Talyesin's Tales

10,000 mp3s on random makes for a very odd (and somewhat educational, as in, learning about oneself) music mix.

Went to the Flogging Molly concert last night - great Celtic Punk band. First opening act, sorta uninspiring; second opening act, KICKED IT OLD SCHOOL!!!!; main act, simply awesome. Brilliant.

Thank the gods for earplugs, though - even with them in, my eardrums were thrumming by the end of the night.

It was just what I needed.

SLAINTE MHATH!

Happy music.

I've looked through my collection and there seems to be a preponderance of relaxing, almost melancholy music, with some angry music, and a vast array of parody music. (And that's not to mention all the movie scores.)

Not so much with the happy, though.

So I'm looking for recommendations.

Just in case you needed inspiration for the upcoming St. Paddy's Day.

Here they are, the Into the West lyrics that had me (and still have me) all emotional:

Into the West

Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
Night is falling
You’ve come to journey's end
Sleep now
And dream of the ones who came before
They are calling
From across the distant shore

Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away
Safe in my arms
You're only sleeping

[Chorus]
What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come to carry you home

And all will turn
To silver glass
A light on the water
All souls pass

Hope fades
Into the world of night
Through shadows falling
Out of memory and time
Don't say: «We have come now to the end»
White shores are calling
You and I will meet again

And you'll be here in my arms
Just sleeping

[Chorus]

And all will turn
To silver glass
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the West

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow is going to kick ass.

I just downloaded the trailer, available at http://www.skycaptain.com/ - it is very cool.

I will be INFINITELY grateful, however, if the makers of film trailers would stop using MY Quest for the Thirteen theme music in all their trailers (aka the music from Stargate, used to some success in my epic fantasy campaign).

Somebody explain to me how THIS happened:

They cross the beach sound with the goth sound.

Fucked up man.

I blame Psycho Beach Party.

I know I'm probably wrong. It probably started with Surf Nazis Must Die.

But I've SEEN Psycho Beach Party.

...

Damn you Phil!

Okay, avren, papamikey, any news on ticket info? I can't find it anywhere... the Bell Centre site sucks quite a bit.

YAY!

Oh, and my favorite Sarah McLachlan song is "Ice Cream"...

( Because this is how being in love feels to me... )

DUDE!

Sarah McLachlan's coming to town in August, after The Gathering!

You keen? WHo's driving?

WE GOT IT TOGETHER DID'NT WE
NOBODY BUT YOU AND ME
WE GOT IT TOGETHER BABY

MY FIRST, MY LAST, MY EVERYTHING
AND THE ANSWER TO ALL MY DREAMS
YOU'RE MY SUN, MY MOON, MY GUIDING STAR
MY KIND OF WONDERFUL, THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE

I KNOW THERE'S ONLY, ONLY ONE LIKE YOU
THERES NO WAY THEY COULD HAVE MADE TWO
YOU'RE YOU'RE ALL I'M LIVING FOR
YOUR LOVE I'LL KEEP FOR EVERMORE,

YOU'RE THE FIRST MY LAST MY EVERYTHING
IN YOU I'VE FOUND SO MANY THINGS
A LOVE SO NEW ONLY YOU COULD BRING

CAN'T YOU SEE IF YOU,
YOU'LL MAKE ME FEEL THIS WAY
YOU'RE LIKE A FIRST MORNING DEW ON A BRAND NEW DAY
I SEE SO MANY WAYS THAT I CAN LOVE YOU
TILL THE DAY I DIE........

YOU'RE MY REALITY YET I'M LOST IN A DREAM
YOU'RE THE FIRST MY LAST MY EVERYTHING

*** INSTRUMENTAL ***

I KNOW THERE'S ONLY, ONLY ONE LIKE YOU
THERES NO WAY THEY COULD HAVE MADE TWO
GIRL YOU'RE MY REALITY
BUT I'M LOST IN A DREAM
YOU'RE THE FIRST YOU'RE THE LAST MY EVERYTHING

Try The Corrs, especially their Unplugged album. If they are Clippers music I don't know what is.
