Question youtube: do you have a favorite oldy song you could share

Hi,
I listened to Joan Baez's "Forever Young" just now.
I'm in a calm place right now.

The song seems to have the good vibe of a blessing and yet the sad vibes of something else.

So maybe I will move on to another song.
Anyone have any songs that help you sometimes?

M.

Lightbulb oldies... hmmm... well favorites, anyway

thinking of these as oldies is weird, but one of my favorite "soothers" that i have bookmarked is

Dreamweaver by Gary Wright.

Another is

Dust In The Wind by Kansas.

Mari could you post a link to your Joan Baez song?

good thread! and good to hear you are in a calm place.

HI,

Whoops.
Here is the Baez link:

And let others do for you.
OK. THanks.
I listened to the Gary Wright -- I wouldn't have thought to look for him:
Quote:
Dream weaver I belive you can get me trough the night
Dream weaver I belive we can reach the morning light
My friends used to listen to Kansas when we were kids.

Saw this in another area of Neuro Talk. It's called God and Dog. It is very simple and touching (I think).

Lightbulb

This is a very oldy oldy: I remember I was 12 when this was on the charts. I was in the hospital for a foot operation, and listened to it alot on my dad's new transister radio!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqOtojNN9Ek

In fact I have many of the old works of Johnny Mathis (before 1965) when his voice was perfect. It took me quite a while to collect the very oldest of his...but today many have been remastered. He lost some of his great range/voice because of his smoking.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEH3uqbpsm8
This famous song shows the album cover with his cigarette.

This one from his religious album in 1958 shows his great voice
and range. Good Night Dear Lord. This is Deep River, a gospel song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_P7E_dSoCM
I love this album. In fact I mentioned this once before and a poster came here from S.Africa asking me where he could find this album!
It was produced by Mitch Miller and the orchestra of Percy Faith.
A real nostalgic thing...for those who grew up in the 50's!

I need an upbeat song.
Then eventually I move on to another song after a few weeks . . .

Link Burnin' for you - BOC

Burnin' For You by Blue Oyster Cult

(album Fire of Unknown Origin 1981 CBS Records)

this little bit, and in particular all of the second quartet, holds particular meaning for me, albeit with melancholy and nostalgia. it is reassuring to hear someone else sing it somehow. it makes me feel less alone in it.

Quote:
Home in the valley
Home in the city
Home isn't pretty
Ain't no home for me

Home in the darkness
Home on the highway
Home isn't my way
Home I'll never be
i hope this doesn't depress people.

Link You Needed Me - by Anne Murray

This is a song that BrokenFriend posted about, for the New Year. It is one I love as well, so i wanted to add a link to this thread:

You Needed Me by Anne Murray

Other versions have lyrics and image sequences. But she is very easy to understand without lyrics displayed. So, I picked this one which shows Anne Murray singing. There is a spot in the middle where it all goes black but she does "come back" after a while.

y'all enjoy.
