Re: Your favourite song at the moment..

Oh the elegiac threnody of this piece . . .

This calls to mind "The Bells Will Sound Forever".

As per my recent promise in the puppet passage of the day thread, here is Abba's 'Tiger' live from '77.

Re: Your favourite song at the moment..

If "Royal Courtship" doesn't remind you of Borges or Kafka...or "Out in the Snow" Ms. Shelly I'll be surprised.

Play the Al Stewart Quiz
"Royal Courtship"

I sent my majordomo to your amanuensis
To ascertain your feelings, and strip away pretenses
And then a few days later, you sent back your vizier
And though he spoke quite courtesously
His meaning wasn't clear
Not to my majordomo
Not to my majordomo

So I sent my acolyte to further our relations
And he engaged your ministers in lengthy conversations
One or two were willingto discuss the matter frankly
We then received your advocate
Who told me that you thanked me
Also my majordomo
Also my majordomo

I therefore told my counselor to offer my best wishes
And he was greeted cordially with smiles and festive dishes
I further was encouraged by a note in your handwriting
Delivered by your confidant, it seemed you were inviting

My plenipotentiary with great felicitations
To join your chief of protocol in swift negotiations
But something must have happened
A secret door had closed then
The word from my ambassador was you were indisposed
And could not meet my majordomo
There's nothing I can do now
I sent my majordomo
I sent my majordomo

If you like this type of ambient sound you might want to check out Atrium Carceri, Lustmord, Raison D'etre, Robert Rich, and Alio Die.

Here are some examples:

This is so beautiful. Basically Dante singing to Beatrice.

Re: Your favourite song at the moment..

This song always makes think of my dear old special friend the (growling) Tyger. And so I post it here for him, again ... I love you, man.

I would ramble on insensibly again but I think I am in danger of becoming a perfectly dreadful bore to the TLO.

Re: Your favourite song at the moment..

Hmm... I am an Englishman. Again.

I'm awfully sorry, but despite the danger of repetition there's really no getting away from it.

- Just saw these guys play tonight; not only did they put on an excellent show, but were also one of the most approachable, down to earth bands I've ever come across.

Re: Your favourite song at the moment..

Apologies, I am on a big Al Bowlly jag of late.

Mark S.

Re: Your favourite song at the moment..

OK I promise not to be a hog and post any more Al Bowlly.

Last one.
