Dood Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 [quote name='krth1985' post='1064713' date='Dec 20 2010, 03:15 PM']In Loving Memory by Alter Bridge deserves a mention. Especially the version below, live in Amsterdam. When the crown sings back and you can clearly see Tremonti holding back tears, always gives my goosebumps.

Dood Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I've always liked Erik Satie's 'Gymnopodie No.1' as a piece of music that moves me. In the last week or so I've been delving more in to Satie's work and have found another piece that I didn't realise was by him too. This, Gnossienne No.1 just hits the spot - I don't know what it is.. the slight sense of despair or loneliness - but it is beautiful. I've heard a few versions by different musicians - some rush the piece and it doesn't sit with me as well, but this guy on YouTube has totally nailed it. Infact, hearing the many different interpretations of the piece (which in turn changes the whole mood of the music) has actually made me stop and take a look at my own playing too, noting the subtleties in Gnossienne No.1 and how it affects the listener - which has got to be a good thing. Ok, so here it is.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw them one year in the acoustic tent at Glastonbury: by far one of the best live performances I've ever seen. Beth Gibbons' voice is a true spine-tingler.

fryer Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 They sound happy compared to this - Jim Reeves - Old Tige. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaEGlYFhnRc"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaEGlYFhnRc[/url] (Tige you were faithful faithful to the end Tige how I miss you you were my best friend) Three years of Army Service done and I was headin' home at last. I got to thinking bout my dog and things long gone and past. How old Tige pulled me from the creek when I had no pulse or breath, and how he saved me from the chargin' bull that gored my Dad to death. As a kid I'd dream of bears and tremble to my toes Till old Tige come up to my bed and nudge me with his nose. Then my fears would melt away and Tige would go lie down, I'd drift on back to sleep without another sound. The big bus stopped I got off - it was awful dark and thick with fog. Then something gently nuzzled me and there stood Tige my dog. I wondered if my faithful dog had met the bus each day And all the dreary winter nights since I'd been away. To have Tige meet me here like this, I was...I was really glad 'Cause I hadn't needed Tige so much since the day they'd buried Dad. Two long miles still lay ahead, but what I didn't know A giant Dam was being built where the old road used to go. I thank the Lord for sending Tige and I followed where he led, Knowing well without his help that I'd be good as dead. Tige inched along this way and that, going rough and slow, And I could hear the water lappin' at the ledges far below. Then through the mist I saw a light and mother in her chair, I reached down to pet old Tige but he wasn't there. I'm thankful Mom you had old Tige these three lonely years I owe my life to him tonight, I couldn't help my tears. You say you wrote me bout the Dam, well, God was sure with us I didn't get your letter, Mom, but old Tige met the bus. I hate to tell you son, she said, but now you've got to know. When you left it broke his heart...Tige died three years ago. (You were my best friend) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
