Grrrrrrr strangle strangle

Emiliana Torrini. Thats it. Thats the girl that did Gollums song. Agree totally. What an intriging voice.

Back on the thread subject. Heres an interesting fact. Whilst Norahs debut did not get 8 grammys {Like the few albums in the world that have achieved this} her album is currnetly the highest selling solo album since the millenium. I found this in a book that was published around july 2005. So its not old info either :stunned: I found the above fact in a book that is all about all the greatest albums of all time. Thats a huge achievement for someone who has only been around 3 years.

Nothing wrong with that - why would it spark a riot? :P I'm far more concerned there appear to be people around who are obsessed with the likes of the Backdoor Boys!! :D Im more concerned with people getting lairy :lol:

I like the Kaisers

I know what you mean. The price of winning all those grammys i fear. However i choose not to be scared away by all the media hype. Still remember being down Hmv at quarter to nine waiting for the damn store to open :rolleyes: Which Diana Krall album you got Mc? I was planning on getting some of her stuff but just lately i been a bit preoccupied with a certian band. You know the one {I predict a riot} I've got the Diana Krall album which features "The Look of Love". You mean you've been preoccupied with Chris & co.?? :huh: Have you had your head down a toilet recently? Don't know what you're talking about. I've been away, if that's what you mean................................... Have you not heard of the Kaiser Chiefs? :stunned:

Hi. This is more of a song then a poem. It is also single handedly my biggest work. See what you think of it. Its quite dark. Its a song about a recurring nightmare. Father of dark Barefoot. In my shorts and pants No shoes on and the floors hot I touch the left wall I touch the right wall I hear the skin sizzle And know that I am burnt Agony immense Like a thousand thundering fires I look down into blackness And almost fall over The pain almost unbearable And so I start to run through the maze Hours later I stop and look. I been running so long Tired Hungry Lost And Alone My feet are burnt My hands are burnt I just want to go home I stumble and almost loose my footing I stumble again and fall through the floor I stumble through some hidden door I hit the ground and do not roll Feeling like some fucked up doll The ground is cool where I am laying But I do not notice As the unconscious world fades away Soon I arise. Not knowing my own stupidity The grounds cold and I am healed And so I get up and look around Into the distance my gaze goes To some unknown end In a chasm I am now Scary looking with halos at the side I look I stare and look and stare again And realise that it is light beyond door I try one door. It is locked I try another and another Everyone I try is locked So I start to jog. Trying doors as I go But none will open and I’m left feeling desperate What the hells going on Eventually my hope fades Suppose ill be here for my dying days Stuck in this chasm With nothing else to do I just stare at the blackness that swallows the light What a terrible sight What is this that I see In the distance is a darkness Blacker then the one I am in A towering monstrosity So huge I cant see its top In the shape of a giant arch So there it was. About 40 metres yonder The bane of my life. The bringer of the dark The horrible and terrible arch of doom But beyond it was the sight I was looking for. The door is open And I can see trees I build my courage up and turn to face it. It does not seem to move In-fact it seems motionless Perhaps it’s some building that is in this dark chasm So I prepare myself and try to run But my legs are frozen still I look at it. My gaze drawn By some allpowerful terrible force It wants me to see it. Wants me to know Then its eyes start to glow One was the shape of a triangle Green as a jungle and twice as mean The other was the shape of a circle Completely round like the sun But worst of all was the smile The one you almost don’t see. I’m petrified but I know for sure My choices are limited Flight or die a simple truth And so I start to sprint Running as fast as I can Closer and closer I get Passing it now 10 feet to the door And freedom that lies beyond I look back to see its eyes watching me How the hell did it turn around And that’s my last thought as a red beam rushes at me and I vanish without a sound. Pheww

Thats really good

Heres one called "tired" I’m walking through the fire Cant feel the heat It burns my skin But I’m too weak I don’t care if i get burnt Never know it anyway All the nights i should have learnt Never ever stay awake Yet it don’t hurt me My nerves are all numb Stayed awake to long Now I’m feeling dumb Never mind ill be ok Soon i will be better Go to sleep when darkness falls Start of a new letter I’m walking through the fire The one in my dream Looking at the pyre It is not what it seems Never mind ill be just fine Walking through the fire Ever heard them famous words? Well I am the lier The candle starts too drip It’s running out of wax Just like my energy Gotten really lax The piper says the price you pay It’s costly and immense The debt of all the late-nights Is going to be very dense But for now ill stumble along But for now ill stumble along But for now ill stumble along This one is now twice as long.

OMG :stunned: How did i forget Billie Holiday? Most probably one of the greatest female singers what ever lived and i forgot to mention her. Infact everyone but Kekita forgot to mention her...Shame on us.

Idol worship. :stunned: He was good. Just not that good

Hey something else that might interest you. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4837922 This url will take you to a site that has the whole of the performance from the jazz concert that was on Saturday Norah was in it. She sung "I think its gonna rain today" There are also performances by Diana Krall, Elvis Costello and many more. Hope you like.

I think it depends on your taste. I like both albums as much as each other. For different reasons. Come away with me is calm and soothing. Where feels like home has more energy. But it is also more countryish {Norahs own lable for it} For me her stuff is so good there are only 2 songs spanning both albums that i dont like. Those are "Feeling the same way"which is too repetetive in the lyrics imo, and "creepin in" which has Dolly Parton in. And is probably the most countryish song you will ever hear. Other then that both albums are brilliant. Also if you get hold of the delux edition of FLH you get 3 bonus tracks. Those are "Sleepless nights" "Moon song"{Which is Norahs}and "I turned your picture to the wall" Moon song is bloody brilliant. And also if you are ever able to get a hold of it get the "Special edition" come away with me album which you will know because it has the picture below on. This special edition has "Peace" by horace Silver, Cold cold heart live, Ruler of my heart{With the dirty dozen brass band}and a Bob Dylan classic called "Ill be your baby tonight" So all in all her debut{if you get the special edition} out weighs her second album by 2 songs. But for me her second album has more songs that i can listen to time and time again. So that basically mean they both come out about equal. Well for me anyway. It completely depends on your individual taste however

cool

Sometimes the quite sound is needed

Anyone like her. Just wondering. I really like her. A lot. Just wondering if anyone else likes the stuff she does

7/10 Pink floyd. Sheep. From Animals

Its....Dark

I dont think it matters which order the albums go. Truth be told even their debut album is one of the best debuts of all time. They even make amaturishness sound cool. :stunned:
