Hi Tasman This is Candy Team entry Give me sun Give me dirt Give me water Give me sweet everlasting love
Sit.. watch.. think.. Respire. Imagine a world........ where everything you once loved is destroyed.. where the simplest pleasures you take for granted.. have to be fabricated.. Imagine.. Respire.
I chose this video as I take the outdoors for granted, I spend too long inside and don't make the most of it. This is the chilling reality of what could happen in the future. The music is also very relaxing.. or is it?
I've kinda taken the theme and twisted it a little bit. I can just listen to this song and relax but it also gives me the chills when I haven't listened to it for a while. It's from the BBC's Children in Need 2006 Appeal thingo with Doctor Who, and basically its the song when Rose and the Doctor get split up.
"More Than Words" is a ballad written by and originally performed by rock band Extreme. It is built around intricate acoustic guitar work by Nuno Bettencourt and the vocals of Gary Cherone (with harmony vocals from Bettencourt), it was released in 1990 on the album Extreme II: Pornograffiti. This song features rich and beautiful melodic lines, harmonies and chords. It has been an extremely popular piece around the world and is a piece loved by all musicians due to its subtle nature and sophistication.
I love Jamiroquai and find their funky music so addictive. When I found this clip of one of my fav songs I knew it was perfect for 'chillin'. The only problem with Jamiroquai doesn't put out new albums/songs often enough.
The Turkey trip that you've heard so little about has been crammed into a 4 minute music video for all to see. I can't get enough of this utterly beautiful song. I can listen to it ad nauseum without growing tired of it; plus it brings back some very fond memories of a trip that was over all too soon.
I was laying in bed one night, dead tired, half asleep with SBS going on the telly in the background. Then SBS shutdown for the night, their little weather maps and background music came on ….and then this …it was haunting and beautiful. Turns out it’s a Tibetan chant.
How about people PM me with who they 'think' will win and who will come second, NOT necessarily who they have voted for ....just who they think will win and come second ....and I'll work out some bookie odds to post for your entertainment
ps. I won't post any odds until several people have PM'd
I know who I'll be ranking 1st and 2nd, however I'm tossing up between 3 entries for last place. There are a few videos that I couldn't care for (to put it politely ).
And tomorrow I'll see if I can create some kind of template for the results show.
