Great mixing of the song with images from the film, iconic. (Warning may disgust some viewers)

So this is playing in the local, and I have a earphone in the other ear listening to the Atheist Experience and, I think is that a really cool cover of Union City Blues, and it isn't, it is this which is ok, but ain't no really cool cover of Union City Blues, which Radiohead's isn't either, but anyway if any of those really talented people I know could do it, a chilled slow jazzy funk version of Union City Blues would be bloody copacetic

Just been singing this in the car coming home from the school summer fete. So in the rain, obviously. Accompanied by the scent of lemon drizzle cake and the sound of the five -yes, five - bottles of wine my son won with six tickets on the bottle stall clinking happily in the boot.

Always wanted to get the courage to sing this at open mic night at the nearest folky pub. But the owner forced the landlord out and now the pub's closed.

I have never posted on this thread so I'll make up for it by posting a Mashup. Maybe I just have a short attention span.

Quote from: Shaker on May 05, 2015, 10:58:10 PM

Quote from: Dicky Underpants on May 05, 2015, 05:19:20 PM

However, relating to what Shaker said of RVW's attitude to the "Wrong-note School", you should try his 4th Symphony - full of fury and dissonance. Of this the composer said "I don't know if I like it, but it's what I meant"

The same with parts of Job. Not overdone though - in fact beautifully done. In other words, still music.

Quote
*I wonder if our dear BA would ever understand how an agnostic like RVW could respond to such 'spiritual' themes?

See also Verdi. And Delius

It should not be forgotten that the agnostic RVW edited the English Hymnal.

Another interesting piece by a nonbeliever is the Requiem by Gabriel Faure. I think that the final In Paradisum is so comforting and etherially beautiful that I would have it played at my - possibly humanist - funeral.

Also a favourite piece by one of my 'very strong atheist' friends. It is indeed a lovely piece - I first came across it when I sang in it at the age of 17. I myself was quite 'spiritual' then - I didn't stop liking it when I became far less so.

Yep. I remember paying 7/6 (35p?) to see them play many moons ago, at the local town hall.

Forgive me, I may have posted this before.... can't remember! Blast my memory...

Just beautiful..... written for his wife Gwyneth Paltrow when she was in pieces after her father died. What a lovely gesture...
