Old school music is cool!

Cliff Richard? Oh yes, that was the sweet English boy who liked bus rides...

Okay, I know that there's a somewhat mixed reaction to Cliff Richard's music I was a little kid when I first heard, 'we don't talk anymore,' at the time, my folks always tried to take us on some holiday in December; this song takes me back to the early 80's. Blurock, I know you'll appreciate what I'm about to say, '7 single,' now in 1986 Cliff Richard and Sarah Brightman released the 7 single of 'All I ask of you,' those who love opera(not me) will find it particularly memorable in the context of 'Phamtom of the opera.'

...rather tongue in cheek Vanash. I was referring to the movie "Summer Holiday" he made with the Shadows back in the 60's (also pop icons in their day). It was rather fun and was about this British band who toured Europe in a London bus. You should try to get the video.

Nothing wrong with Sir Cliff's music, although I thought that "Bachelor Boy" would sound better without the strings (violins).

I'd like to get that video! I love the Shadows and Cliff Richard's contribution to the Shadows. The Shadows put heart and soul into guitar music. It's actually only their music which seems to calm me when I've really had a miserable day tunes like Apache,' 'Mustang,' and 'cosy'
You simply have to feeeeeel this one..."Apache," The Sahdows

OKAY, Blurock, I'm now on the same page!!!!!
I proudly give you Cliff Richard: A summer Holiday and yes, with the bus scene!!!!


"We're all going on a summer holiday.
No more working for a week or two.
Fun and laughter on a summer holiday.
No more worries for me and you.
For a week or two.

We're going where the sun shines brightly.
We're going where the sea is blue.
We've seen it in the movies.
Now let's see if it's true.

Everybody has a summer holiday
Doing things they always wanted to.
So we're going on a summer holiday
To make our dreams come true
For me and you.

We're going where the sun shines brightly.
We're going where the sea is blue.
We've seen it in the movies.
Now let's see if it's true.

Everybody has a summer holiday
Doing things they always wanted to.
So we're going on a summer holiday
To make our dreams come true
For me and you."

You get the idea, but you should have seen the movie! I loved the music of the Shadows. They were copied by bands such as the Ventures, but they were the most successful instrumental band.

Only problem I had with Cliff's music was those violins. Sounds so 50's!

Dancing in the moonlight: Top Loader
How to win a women’s heart poor boy style!
You simply must appreciate the poor boys are increasingly creative and intuitive! Her wish, in the movie and book, as per her list, be in two places at the very same time!
The poor boy solution: It ingenious really!
This is where movie magic and music come rather nicely together! As the original Bond would have said, “ It’s a neat trick!”




“It’s a feeling, a heart beat.” “You can copy it but there’s no copy to it.” “ One thing about music, when it hits you, you feel okay.” “ Come we go chant down Babylon one more time.” “ It’s the feeeeeel, me explain to musician, him know it, but him can’t do it.”

“We get it almost every night,
When that moon gets big and bright,
It's a supernatural delight,
Everybody was dancin' in the moonlight

Everybody here is out of sight
They don't bark and they don't bite
They keep things loose, they keep things light
Everybody was dancin' in the moonlight

Dancin' in the moonlight
Everybody's feeling warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight

We like our fun and we never fight
You can't dance and stay uptight
It's a supernatural delight
Everybody was dancing in the moonlight

Dancing in the moonlight
Everybody's feeling warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

Everybody here is out of sight
They don't bark and they don't bite
They keep things loose, they keep things light
Everybody was dancin' in the moonlight

Everybody's Dancing in the moonlight
Everybody's feeling warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight”

Hot Patootie bless my soul: Meat Loaf(aka Saturday night): Scene: When he gets chopped to death by some unnamed character
Meatloaf was young and innocent. You can see it from his facial expressions in this video, a nice rendition by someone out there..

“Whatever happened to Saturday night
When you dressed up sharp and you felt alright?
It don't seem the same since cosmic light
Came into my life, I thought I was divine...

I used to go for a ride with a chick who'd go
And listen to the music on the radio
A saxophone was blowin' on a rock & roll show.
You climbed in the back seat, you really had a good time.

Hot patootie, bless my soul, I really love that rock 'n' roll.

My head used to swim from the perfume I smelled
My hands kind of fumbled with her white plastic belt
I'd taste her baby pink lipstick and that's when I'd melt
She'd whisper in my ear tonight she really was mine

Get back in front, put some hair oil on
Buddy Holly was singing his very last song.
With your arms around your girl you'd try to sing along.
It felt pretty good, oh, you really had a good time.

Hot patootie, bless my soul, I really love that rock 'n' roll”

Our weather gloomy as it seems took me back to this song from Lahannya (range between industrial and melodic metal). Just surrender and close your eyes. This music is a rare delicacy...

Lahannya "Rain"

"The storm breaks
The skies cloud over me
In silence
A supernova inside me

Control freak
The voice of reason in my ear
Redemption
Degrees of freedom
Alternative to fear

Contagious
Burning infection of the soul
Ignition
A chain reaction as the goal

Transgression
Private rebellion my escape
Alone with
So many questions
Alternative to fate

And I dream of running with the wind
And I net a reason not to care

Feel the rain on my face
Feel the wind on my skin
Tossed and turned on our way
As the wheel of fortune spins

Once you've broken the spell
You have broken the chains
With the future as prize
You are free of the game

This song represents the sum total of the 'slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,' that I currently face!
As I battle with insomnia tonight or rather this morning(Good morning South Africa, I'm up for today, my day starts now!) My current supernova!
"The storm breaks
The skies cloud over me
In silence
A supernova inside me"


My voice of reason is not always sufficient to deal with the affliction of the time!
“Control freak
The voice of reason in my ear
Redemption
Degrees of freedom
Alternative to fear”
Marley put it this way, “ AND if your night should turn to day, alot of the people would run away now,” night can only turn to day if you can’t sleep!
“Control freak
The voice of reason in my ear
Redemption
Degrees of freedom
Alternative to fear:
Sometimes it is as it is, you really only have so much freedom, given your predicament

Ek Wil Jou Nooit Weer Sien: André Schwartz: 1995

This song takes me back to 1995. I found myself living at the ‘Van Riebeck Hotel,’ in van derbilj Park for a while. They played this song a lot in the bar of that hotel: The message was pretty clear, sometimes, Afrikaans is the best language to tell a women that you’ve had enough!


“Ek wil jou nooit weer sien! Die lewe is te kort daarvoor.
Ek wil myself geniet.Daar bly nog duisend vreugdes oor.
Ek wil myself besluit, om nooit ooit weer deur een soos jy te ly.
Ek wil jou nooit weer sien!
Toe loop nou.Ek wil jou nooit weer sien!


Inleiding

Jy, staan nou weer voor my deur en sê ek moet jou weer terug neem.
Jy, wat my al talle maal so seer gemak het en dan net lag.
Jy, wat ander manne vat en dan dink dit is net 'n spel.
Luister mooi wat ek nou vir jou sê ... he, he.
Ek wil jou nooit weer sien!
Die lewe is te kort daarvoor.
Ek wil myself geniet.
Daar bly nog duisend vreugdes oor.
Ek wil myself besluit, om nooit ooit weer deur een soos jy te ly.
Ek wil jou nooit weer sien!
Toe loop nou.
Ek wil jou nooit weer sien!
Ek, ek is gelukkig nou.
En as ek aan jou dink wil ek lag.
Om, te weet dat ek kan leef sonder die seerkry van jou ontrou.
Jy, het lank genoeg gestaan.
Toe loop en gaan jou gang.
Luister mooi wat ek nou vir jou sê ... he,he.
Ek wil jou nooit weer sien!
Die lewe is te kort daarvoor.
Ek wil myself geniet.
Daar bly nog duisend vreugdes oor.
Ek wil myself besluit, om nooit ooit weer deur een soos jy te ly.
Ek wil jou nooit weer sien.
Toe loop nou.
Ek wil jou nooit weer sien!
Los tog jou leuens nou, daar niks te bou nou.
Alles is klaar tussen ons.
Daar is 'n wêreld, 'n oop vrye wêreld.
Niemand gaan my ooit weer kul.
Ja, in die môre, môre gaan dit ander wees.
Ja ek gaan lewe, lewe sonder jou.
Ek wil jou nooit weer sien!
Die lewe is te kort daarvoor.
Ek wil myself geniet.
Daar bly nog duisend vreugdes oor.
Ek wil myself besluit, om nooit ooit weer deur een soos jy te ly.
Ek wil jou nooit weer sien.
Toe loop nou.
Ek wil jou nooit weer sien!
Ek wil jou nooit weer sien!
