Iāll edit my post, after you translate the song dude
Lyrically the song is about the death of rural communities, something I am all too aware of.
Try googling lyrics.
This is archive stuff, unpublished in this form but present on the 1969 album āThen Play Onā in abbreviated form.
17 minutes of the tightest guitar band instrumental youāre ever likely to hear. If youāve heard little of the original Fleetwood Mac and you like pulse raising guitar led excitement give it a go. An unedited jamā¦
I didnāt really know where to pop this little anecdote, but here seems as good a place as any, and Iām sure youāll all enjoy a tale of KRG getting a humbling.
Many moons ago, the (very nice) lass I sat next to in Science told me her cousin was a member of Sum 41. Not just a distant, estranged cousin - they were based in Ontario, Canada, we were in the Suburbs of London (HA massive!) - but close family members, and knew the band. So much so that she was going to be invited to the wedding of singer Deryck Whibley (not her cousin) & Avril Lavigne.
This was about the time Sum 41 broke through with Fat Lip (tune). We were about 12/13(?) at the time. I put this down to adolescent embellishment, as most kids seem to come out with some outrageous claim to fame, and never really thought much more of it. Other than that, she always seemed a very sweet, and funny girl, so even if it was bollocks, it wernāt hurting anyone. Sadly, weāve lost touch, nothing acrimonious, just donāt move in the same circles anymore. Weāll say hello and be pleasant if we do bump into each other.
Anyway, fast forward to this weekend, and Sum 41 are playing the Main Stage at Reading (thankfully, it seems Deryck Whibley has put his health troubles behind him). What do I see spamming up my Facebook and Instagram pages? A great big
FUCK YOU KRG, YOU DOUBTING PRICK. I REALLY AM RELATED TO HIM
Ok, it wasnāt actually that. But it was photoās and videos of her watching the band, side of stage, and then photos of her and her cousin, and her with the whole band, backstage.
I was wrong, very wrong. But at least on the other hand, I was mostly a good judge of character, and she was indeed a good girl after all.
Dunno if there is really a moral here, as I still reckon 95% of people that make these sorts of claims (especially as teenagers) are full of shit. But hey, you can all laugh at me being very wrong.
Just ripping off Blur aināt they
After seeing a song by The Cramps posted by @Won-Ton on the musical chain thread I did a bit of YouTube reminiscing.
This is probably my fave song by them - very B52-esque with hints of Jesus And Mary Chain thrown in:

While looking for that song I also found this, which I never knew they covered, very good:

This is a bit Goggle Box, but watching this guy experience Pink Floydās Time for the first time is fantastic.
His reaction to the female vocal coming in is wonderful to watch.

Cheers for sharing these @saintbletch, cracking little find. These are really joyous to watch.
I want to be his mate, and share music with him. He seems so sincere and earnest, mixed with his enthusiasm thereās a really infectious positivity to these.

I know what it is.
Itās like being able to play tracks you like to a mate and being able to force them to listen to the end (a practice Iāve long since abandoned as I have musically philistine mates).
Heās not quite sure what to make of Bohemian Rhapsody - or how to say it. Loves the āchange-upsā though.

Itās also making me realise I need to listen to more Pink Floyd. I know bits, and like what I know - Iāve just never gotten round to properly throwing myself in.
