Favorite Music

[crunch]

So on the road trip (the successfull part of it) to Rutherglen, we got talking about music and what our favorite songs were. this was mainly in relation to hearing Mark Seymour sing.

People have asked me over time what My favorite bands are, favorite album and favorite songs are. I've never been able to give them a straight answer. After a lot of thought I think I have come up with the following:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Favorite Songs

I cant say ONE song is my favorite song. Theres too many differences for different moods and the like. But the following are definatly in the count.

Hunters and Collectors - Holy Grail
Hunters and Collectors - Throw Your Arms Around Me


Holy Grail - Hunters and Collectors

Woke up this morning from the strangest dream
I was in the biggest army the world has ever seen
We were marching as one
On the road to the holy grail

Started out seeking fortune and glory
Its a short song but it's a hell of a story
When you spend your lifetime trying to get your hands
On the holy grail

Well have you heard about the great crusade
We ran into millions, but nobody got paid
Yeah we raised four corners of the globe
For the holy grail

All the locals scattered, they were hiding in the snow
We were so far from home, so how were we to know
There be nothing left to plunder
When we stumble on the holy grail

We were full of beans
But we were dying like flies
And those big black birds, they were circling in the sky
And you know what they say, yeah, nobody deserves to die

You know I, I've been searching for an easy way
To escape this cold light of day
I been high and I been low
But got I nowhere else to go

Theres nowhere else to go

And I followed orders
God knows where i've been
But i woke up alone
All my wounds were clean
Im still here
Im still a fool for the holy grail

Oh yeah im a fool for the holy grail

Throw your arms around me - Hunters and Collectors

I will come for you at night time
I will raise you from your sleep
I will kiss you in four places
As I go running along your street
I will squeeze the life out of you
You will make me laugh and make me cry
We will never forget it
You will make me call your name and I'll shout it to the blue summer sky
We may never meet again
So shed your skin and lets get started
And you will throw your arms around me

I dreamed of you at night time
And I watched you in your sleep
I met you in high places
I touched your head and touched your feet
So if you disappear out of view
You know, I will never say goodbye
Though I try to forget it
You will make me call your name and I'll shout it to the blue summer sky

We may never meet again
So shed your skin and lets get started
And you will throw your arms around me
Yeah you will throw you arms around me
(repeat to end)

Favorite Album: Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon

Theres a reason Dark Side of the Moon is still selling so well 30 years after it was written and thats because its still such a brilliant album.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Favorite Driving Album: Dire Straights - Sultans of Swing.

Why is this such a good driving song.

The Cure: Aparently a really good music to cry and be depressed to.
