Fall From The Stars Straight Into Your Arse

You dat oldz, brah? Yeah, I remember Simply Red, and this was a GREAT 1980s song (from 1991)… Mick Hucknall had a great voice.

Save a Wretch from Debasement

Soom T … an Indian girl grows up in Scotland? I dig it.

Adia

There’s a great scene in Beau Travail where the Legionnaires are in a Djibouti nightclub and Oliver N’Goma’s classic song Adia is playing … I did not know that this is a song that is traditionally played at weddings in Africa, but YouTube is filled with videos of them … I enjoyed watching this one:

Här Är Ingenting

Dina Ögon with Tomma lådor, I dig it:

To Chloris

Youn has a great touch… love the pacing.

Chloris was a Nymph associated with spring, flowers and new growth, believed to have dwelt in the Elysian Fields. Roman authors equated her with the goddess Flora, suggesting that the initial sound of her name may have got altered by Latin speakers (a popular etymology). Myths had it that she was abducted by (and later married) Zephyrus, the god of the west wind. She was also thought to have been responsible for the transformations of Adonis, Attis, Crocus, Hyacinthus and Narcissus into flowers.

S'il est vrai, Chloris, que tu m'aimes,
Mais j'entends, que tu m'aimes bien,
Je ne crois point que les rois mêmes
Aient un bonheur pareil au mien.
Que la mort serait importune
De venir changer ma fortune
A la félicité des cieux!
Tout ce qu'on dit de l'ambroisie
Ne touche point ma fantaisie
Au prix des grâces de tes yeux.

A Lover Unlike No Other

Great cover of an Everly Brothers’ song by Cyrille Aimée:

J.E. Sunde's Blind Curve

I really dig this song… if I got any of the lyrics wrong, let me know.

UPDATE: I emailed J.E. Sunde and he was kind enough to send some corrections. What a guy!

It's hard to feel unnoticed

When my work requires

That I find a stage in a dark room

To tell some strangers all my secrets

Cuz I feel a strange transcendence

When I get some words to rhyme

And I don't understand the purpose

But it makes my father smile

So I am betting on a blind curve

I'm betting on a blind curve

I'm betting on a blind curve

I can't see what's to come

I thought it'd be more certain

Than life has proved to be

But if love still runs the game

Then love is proof enough for me

To keep on calling all my friends

In the struggle and the doubt

You need not die to make it holy

We’ll just try to sing about it

Cuz we're betting on a blind curve

We’re betting on a blind curve

I'm betting on a blind curve

I can't see what's to come

I'm betting on a blind curve

I'm betting on a blind curve

I'm betting on a blind curve

I can't see what's to come

Bembeya Jazz National - Petit Sékou

How could you not dig this? I’m blown away…

That’s Where I Went Wrong

The great song by Susan Jacks and the Poppy Family:

Mơ Xuân

This one’s for all the ethnic Chinese Vietnamese in my Discord room, Saigon Soul Revival’s Mơ Xuân:
