OT: Songs About Strong Moods and Emotions

Here is a Mary Black's version of a melancholy song about the end of childhood and entering the adult world of work. Growing up in an area where my ancestors were involved in coal mining, it has a special pull for me.

WW II nostalgia at its peak. Sung by Dame Vera Lynn, who died a few years ago at the age of 103.


Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn
Remember how she said that we would meet again, some sunny day………..
Vera, Vera, ……. what has become of you……….
Does anybody else in here feel the way I do??????

This one deals with longing/lust, brilliant lyrics and music. The chorus:

And so I succumb to cinnamon, sweat, and rum
Laughing with stars in your eyes and your hair undone
And I pray one day our stars align so I might hold you one more time
And succumb to cinnamon, sweat, and rum

 
Touching movie, storied song, and Dexter Gordon. Shakes me up every time. The tribute to Coleman Hawkins and the 1930s recording is another layer of emotion. And…Mr. McLaughlin.


PS- Yeah, the film print is backwards. :cool:

All Things Considered had a series, probablu around 2000, on the greatest recordings of the 20th century. One of those chosen was the Hawkins recording of Body and Soul. I’m not sure I was aware of it before that, but I sure have grown to love it.

For those who have yet to enjoy it… He improvises around the melody without ever playing it. Pretty special for an 85 year old performance!

Love my live iTunes version where it sounds like a guitar string snaps.

Nice! Diggin' the intro.
I generally prefer live cuts if they are well-recorded with good audio. Sometimes ya get some cool variations from the studio tracks.
