Music, post it up

I've been out of touch again
From all that's happening around you
I've become a different man
Can't seem to stand still

It was all a big mistake
Once we were partners in crime
We went off our separate ways
Never performing in time, in time

CHORUS
Imagining (all the lies you were told)
Imagining (they were true, you withold)
Imagining (is it real, or a myth?)
Imagining (in the world that we live)

You were still dependent on
Lovers on your terms, your terms
Could you entertain again?
Could you be losing your freedom, freedom?

CHORUS

Imagining
Imagining
Imagining
Imagining
Imagining
Imagining
Imagining
Imagining
Imagining

The last 50 seconds is EPIC.
Thanks Steve & Steve
 
One of the best music videos EVER.

Camera work is THE BEST...1988

EPIC harmonies...then a song about saving the whales.

Over the years you have been hunted
By the men who throw harpoons
And in the long run he will kill you
Just to feed the pets we raise
Put the flowers in your vase
And make the lipstick for your face

Over the years you swam the ocean
Following feelings of your own
Now you are washed up on the shoreline
I can see your body lie
It's a shame you have to die
To put the shadow on our eye

Maybe we’ll go
Maybe we'll disappear
It's not that we don’t know
It's just that we don't want to care

Under the bridge
Over the foam
Wind on the water
Carry me home

Okay...last one from me today.

Toy Matinee...The best band that only made ONE record.

Kevin Gilbert was a great artist...I blame his demise on Sheryl Crow...she fucked all the artists involved in her breakthrough record...Tuesday whatever it was. (Tuesday Night Music Club)


Powerful lyrics on this one.
 
OKAY...one more


Try to keep up with the drumming...Carl Palmer...the only one still alive.


Has the dawn ever seen your eyes?
Have the days made you so unwise?
Realize, you are
Had you talked to the winds of time
Then you'd know how the waters rhyme
Taste of wine
How can you know where you've been?
In time you'll see the sign
And realize your sin
Will you know how the seed is sown?
All your time has been overgrown
Never known
Have you walked on the stones of years?
When you speak, is it you that hears?
Are your ears full?
You can't hear anything at all
The preacher said a prayer
Save every single hair on his head
He's dead
The minister of hate had just arrived too late to be spared
Who cared?
The weaver in the web that he made
The pilgrim wandered in
Commiting every sin that he could
So good
The cardinal of grief was set in his belief he'd saved
From the grave
The weaver in the web that he made
The high priest took a blade
To bless the ones that prayed
And all obeyed
The messenger of fear is slowly growing, nearer to the time
A sign
The weaver in the web that he made
A bishops rings a bell
A cloak of darkness fell across the ground
Without a sound
The silent choir sing and in their silence
Bring jaded sound, harmonic ground
The weaver in the web that he made
Clear the battlefield and let me see
All the profit from our victory
You talk of freedom, starving children fall
Are you deaf when you hear the season's call?
Were you there to watch the earth be scorched?
Did you stand beside the spectral torch?
Know the leaves of sorrow turned their face
Scattered on the ashes of disgrace
Every blade is sharp; the arrows fly
Where the victims of your armies lie
Where the blades of brass and arrows reign
Then there will be no sorrow
Be no pain

I loved this album...


On the talk back show
On the radio
At the local bar
In the hot traffic by the red tail lights
Everybody's down on their knees
Listen like thieves
But who needs that
When it's all in your hands?
And we take it down
To the end of town
Where they have control
But they're losing touch when the lights go out
Everybody's down on their knees
Listen like thieves
But who needs that
When it's all in your hands?
Everybody's down on their knees
Listen like thieves for the answers
But who needs that
When you got it all in your hands
It's all in your hands
It's all in your hands
You are all you need
You are all you need
And that is everything
So don't hesitate
There's no time to waste
You just, just do it for yourself
I said everybody's down on their knees
Listen like thieves
But who needs that
When it's all in your hands
You got it all
You got it all
It's all in your hands
You got it all, you got it all
I said everybody's down on their knees
Listen like thieves
But who needs that
When it's all in your hands


Funny story...I was in Ventura...I imagined that the entire town was waiting for me to start moving LARGE amounts of cocaine.
It was all coming together...I had the connection, and workers for folding bindles and such...but then there was the mental breakdown...MINE.
I was even committed to mental health for about 2 weeks...locked down...I never made those millions that were promised.
1984...very interesting part of my life.

I really should write a book.

Human Radio...title of the LP was Human Radio...released in 1990...35 years ago.
1990 was the beginning of the end of music that was worth listening to.
The band hailed from Memphis...yeah, Tennessee...produced and recorded by David Kahne and David Leonard...mixed by Leonard...
They had a minor hit with Me and Elvis...but Ross Rice, the brains behind the band...who wrote most of the songs...that's the words...wasn't happy that the entire record was way better than THAT song...and I totally agree with him. The Elvis song is fun...but musically weak.
Ross plays Keyboards, Acoustic Guitar, and SINGS. There are 4 other guys...A quintet.
Nearly every song is good to great...
Their sophmore album came out in 2016...cause...you know 26 years between records is the new normal.




You could give me lots of reasons
To walk right out of here
Or you could beg me to stay
But I know you're gonna disappear
You could smile and say nothing
Enjoy the challenge of your secrecy
'Cause you can have another lover baby
Just don't let it get back to me

[Chorus]
'Cause when I can't feel a thing
I feel alright
And when I don't like what I see
I turn out the light
'Cause I don't wanna know

Last night I walked right by a homeless man
My eyes stared into space
'Cause even if I gave him everything I had
I couldn't make his world a better place
This great green world
Where there's enough for all
Don't tell me starvation is too much to handle
They tell me reach out and change the world
And I reach out
I reach out and change the channel

'Cause when I can't feel a thing
I feel alright
And when I don't like what I see
I turn out the light

'Cause I don't wanna know what's going on
I don't wanna know what's going on
I don't wanna know what's going on
What's going on, what's going on
I don't wanna know

[Violin Solo]

I don't wanna know what's going on
I don't wanna know what's going on
I don't wanna know what's going on (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I don't wanna, I don't wanna know what's going
I don't wanna know what's going on
I don't wanna know what's going on
I don't wanna know what's going on
What's going on, what's going on

I don't wanna know
I don't want to know
Oh, don't tell me
'Cause I don't want to know
Oh, oh
Don't tell me

Okay...LAST one...

Orson Welles volunteered to do the voiceover...
This was Alan and Eric's first record.

Alan Parson's was the ENGINEER of DSOTM.
He also worked on the Beatles last record...as an employee of Abbey Road.

There's lots more interesting shit about The Alan Parson's Project...

First...watch this...

Then...
Orson Welles (born May 6, 1915, Kenosha, Wisconsin, U.S.—died October 10, 1985, Los Angeles, California) was an American motion-picture actor, director, producer, and writer. His innovative narrative techniques and use of photography, dramatic lighting, and music to further the dramatic line and to create mood made his Citizen Kane (1941)—which he wrote, directed, produced, and acted in—one of the most-influential films in the history of the art.

"For my own part...
I have never had a thought which I could not set down in words, with even more distinctness than that with which I conceived it.
There is, however, a class of fancies,
of exquisite delicacy, which are not thoughts, and to which, as yet,
I have found it absolutely impossible to adapt to language
These fancies arise in the soul (alas, how rarely!)
only at epochs of most intense tranquillity —
when the bodily and mental health are in perfection —
and at those mere points of time where the confines of the waking world blend with the world of dreams...
And so I captured this fancy, where all that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.”

The original album was released in 1976...The remixed with Orson Welles...And rerecorded guitar...and other Parson's tricks was RE-released in 1985.
The APP was considered ART ROCK...which is just another way of saying Progressive.
According to this.

www.britannica.com

Art rock | Genres, Influences & History | Britannica

Art rock, eclectic branch of rock music that emerged in the late 1960s and flourished in the early to mid-1970s. The term is sometimes used synonymously with progressive rock, but the latter is best used to describe “intellectual” album-oriented rock by such British bands as Genesis, King Crimson,

Makes me think of dittos jeans, big hair, rabbit purses, and baretraps... what a time it was. :teeth
 
Ok, along the "Progressive, Alternate, Techno" path from the '70's there:
.
Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells (Pt. I - 1973)
.
Jean Michel Jarre — Oxygene (1976/Full album)
.
And put your headphones on and turn it up!
