version.

I think Marley died about 1983 (?) but he still has a lot of fans. Are there any here? Which of his other songs should I give a try?

How could you not know about/like Bob Marley? He is an absolute legend in the music industry. He is the father of Reggae. He was taken too young and before anyone mentions, it was not drugs. Cancer took him.
Try these:
Is This love
One Love
Buffalo Soldiers

 

[CATI1835]

This song has been mentioned a couple of time in this thread, but it really is one of my favorites. Here is a version by world renowned cellist Tina Guo.

Well, I knew about Marley, but what I knew did not encourage me to listen to his music.

Considering that he was an activist opposing apartheid, it is a bit ironic that I only listened to him after a white South African said she liked, "No Woman, No Cry." Moreover, Candice is an Afrikaaner, the Dutch-origin ethnic group whom Marley most despised.

Life is strange, isn't it?

Deceased but not Forgotten

In the past 1-1/2 years we've lost Glenn Frey, Leon Russell, Gregg Allman and Glenn Campbell. Each one of these guys has a lifetime of musical achievement as recording artist, session men, and performers.

Don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you've got till it's gone..................
