Deleted Member Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) What could be better than the gift of music? Well, a book perhaps, but those are more difficult to share online. If you could "gift" a single piece of music, what would it be? No cheating and suggesting multiple tracks, albums or artists - just a single tune that you think others will be happy to discover. Perhaps an underrated gem, something a bit left field, something that stirs your emotions or just makes your want to move your feet. To get the ball rolling, I'd like to share this: The Girl with the Flaxen Hair, Brighouse and Rastrick Brass Band. You can find it on Spotify or YouTube.

Deleted Member Posted March 23, 2021 Author Posted March 23, 2021 Lovely idea this . I'm a massive music fan , especially George Michael. I have to pick one of his songs, This is called Safe , an album track, not released as a single. Enjoy.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_N4QfFbzkXs
Deleted Member Posted March 23, 2021 Author Posted March 23, 2021 Heap big trouble in the land of plenty "Dire Straight / once upon a time in the west" The verse is appropriate to the current situation. The pandemic is causing problems for everyone in its own way, and no country is spared from major problems worldwide.
qu**** Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 Mum listens to a country and western show on local radio once a week, I heard lady down on love by Alabama, reminded me of a female friend, and probably others would find that to, a beautiful song
Deleted Member Posted March 23, 2021 Author Posted March 23, 2021 "Rise up" by "Andra Day". The video is awesome, inspirational.
Jo**** Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 "The Night They Drove 'Ol Dixie Down" by The Band. Great song reminds me of my dad and being a kid
E-dUbBs Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 Block out the noise- Jonny Craig If that’s not a sexual tune then well I don’t know
Ar**** Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 This is one of my favourite hidden "left of field" gems, Werewolf by CocoRosie (who have a fascinating background tale). I much prefer this live TV version to the regular studio track.
Deleted Member Posted March 23, 2021 Author Posted March 23, 2021 When the day is done: Nick Drake 1969 uk folk artist who was a shy sensitive deep thinking Genius who was ignored in his day. His debut lp is called “ Five leaves left “ and can be heard in full on YouTube
Sp**** Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 You’re a cruel man Starlite!! It’s so hard to choose as we all have different tunes for different moods so I’m going to cheat and name 2. Honesty by Editors is a beautiful song about the conflict of relationships and has the opening line “Don’t you want me to stay I’ll make a rocking horse getaway” and Love is the Law by the Seahorses as it has a kink related line that always makes me chuckle “Strap on Sally chased us down the alley we ***ed for our behinds” 🤣🤣 Great lyrics make great songs and this is a great topic Starlite
