Has it ever happened to you to listen to a song, and then just want to listen over and over and over again? Well, this tune, as sung by Long John Baldry, is a fixed sensation in my mind. I found out about it just by mere chance (and also because of my knack to remembering tunes and words...) I saw a piece of an old movie a few evenings ago (I don't know title nor have I looked it up...the movie was half way finished by the time I hooked up to the screen...eh eh eh) Anyway, it has Susan Sarandon, Goldie Hawn, and Goeffrey Rush in it, and I love all three actors! At one point (during a sort of sad setting, where Susan was drinking and remembering her life as a roadie), I hear, in the distant background, this tune. I didn't know who it was, the title, nothing...I remembered what I thought were the key words, looked it up on Youtube, discovered that many Rock stars have sung this song, but nothing like Long John's version! and...this in fact was what was part of the movie score: Long John Baldry...What a cool voice! Melanchonic blues...absolutely awesome! (imo) A white guy with a black guy's voice! I love you! Posted on 2011.8.8/Mon.
the Orb and Pink Floyd *Wish You Were Here*...this goes to show you how Rock and Chillout~electronic sounds can make a perfect match and blend in together as smoothly as eating your favorite dab of icecream... (;o)*

Electrical Storm, a song by U2, that was released in 2002...a William Orbit musical production. I love this song, it has a wonderful sound, with melanchonic lyrics, driven straight to the point by Bono's warm voice. The video is interesting (directed by Anton Corbijn), also thanks to the (sensual) interpretation of Larry Mullen (U2) himself!

a song by Patti Smith, People Have the Power...this was sung by a variety of Artists (together with the Boss--Bruce Springsteen) in my hometown (Washington, DC) in 2004...And yes, we do have the Power! to fight away wars and to bring skies of Peace...
(una canzone di Patti Smith, People Have the Power--IL Popolo ha il potere--cantata da una varieta' di Artisti (anke con the Boss--Bruce Springsteen) nella mia citta' (Washington, DC), nel 2004--ancora sotto il dominio di Bushit...e si, noi abbiamo la Forza! di combattere via le guerre e portare cieli di Peace/Pace...)
The Power of Love by Frankie Goes to Hollywood...a track from the Eighties: who would have imagined this crazy Band dishing out such a powerful yet delicate, mellow song?! The lyrics are quite poetic and romantic. You wouldn't expect something like this from a (crazy) Group, who had raved the dance floors with their (double-meaning) Relax! I danced with them in a disko, having the fun of our lives! (together with the Village People too!) We really had fun! ((The Power of Love--La Forza dell'amore--di Frankie Goes to Hollywood...una canzone degli anni ottanta: ki avrebbe mai immaginato ke questo Gruppo (folle) sarebbe uscito con una cosi' potente e delicata canzone melodiosa?! Le parole sono piuttosto poetike e romantike. Non ti saresti mai aspettato un brano del genere da un Gruppo ke ha fatto impazzire le diskoteke con il loro Relax dal doppio senso! Ho ballato con loro in diskoteka, divertendoci all'inverosimile, anke con i Village People!
