from Oannes Songs Of Childhood Nostalgia #1
Θα ακούσουμε μερικά τραγούδια νοσταλγίας για την παιδική ηλικία, γραμμένα από γνωστούς, ή όχι τόσο, καλλιτέχνες.
Ξεκινάμε με ένα από τα πιο αγαπημένα μου τραγούδια του Neil Young.✻
We will hear some songs of childhood nostalgia, written by well-known artists, or not very much so.
We start with one of my favorite Neil Young‘s songs.◼︎
There is a town in north Ontario,
With dream comfort memory to spare,
And in my mind
I still need a place to go,
All my changes were there.Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Leave usHelpless, helpless, helpless
Baby can you hear me now?
The chains are locked
and tied across the door,
Baby, sing with me somehow.Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Leave usHelpless, helpless, helpless.
and a “Yellow moon on the rise” from me…

❦
Enjoy!
and
Stay Safe!

I really like Neil’s music but it seems he hasn’t grown with the times. He made a snide and dismissive remark about Justin Bieber on TV just when the latter was starting out, as if Bieb’s music was a joke compared to Neil’s. That’s how I interpreted it anyhow. Meanwhile, Bieber’s “You don’t need no filter” tune really speaks to me. They always radio play it when I go for late-night food shops. I think this a mature tune – https://youtu.be/zLY6VX74ulk
Anyhow… just my two bits from a fellow music lover. 🙂

Would you believe I’d never heard one Bieber song? I’ll go check the link later. My ears are always open. As for NY he writes great lyrics and has composed a few great songs too. I wouldn’t however add him to my top list. That said, I love that song! 😉

Yeah, I like a good number of his songs but it’s mostly likely a regional thing. He grew up in a small Ontario town not too far from where I live. His father was a sports writer for one of our papers… 🙂

I know, it’s very mellow for Young. I’m more used to Rock and Roll by him.

This is gonna sound kitschy, but I love the Brian Adams’ song “Have You Ever Loved a Woman” – it goes to get me in my core. First heard it in Don Juan DeMarco (before Johnny Depp became a total arse)

I really love that song. It’s very moving. I think I had already heard it before the movie. Johnny Depp… I really liked his movies ( except Pirates) but now It’s over. He’ll be crushed.

I do too – I think I did hear it before as well. I liked all his movies, including Pirates… I am so disappointed in him. 😦

The last movie I saw him I was The Ninth Gate. I had no idea he had such a volatile disposition. If what he is accused of is true it’s really shameful.
