What Are You Listening To?

Song: "The Shift"
by CIVIL CIVIC
from the album THE TEST

 

[Zorua 124]

So I was lurking Tumblr and someone put up a TikTok video of people singing "Soon May the Wellerman Come". I remembered The Longest Johns existed and looked up to see if they'd done it, and I found... this.

The Longest Johns "Wellerman Community Project". Sixty-five hundred voices. Just listen to that harmony!

 

There once was a ship that put to sea
And the name of the ship was the Billy o' Tea
The winds blew hard, her bow dipped down
Blow, me bully boys, blow!

(HUH!)
Soon may the Wellerman come
to bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go

She had not been two weeks from shore
When down on her a right whale bore
The captain called all hands and swore
He'd take that whale in tow

(HUH!)
Soon may the Wellerman come
to bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go

Before the boat had hit the water
The whale's tail came up and caught her
All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
When she dived down below

(HUH!)
Soon may the Wellerman come
to bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go

No line was cut, no whale was freed,
The captain's mind was not on greed!
But he belonged to the Whaleman's creed
She took that ship in tow

(HUH!)
Soon may the Wellerman come
to bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go

For forty days or even more
the line went slack then tight once more
All boats were lost, there were only four
And still that whale did go

Soon may the Wellerman come
to bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go

As far as I've heard, the fight's still on
The line's not cut, and the whale's not gone
The Wellerman makes his regular call
to encourage the captain, crew and all

Soon may the Wellerman come
to bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go-o
Soon may the Wellerman come
to bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go

(this is also a test to see if the spoilerbox still works. i just copy/pasted the source code from an older post since I can't remember the shorthand format; any help there, please?)

Lady Tygress Suite. Great work as always, ProfessorTomoe!

Incidentally, I already listened to Geisterwolken, and it was awesome; I only regret I didn't get around to listening to it sooner.

Thank you very much, and thank you for the Bandcamp purchase! Much obliged.

I've been listening to The Warning newest album.  Granted it's been out a while, but I just bought the MP3 version a week or so ago.  My favorite track is "Evolve"

When USA for Africa recorded We Are the World, the assembled musicians got a little silly after infinity minus one takes. 

When you start improvising on the Banana Boat Song in front of Harry Belafonte, you know it really is time to go home.

This is one of the ways I want to remember him.

When I heard the news about Springer, I had to look up this Weird Al classic

What am I listening to?

Excuses and lies.

If the busses are not running on time, adjust the video display boards to show when they will actually depart, please.

I've been slowly collecting Pink Floyd's discography over the past few years. I just got Meddle yesterday, and am now listening to it. (I'm only on the first song, "One Of These Days", but I really like it.)

[mlooney 3,417]

My youngest brother is, or at least was, very into Pink Floyd.  He has their discography in 3 forms, LD, CD and digital.  He bought an analog stereo system just to listen to them.  He's not one of the people that claims that analog is better, just "If I've got the record I need to be able to play them".

[ChronosCat 155]

Pink Floyd is among my favorite bands (though not quite enough of a favorite for me to have rushed out and bought all their albums as soon as I realized how much I like them, like I've done with a few other bands). I have CD and digital versions of all of the albums I've got so far, but I only ever bought them once - the ones I got as CDs I copied to my computer, and the ones I bought digitally I burned to CD (this is actually what I do with most music I collect).

So I finished listening to Meddle. The final song, "Echoes", was also really good. The songs in between were fun, but in my opinion weren't quite up to the same level as the first and last songs.

I've ordered a study score for this so I can...you know...study...the score...anyway, I'm trying to write a woodwind quintet of my own, and I'm going to study Francaix's methods and techniques for scoring his quintet. Turns out I picked a doozy to study.

I've been listening to REO Speedwagon this morning.  They seem to have more girlfriend problems than you would think a rock star would have.

This may be the strangest cover of ANY song I've heard
