What Song Do You Like or Are You Listening Too?

Quite so. In Maths, you should start at the age of 5 or 6 - no kid of that age understands anything of all it's about. Mozart's father kicked his son, thus a star was born - it does take some force, not necessarily our present mode of soft upbringing.

We're going off topic, we need to start a new one, if interested. But at its best, this is a great place:



To add, a certain community has been exposed in FIFA World Cup 2014. We're nasty, aren't we, but perhaps we can live together?
 
Are you referring to racism in soccer/football? FIFA trying their best to control that. We have come a far way as a people but still have a way to go.

Sorry if I was unclear. But no, I don't refer to racism - or well, I do, I also mean all other prejudices; the community I meant is the community of entity, goes from worms to men. To live in harmony, that would be the true science fiction.
 
A few halcyon tunes:



This 'was' the sound of the suburbs circa 1979... I remember buying this and thinking Punk rock was here to stay... Oh if i only knew.. Still... Some great times..:


Couldn't resist:

Don't know if it's a syndrome of "Grandpa going crazy", but here's one of my everlasting classics:



Gosh. And do I love my grandson - figure.
 
I didn't really like Sid Vicious, he was a sad manipulated figure of Maclarens imagination IMO although I loved the album 'Never mind the Bollocks, here's the Sex Pistols'. I remember taking it to the school club one evening and the teachers faces were such a picture...
How innocent we all once were.. lol.
 
I found this old gem. It's a true piece.

To claim to be alone?

By Hector, 1975. Translation mine. This is like Aqualung.

NΓ€itkΓΆ vanhan miehen, Did you see that old man,
Joka kÀrryjÀnsÀ tyântÀÀ. Pushing his cart.
Niihin kamaa haalii, Hauling stuff,
MikÀ muilta yli jÀÀ. Leftover from others,
SilmissÀÀn vain menneisyyttÀ, Eyes with only past,
Sodat, joihin joutui syyttΓ€. Wars without his own blame,
Eilisiin lehtiin valheet eiliset jÀÀ. Yesterday's papers with yesterday's lies remain.

KertosΓ€e: chorus:
Niin kuinka siis voit edes vÀittÀÀ So how can you even claim
SΓ€ ettΓ€ yksinΓ€inen oot. To be alone.
Jos halki kaupunkimme kuljet If walk through our city
Ilman ettΓ€ silmΓ€t suljet, Not closing your eyes,
Huomaat, ettÀ sentÀÀn You'll see that almost
LΓ€hes onnellinen oot. You're almost happy.

Ootko nΓ€hnyt miehen, Have you seen the man,
Joka toista miestΓ€ etsii. Looking for another.
Seuraasi hΓ€n tahtoo, He wants to meet you,
HΓ€ntΓ€ katsot inhoten. You look with despise.
On silmissÀÀn vain pelokkuutta Eyes of him only fear,
Arkaa rakkaudettomuutta, Tender lovelesness,
YmmΓ€rrystΓ€ hieman Understanding a bit
HÀn pyytÀÀ vaieten. He asks quitely.

KertosΓ€e chorus

Ootko nΓ€hnyt naisen, Have you seen the woman,
Joka ruumiinsa on myynyt. Who sold her body.
HΓ€n asemalla seisoo She stands at the station
TyhjÀ sydÀn kÀdessÀÀn. With empty heart in her hand.
Autiot on silmΓ€t nΓ€mΓ€, Desolate are eyes her,
Hymy tuskan jΓ€hmettΓ€mΓ€. Smile stiffed by pain.
HΓ€n ei edes muistaa voi, She can't even remember,
Kuinka itketÀÀn. How to cry.

KertosΓ€e chorus

Ootko nΓ€hnyt pojan Have you seen the boy
Alta kahdentoista vuoden Less than twelve
Jossain hourailevan Raving somewhere
Joku pullo kÀdessÀÀn. With a bottle in his hand.
Tinneri tai alkoholi, Thinner or alcohol,
MissΓ€ isΓ€, Γ€iti oli, Where dad, mam was,
Kun lapsi ΓΆisin herΓ€s When kid woke up in the night
MÀrkÀÀn, pimeÀÀn To wet, dark

Niin kuinka siis voit edes vÀittÀÀ So how can you even claim
SΓ€ ettΓ€ yksinΓ€inen oot. You are alone.
Jos kuljet kanssain halki slummin, Walk with me through the slum,
Puhut ehkΓ€ harkitummin, You may talk more reason,
Huomaat, ettÀ sentÀÀn You'll see you are almost
LΓ€hes onnellinen oot. You are almost happy.
 
while i enjoy everything from flamenco to classical to rock (except rap) … thomas-feiner has been topping my list for past several years.

among feiner's memorable etudes (e.g. dinah, siren, postcard, bested-bones) … my favorite would probably be "for now" … veritably, thought provoking.
