Now when the autumn is here, and the rain is more prevalent, I always put on this song - it's meditating. (especially when the rain is so hard I can hear it hammering on my roof - as it does now)

Speaking about the rain... An old beautiful song from Roxette:

An unfortunate typo in your last post, Pollux, especially in the context of the Church.

I sometime look for alternative versions of this song - originally a pagan folk-song to be sung in January (or possibly later?), a looking forward to the bounty that the coming springtime will bring.

I like this, it is closer to a raw peasant sound, though still well-presented.



Also an unusual solo rendition which I like:
Carol of the Bells on Handpan (a.k.a. "Hang Drum")

Hah; what aboutt the butt......

I remember one time when I spent a really long post, on another forum, about Gordon Ramsay, and referred to him on several occasions in the post as; the cock, instead of; the cook - to the amusement of the other forum-members there. Big Grin `The cock Gordon Ramsay´ this, and `the cock Gordon Ramsay´ that, and on and on....

My English grammar really suck from time to time, but since I am a non-native speaker of English, I hope I make myself understood here, from time to time. Blush 
I`spell like a rake´ & `write like a crow´, as we use to say....

Yea, but the man singing the bass-tone really sucked though... Big Grin 

Speaking of alternative versions of this song, I found this one. Smile

Metallica - Carol of the Bells

Well, I'm a bit of a folk fan - regardless of ethnicity, and it is the raw edges of ordinary people which actually make the genre worthwhile for me. I do like music with rough edges. One of my favourite songs came from an obscure compilation CD and was by a male choir from Corsica - sadly I can't seem to track down anything of similar quality from the same region.

Thanks - I'll give it a listen.

Time for some Mashups. Big Grin

You've heard George Michael's  Careless Whisper, and you probably heard Billy Idols - Rebel Yell. But have you heard:


Careless Rebel - (George Michael + Billy Idol Mashup)







You've heard Pink Floyd - Another Brick In The Wall , and you probably heard Bee Gees  Stayin'Alive. But have you heard:

Stayin' Alive In The Wall - (Pink Floyd vs Bee Gees Mashup)








...or Bee Gees - Stayin´Alive + AC/DC's - Back In Black:

Stayin' in Black (The Bee Gees + AC/DC Mashup)





...and a last one: AC/DC - Thnderstruck + Ray Parker Jr - Ghostbusters

Thunder Busters (AC/DC vs Ghostbusters Mashup)
