Been listening to Madeline Peyroux tonight... she is rather amazing.

Not just anyone can cover Cohen...

Cool. She's got a nice Billie Holiday intonation.

You just got listen...

Georgette Fry does an amazing and more traditional version of "I'd Rather Go Blind" but I'll be damned if I can find it anywhere online...

She is also our way of apologizing for Celine Dion.

Spent last night listening and watching David Gilmour's "Remember That Night" dvd... it is a must have for anyone's collection.

We have a local group here in Tallahassee I have been listening to as of late:

Richard Thompson, master singer/songwriter/guitarist, is scarily good, as usual. Mingus Eyes:

I think this is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard...

Darn! I'm getting a "video no longer available"

I love Richard and Linda Thompson...my favorite is Walking on a Wire.

I was playing this over and over in my car the past two days. The whole Inside of Emptiness album was great, but this was the highlight.

John Frusciante - A Firm Kick (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0s6MB9iGCtg)

I've been listening to Richard and Mimi Farina lately, surprized to find video on you tube

Search should find it for ya... I am listening to it now.

Probably one of the most under-rated performers of the last 30 or so years...

YouTube - Cyndi Lauper - I'll Be Your River - 1/24/06

Where's the metalcore & screamo?

Anyways, pretty much anything by Enigma is a good song. Probably one of the best musical project groups ever.

Wow...that's a blast from the past! Richard Farina was also a noted novelist, friend of and admired by Thomas Pynchon.

That brings to mind a favorite artist...another folkie, Phil Ochs:

Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up to Me is one of my all time favourite
books, must have read it a dozen times when I was in college, in fact my final paper
was on that book (for a lit class on satire).
So, can we bring in Ian and Sylvia? early Lightfoot? Tom Paxton and PP&M?

this is another one that's high on my play list and rather unknown in the states. In the UK its a bit
overplayed and over tired.
YouTube - *Top *Of *The *Pops* 70s*-#55.Ralph McTell-Streets Of Lond

One of the greatest songs ever.

And so nicely done...

YouTube - Cyndi Lauper - At Last

Cool. She's got a nice Billie Holiday intonation.

She sounds a LOT like Billie Holiday!

From the people who brought you Celine Dion... (please forgive us).

Our own k.d. lang...

YouTube - K.D. Lang sings Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah

"A white flag in my hand,
And a white bone in the sand.
And it seems that there are no more songs."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5XBOthE6CQ

Phil Ochs: No More Songs. Depressing lyrics combined with a beautiful melody.

David Bromberg "The holdup"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QxqEALeoVU&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lyricszoo.com%2Fdavid-bromberg%2Fthe-holdup-david-bromberg-bromberg-david%2F&feature=player_embedded#t=34

Our own k.d. lang... "Hallelujah"- fantastic singing, such control, and a live performance (without studio cut and paste).

Elvis Costello's glorious Veronica

Not just good... simply mind altering.

YouTube - Fiona Apple, Elvis Costello - "I Want You"

This has been wowing me for some time too...

YouTube - Fiona Apple - After You've Gone

Hello! I joined your forum because it seems to be reach in information and that's exactly what I need now.
I'm searching for a video. It was presented on Romanian television about 2 or 3 years ago but it hasn't become very popular so I haven't heard it again. Here is all I can tell you about that video:

The singer was a man about 45. He was riding a bike on a country road and singing in English but he isn't an English/American native (his accent is a little strange).
The verses were very poetical and also a little philosophic. He was saying something like :" I can feel you... in every thing..." - but I'm not sure about these words.
As he was riding the bike and singing, he passed between some trees and looked at their branches. Then he passed next to a young woman who was walking in the same direction. They smiled at each other and then he passed away. :commute:
The music was slow but not very.
I think the singer rode his bike all the time in that video.

I love that song. I have it in my mind and want so much to find and listen it again. :love:
If there is anybody who knows who is the singer/ name of the song, please help me with some information.

Thanks
:love:
