This was my favourite Summer album as a wee nipper and I'd dance around the living room to it! Graceland can just automatically pick me up with its wonderful joyousness. I know that it caused a lot of controversy at the timne of release, but I think think that Paul Simon's decision to use South African musicians paid off in the long-term and hopefully introduced lots of people to some wonderful music, starting with the album itself!
There is only 81 songs, all by a favorite singer of mine on my ipod. I am going to recite the poem In Flanders Fields in my classroom, and I happened to found this on Youtube. May their souls rest in peace.
Thanks Tues, a very beautiful version, I have never heard the poem sung before. I have always thought thhe poem so lovely and perfect in it's simple truth.
Wow whatcha been doing, Lady T? Thanks for checking it out and I am glad you enjoyed this song too Lady True I thought this ethereal version was sung by some choirgirls and choirboys, so beautiful. I agree with you, and it is a perfect tribute to those soldiers who died at that young ages. Sounds stupid but I want to introduce this poem as well as the song to my classmates when sharing my points of view on war with them. By the way, do you have any plans for the Remembrance Day this year?
I listen Skillet, like it much lately, they have some really dark (well mostly a little dark) but also negative songs but also a lot of positive one's even if it might not look like that in the first facet!:)
I actually listenend them before realising it and then too liked the song I yesterday discovered it was a song from them (but this is a bad dark one)
And then here is the first song I listenend realising who they are and wich song I think is one of the best, a dark but positive love song:

Considering a show I have been watching for a few good years ended on Sunday I am sad to see it go. I've been listening to this quite a lot over the past couple of days.
I like the Dexter one Enzo! Has this ominous tune to it. >:3
The other one is very peacefull, but less my kind of thing.
I have been really into this song:
(It is pretty cool to watch with video but I warn it has very explicit and gorey images, not too bad but in case you're young (at least if there would be someone very young here xD) or really sensitive to such things rather don't watch)
But right now I'm even more into this song it is amazing and I LOVE it.
ALSO WARNING the video is very creepy, the way they shake their heads even makes me kind of creeped out, but they're a good band. (There are more scary things including blood)
