Naïve Old Fart 9,527 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 There's nothing wrong with ON THE SILENT WINGS OF FREEDOM, Alex! But, yes, I tend to gravitate to the less well-known, more esoteric work by artists. I'm not sure why, I just find failure more fascinating then success. Also, I don't like being "one of the crowd" (right, Mel? ). A NIGHT AT THE OPERA? Nah! Give me HOT SPACE, any day. SO? Give me SECURITY. INVISIBLE TOUCH? Give me "abacab". RUMOURS? Fuck that, I want TUSK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just restored this italian version of "Noëls d'autrefois" (Christmases past). Link to the song in Soundcloud Bespin, there's an interview with Aznavour on TV right now! He says "I don't write about 'I love you'. I write about 'To love'. That's a big difference .. Bespin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melange 446 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I'd forgotten just how damn good this song was. Brings me back to my tweens this one, and memories of a school friend who moved to New Zealand and we lost contact. We used to love that album (Graceland) Naïve Old Fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,527 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Way to go, Mel! This is my favourite Paul Simon song...ever. The second is LATE IN THE EVENING. Melange 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karelm 2,913 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I can't get this out of my head: This song has everything in it that makes U2 great...awesome The Edge contributions with a catchy hook, deep and complicated lyrics, great structure. This song is about Bono's love/hate relationship with his dysfunctional alcoholic dad who was abusive and left when he was 14. Bono wrote the song after his dad died but he is actually saying even though he hated his dad, he really did love him. Bono sings: " I know that we don't talk. I'm sick of it all. Can you hear ME WHEN I...SIIIIIIIIINNNNNGGGGG, you're the reason I SING! You're the reason why the opera is in me." His dad loved Italian opera like Puccini and Bono acknowledges this love of opera was passed into him and U2. Even though he hated his violent dad, "We fight all the time You and I, that's alright We're the same soul I don't need, I don't need to hear you say That if we weren't so alike You'd like me a whole lot more Listen to me now I need to let you know You don't have to go it alone And it's you when I look in the mirror And it's you when I don't pick up the phone Sometimes you can't make it on your own" I love, love this song. Bono turned out to be a great father to his kids unlike his own family experience and has a very deep social responsibility that is so inspiring to see in a rock star. I freaking love Bono.

Naïve Old Fart 9,527 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Wrong, as usual. There are several men "behind" U2, including Steve Lillywhite, Daniel Lanois, Kevin Killen, Jimmy Iovine, Anton Corbijn, and not forgetting Paul McGuiness.
