I can't avoid hearing The Cure's "Lovesong" in this for some reason. Possibly just me!

I like this, never heard before, and I hear Cat Stevens, and thinking of Harold And Maude.

There is a better sound from a cat with a hairball! Play Something Different/Good.

Cynaera passed away February 6, 2012, at University of Utah Medical Center, at age 55 due to a subdural hematoma, which required surgery. She was put on life support, but after three days without signs of improvement, her family made the difficult decision to discontinue life support and donate her organs on the 6th.

God, RP has filled me up with so much new sublime music today.
I am grateful.
Filled, fulfilled, enriched, renewed.
Never bought so many tracks in one day.
A continuous winning streak of delightful melody and revelation.

More like The Good, the Bad and the Grits (or polenta, if you like).

Sometimes I wonder if you have an ounce of tact in your entire body.  This was a beautiful song, but your asinine comment about the donkey was uncalled-for, in my opinion.  I hope you don't own any pets, because chances are, if one of them were to upset your musical balance, you'd prolly shoot it.  Have a nice day.

For real, the PLO once tied a bomb to a donkey and sent it on a suicide mission to go and kill civilians.   PETA had no comment about the act of terrorism, but it did send a letter to Arafat complaining about the treatment of the donkey.  True story.

This song sounds like a couple of the tracks from the soundtrack to Ico (PS2/PS3 video game)

Now THAT is a bad use of Photoshop!!!! I feel sorry for the guy in the back row, second from the right, because of what the retoucher did to his head. Then there's the awful use of the Drop Shadow on everyone. Did Stephen Winslow really want his name credited to this? hahahahahaha

Very nice song, though.

 
Maybe that guys head is just shaped like that.  Wouldn't you feel like a jerk then?

I was with you until the end...  It also has a nice Western movie type sound to it. 

I happen to like animals and this song.

I agree. Will you buy my house down here in the Bible Belt? I want to move there. You could turn it into a nude dancing club. That would piss off the Fundies around here. Heehee.

It sounds a lot like the Beatles' "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". Perhaps no accident that it comes right after "A Day In The Life", then?

Written by John Goodin. He plays mandolin and guitar for a unique contra dance band, Contratopia. You can hear clips of their version of this on their website. You can read more about MMS (and order CDs) here.

Yeah, like the Grateful Dawg's version of Sitting Here In Limbo with mandolin... or some Mike Marshall/YoYoMa collaborative thing...
Posted 19 years ago by radiomao    [ Reply ]
How lovely, the mandolin is always a nice change of pace, melody is sort of maudlin though...like a poor man's Loreena McKennit. Segue into Nickel Creek? Grisman?
Posted 19 years ago by ashbyman    [ Reply ]
lovely. merci.
Posted 19 years ago by djeneba    [ Reply ]
If this is to your liking- check out David Grisman Quartet, or the Modern Mandolin Quartet- all awesome playing, and with the layering of the mandolin-family instruments, a wonderful sonic painting!
