Loves the "Funny" Button
Please let me know if this has been done somewhere else and we can pull it, and perhaps, start up the old one again if anyone's interested?
Since the old IRC, mIRC and "Prodigy" days (*groan!*), people have always loved to share their favorite music with others, no matter the genre. On several of the forums I've been with, and a couple I'm still involved with, there are always a few of folks like me who like to play DJ and "spin the vinyl" (ha!), make playlists for folks, etc. But here (without insult to the former, of course), since you guys are all astute, intelligent, creative and fun adults with few, if any, kiddos posting here, I thought it might be neat for any interested members to post their own fav. songs, playlists, tracks, homemade musical compilations, etc. Maybe post a little blurb about why you like the song, what it reminds you of, stuff like that.
K. If you think it's goofy and boring, I get it; if it's been done, we'll have it nuked, but if music of any/all varieties has been an integral part of your life like it has mine and you wanna post some, groovy bay-bey. 8-B <---- Either Austin Powers or Spongebob.
My personal musical tastes run the gamut from Classical, Opera, Acapella Solo/Arai/Choral, Fine Performance and Formal Choral arrangements, to dirty, dirty, Southern Blues, Jazz and R & B, to 50's - mid 90's pop, all Classic Rock, Hard Rock, Acid Rock, Heavy Metal, Grunge, Alternative, Punk, Pop Country, some Screamo, *good* old-school Hip-Hop, and well, you get the idea. So, that's me.
Supposed to be beautiful today, so the Cabriolet top comes down, and I'm gonna pop in an old early 80's compilation CD I made that's always a good choice to get me in a happy mood (kinda like Bach, but reeeeeally different, lol). Don't know why I started with these guys, but anyone remember Triumph? They're great when I'm in a Triumph, Cheap Trick, Yes, kinda mood. If you're a pop rock fan, a little bubble-gummy, but really great, perk you up & getcha goin' music to cruise to work with. Best if you crank it and try to blow your Subs whilst pissing off the masses at stoplights. 18 Gold and 9 Platinum ain't half bad, either.
Magic Power" - by Triumph
Lyrics:
Somethin's at the edge of your mind
You don't know what it is
Somethin' you were hopin' to find
Your not sure what it is
Then you hear the music
And it all comes crystal clear
The music does the talkin'
Says the things you want to hear
I'm young, I'm wild
And I'm free
I got the magic power
Of the music in me
I'm young, I'm wild
And I'm free
I got the magic power
Of the music in me
She climbs into bed, she pulls the covers overhead
And she turns her little radio on
She's had a rotten day so she hopes
The D J's gonna play her favorite song
It makes her feel much better
Brings her closer to her dreams
A little magic power
Makes it better that it seems
She's young now, she's wild now
She wants to be free
She gets the magic power
Of the music from me
She's young now, she's wild now
She wants to be free
She gets the magic power
Of the music from me
If you're thinkin' it over
But you just can't sort it out
Do you want someone to tell you
What they think it's all about?
Are you the one and only who's sad and lonely
You're reachin' for the top
Well the music keeps you goin'
And it's never gonna stop
It's never gonna stop
It's never gonna, never gonna
Never gonna, never gonna
Never gonna stop
The world is full of compromise
The infinite red tape
But the music's got the magic
It's your one chance for escape
So turn me on, turn me up
It's your turn to dream
A little magic power
Makes it better than it seems
I'm young now, I'm wild now
I want to be free
I got the magic power
Of the music in me
I'm young now, I'm wild
And I'm free
I got the magic power
Of the music, I got the music in me
I got the power, I got the magic
She's got the power, she's got the magic
She's got the power, she's got the magic
She's got the power, she's got the magic

Hold On" - by Triumph
Lyrics:
Music holds the secret
To know it can make you whole
It's not just a game of notes
It's the sounds inside your soul
Magic of the melody
Runs through you like a stream
The notes that play flow through your head
Like a dream, like a dream
I sing this song for the common man
For the people in despair
I bring my song into the world
And I sing it everywhere
The simple truth lies waitin' here
For everyone to share
So hold on, and I will take you there
Hold on and I will take you there
Daily routine takes your soul
Lost without a trace
It hold you down and turns you 'round
And puts you in your place
Another day, another dollar
Another pretty face
Another chance to lose yourself
In the endless race
Hold on, hold on to your dreams
Hold on, even though it seems
Everyone around you has their little schemes
Listen to your heart and hold on to your dreams
Can't you feel the magic?
Feel it everywhere
Can't you hear the music?
There's something in the air
There's a celebration
Deep within a song
Celebrate this feeling
You know it can't be wrong
Hold on, hold on to your dreams
Hold on, even though it seems
Everyone around you has their little schemes
Listen to your heart and hold on to your dreams
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Caught up in routine, you got to break it
Time won't wait for us, we got to make it
Fate gives you the chance, you've got to take it, take it
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
