I've had this dream before..

I've had this dream before.

I don't know if this merits it's own thread, but I came across this passage, and felt I should share it with all fellow music lovers: Like a breathe of purer air, the music floated through the room, bringing an exquisite delight to the gifted few, and stirring the dullest nature with a sense of something nobler than it knew. Frivolous women listened mutely, pleasure seeking men confessed it's charm, world-worn spirits lived again the better moments of their lives, and wounded hearts found in it a brief solace for the griefs so jealously concealed. At it's magic touch the masks fell from many faces and a momentary softness made them fair: eye met eye with rare sincerity, false smiles faded, vapid conversation died abashed, and for a little space, Music, the divine enchantress, asserted her supremacy, wooing tenderly as any woman, ruling royally as any queen. That was published in 1863. It was written by Louisa May Alcott. (I've been reading her short stories for the past week, and am becoming a big fan) It just goes to show, the power of music is eternal. The times change, but the effect music has on people, doesn't.

Mixed music is a beautiful thing...if you hit it just right. I can't recall how many i've made, where, upon the first or second listen, I find myself skipping track 3 and 6, because they don't fit with the flow. I did, however come up with one from a very specific time, with alot of bands that just melded together quite well. All were from, oh, 74-77 otr so, with a few stragglers. Baby Come Back ~ Player Just Remember I Love You ~ Firefall Dream Weaver ~ Gary Wright Imaginary Lover ~ Atlanta Rythmn Section Those are just a few, but the whole cd had that aura. I played for quite some time.

The Aristocats. Wonderful.

I love this song. One of favorites of Neil's. Terribly poignant. Beautifully sad. My favorite version is fronm the great "Live, Rust Never Sleeps" cd. The way the guitar fades in is a bit cryptic. Baby Come Back ~ Player

I've said this before, but bears repeating... :rockon:Annabelle Rocks!

I think I'd rather be a tree frog than flounder

Anyway, on with the naming of the blessed event due to us, (that's right, we're all family here LOL). Girls: Julie Ayla (from the book) Boys: Matthew Lukas

For the Van Halen one, I got "Ain't Talkin' Bout Dub", by Apollo 440. Still I would've only had nine RATS!

The Real Me. Or as I like to call it, John's Mecca.

Hey, was the name changed to Songwriters since my last visit?

You've not met windy1 yet, I take it. She's a Stones devotee, as well. She's spoken for, though.

What's the rush? Enjoy being a bud before you become a flower.

You'll find, after you've been here a while, that Sammy has an uncanny knack for knowing just when to put in a musical interlude. He's a pro.

I've always liked "Tell it to my Heart" by Taylor Dayne.

I enjoy helping out new members.

I just read this. Maybe one day you're get to see a real one, in person.

Stand back everyone.

I'm with you Mairi. Sue and Jill are just plain bads news.

Said the guy that registered today and has 6 posts. By the way, I'm Jr. Welcome to Songfacts. If you have any questions, send a private message to the Cyberdemon. He's our welcoming committee.

I usually don't stereotype, but hey, you did it first.

Love Will Keep Us Together is a much better tune. Seriously.

This from a person in Virginia claiming to be Vince Gill's twin. Interesting.

I actually remember reading in high school that the 'lady' in the song was supposedly the United States.
