First video aired on MTV. I posted it on YouTube with permission from VJ Mark Goodman and Universal Music Group. This is the original music video, ladies and gentlemen. Unfortunately never to be shown again on the air, so watch and hear it now while you can!
Yeah when MTV was about music and not about morons. I think mtv should change its name to "Stupid People".Quote:

Bird On A Wire:
This is the original Leonard Cohen performance of his own song. It's wonderful...a song by a grown up for grown ups. I've also provided a link to the cover by Johnny Cash, which is, imo, equally good in its own way. Johnny's diction is better, or the video is better, so all the words come through clearly, important for all Leonard Cohen "songs", as they're essentially poetry put to music.

MTV was an interesting concept / idea. It is just too bad that corporation, fame and greed had to destroy such a great idea and a new frontier for the Western word and entertainment. Hope you all enjoyed this original first video (vintage) of Video Killed the Radio Star. It is a privilege. (You may not be able to find it anywhere, unfortunately.)Quote:

Here is the first day of MTV, live. Unfortunately, you will not find "Video Killed the Radio Star" on it (it's cut for some odd) but you should see Mark there in the beginning. He was the main host VJ from 1981-1987. ) I just had to post this video on there, because it was a must.
(edit, nevermind, I just found a video with Video Killed the Radio Star. Someone posted it 19 days ago on the 31st of July, cool. I hope Viacom gave them the OK to post it. It would be sad if YouTube pulls it again.)
I think we need some healing. Josh Groban and Brian McKnight in one of the best ever versions of "Bridge Over Troubled Waters".

I am,Billie, but the old days were that good!
There is wedding at the neighborhood at the town I am now,
the boy's origin is from Pontus, that migrate at 1923,
typical song in most of their rituals, a kind of anthem is a song from Οινοη Oinoe Unye in Turkish about a village called Tsambasi ceybasi
the former's origin is from kappadokia, his mother did not know Greek until she reached Greece at 1923,
Kazantzidis at the decades from 1950-1990 is consider more than a singer, rather a teacher,
all his song are mostly education, on how to speak, to love, to cry, to sing, etc
even today is very poppular among working class, especially heavy workers,
a kind of teacher on how and what is worker, his demands, and his obligation,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSoL3hWyehU
I just wanted to share this sounds that are in my neighborhood with you,
ΩΠΑΑ
the song is about a fire that happened to the village at early 1900, which was a great mountain resort and passage from sea to inland, so a great commercial center,
a total disaster, and at the end as the teacher says, all poor and rich, they shit down together and they cry
I appreciate the post, Yetos. These kinds of tragedies spare no one, right? They teach people how much alike they really are...Quote:

I very much like songs the best which capture universal human feelings, with no artificial divisions between rich or poor, or ethnicities...
This is also a song about working men and the difficulties they face...the seamen of Liguria. It's called Creuza de Ma, or sea lanes, and it's sung in Genovese dialect by Fabrizio De Andre, one of our greatest singer song-writers. If you don't see the English subtitles on screen, click on cc.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBevfffdqVA
well the previous song is difficult for me to transalet,
it has also Turkish and Persian words,
but the bellow its ok
only as every translation by a non expert will lose a lot,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-Re9SUebgE
it is a man's song, a man that feels the responsibilities of his life,
the lyrics in Greek are at the publications info
in English as I can translate
All my life is a responsibility
that 'takes' all, and gives nothing
All my life is a furnace(kiln)
that I have fall in, and braise me,
All my life is a foolishness
that is my only fortune (belongings-substance)
All my life is a sacrifice
having no purpose, neither meaning
All my life is a cigarette
that I do not like, yet I smoke it
and when comes to butt, a treat to Charos (libation to deat's ferryman)
for when the time come, and happen accidently to meet him (ferryman has been payed by my life's butt)
an alternative translation
My whole life is a responsibility
it takes everything from me, it gives nothing,
my whole life is furnace
in which I have fallen and which slowly roasts me.
My whole life is a nonsense
and my only property
my whole life is a sacrifice
which has nor goal, nor meaning
My whole life is a cigarette,
which I don't fancy, yet I smoke it
when the cigarette butt become a treat to death,
when the time is up, I bum him off (for a cigarette).
the performer
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stelios_Kazantzidis
the song writer
https://el.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%86...BD%CE%BF%CF%85
both are if not the best, surely among the topten ever since modern Greece exist, beloved by common people artists
kazantzidis was married for a short time with the top 'lady' and Diva of Greek female performers, (few knows what happened to Australia)
the one that was like teacher to many girls at 60's till 80's,
Marinella, some probably know her by singing Grecani songs from S Italy,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1TMtncsdm0
infos about her
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marinella
the best perfomance that even today no Greek female singer dares to sing, cause it is consider not only impossible but also unholly
is this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BtCDF4avpw
lyrics are here,
http://lyricstranslate.com/el/anikse...pen-stone.html
Marinella always use to sing about the pain of a women, and to be a 'lady', a perfect morale female,
even today Marinella's song are loved by women, as the woman who stand and fight with the correct female way.
Although many criticise her as too excessive.
the most poor song for her abilities, as also outside her style and philosophy
was the 1974 Eurovision contest,
Marinella was the first Greek performer ever in Eurovision contest
'a bit of wine, a bit of sea, and my boyfriend'
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQjKPqHeTbQ
@Yetos,
So, perhaps she was sort of your Mina? This is from around the same time: 1969

The English translation appears on screen.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5JEOp5hS0A
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5JEOp5hS0A
best song ever : Andrea Bocelli - Con Te Partirò (San Remo)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQQSQMX8lRU
Actually, perhaps the Greek singer is closer to Mia Martini? I like, and have posted Minuetto, but this one, "Gli Uomini non Cambiano" or Men Don't Change, is perhaps her "rawest" song. Well, that and "Cumme".Quote:

from modern Greek music artist I like noone,
all of them are industry made, and suddenly they are 'excaveted' at show like talent or voice,
and music industry is pushing them and controls even their weighth,
the latest 2 greek phenomena are 2 women,
but one is not Greek, only the name
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7b-_YcACuQ
the other remained still a talented perfomrmer.
she is fantastic, but I expect more from her,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLb-kFbpBTw
anyway rap and new kinds of music, just change our aisthetics,
modern products of music, at least in Greece, are empty, without soul,
just hits, beats, and again and again,
great performs of old music, still impress me more, but not the new beat-hit like style,
especially thessaloniki and Makedonia which until 90's had her own scene and was ahead in Rock and new wave style in Greece today seems like not to exist,
we hear more old songs at cafes and sing them at tavernas, the only new is from abroad, the hits/beats from USA and glamour style.
last decades in greece, we are facing depreciation,
and that reflect to music, which today is either stupid lyrics, either ironic sarcastic lyrics,
anyway I think I will start a thread about Greek music through centuries,
starting from Seikilos and Mesomedes or orfeus.

2 less known istrument that comes from antique
1. Κανων/κανονακι Qanun Canun
https://i.ytimg.com/vi/s_uX8lijB-c/hqdefault.jpg
Κανονακι comes is evolution of Pythagoras monochordon,
the father of Qanun and Santour is considered Pythagoras,
kanon has 79 points/places and kanonaki (small) has less
modern long tail and Piano are based in the form of kanon and santouri more than in the piano of Cristofori of Padua
Kanon today is very famous at West Turkey and Arab countries,
Kanon was one of the most favourite instruments in Brygia and Smyrna before 1922
only from the sound and play you can realize its dynamic and relativity
the difference is that is played as a string organ with fingers than with mechanic hits as piano
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3gfRe9Lzjo
and a video in Turkish
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rb7wIep6xLg
Both Kanon and Santour are evolution of ψαλτηριον which is evolution of epigonion of Pythagoras
2. Santour Santuri
Santour is the evolution of Kanon by Iranians and is developed at Persia with 100 points, while the older Greek form has 75,
its homeland is considered Persia.
Santour means 100 chordes in Iranian, but strangely the inner terms kept their mathematic etymology of Kanon (pythagoreian terms) like 'Kharak' and 'Poshte kharak' (Χαραξ, οπισθεν χαραξ)
Santour is very popular at Iranic world, and is played from Greece to India to China.
it is like piano of the West in some areas.
at the video is Makedonian rythm of Makelaris dance which passed to Con/polis Tatavla (kurtulus) as hasapiko and today is known as 'Syrtaki'
the atmospheric sounds of Byzantine empire on a Makedonian war dance via an old instrument that was evoluted by Persians.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMTTvAIR-ts
Santour was almost extinguist at Greece at 1950's-60's when Greece turn to western instruments,
but survived thanks to a great teacher A Moschos/Moshos
Aristeides Moschos was also considered as an elite santour player world wide,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRBVBrVCABs
PS
lately some deny that the etymology Santour is Iranian origin,
and consider it as Latin,
both Kanon and Santour comes from ψαλτεριον the east monastic organ/instrument (compare the pipe organ of the West)
ψαλτηριον (psalterion) in Latin/Italian would be something like Cantor Chantor
a ψαλτηριον was not allowed at Liturgy
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...x-Salterio.jpg
@Yetos maybe it would be nice for a proper thread for greek music. There many genres of it and someone could find something interesting.
Nice psarantonis. Φιλιά ρε μπαγάσα!

Why "The Boss" is at a big Clinton rally in Philadelphia I have no idea...much less Jon Bon Jovi, but hey I've always liked him.

Yeah the hyrule castle theme! This is the theme that plays when Ganon's knights take over Hyrule Castle and you as the Hero must lead the Princess to safety! This means a lot to me bc a) you got to rescue a princess and b) lead her out of the dungeon and protect her! As a male this was an awesome experience! We males love the "feeling" of being responsible for the safety of women and I would've loved the opportunity to risk death for a princess and have her weep for me in case I succumb to a mortal stab wound!
Nella Fantasia. Music by Ennio Morricone, Lyrics Chiara Ferraù Sung by Sarah Brightman.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Sy90G7ceYU
Nella fantasia io vedo un mondo giusto,
Lì tutti vivono in pace e in onestà.
Io sogno d'anime che sono sempre libere,
Come le nuvole che volano,
Pien' d'umanità in fondo all'anima.In my fantasy I see a just world
Where all live in peace and honesty
I dream of souls that are always free
Like clouds that soar
Full of humanity in the depths of the soul.Nella fantasia io vedo un mondo chiaro
Lì anche la notte è meno oscura.
Io sogno d'anime che sono sempre libere,
Come le nuvole che volano.
Pien' d'umanità.In my fantasy I see a bright world
Where even night there is less darkness
I dream of souls that are always free
Like clouds that soar
Full of humanity.Nella fantasia esiste un vento caldo,
Che soffia sulle città, come amico.
Io sogno d'anime che sono sempre libere,
Come le nuvole che volano,
Pien' d'umanità in fondo all'anima.In my fantasy exists a warming wind
That breathes into the city, like a friend
I dream of souls that are always free
Like clouds that soar
Full of humanity in the depths of the soul.
well
it is very freezy in Europe last days,
in my town reach -11 C and in the village -17 C.
and water pipes are broken, so no water
so I remember something to warm spirit and mind
