Re: Nichita Stanescu

And he's so much more than that ... His poems are the first I read , you could say I grew with them , so i can't help being subjective about him , but , still , I think his poems are ... universal . He mastered the language , so he went on creating new meanings , without forgeting the old ones . In ...

Townes Van Zandt

I looked for a topic about him but i didn't find any . Townes must be one of my favourite singer/songwriter , the first song i've heard from him "waiting around to die" is still my favourite , it is a great , tough simple , deffinition of a man's life . He plays his songs with a very unusu...

Re: Album of the Year

Josh Ritter - Animal Years

Field in Spring Green rings around the eyes, this grass in vibrant motion arcs tenderly about you, at a distance- you summon it, then fling it round, broken by your laugh of youth and innocence. Stretched under you, this curling dome of grass would sound its voices in the gravel- but you are unaware...

Re: your perfect concert

This is a really difficult question ... I would like to see Janis Joplin because she had such a passionate way of singing and such an electrifying voice . Also , The Who would be on the top of the list , or maybe only Townshed , though Daltery was ( i'm not sure wether he still is ) as interesting t...

Re: Just posted 8 songs from forthcoming Australian Cohen tribut

This songs are really great . I especially enjoyed "Jazz Police" , as it is one of the few songs of leonard cohen that i really don't like , and they made it sound a lot better . I never heard of them before , but now i'm surely going to look for their cd's , if there are any to be found i...

Re: Best album, musically?

The album I am most fond of is , no doubt about it , songs from a room .... but , musically , i guess the future or , maybe , various positions should be the best .

Re: The real Nancy

That's such a great story for such a great song ... I enjoyed the song from the first time i listened to it . I never thought that the lyrics could have such a sad interpretation , as i rather pictured a more abstract Nancy , a kind of a spectral presence , as the lyrics say : "And now you look...

Re: Gillian Welch

Gillian Welch means a lot to me . It's from her that i first heard of the music called bluegrass , from witch , by then , I just can't part . Each and every song of her's makes me shiver in a whole different way . It's hard to point a favourite , but , at the moment , Paper Wings is the one that rea...
