Thank you from the bottom of my heart for showcasing this song today. Not only is it one of my island songs, but I had the wonderful opportunity to see him perform, In Your Eyes, in Detroit, with a full repertoire of singers and musicians. It was one of the most beautiful and inspiring pieces I’ve ever heard. The African influence/rhythms just grab you by your socks and take over. It’s impossible to sit still.
Well, holy cow. I never knew this, and I love this song. Now I know the real meaning behind it. Thanks @timfromkickingharold
…Regarding a song sung by Michael Jackson
There are times when added words do no justice. This is one of those times. Watch his face. Listen to his words. See what this melody and the luscious voice of Art Garfunkel do this man. BTW, Sliver Girl is …
Been following Fil of Wings of Pegasus for a long time. Love his commentaries and the above is no exception. This time he’s caught a guy who is clearly misrepresenting himself as a contestant on America’s Got Talent, not once, but on multiple occasions. Incredible, don’t you think???
Hey you. Ya you, the music labels of the industry. Enough is enough. I’m here with millions of others to fight the fight for FAIR USE! You’ve gotten away with the nonsense of harassing the wonderful people who bring the best of the best to their audiences, only to be plagued with so called infractions of your rules. They’re tired of it. So are we.
Different countries/regions have different rules about when it’s OK to use material without the copyright owner’s permission. For example, in the United States, works of commentary, criticism, research, teaching, or news reporting might be considered fair use. In the case regarding the Professor of Rock, every video he has produced falls under the Fair Use Act, yet he and others such as Rick Beato, continue to fight against claims brought against them. While many of these claims come from the music industry, lately illegitimate ones are being spawned by no-names simply trying to make a quick buck.
You may say, well so what. If they ain’t legit, what’s the big deal? Well, that’s where it gets sticky because any strike against you, counts. Doesn’t seem fair, or right? You got that, but as you’ll see, a strike is a strike is a strike…
As many of you know have heard by now, Brian Wilson, the musical genius of Beach Boys fame, passed away earlier this week. Rest in peace.
Growing up, I’ve always appreciated Brian, his songs and his voice. I remember getting my first Beach Boys album, courtesy of a very kind neighbor in Detroit. One of the songs that always stood out – God Only Knows – the lyrics, the melody and those soaring, spiritual harmonies. Goosebump material. Hearing it again this morning evokes the same feelings, except now, it’s even more intense.
It appears that I’m not alone in my assessment, for hearing numerous interviews with fans and artists, it seems that many feel this is THE PERFECT SONG! I know I will never tire of hearing it. I’m including it on my desert island. Bring on the Coronas and lime…
