Axelle Red Lyrics In English

A Thousand Songs and One Song

These are some songs popular at our place at the moment. They seem to be folk and folk rock songs, ending up in dance tempo tunes with a dash of soul, but that’s just accidentally, it’s a random list. In this place you can hear anything from gazal to electronica. If this list catches your eye you might find a song or two you like. I can’t afford to host them myself so I’m sending you to You Tube. Many thanks to the dedicated posters there who have kept many great songs alive, and introduced them to new listeners. The record companies should pay them a fee for this service.

The Weavers, Wimoweh Carnegie Hall reunion 1982: Pete Seegar was 63 years old. This 50s band started the ‘protest song’ movement which later so inspired Bob Dylan; they were a top act until stopped by McCarthyism, which terminated their record contract and denied them airtime on radio. They had bought hope to many, and when they reformed in ’82 were more popular than ever. What an ovation! Four great voices, this song features the incredible Pete Seegar. after one of its tracks, contains this track, ‘Repülj Madár, Repülj’ (Fly Bird, Fly). Hungarian folk music. like the music of Bela Bartok, might seem recondite to people not bought up on traditional music from that part of the world. All it takes is innovative phrasing and ‘folk rock’ arrangements by musicians of genius, and interpretation by one of the world’s most expressive vocalists, and you’re right there. A bound and shackled prisoner calls to the bird he sees through the bars of his cell and celebrates the bird’s freedom. He tells the bird how precious that freedom is. , the featured performers were Gay and Terry Woods, who departed soon after the album was recorded. Gay’s beautiful voice brings out the eeriness of the lyrics, about a betrothed couple who break a golden ring and each keep half as a sign of their pledge when they have to part. A sailor’s life was a risky and dangerous one, once upon a time. That’s Maddy Prior singing harmony.
