of war with Iran and abortion can get depressing. Thought Id drop something that I always find uplifting.

Smoke em of you got em for know. But the social cataclysm is just getting fired up. It will be darkest before the dawn so tidy up yer gear and gird up the loins to fight for what it right.
Your absolutely right though. Reguvinate the spirit from time to time with good music and maybe some peace and tranquilty out in nature away from the rat race.

This one always lifts me. It starts from the bottom of the rung than builds up to greatness.
The whole theme is striving to be better.
It starts out alone and by the end all are working together in a common goal...
E Pluribus Unum
One of my favs......

Believe it or not I have the Henson on vinyl. Not exactly uplifting but another from the same time period youll probably remember:
I love Cohen's original but I think Buckley made it his, like Hendrix made Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower." his, and even upped it a notch. Thanks for posting, definitely uplifting.
I reckon we come from different generations. Respectfully, what would be the name of that genre of music? Not alt rock.
While I cant say I really findmost of it uplifting I did enjoy the Heilung (healing) as it was so different. Probably sound great on a good system.
Got it, experimental folk...
Heilung - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heilung
Heilung is an experimental folk band, with members from Denmark, Norway and Germany. Their music is based on texts from artifacts of the Iron Age and the Viking Age.They describe their music as "amplified history from early medieval northern Europe".

Who will answer,..yes I remember it will. Many a re-up NCO an officer used it to play on ones flag waving ability.
Skip a rope,... has some very sobering words many seem/ed to miss, back then. Course many people hear the words to all songs but, fail to hear the words that speak the truth most of the time.
This would be complete w/o a little CCR
This one has history with me an some guys I ran with. When the song came out (we were out of green/hide'y rags then) we burn't up a few phone lines talking about the song as all of us had labeled a local slit tail across the pond, a voodoo bitch.
I don't have issues separating entertainment from activism, or Ac-Tors from their beliefs, for if I did there would not be entertainment of any kind at all. Some people throw out the baby with the wash, an if that suites them fine. I see things different for if I did not I could make a case against most all of the right wing, Ac-Tors, w/o breaking a sweat. Running through the jungle fit a time slot for me an many, many more as did many songs from those days. Some like Bad moon rising had the words changed to V/N to a tee, an I'm guessing there are a few on this board who don't post much, that could pound it out, if ask nicely.
why do you think I am on the hide. this is true infotainment
Good answer. I have trouble doing that at times.
John Fogerty was an amazing talent. Wrote, sung, and played lead guitar on 99% of their music. The others were just filler.
I dont know @Erno86......
I thought the reason for the original post was to take our minds off of the "conflicts" in our world, a few moments of escape, but like a good leftist you are invested in promoting the division...

It kind of went south a while back but thats ok.
My only real complaint is his uploading so many videos really slows the download.
I do love Apocalypse Now.
Its good music all around, just in some cases doesnt provide the escape from reality sought.
Interesting aside TCM had "Hollywood Canteen" on the other night.
Circa 1944 film designed to support the troops offer a little escape from 3 years of war.
Lots of Hollywood heavy hitters from the day supporting the effort.
My 10 year old daughter got captured by it and the musical acts therein...

Alright, now you went and dun it;
(too bad about the background noise clicks......)
(Amazing stagecraft, if you stop and really watch what is happening......)
Ha, ha......when I was in college, I worked as a stagehand. We did the annual Seattle Opera Wagner "Ring Festival" in August of every summer. I worked in the props department and my primary job (+ many secondary jobs) was to keep the alcohol lamps on the sets stoked before each new scene. Couldn't tell you which scene it was, but I had just refilled the lamps with a combination of alcohol and granulated sugar (made the lamps burn yellow and longer). Welp, I accidentally overfilled one of them and the alcohol was running down the front of the (fiberglass) set. It was a potential fire hazard and the curtain was going up in about 6 seconds. I took a diving swipe at the flame plume going down the fiberglass set piece, managing to put it out as I dove behind the set-piece as the curtain rose. I couldn't tell you which character it was, but the absolutely, cutest girl in the production was standing right above me on the set, my view being right up her skirt. I spent about 20 minutes, on my back, looking up her skirt, from behind the onstage set-piece, doing nothing other than enjoying the view. She knew exactly what was going on, seemed to be enjoying it, but unfortunately, we never connected afterwards.......Oh well.
Good story, I had something similar happen at the gym at UVA except she had nothing on under her gym shorts.
The Orff is a bit strange for my tastes. Ray Manzerak of the doors did a version of it thats interesting.
Although......The absolute best ever was when I worked the Props Department for IATSE Local 15 at the Seattle 5th Avenue Theater production of "Colette", featuring none other than Ms. Dianna Rigg (Ms. Emma Peele of the (original) Avengers). I had a raging, adolescent hard on for her, in her skintight leather outfits, co-starring with Patrick MacNee. She was such a fox.
Anyway.....as part of the Props crew, it was my job to stand in number 2 offstage left wing, holding her terrycloth robe as she came running offstage, topless, at the end of her finale. I will remember her beautiful, bouncing boobies running toward me until the day I die. She'd come running offstage and literally dive into the robe I was holding. Gawd, talk about someone that wanted to take it to the next level.......But, She really was a classy woman and I didn't want to do anything that would upset that balance. I think, at that time, she was probably twice my age (22 vs 40-44). Not that that would have mattered to even young, dumb me....Had I tasted that once, but never had seconds, I probably would have found a number of bridges to jump off of.....

Man. Tough gig. Some guys are just lucky.
Yeah, I was 22 and just a dumb kid. Talk about dumb luck. That's all it was......However, an experience of a lifetime.
