~ Rolling Stones 'SWAY'
Views: 118501 |  |  |  |  | Mick Taylor ascends bodily to Blues Rock Valhalla. Also featuring one of the other Mick's great vocals.

Fanvid featuring the neo- pre- raphaelite stoned beauty of Marianne Faithfull... ...with mind-bending imagery by the great Kenneth Anger from his 1972 film Lucifer Rising. Buckmaster met Miles Davis in 1969 and began to study with him in New York City in 1972. He appears on Davis' album On the Corner (1972), for which he wrote arrangements and played electric cello. He began working with Elton John in 1970, helping arrange his second album, Elton John, and initiating a collaborative effort that exists to the present day. Buckmaster is credited with the idea of the gospel choir that backed The Rolling Stones on "You Can't Always Get What You Want".[1] In addition to the aforementioned artists, Buckmaster has arranged music on albums by The Rolling Stones, the Grateful Dead, Mott the Hoople, Harry Nilsson, Carly Simon, Shawn Phillips, Debbie Gibson, Stevie Nicks, Faith Hill, Backstreet Boys, The Darkness, Keith Urban, Angelo Branduardi and Celine Dion.

~ Elton John - Your Song (Video)
Views: 28354 |  |  |  |  | "Your Song" first appeared on Elton's self titled second album. It was then released in the US in October 1970 as the B-side to "Take Me to the Pilot". Both received airplay, but "Your Song" was preferred by disc jockeys and replaced "Take Me to the Pilot ...More " as the A-side, eventually making both the UK and US top ten charts. This is a slightly different version to the normal video you might have seen,there's an almost behind the scenes look to it. So here's Elton in 1970,before the outrageous glamour days and looking extremely shy! PS I don't own this video or any of the rights associated with it. I simply put it on here so that you can enjoy it as I have,I know you appreciate it ;D |

~ Elton John - Blues Never Fade Away (Basel 2006)
Views: 14537 |  |  |  |  | He wasn't famous but I sure did love him I've got his picture in a little frame He lost his life to a big disease before it even had a name But there's so many more and I've lost count The hows and whys aren't important now All that matters is they came a ...More round And brightened up our lives She was twenty one with her life ahead You don't have to know her name She breathed her last on the cold stone floor of a Hollywood arcade But fate's right hand isn't always just Puts a lot of pressure on your faith and trust She was just a little girl ain't that enough To rage against the day [chorus:] And how did we get so lucky? Targets on the rifle range Who makes the call and who gets to choose? Who gets to win and who gets to lose? It's like a rolling dice in the belly of the blues And blues never fade away Hey hey the colors run when the rain falls But blues never fade away He shone so bright with a lust for life Like the Sun King that he was His passions hung upon his walls and were printed onto cloth And for reasons I never understood About the choices made between the bad and good I've tried to figure out but The pain never goes away [repeat chorus] And there's marble markers and little white crosses Along the beaten path And I've spread their ashes on the wind And I miss John Lennon's laugh [repeat chorus] 18 November 2006 01.Intro/Funeral For A Friend 02.Love Lies Bleeding 03.Bennie And The Jets 04.Philadelphia Freedom 05.Goodbye Yellow Brick Road 06.Daniel 07.Rocket Man 08.I ... |

It's getting late have you seen my mates Ma tell me when the boys get here It's seven o'clock and I want to rock Want to get a belly full of beer ...More My old man's drunker than a barrel full of monkeys And my old lady she don't care My sister looks cute in her braces and boots A handful of grease in her hair Don't give us none of your aggravation We had it with your discipline Saturday night's alright for fighting Get a little action in Get about as oiled as a diesel train Gonna set this dance alight `Cause Saturday night's the night I like Saturday night's alright alright alright Well they're packed pretty tight in here tonight I'm looking for a dolly who'll see me right I may use a little muscle to get what I need I may sink a little drink and shout out "She's with me!" A couple of the sound that I really like Are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike I'm a juvenile product of the working class Whose best friend floats in the bottom of a glass Don't give us none of your aggravation We had it with your discipline Saturday night's alright for fighting Get a little action in Get about as oiled as a diesel train Gonna set this dance alight `Cause Saturday night's the night I like Saturday night's alright alright alright |
