marillion Afraid of Sunlight

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

The Dubliners ... Oro Se do Bheatha 'Bhaile

 

[43096]

Electronic The Patience of a Saint

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Joan Baez .... Brothers In Arms.

 

[AngelRoad]

A playlist of the sacred choral works of Charles Villiers Stanford. His requiem is an amazing work and one I once had the privilege to sing in a performance of in the QEH

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

The Corries ... Mingulay Boat Song

 

[Cambus731]

Al Stewart Modern Times

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

The Oldham Tinkers ... Those Lancashire Lads

 

[Harold Hill]

Nektar: 'It's all in the mind'

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

I heard this line, over and over and over again, in a song that was playing in a store and it sounds like a question asked in a Chinese chip shop.....

"What you weigh, Ding Four?"

Does anyone recognise what song this is?

A great work by an underated composer. His requiem can stand beside the magnificent requiems of Verdi and Berlioz.

 

[AngelRoad]

@52290 completely agree about the Stanford, Ive sung in the Verdi too but not the Berlioz. My music tastes cover pretty much everything from Hildegard von Bingen up to completely contemporary pop. I was fortunate to have an inspirational music teacher and a family who believed in the value, and power, of music.

This is this afternoon’s listening…

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Treorchy Male Voice Choir ... Men of Harlech

 

[nlogax]

Electronic The Patience of a Saint

Only just noticed this - top choice. That entire album is a work of synth art.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

The Corries ... Rose of Allendale

 

[43096]

Only just noticed this - top choice. That entire album is a work of synth art.

Agreed. "Some Distant Memory" and its oboe close is just brilliant.

Electronic were a very under-rated "supergroup" featuring as they did key members of New Order (Bernard Sumner) and The Smiths (Johnny Marr) with substantial contributions at various times from the Pet Shop Boys and Karl Bartos (Kraftwerk).

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

The Houghton Weavers ... The Blackpool Belle.

 

[JTP1973]

Kerbdog Rewind from On The Turn

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

The Corries ... Massacre at Glencoe.

 

[David M]

Wet Leg - Chaise Longue

Plus, anything by Mattiel

Let's not forget Ian Hunter - magnificent songwriter.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem ... Four Green Fields.

 

[AngelRoad]

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Bob Dylan ... Maggie's Farm.

Sounds like What You Waiting For? by Gwen Stafani, although if it isn't I'm going to have "Ding Four" in my head if I ever have the misfortune to hear it again

I've got Stuart Maconie and Mark Radcliffe on Radio 6 on at the moment, will be listening Maconies' Freak Zone rather than watching the match tonight too (I'm not that interested in football, haven't bothered with the Euro 2020 so far, and don't want to jinx it by taking an interest now ... )

Sorry, it was definitely not that one...it was a male singer in the one I heard, who kept repeating that line over and over again...

Oh, possibly George Ezra - Blame it on Me, sorry if you had to listen to my previous answer ...

Oh yes, that is most definitely the one I heard... .....I must add this to my collection of "Misheard Lyrics".

I wonder how much Ding Four actually weighs in at?

 

[Bevan Price]

Mudcrutch (Tom Petty band) - "Shady Grove"

and "The Wrong Thing To Do"

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band ... Thank God I'm a Country Boy.
