4000 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 (edited) No Bass? I'm with you on Adagio Bilbo. I've also fallen utterly in love with Martin Simpson's playing recently; Rose of Allendale or She Slips Away would be prime examples. Simon & Garfunkel Scarborough Fair/Canticle, KT Tunstall "Alchemy" & "Scarlet Tulip", Kate Bush "The Man With The Child In His Eyes", and loads of others that I'll have to think about (it's late and I've had wine!). My all-time favourite bit of music is the start of Shine On You Crazy Diamond by Pink Floyd, the fade-in keyboard single note with all the tinkly stuff behind. Nothing has ever come close to approaching that for me. It's like the Sound of the Universe! To be honest most of the music I listen to at the moment is fairly haunting, hypnotic, repetitive stuff, played on acoustic guitar and with no bass whatsoever. If I could play guitar like Martin Simpson I'd probably give up bass entirely.

chardbass Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Original studio recording of 'A Remark You Made' is so beautiful and moving for me. A non-bass related winner for me is 'I Can't Make You Love Me'- Bonnie Raitt or George Michael. A hard lyric to listen to if you've ever experienced unrequited love.
