They say that at a certain age people cease to enjoy any form of music that arises in the years thereafter.

I say they're somewhat mistaken on this. What they say doesn't just occur where music is concerned, it is preference in general - towards everything.

People generally tend to crystallize. It's a beautiful thing. They say a gem's worth is in its time. We wouldn't have diamonds and precious stones if the very earth I walk did not heed this age old trial. Beneath the surface, under the skin, there are marvelous forces at work.

That said, I think music is one of the few things in this world transcending that very notion. Music melts the diamond and water it becomes but a very special water it will be.

Simplicity, so pure even in its utterance. It's the simple note, the little pluck here and there that becomes the immortal water.

Just for the information--- Edie Brickell teamed up with her husband and did some nice CoViD-19 Everly Brothers covers.

I'm not aware of too many things about Edie Brickell, I know what I know, if you know what I mean...

Thank you @TheBestBeer_Root and @4gotten_legend.

It is the age of the masquerade, the dawn of Melpomene and Thalia 😊. When even such earnest words douse me with the flames of Shakespeare and I am mad.

Remarks: yours, mine...

If these words are biting then they are of a vampiric nature. As cursed an ordeal that would be, there is a lingering sweetness that neither you nor I can deny.

So yet again still, thank you.

She might have plagiarized Popeye in the part of the lyric that follows.

anyone figure out what oolakako means? 

Avatar of WSama

@TheBestBeer_Root, nice. As for fangs, don't have 'em yet. I was always taught if it snarls then you should probably draw a line and stick behind it.

Thanks again for the compliments. I just enjoy words - be it a song, a story, or a thin strip on the other end of a label printer - words are fun, so long as those words aren't 'we need to talk'.

These probably walk the outer edge of folk music and are a bit sappy.... but I love them anyway:

Juice Newton -The Sweetest Thing

 

Merrilee Rush  - Angel of the Morning




Linda Ronstadt - Long Long Time

here's janis unplugged. @batgirl, if it's not folksy enough i'll remove it.

Avatar of batgirl

That she did.

Not my type of music at all, but I listened to a few. A lot of music these days is so heavily produced that it's nice to hear real voices and real instruments.

Avatar of BeeVeryCareful

Very true....😊There’s little recent music I do like, however, Alt36, 28 The Spectrum and the Coffee House do play good music IMO...David Gray, Grouplove, Missio, Silversun Pickups, The Naked and The Famous, Maren Morris, Local Natives, Alice Merton, and Joss Stone to name a few
