Numero 13 and 14 to be decided tonight..... I think for no.13 its time for another bit of [adopts Barry White voice again] lurve..... The lead singer's range is just incredible on this track. There is a beautiful choral accompaniment toward the end of the song too. Ah.... happy memories too.

No idea what the picture has to do with the song but it came up on google when I put the song title in so that's good enough for me

The next track is really difficult. There are two contenders for this slot and I have to make the decision knowing the 'loser' probably won't make the 50

. That loser is the brilliant Beginning and the End (OMD). It's so beautiful I am going to put the link in anyway

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCLZiooXbxA

After much thought, this wonderfully dreamy track, with male and female singers, a glockenspielly type thing running through it, and a wonderfully melancholy wood wind sound of some description, just gets the nod.

Maybe you reached your limit in songs?

At least with my preference, I can make music with my choices . . .

Play this puppy, compliments of a Memphis sound

CLARENCE "GATEMOUTH BROWN - BAD WEEK FOR OL' FIDDLERS

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_PqKdNh-MY

moro played most every show
everything west of typico
playing his fiddle to his son's banjo
teaching him everything that he knows

taking the lead on
his son been stealing the show
so now he's thinking of giving up the fiddle
and taking up his son's banjo

all through the bayou down to the gulf
things are getting hard things are things are getting rough

all the kids fast growing up
it's bad week for old fiddlers

morning still in abbyville awaiting the crawfish festiville

cats are eating the gumbo spills
waiting to hear the fiddlers bill
someone said old moro died
and his son's a one man show
wondering if he's gonna play father's fiddle or pick up his own banjo

fiddlers came from miles around
come to make their fiddling sound
eating some gumbo and drink some beer
raise some hell for heav' to hear
moro son on flat bed truck
really to start the show
and the evening crowd clap real old
for the son of old moro

For my next track I am going to echo what Shunwick said above. Music plays to all the emotions and feelings and fun should be part of that. My next track isn't even on my ipod. Sadly in the PC world it probably can't be sold now.

But the lyrics are incredibly clever, the music is superbly put together and the video is fun! Heil-heil-ziggedy-heil!!

For my next track I am going to choose another piece of music I don't even own

. The incredible soundtrack to this film was never released, and the tapes are apparently no longer viable. It is considered uneconomical to re-record the pieces

This piece of music simply kicks one in the guts. I remember watching this film as a boy and crying my eyes out at the closing scene. It still has the same effect after all these years

No.16 Closing Scene from Operation Daybreak (Hentschel)
(Music starts at around 2:10 - get those hankies at the ready.....

Sibelius Symphony Nr 4 - Esa Pekka Salonen
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCrGKQgFzDU
I love all of Sibelius orchestral works. The 4th symphony is a particularly dark piece, but so beautiful.

Chopin: 12 Etudes, Op.10 - No. 4 - Ashkenazy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXwmCxQi1bw
The Chopin etudes are mainly virtuoso pieces. They are designed to address various aspects of advanced piano technique, but are also musically rich. This is one of my favorites from this superb Ashkenazy disc.

Daphnis et Chloe by Ravel (sunrise) - Montreal sympony orchestra/Dutoit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uDiT3uBDQU
This is basically musical porn

The Decca engineers did a great job on the sound. It was one of the earliest digital recordings if I remember right.

Lori Lieberman - Killing Me Softly

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e15EoYeo9ms

Lori Lieberman's homage to Don McLean. It was not a huge hit for Lieberman. Roberta Flack covered the song a couple of years later. They even removed Lori's name from the writing credits.

Best wishes,
Steve

Nielsen Symphony No.2 - San Francisco Symphony/Blomstedt
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tfn1S_XXJVs
Nielsen is becoming more widely recognised as one of the great composers and I hope that trend continues. The 2nd symphony is my favorite.

Prokofiev violin concerto no1 - Lisa Batiashvili
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Cvsq1IoAOo
Love this concerto. Sweet tone from Batiashvili.

Richard Strauss - Eine Alpensinfonie - Staatskapelle Dresden/Kempe
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJYMdiB6fME
R Strauss is a bit of an acquired taste. Someone once said of Wagner's music that "It has some beautiful moments but terrible quarter-hours", well I feel that Strauss has beautiful quarter-hours and terrible moments. I love him though so I forgive his faults of which there are many. The start of this symphony has a terrible three and a half minutes, but it's done deliberatly to represent the murk of night and add contrast to the sunrise which follows. One of my favorite moments in music.

As with Abba, so I face similar agonies of choice with other artists

I will look at Blutengel and Arcade Fire next. Same rules apply, I have to assume that only one track from each will make it to the 50.

So for those happy go lucky German songsters there is a choice between Silent Death or Silent Tears.... What the hell, this is impossible. I will put them both in and perhaps have to take one out later.

Absolutely no idea what this is about - as its sung in German, but the English title probably gives a hint, and its fairly safe to say its not about a jolly holiday with Mary.....

No.17 Silent Death (Blutengel)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rN7WBGqHmSw

This track is just.... Beautiful voice, desperately tragic lyrics, and just a beautiful piece of music with an instrument that comes in at around 2:48 that takes a sad track into another level of darkness... wow

No.18 Silent Tears (Blutengel)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugFKARtzByU

The albums these are from is not the one below, I just happen to like it....
