ahdn_paul_06Thanks for sharing @Beatleva, I never heard that song before. Powerful lyrics about loss, especially the end

“For the waves are all around my small canoe/I had always hoped this boat could carry two”.

 

I wonder if he wrote this song (with a little more hopeful lyrics) for the same person.

I’m glad you liked it 😀

I’ve only discovered Don McLean recently (Of course I’ve heard American Pie before…) but I immediately loved his deep and powerful lyrics and the emotion he puts into his vocals.

I agree, he is a great talent and sings with a lot of soul. He still tours here (US) and in Europe so maybe you can catch his show sometime. I have several of Don’s CDs and I think one contains some rarities. If anything looks of special interest I’ll upload it to youtube and let you know.

This guy has come a long way from starting out as an extra in A Hard Day’s Night .

The girl steals the show …..just…..but it’s his song.

Give my goose bumps goose bumps.

I came across this guy a short while back…….

There’s a strange peacefulness and calm to his performance……

I kinda can’t get enough of the Traveling Wilburys’ ‘Handle With Care’. I think I mostly love George in it though. a-hard-days-night-george-9 

The music video is pretty awesome– they all look fab, not just George (pain me though it does to admit it). And George does this little dance at 2:55 while playing the slide guitar solo that’s just like in the Blow Away video.

^ Roy is pretty awesome in this song as well.

For me I have Smile Away off Ram stuck in my head. Mostly the music.

I watched The Wall for the first time some days ago and I became badly obsessed with Comfortably Numb, it’s just too awesome. And I’ve also been on a big Pink Floyd kick lately (especially Obscured By Clouds and The Dark Side Of The Moon).

PINK FLOYD! beatlemaniacs_02_gif

It’s funny how Beatles fans often share other non-Beatles music likes.

Thanks, SG, I forgot all about that little slice of perfection. Lynne, Petty, Orbison, Dylan and Harrison–can you imagine such talent all together at the same time? Wow. beatlemaniacs_02_gif

I say in speeches that a plausible mission of artists is to make people appreciate being alive at least a little bit. I am then asked if I know of any artists who pulled that off. I reply, 'The Beatles did'.

Yeah, and when it comes to Pink Floyd it’s even better, considering the little coincidences between both bands, for example, they were present at the studio when The Beatles were recording Lovely Rita . It’s a shame they only watched because Lovely Rita is one of my favourite songs, and having Rick and the others Pink Floyd playing or something would have been cool.
