Old school music is cool!

[Citizen X]

“Stir It Up" is a love song written by Bob Marley in 1967 for his wife Rita. It remains one of his most beautiful love songs! This video includes Marley uncut at his very best. The guitar work in this song is plain magic!


The music sheet for this song is attached for those of you who want to delve deeper into this particular song!

I recant! Old school music is not cool at all, it’s very cool!
This is not a repeat: It’s rather a follow up to the previous post of ‘version girl,’ This is the polished final version..A ‘toasting’ master piece! Just looking for some kindred spirit out there who appreciates the history of this song, the unique ability of a reggae song to intertwine love, religion, history, academia and politics into a final work of art..
Astro: Version with discursion from the top of this backing track, umh, As Bunny Lee the Aggro-man would say, 'hit me back for days and extra days,' Al Laurence would say, 'ooh boo ska boo,' all lovers would say who rhythm and black its very sad alright take five
Princess:“I sit in the sun waiting for you to come along
So my heart will be satisfied
So please let me be your number one
Under the moon, under the stars and under the sun
Its so hard to find a personality with charms like yours for me, all right.”

Been listening to this song a lot lately.

BREAKING BENJAMIN "Dear Agony"

I have nothing left to give
I have found the perfect end
You were made to make it hurt
Disappear into the dirt
Carry me to heaven's arms
Light the way and let me go
Take the time to take my breath
I will end where I began

And I will find the enemy within
Cause I can feel it crawl beneath my skin

Dear Agony
Just let go of me
Suffer slowly
Is this the way it's gotta be?
Dear Agony

Suddenly
The lights go out
Let forever
Drag me down
I will fight for one last breath
I will fight until the end

And I will find the enemy within
Cause I can feel it crawl beneath my skin

Dear Agony
Just let go of me
Suffer slowly
Is this the way it's gotta be?
Don't bury me
Faceless enemy
I'm so sorry
Is this the way it's gotta be?
Dear Agony

Leave me alone
God let me go
I'm blue and cold
Black sky will burn
Love pull me down
Hate lift me up
Just turn around
There's nothing left

Somewhere far beyond this world
I feel nothing anymore

Dear Agony
Just let go of me
Suffer slowly
Is this the way it's gotta be?
Don't bury me
Faceless enemy
I'm so sorry
Is this the way it's gotta be?
Dear Agony

I feel nothing anymore

RIP Robin Gibb.

The early Bee Gees ballads were always one of my favorites. They seemed to lose it when they started wearing smaller, tighter underpants and started screeching that disco music. However, they still deserve to be in the music Hall of Fame.

Blurock, Yes we lost a great artist. Every one of their songs is engraved in my heart and mind!

[Citizen X]

Rest in peace Robin GibbIn high school, my peeps and I, would almost always get drunk together listening to a combination of The Bee Gees, Lionel Richie, Bob Marley, UB40, Barry White and Teddy Pendergrass.

"How Deep Is Your Love"“I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again

And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love
Then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show

How deep is your love?
How deep is your love?
I really meant to learn
Cos we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they
All should let us be.

I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
You're the light in my deepest, darkest hour
My savior when I fall

And you may not think I care for you
When you know down inside
That I really do

How deep is your love?
How deep is your love?
I really meant to learn
Cos we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they
All should let us be.”

Old school works for me as well as new age, but when they start taking old school music and convert into new age is another thing. Some I agree is cool others (Pittbul mixes) are such a load of crap.

I couldn't have said it better myself Willie! Some remixes do the original song justice whilst others butcher the original song! Take for instance, ras Dumisani’s rendition of ‘"Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika," at the start of that Rugby game against France:”Reggae singer Ras Dumisani mauled, mutilated and murdered the national anthem in a hilariously off-key rendition before South Africa played France in a rugby international last Friday.”
This video is a textbook example of how not to do it!!!

Rap is for people that can not sing.

Say no more...

I have nothing left to give
I have found the perfect end
You were made to make it hurt
Disappear into the dirt
Carry me to heaven's arms
Light the way and let me go
Take the time to take my breath
I will end where I began

Tec0, I truly hope that I personally can end up where I began!
I love this song! This is alternate rock and not hard rock. We often hear of the calm before the storm, but with this song, it’s a case of the storm before the calm as this song starts with prominent drumming and then eases to what is a very mellow song! What’s noteworthy is that these are Wyoming Valley boys. They grew up in what was the old wild west, the original cowboys turf, the real McCoy
Some of the most beautiful mountains are in the Wyoming Valley: Pocono Mountains to the east, the Endless Mountains to the west and the Lehigh Valley to the south. I have a thing for the wild west, “ I’m a cowboy ion the steel horse I ride, I’m wanted dead or alive!” “ I want to be a cowboy baby!” Well, I do indulge in chewing tobacco and I’m a lone-ranger cowboy with my 2 dogs riding shot gun.
“Riding shotgun on a hearse!” Any clues where this comes from?
“I wanna be a Cowboy baby, Riding at night cause I sleep all day
Cowboy baby,I bet you'll hear my whistle blowing when my train rolls in
It goes (whistle) like dust in the wind, Stoned pimp, stoned freak, stoned out of my mind
I once was lost, but now I'm just blind,”
So, in true cowboy poker style, ‘I’ll give you action,”
But first: Some pictures from one of the locals of the Wyoming Valley: Hank Rogers
