Ternaugh Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Re: What Are You Listening To Right Now? "The Golden Age of Steam", by Steve Hackett (GTR and early Genesis). This one's from his "Darktown" album, which is fittingly dark and brooding. "The Golden Age of Steam" has a lush, orchestral quality to it, with a driving melody, with a cheerful feel to it. Contrast that with the lyrics, 12 years old in Amsterdam in 1939 A blue-eyed boy my clean complexion always got me by A boy with real potential sold secrets by the score Where refugees were hiding I’d just point out the doors In the golden age of steam I learned those German songs I had to stay alive there was no right or wrong In the golden age of steam The fatherland was rising the world would hear the roar Both sides fed and trusted me in 1944 Trains ran on time those days oiling the machine Smoke rose up like serpents I was barely seventeen In the golden age of steam It’s over now but not somehow I was a hero then to many men Switzerland was a short ride for an eager blond haired boy With a silver smile and loaded with jewelery to enjoy Maybe one day they’ll come for me they’ll take me from my bed A soldier of fortune that’s what my passport read In the golden age of steam I keep on wanting to run a Pulp/WW II game and use this as the theme song.

Ternaugh Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Re: What Are You Listening To Right Now? "Heaven's Light/Hellfire" from The Hunchback of Notre Dame soundtrack (Disney). Really amazed that the "Hellfire" part of the song made the cut. It's right up there with "Johanna" from Sweeney Todd in both format and subject matter, though with less self-flagellation.
