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.

"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.

HOLY COW. I just heard Pearl Jam's new song: It's a cover of THE WHO's "Love Rain on Me". Pretty damn impressive. Not an easy act to copy!
The song is titled "Love Reign O'er Me" ;) and Pearl Jam covered t because of the new Adam Sandler film Reign Over Me.

Thanks. I'm first to admit my Who-Fu is weak. I still tend to call Baba O'reily "Teenage Wasteland". But at least I don't call "Who Are You" the Theme from CSI :D
