"gloryland" Daryl hall and the sounds of blackness




World cup 1994 theme. I just moved from USA>UK. It was hard. Football saved me. I love it and made a ton of friends playing it in the summer of 1994. (I moved around march 1994). Song is awesome (is ironically american).

Very uplifting stuff. ITV used the sax remix as the theme to the show.

Stevie Wonder "Sir Duke"
Earth Wind & Fire "Fantasy"


those songs (and accompanying albums) simply directed my musical taste and main preferences into a certain direction, one that I very seldom was able to escape from smile
Vanglorious... this is protected by the red, the black, and the green. With a key... sissy!

Strawberry Fields Forever - The Beatles
Wuthering Heights - Kate Bush
Stayin' Alive - Bee Gees

First time I heard these songs I was like eek
They just really stood out as being something different and made me appreciate quality music at a very young age. I still love all three songs very much.

Kashmir - Led Zeppelin

That whole album just blew me away. This song in particular though just always sort of hypnotized me. "Oh let the sun beat down upon my face....." biggrin

Wouldn't this be the inverse of an MJ alert, given that it is the kids and not MJ that are lookng at porn?

Apoptygma Berzerk: "Paranoia", it made me rethink my habits while shaking my ass to that wonderful, god-like disco tune.

My life has been changed many times, by a long list of artists, but this one stands out big time:

"Hunter" - Bjork



After hearing this, I fell in love with her music and overall artistic wit.

and no, i'm not saying this because i'm going to see tori this week. lol hearing this song for the first time back in 1991 intro'd me to a bunch of new things and i can honestly say that no other song has ever had such reverberations.

I'm gonna say "Cooling" by Tori Amos is the most recent one to have that kind of impact on me. Music is constantly changing me, so it's a relative term. But this song literally brought me to my knees and made me see, think and feel things I never had before. Plus, it represents to me the last times I got to spend with my father while he was still alive. Truly priceless.

Stevie Wonder "Superwoman".. THAT segue into "Where Were You When I Needed You".

I think it taught me that instrumental music had just as much relevance as vocal pieces, which in effect, opened my ears to jazz (!)

It is also the song that made me really fall in love with Stevie's music.

Pretty monumental for me, and that track still sends chills.

my life changed forever in 77/78 rather than one song it was the whole uk punk movement,..... song's like,....

anarchy in the uk - sex pistols

police and thieves - the clash

roxanne - the police

all around the world - the jam

angry young men, it was reggae/rock, it was fast, it was noisy, it was furious and it was sooooo.... damn cool cool

oh n' before any smartass states the jam/police werent punks !!! they were a massive part of the movement,... 999, gen x, buzzcocks, siouxsie, ruts, undertones n' on on on on !!

this is going to sound like the biggest cliché ever...but I ow a lot to this song. It literally changed (and maybe even saved) my life. Because of this song I refound my faith and with that was able to blattle a lot of personal issues that had me going down the wrong track fast. I know this sounds stupid, but this song just got me thinking about my life and what i was doing with it.

There's a long black train
Coming down the line
Feeding off the souls that are lost and crying
Tails of sin only evil remains
Watch out brother for that long Black Train

Look to the heavens
You can look to the skies
You can find redemption
Staring back into your eyes
There is protection and there is
Peace the same burn in your ticket for that
Long Black Train

cause theres victory in the lord i say
Victory in the lord
Cling to the father and his holy name
And dont go riding on that long Black Train

Theres a engine there on that Long Black Train
Making you wonder if your ride is worth the pain
Hes just a waitin on your heart to say
Let me ride on that long black train

But u know theres victory in the lord i say
Victory in the lord
Cling to the father and his holy name
And dont go riding on that long Black Train

Well i can hear the whistle from a mile away
It sounds so good
But i must stay away
That train is a beauty making everybody stare
But its only destination is the middle of nowhere

But u know theres victory in the lord i say
Victory in the lord
Cling to the father and his holy name
And dont go riding on that long Black Train

I said cling to the father and his holy name
And dont go ridin on that black train
Yes watch out brother for that long black train
The devils a ridin that long black train.
It was not in vain...it was in Minneapolis!
