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.

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,

OK. THanks.
I listened to the Gary Wright -- I wouldn't have thought to look for him:
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).

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!

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.

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.

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 . . .

i think Petula is very pretty. but yes, she seems so bright and chipper - i just wish i could absorb that.

and here's A Sign of the Times

these may disappear. i had two versions of Downtown bookmarked from sometime last year, but both had been removed. i just found these.

p.s. Pam, sorry to say, i tried to link Dancing in the Street for you, but none of the videos i found for it would load

Thank you Waves. Those Petula Clark songs are so cheerful. I remember hearing her songs when I was a child. They sound better now on Youtube. They where played on AM radio when I was a kid. They sound better now in stereo. BF
