lumberjim · 04-10-2010, 09:25 PM

yeah....I'm reneging on my abstention.

Into the Mystic

because Van IS the Man

glatt · 04-11-2010, 06:37 AM

Van IS the man, but I never would have chosen that song to show it.

lumberjim · 04-11-2010, 06:55 AM

well....we WERE born before the Sun.....

I'm going to be at the gym when Whole Lotta Love comes up again. Consider this my mail in vote.

Undertoad · 04-11-2010, 11:57 AM

Can't do that, wouldn't be prudent... but Sundays are light sometimes so maybe the vote won't be up when you get back.

Undertoad · 04-11-2010, 11:58 AM

Plus I should really concentrate on other things too so maybe I won't be around to tally the vote in a timely fashion

All The Young Dudes.

Even though I like S&G very much I like Bowie more plus we need something of another genre and that song is one of the best of all time too.

Interesting factoid about the Boxer. It took over 100 hours to record.

A little about Into The Mystic.

Listed as number 7 on the All Time 885 Greatest Songs compiled in 2004

Moondance( of which Into the Mystic is a song thereof) was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999 and has continued to be a highly acclaimed album in the 2000s

In March 2007, Moondance was listed as #72 on the NARM Rock and Roll Hall of Fame list of the "Definitive 200".
In December 2009, it was voted #11 top Irish album of all time.

Teh boxer.

My friend played Into the Mystic on a boombox at his mother's funeral just a few months after she spoke at my wedding. Makes me cry....

skysidhe · 04-11-2010, 12:33 PM

yeah , When people play songs at funerals it is a great way to mess up a song forever. Same with Mclaughlin's Angel song played at my aunts funeral. I just can't listen to it without it provoking strong sad emotions.

This reminded me.
I have decided on Walk To The Paradise garden for my moms funeral when the time comes.
I didn't go looking. I heard it one day and just knew I wanted that one. I don't know if that is sick or morbid to plan but it has to happen at sometime. I just don't see how she can go on like this for very long. The song inspires all of the peace I hope is there waiting for her when she does go. I don't want her to of course. She is suffering. I don't know how long people can suffer but I just can't see very far out in the future for her.

I'm sorry...what a downer

That just spilled out.
