Old school music is cool!

[Blurock]

I always enjoy live music as there is an interaction between musician and audience. One can also appreciate virtuosity if they can play an instrument well, whether it be a violin, flute or rock guitar.

I therefore try my best to attend live performances and keep an open mind to experience new talent. We do not have to follow the rap crap trends from abroad.

Support your local artists!

do tell, what was your most amazing concert experience?

do tell, what was your most amazing concert experience?

In the late sixties and early seventies they used to have the Battle of the Bands in Cape Town. In '69/'70 they had a 24 hr rock concert at Hartleyvale stadium with all the top bands and 1 or 2 British acts. This was just after we saw the movie of the Woodstock festival, so everyone was in the spirit.

Bands included Hawk, Freedom's Children, McCully Workshop, Ballyhoo.... awesome stuff right through the night.

I do not attend shows by has been's that come to SA, but Elton John was very professional and Robbie Williams rocked! Not quite live, but The Rolling Stones at Imax was a highlight.

It is a pity that I will probably never see an Iron Maiden concert.

"Come take my hand
You should know me
I've always been in your mind
You know that I'll be kind
I'll be guiding you

Building your dream
Has to start now
There's no other road to take
You won't make a mistake
I'll be guiding you

You have to believe we are magic
Nothin' can stand in our way
You have to believe we are magic
Don't let your aim ever stray
And if all your hopes survive
Your destiny will arrive
I'll bring all your dreams alive
For you

From where I stand
You are home free
The planets align so rare
There's promise in the air
And I'm guiding you

Through every turn I'll be near you
I'll come anytime you call
I'll catch you when you fall
I'll be guiding you

You have to believe we are magic
Nothin' can stand in our way
You have to believe we are magic
Don't let your aim ever stray
And if all your hopes survive
Your destiny will arrive
I'll bring all your dreams alive
For you" Olivia Newton John

"What we need is a great big melting pot.
Fill it up with the World and what it's got.
Keep it stirring for a hundred years or more.
Turn out coffee coloured people by the score."


Is this giving my age away?

Here is one of the songs
of Iron Maiden...

Fortunes Of War Lyrics

After the war
And now that they've sent us homeward
I can't help but feel that I'm on my own
No one can see just what this conflict has done to
The minds of the men who are on their way home

I'm scarred for life
but it's not my flesh that's wounded
So how can I face the torment alone
The vivid scenes and all the recurring nightmares
I lay there and sweat until it gets light

People say 'don't worry'
Say that time's a perfect healer
That the nightmares they will come to pass
Can't hear what they're saying
I am living in my own world
And I'm feeling trance-like all the time

I hear voices in my head
Could I really be going crazy
In the night the visions seem so real
Do you care if you live or die
When you laugh are you really crying
You're not sure what's real anymore

Fortunes of war
Fortunes of war
Fortunes of war
no pain anymore

Sometimes I wake
I feel that my spirit's broken
I wonder if I've the strength...
carry on carry on

[Citizen X]

I can relate to this figuratively..

"After the war
And now that they've sent us homeward
I can't help but feel that I'm on my own
No one can see just what this conflict has done to
The minds of the men who are on their way home"

[Citizen X]

“I’m your man”

“Call me good, Call me bad, Call me anything you want to baby
But I know that you're sad, And I know I'll make you happy
With the one thing that you never had

Baby, I'm your man
If you're gonna do it, do it right, right?
Do it with me

So good
You're divine
Want to take you, want to make you
But they tell me it's a crime!
Everybody knows where the good people go
But where we're going baby
Ain't no such word as no!

Baby, I'm your man (don't you know who I am?)
Please don't leave me here, to do it on my own)

First class information
I'll be your sexual inspiration
And with some stimulation
We can do it right

So why waste time
With the other guys?
When you can have mine!
I ain't askin' for no sacrifice
Baby your friends do not need to know!
I've got a real nice place to go

Listen,
I don't need you to care
I don't need you to understand
All I want is for you to be there
And when I'm turned on
If you want me
I'm your man!

I'll be your boy, I'll be your man
I'll be the one who understands
I'll be your first, I'll be your last
I'll be the only one you ask
I'll be your friend, I'll be your toy
I'll be the one who brings you joy
I'll be your hope, I'll be your pearl
I'll take you halfway 'round the world!
I'll make you rich, I'll make you poor
Just don't use the door” Wham

[Citizen X]

Quando, Quando, Quando
Engelbert Humperdinck
“Tell me when will you be mine
Tell me quando, quando, quando
We can share a love divine
Please don´t make me wait again

When will you say ´yes´ to me?
Tell me quando, quando, quando
You mean happiness to me
Oh, my love, please tell me when

Every moments a day
Every day seems a lifetime
Let me show you the way
To a joy beyond compare

I can´t wait a moment more
Tell me quando, quando, quando
Say it´s me that you adore
And then, darlin´, tell me when”

IRON MAIDEN LYRICS

Wasted Years 1986

From the coast of gold, across the seven seas
I'm travellin' on, far and wide
But now it seems, I'm just a stranger to myself
And all the things I sometimes do, it isn't me but
someone else

I close my eyes, and think of home
Another city goes by in the night
Ain't it funny how it is, you never miss it 'til it's
gone away
And my heart is lying there and will be 'til my
dying day

So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for
those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realise you're living in the golden years

Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind
Can't ease this pain, so easily
When you can't find the words to say it's hard to
make it through another day
And it makes me wanna cry and throw my
hands up to the sky

So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for
those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realise you're living in the golden years

[Citizen X]

"Ain't it funny how it is, you never miss it 'til it's
gone away
And my heart is lying there and will be 'til my
dying day"
Can definately relate to this sentiment!!!
It ends real classic though.."And realise you're living in the golden years"

Hold me in your arms
“I'll hold you and touch you
And make you my woman
I'll give you my love
With sweet surrender
Tonight, our hearts will beat as one
And I will hold you, touch you
And make you my woman tonight

(Whitney
There's something in your eyes I see
A pure and simple honesty

CHORUS
(Both
Hold me in your arms tonight
Fill my life with pleasure
Let's not waste this precious time
This moment's ours to treasure
Hold me in your arms tonight
We'll make it last forever
When the morning sun appears
We'll find our way together

(Whitney
I believe you when you
Say that you love me
Know that I won't
Take you for granted
Tonight, the magic has begun
So won't you hold me, touch me
And make me your woman tonight

(Teddy
There's something in your eyes I see
I won't betray your trust in me”

Jen Titus lyrics - Oh death

Oh, Death, оh Death, oh Death,
Won't you spare me over til another year

But what is this, that I cant see
with ice cold hands taking hold of me

When God is gone and the Devil takes hold,
who will have mercy on your soul

Oh, Death, оh Death, oh Death,

No wealth, no ruin, no silver, no gold
Nothing satisfies me but your soul

Oh, Death,
Well I am Death, none can excel,
I'll open the door to heaven or hell.

Oh, Death, оh Death,
my name is Death and the end ïs here...

not old school but what a song!!!
