    Inspiration Motivation in Music

    Thanks Hippie. "What's The Matter Here" is on of my favorite songs. I love 10000 Maniacs because their songs are so topical. They tackled it all. Child abuse, teen pregnancy, illiteracy, alcoholism, etc.
    Never heard of "All about Eve" or "The Sundays" but liked them both a lot. Will have to look for their cds.

    I love the tune "Protection". This is one of my favorite Tracey Thorn tunes.

    I saw this band at a little bar in Philadelphia. They have since split up but I loved the lead singers voice.

        Hippie, since you like Natalie's and Tracey's vocals you might like this band. If I can get it to work. I checked out All about Eve's "Road to Soul". Nice sound.

        I love this thread. I love being exposed to new bands/new music. There is a local band here in Philadelphia called Grey Eye Glances. Can't find them on youtube but they are in itunes. Will try and add a song of theirs. Beautiful voice on the lead singer.

        Found this link, see if it works.

              Ripple, this website has music you can download for $0.10 and an album for $1.99. They have Silverchair's "Straight Lines" if you can't burn it from here.

                I'm so glad you brought Cousteau to my attention again cuckoo. I remember hearing them a while back in the music band association thread but I forgot to add the video to my youtube playlists. Tell me? Who do you think his voice sounds like? I can't think of the guy's name but I'm sure you will be able to confirm the missing link in my head.

                Ah cucks me dearest!! For the first time YET I think we'll have to agree to disagree on our musical choices. I was a massive Jam fan and I also liked Paul Weller's transgression into The Style Council (even though he is quoted as saying he hated it!!). The Paris Match was on the B-side to "Long Hot Summer" which I can still to this day remember buying while on holiday with my folks out in Wales. I didn't even have a record player in the caravan we were staying in but I had to still buy it on the release date. That's how fanatical I was about Paul Weller. So unfortunately Tracy does not get good reviews for that cover version from this hippie!!!

                I also think I need to hear a bit more than a 30 second snippet from Grey Eye Glances. It's not one of those voices that jumps out at you straight away and has it's own uniqueness. I'll try Amazon and if not Limewire where I download all my music (mp3's) from for free.

                Right back to The Style Council and here's that great summer tune from them Long Hot Summer!!

                It's really starting to piss me off all these youtube vids that are completely out of sync!!

                Ah Well!!

                The Jam playing A Town Called Malice on their final tour in 1982. I was 12 at this time and I went to see them in Liverpool on this their final tour. It was my first ever live gig!! I had to sit in the balcony seats at the venue because I was too small to stand up with the rest of the crowd.

                And finally My favourite Paul Weller tune is '1 x 1' an album song so this is not an official video. This song was playing in my brother's car back from the hospital where I had just spent the last 16 or so hours watch my dad slowly die after his life support had been turned off. None of us could talk as we were all worn out and still in 'realisation' mode that we would never see him again.

                Not one of the strongest vocalists is our Paul but he's still known affectionately as The Modfather.

                Share your dreams
                Give us all the beam we need
                Like electric light
                In a ballroom scene
                Going one x one

                Shed your chains
                To earth like dew and all remain
                Forever in another vein
                As you slip into another dream

                Don't fear not
                Not where you tread
                Fear only- the lies you're fed

                Head that sign
                For all of us who wait in line
                Waiting for the words to rhyme
                Bringing on a brand new day

                Don't fear not
                Not where you tread
                Fear only- the lies you're fed

                So dance little dancer
                Like you've never danced before
                It's just a moment
                We're going through
                This is the new dance that we do
                So sing little brother
                And turn on everyone
                Lift are spirits high
                To a place we need to find

                Share your dreams
                Give us all the beam we need
                Like electric light
                In a ballroom scene
                Going one x one

                Shed your chains
                To earth like dew and all remain
                Forever in another vein
                Going on one x one

                Right, sentimental old bugger that I am, I'll wipe a tear from me face :boohoo:and say good evening all. C U ALL later!!

                Love and Happiness

                    cucks here's a song that reminds me slightly of The Lead singer's vocal style in Cousteau. Still it's not the one I'm thinking of though!!!

                      Ripple, glad you can use it. It isn't as user friendly as itunes but it is a lot cheaper.

                      Hippie, can't think of who's voice Liam sounds like but I do love it. I mentioned I saw them in a bar in center city Philadelphia and Liam grabbed 2 beers at the bar next to where we were sitting. I was too shy to ask for an autograph. The venue was very small and the sound was excellent. As for "The Paris Match" we can agree to respectfully disagree. This was the song that turned me on to Tracey Thorn and EBTG. I'm a big Jam, Style Council, Paul Weller fan but hadn't heard the 1X1 tune before. Very nice. It's funny how much music means to us in difficult times. My father passed away in 1987. He had been quite ill and was in the hospital for a long spell. There was a Simply Red song that was popular at the time that I would often hear on my way to and from the hospital. To this day I can't hear it without getting misty eyed. Hippie, thanks for sharing.

                      Holding back the years,
                      Thinking of the fear I've had for so long.
                      When somebody hears,
                      Listen to the fear that's gone.
                      Strangled by the wishes of pater,
                      Hoping for the arm of mater,
                      Get to me sooner or later,

                      Nothing ever could, yeah.
                      I'll keep holding on,
                      I'll keep holding on,
                      I'll keep holding on,
                      I'll keep holding on.

                      Chance for me to escape from all I know.
                      Holding back the tears.
                      There's nothing here has grown.
                      I've wasted all my tears,
                      Wasted all those years.
                      Nothing had the chance to be good,

                      Nothing ever could, yeah.
                      I'll keep holding on,

                      I'll keep holding on,
                      I'll keep holding on,
                      I'll keep holding on
                      So tight.

                        Hippie, liked Black. You're right does sound a lot like Cousteau. Will keep an eye for this group. Like the tune too.
