Appropriate Music To Reflect On These Sad Times.

[tigerfish]

so as the topic heading states and its totally up to you on whether you wish to contribute or not.

always loved my music, and sometimes it can say a hel_l of a lot more in the short time its played, than most polititians, preachers, army spokesman, etc...... can ever do.

the chance to communicate through the most basic of means are often forgotten about and fall by the wayside in times like these, but to use a voice, an image within a song can be a powerful tool!

anyway here goes, no prizes for guessing what i have chosen to kick this thread off.

Listen to Daniel Merriweather's "Red".

I find the song appropriately describes what have been happening.

"You took something perfect

And painted it red...

No sympathy

When shouting out is all you know

Behind your lies

I can see the secrets you don't show

We don't know how you're spending

All of your days

Knowing that love isn't here

You see the pictures

But you don't know their names

Cause love isn't here.."

Genesis - Land of confusion

Billy Joel - We didn't start the fire

Phil Collins - We wait and we wonder

The Prodigy - Firestarter

Rage Against the Machine - Killing in the Name

Fools' Overture by Supertramp.

"Too late," the prophets cry

So goodnight.

Here's an old favourite. I was here when it became a hit, and banned. But all the bars etc played it anyway.
