Just found this song on Youtube, a song for all the ladies, who have elegent and aristocraNIC temperament!
This song is adapted from a famous poetry written by Li Qingzhào, a pioneer poet of Subtle Faction, I'm always at a loss and wondering what is the best words with which to express how i feel about her poetry when I read them...

So beautiful ...............she has a sublime sound........i too feel it to be angelic and delicately exqisite ....it alsofeels like a very magical high energy, gently powerful ad effortlessly yet deeply evocative. thank you Tues, i will now be sure to have the most surrendered sleep tonight, with the most wonder-filled dreams!
the moon(light) overflow her medieval boudoir before going down to the west,all sorts of feelings welling up and driving her to the point of insanity, it's still a long sleepless night pass with gloomy. the intense pain can only be briefly cured by a languishing letter from her sweetie, as "no herb will cure love"
I love the translation, Tues, it is so sad and beautiful. It is probably hard to translate something like that, written so many years ago. Do you have a link to her other poems?
These are some great pieces, and it is so nice to kow what other castle dwellers enjoy listening to! Thanks for sharing.
You have really diverse tastes, Florian, it's very interesting. Some I have never heard of, and some I really love too. I am going to listen to all of them but I have a feeling it would be better to wait till tomorrow to play some of them! In the meantime, listening to Frank made me very happy.
I have never heard the Barbara Acklin, Gina, I love it, that bluesy soul sound. Moonlight Sonata is one of my favourites too, it has a special meaning for me.
I like listening to all kinds of music too. I never could get into heavy metal though. Don't really understand it, I guess.
This is totally different, but got kind of a Tom Jones theme here. I love this version of Black Betty:
And this one has been covered by many, including Tom Jones, but I dig this Etta James version, the woman's version! You can imagine whomever you'd like to leave their hat on.

I am really vibing with you Lady T!!! LOL!!!!! I am loving the "Black Betty" choice! Both versions are very soulful!
I agree with you on the heavy metal. Most heavy metal can be extreme and over the top which is why I am selective with my heavy metal choices. You definitely have to, say, acquire a taste for banger music.
Oh, and Etta James, a true living legend. She's been through so much. I love her music! My favorite Etta song is probably everybody's favorite!
At Last - Etta James
