Sends shivers down my spine.
And this speech by Churchill always brings a tear to my eye.
There has never been another in his league.
This is who we are, so let's bring it back!
Crazy, silly fun. Remember what that was like?
How charming is this?
Tom Jones at 80 years old young - he's still got it.
Maybe even better than at 30. Not so full of himself!
Beautifully played.
I loved that strong, clear rendition of Bella Ciao, and her explanation of technique and repetition, in addition to the history as an anti-fascist anthem.
Really, really loved it, and appreciated the reminder of the bravery of the people who risked and often gave their lives at that time.
As for Delibes’ Flower Duet, I could listen to that on a continuous loop every day. Arguably the most pristine, beautiful female duets ever.
Thank you for posting, Splinter.
Glad you liked them!
This one carries a longer time commitment, but it is SO worth it.
You don't have to be American to appreciate the beauty of this song.
Thinking about how close we have come to losing our form of government and our way of life, I found Ray Charles’ version of this anthem moved me to tears. There’s a lot of work ahead, a lot of learning how to come back together. Today is a start!
“And crown thy good with Brotherhood, from sea to shining sea!” [gets me every time]
Today is a start!
@Rice...Yes, but a start to what is still to be determined. I do hope it will include all citizens of the USA.
Child In Time and I remember exactly where I was and what i was reading when i first heard this masterpiece.
QuoteDisplay MoreThere's a nail in the door and there's glass on the lawn
Tacks on the floor and the TV is on
And I always sleep with my guns when you're gone
There's a blade by the bed and a phone in my hand
A dog on the floor and some cash on the nightstand
When I'm all alone the dreaming stops and I just can't stand
What should I do just a little baby
What if the lights go out and maybe
And then the wind just starts to moan
Outside the door he followed me home
Well goodnight moon I want the sun
If it's not here soon I might be done
No it won't be too soon 'til I say, Goodnight moon
There's a shark in the pool and a witch in the tree
A crazy old neighbor and he's been watching me
And there's footsteps loud and strong coming down the hall
Somethings under the bed now it's out in the hedge
There's a big black crow sitting on my window ledge
And I hear something scratching through the wall
Oh what should I do just a little baby
What if the lights go out and maybe
I just hate to be all alone
Outside the door he followed me home
Now goodnight moon I want the sun
If it's not here soon I might be done
No it won't be too soon 'til I say, Goodnight moon
Well you're up so high, how can you save me?
When the dark comes here tonight to take me up
The mouth from woke and into bed
Where it kisses my face eats my hand
Oh what should I do just a little baby
What if the lights go out and maybe
And then the wind just starts to moan
Outside the door he followed me home
Now goodnight moon I want the sun
If it's not here soon I might be done
No it won't be too soon 'til I say, Goodnight moon
No it won't be too soon 'til I say, Goodnight moon
SNL always gets to the heart of the matter.
