Old school music is cool!

This is how real music is played LIVE! No bullshit, no light shows, no dancing girls or other distractions. Real musicians don't need that crap. These Toppies Rock!

Classic Carly Simon. You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you.....

Carly Simon's 1972 hit "You're So Vain" with lyrics below.

LYRICS:

You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner
They'd be your partner, and....

You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you
You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive
Well you said that we made such a pretty pair
and that you would never leave

But you gave away the things you loved and one of them was me
I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee and....

You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you.....

Well I hear you went up to Saratoga and your horse naturally won
Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia to see the total eclipse of the sun
Well, you're where you should be all of the time
And when you're not you're with
Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend
Wife of a close friend, and....

You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you.....

O! What should have been. Freedom's Children was the best 1960'/70's rock band to come out of Africa, but was prevented from making inroads on the international stage because of politics. Being from Apartheid South Africa, they were refused a work permit and kicked out of Britain in the late 1960's. On their return, they recorded the brilliant "Astra" album for the small local audience.

"The Home coming" was the second cut and describes how "Our astral ways have begun". This video is, as far as can be ascertained, the first real attempt that has been made to lend some visual imagery to this highly evocative soundscape. Look, listen and imagine what the world of music could have been like today if politics did not get in the way -- perhaps we would still have been "grooving" on astral rock. Definitely some of the best lost rock ever.

To Ramsay Mackay, Julian Laxton, Colin Pratly, Gerard Nel, Nicolas Martens & Brian Davidson: we salute you!

CHILD OF THE MOON *
(Jagger/Richards)

The wind blows rain into my face
The sun glows at the end of the highway
Child of the moon, rub your rainy eyes
Oh, child of the moon
Give me a wide-awake crescent-shaped smile

She shivers, by the light she is hidden
She flickers like a lamp lady vision
Child of the moon, rub your rainy eyes
Child of the moon
Give me a wide-awake crescent-shaped smile

The first car on the foggy road riding
The last star for my lady is pining
Oh, child of the moon, bid the sun arise
Oh, child of the moon
Give me a misty day, pearly gray, silver, silky faced,
Wide-awake crescent-shaped smile

How about some late night Blues?

Beautiful guitar.

[Blurock]

Another Rock classic!

Sweet child in time, you'll see the line
Line that's drawn between good and bad
See the blind man shooting at the world
Bullets flying, ooh taking toll
If you've been bad - Oh Lord I bet you have
And you've not been hit oh by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes, aahaouho bow your head
Wait for the ricochet

[Blurock]

Excellent cover of the old Fleetwood Mac number originally sung by Stevie Nicks.

[Blurock]

sing your song sweet music man

sing your song sweet music man,
'cos I won't be there to hold your hand like I used to,
I'm thro' with you.

You're a hell of a singer and a powerful man
but you surround yourself
with people who demand so little of you.

You touched my soul with your beautiful song,
you even had me singing along right with you,
you said I need you.

Then you changed the words and added harmony
and you sang the song you had written for me
to someone new.

But nobody sings a love song quite like you do
and nobody else could make me sing along
and nobody else could make me feel
that things are right when I know they're wrong
( that things are right when you're wrong with the song )
nobody sings a love song quite like you.

Sing your song sweet music man
You travel the world with a six piece band
that does for you what you ask 'em to.

And you try to stay young
But the songs you've sung to so many people
they've all begun to come back on you.

So sing your song sad music man,
you're making your living doing one night stands,
that prove to you they don't need you.

You're still a hell of a singer but a broken man,
but you'll keep on looking for one last fan
to sing 'em to.

But nobody sings ...
So sing your song sweet music man
I believe in you.

[Blurock]

Time for some late night Blues. Enjoy!

Good old Bubblegum Music

"So Long Marianne"

Come over to the WINDOW, my little darling,
I'd like to try to read your palm.
I used to think I was some kind of Gypsy boy
before I let you take me home.
Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.

Well you know that I love to live with you,
but you make me forget so very much.
I forget to pray for the angels
and then the angels forget to pray for us.

Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began ...

We met when we were almost young
deep in the green lilac park.
You held on to me like I was a crucifix,
as we went kneeling through the dark.

Oh so long, Marianne, it's time that we began ...

Your letters they all say that you're beside me now.
Then why do I feel alone?
I'm standing on a ledge and your fine spider web
is fastening my ankle to a stone.

Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began ...

For now I need your hidden love.
I'm cold as a new razor blade.
You left when I told you I was curious,
I never said that I was brave.

Oh so long, Marianne, it's time that we began ...

Oh, you are really such a pretty one.
I see you've gone and changed your name again.
And just when I climbed this whole mountainside,
to wash my eyelids in the rain!

Oh so long, Marianne, it's time that we began ...
