When the rain comes I'll be walking
With the sunshine on my back
Ain't got no time for depression
I'm so happy (that's a fact)

When the rain comes I'll be walking
With no tear left in my eye
Cause I found out where I'm going
Now the water's (-- ?? --)

How does it feel when you're twisting in blue
(-- ?? --) singin different tunes
How can I listen, when I don't even care?
Now it's time to discover truth in eachother
Do you hear what I'm saying?

When the rain comes I'll be walking
With the sunshine on my back
Ain't got no time for depression
I'm so happy that's a fact

When the rain comes I'll be walking
With no tear left in my eye
Cause I found out where I'm going
Now the water's (-- ?? --)

What do you want?
I say what do you need?
Love is the answer
Now get it for free!

No need to worry
When your (scar's turning gray)
(with hearts/arms) open wide   
Come on inside
I'll take all your blues away

When the rain comes I'll be walking
With the sunshine on my back
Ain't got no time for depression
I'm so happy that's a fact

(solo)

When the rain comes I'll be walking
With no tear left in my eye
Cause I found out where I'm going
Now the water's (-- ?? --)

(voice)
Most people break down into tears when they get a death threat!
Because she's on television this makes some kind of a difference?

Rain come down!

When the rain comes I'll be walking
With the sunshine on my back
Ain't got no time for depression
I'm so happy that's a fact

When the rain comes I'll be walking
With no tear left in my eye
Cause I found out where I'm going
Now the water...........

Love Sculpture - mars (1970)

Great song,  really prefer this one to be much longer, nonetheless it blows me away!

                 

Love Sculpture was a British blues-rock band of the late 1960s, led by Dave Edmunds, plus bassist John Williams (born John David Williams, 19 January 1946, in Cardiff, Wales) and drummer Rob ‘Congo’ Jones (born Robert Jones, 13 August 1946, in Barry, South Wales).
They formed in Cardiff in 1966, and disbanded in 1970, although Edmunds went on to enjoy solo success in the 1970s. They are best known for their 1968 novelty hit, a cover version of the classical piece “Sabre Dance”, by Aram Khachaturian. Other songs included: “Land of the Few”, “Summertime” and “You Can’t Catch Me”.

Tracks:
01. Two Stars 3:54
02. Grok (Martian Love Call) 7:03
03. Romeo & Juliet 3:15

06. Door Keys 4:46
07. Planet of a Flower 4:18

Jim Holmberg is an American singer and songwriter. His only album, on which he was credited as Mij ("Jim" spelled backwards), was released by ESP Records in 1969, and has been described as "one of the best and strangest cosmic folk records of the 1960s".

Eventually released in September 1969, the record was not commercially successful, and Holmberg disappeared from view for several decades. He worked as an electronic and computer technician in the aerospace industry in California and also spent several years in Japan. Until the album was reissued by ESP in 2009, he was unaware of the fact that it had become a cult collectors' item.

David Bowie quote

"Frankly, I mean, sometimes the interpretations I've seen on some of the songs that I've written are a lot more interesting than the input that I put in".

Crosby, Stills & Nash - CSN boxset 1991

An evening with CSN, really glad I found full infomation about this great boxset.
All info comes from:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSN_%28box_set%29

This box features material from their albums as a group in addition to selections from their various solo and duet albums. It also features many outtakes, including from sessions that did not result in an album by the group. Highlights include a cover of The Beatles "Blackbird" and the full length take of "Almost Cut My Hair." With the exception of  "Helpless" and "Ohio" the set excludes any material written by occasional bandmate Neil Young.

Fantasy

Progressive rock masterpieces from early '70's in my top 10 best albums.

The story of this band started at the Chapel Farm, a farmhouse near Gravesend (Kent) were the band had their first rehearsals. It was the family home of singer Paul Petley, other musicians were Geoff Whitehorn (electric guitar), Paul Lawrence (acoustic guitar/vocals), David Metcalfe (keyboards), David Read (bass guitar) and Brian Chatham (drums), later replaced by John Webster. The lead guitar was by the promising Bob Vann but he died in a car accident, he was replaced by Pete James. The new line-up Fantasy sent a demo tape to the label Decca and changed their name in Firequeen. But Polydor was also interested and they pursuaded the band to sign for them. Again the band decided to change their name, it became Fantasy, a name that fitted more to the style and flavour of the music. The debut album was called "Paint A Picture" and released in '73 (now on cd). Soon Fantasy belonged to the past, the tapes for a next album remained in the vaults of time. Fortunately the label Audio Archives released these tapes as a cd called "Beyond The Beyond". This one is an absolute beauty and it contains nine very refined compositions with warm vocals and 12-string acoustic guitars, flowing and sensitive electric guitar and lots of Hammond organ and Mellotron. The highlight on this album is the track Alexandrie (almost 9 minutes) with the Mellotron in all its splendor: majestic eruptions and beautiful waves along a typical Sixties sounding organ.

Note:
2 more albums:
In '94, Audio Archives put out another Fantasy album, Vivariatum (made up of early- and late-period demos, plus a b-side from the Paint a Picture sessions
Most of the best tracks from Vivariatum, minus the b-side, were added to the Beyond the Beyond tracks, along with a previously-unavailable demo, as Beyond the Beyond Plus.

Thomas mcRocklin

In my search for 'artists and what became of them' is this about Thomas McRocklin. He was the 11 year old boy who played little Stevie Vai in Steve Vai's video-clip 'The Audience is Listening'. Of course Steve Vai was playing the guitar himself, but Thomas is also a real guitar player (see the clip below).

In an eightees interview with Steve Vai on MTV's Headbangers Ball he spoke about Thomas how he met him when he appears at his dressing-room playing guitar which resulted in an appearance in the video.

After this he opened for Ozzy Osbourne during a concert.Then became a member of the band Bad 4 Good formed in 1991 by child actor Danny Cooksey (vocals), Thomas McRocklin (guitar), Zack Young (bass) and Brooks Wackerman (drums). Their band's mentor was also Steve Vai, whom produced their album Refugee.
After Bad 4 Good he only made one solo-album and begun working in a music store.

David Bowie - Letter to Hermione > Songfacts

David met Hermione Farthingale whilst they were both taking dancing lessons from Lindsey Kemp at the Dance Central in London. They split up in 1969 after she met an American dancer and musician Stephen Reinhardt whilst they were working on the movie Song of Norway. The hand that wrote this letter Sweeps the pillow clean So rest your head and read a treasured dream I care for no one else but you I tear my soul to cease the pain I think maybe you feel the same What can we do? I'm not quite sure what we're supposed to do So I've been writing just for you They say your life is going very well They say you sparkle like a different girl But something tells me that you hide When all the world is warm and tired You cry a little in the dark Well so do I I'm not quite sure what you're supposed to say But I can see it's not okay He makes you laugh He brings you out in style He treats you well And makes you up real fine And when he's strong He's strong for you And when you kiss It's something new But did you ever call my name Just by mistake? I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to do So I'll just write some love to you

David, Hermione and John Hutchinson as 'The Feathers'.

Cool music organizer

Wow wouldn't this be a cool place for cd's/dvd's or lp's too? never seen this before.

The Rolling Stones - a parody

Stones lip syncing parody on the Sonny & Cher song I've got you babe

about the original Sonny & Cher version:
-upon recording and releasing the song, "I Got You Babe" became the duo's biggest single, their signature song and a defining recording of the early hippie countercultural movement. In August 1965, the single spent three weeks at the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 and #19 on the R&B charts in the United States. The duo's single also hit #1 in the United Kingdom and was subsequently included on their debut album Look at Us. 
The song placed at #444 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of all time.

Lamp of the Universe

Lamp Of The Universe is a solo project from Datura (New-Zealand stoner band) bassist and vocalist Craig Williamson.

Just wonderful lay back and relax music.

Lamp Of The Universe (the solo project of Datura's bassist Craig Williamson) was devoted to chanted shoegaze-ragas that could achieve a degree of complexity worthy of the avantgarde, like a lo-fi version of Peter-Michael Hamel or a looser version of Donovan during his Eastern phase. After the tentative The Cosmic Union (Cranium, 2001), containing Lotus of a Thousand Petals, and Echo In Light (Cranium, 2001), containing the ten-minute Our Celestial Flow, the eight-minute Pyramids of Sam and the 17-minute Dream Sequence, Williamson achieve an eerie synthesis with Heru (Barl Fire, 2005), a seven-movement chamber symphony for sitar, tabla, synthesizer and guitar (the same instrumentation he had used on previous albums but here better integrated). Earth Spirit & Sky (Cranium, 2005) and the four lengthy jams of From The Mystic Rays Of Astrological Light (Astral Projection, 2006) tried different avenues but his best moments remained tied to that original idea. Arc Of Ascent (Astral Projection, 2007), the most static and purest of his recordings, contained two lengthy droning improvisations. Acid Mantra (Astral Projection, 2009) experiments with freak-folk and drums.
