My Dearest Thai-Musick Lovers,

 

Everyday in my village, it’s the same old, same old, Thai Song. Why cannot they mix things up a bit? After years of the same tune, I’m feeling a bit in a rut.

 

Personally, I love to hear BOTH Chinese and Thai classical music performed on classical instruments such as the ERHU, or SANHU, particularly…

 

 

WHY O WHY, cannot they just play this?  I LOVE the erhu!!!...

 

But, if it cannot be beautiful, what they play everyday, blasting around the village, then what might be the best change of pace for those here who lack the cultural class to understand beautiful Thai and Chinese music?

 

Well then, my Best SINGLE Suggestion might be this song, just so that I don’t forget how important time truly is, and especially the PASSING OF TIME….THE NALIKA SONG...

 

Still, as I say, IF I could listen to a daily dose of the erhu, as played in the first UTUBE video selection above, then I could stay here, happily, until kingdom come….

 

I have heard a lot of great Thai music, and I’m very curious to know what your suggestions might be… (one per customer, please).

 

Musically yours,

And, forever….

Glob

 

Note: Please note that the Chinese erhu is my favorite Chinese instrument, and I will not tolerate even one word said against it. (I have been listening to Chinese classical music since about….well…around 1973, when I first started to learn Mandarin, and also began drinking Chinese tea, for that matter.)

 

Note2:  Just out of further curiosity, how LOUD does your village play its LOUDSPEAKER Music?

I think someone has sabotaged the huge speakers in our area, wish I knew who it was, I would buy them a beer..................

 

Here on the edge of Prasat south Surin when we first moved here in 2017 the village used to play Isaan music every morning at 0600.  Sweet melodies romantic laments My heart is broken I cannot breathe My tears will drown me if you leave me. My boy would laugh as he translated and crooned along.

 

It was something I looked forward to every morning. About 10 minutes of beautiful music before the announcements of the day.

 

Now nothing. Not even announcements. I guess some falang complained or the locals just got bored after 30 years when the electric arrived.

This would wake the village up! lol

 

 

 

Calming, no lyrics

That would be...DYNAMITE...for our village.

I could so easily accept this for my neighborhood.

 

(A bit, Twilight-zonish, for some here, I imagine.  But, I could really DIG this every day!!! No doubt!)

Such an improvement to what we have here!

 

I should really talk to the village headwoman about using this.

WHY do I NOT hear great music like this more often?

 

The garbage they play at the Musick Festivals is, by comparison...FOR THE BIRDS!

 

Comparatively....THIS....is....Pure Bliss!!!

I heard this song on my very first visit to Thailand. It was the current hit at that time, has stuck in my mind ever since.

Not a good version of monrak luktung though, from the film of the same name 1970, one of the most successful Thai films ever, re made, as well as on TV several times. Got does a good version. This looks like the soundtrack from one of the remakes

Sorry, I thought the Palmy Clock song had been referred to by the previous commenter, and I was responding accordingly.

Luktung Issan, very famous, 25 years old I think, Siriporn Ampaipong recorded it as well. Depicts Issan girl going to the big city only to be disappointed and going back home, many can relate to that.

I think you mean the Tick Tock song by Palmy. Just for you.

 

 

Wake the buggers up with this, the one and only Lamyai
