Gilbert O`Sullivan - CLAIR

Gilbert`s classic world-wide hit from 1972 . There are many videos of Gilbert performing this song - but none of them capture the spirit of the record . I thought it was time the song got the kind of video it deserves ! If you haven`t seen this footage before , it was filmed for promotional purposes when the single was released - but music videos weren`t commonly used back in 1972 !

It features Clair Mills herself - the daughter of his manager Gordon Mills for whom Gilbert used to baby-sit in the early days of their partnership . He wrote the song as a gift for her parents to say thanks for everything they had done for him . Hope you enjoy this video of Clair having fun with ` Uncle Ray `

http://youtu.be/sU9fClvdo5s

Clair, the moment I met you, I swear

I felt as if something, somewhere

Had happened to me, which I couldn't see

And then, the moment I met you, again

I knew in my heart that we were friends

It had to be so, it couldn't be no

 

But try as hard as I might do, I don't know why

You get to me in a way I can't describe

Words mean so little when you look up and smile

I don't care what people say

To me you're more than a child

 

Oh, Clair

Clair

 

Clair, if ever a moment so rare

Was captured for all to compare

That moment is you in all that you do

But why in spite of our age difference do I cry

Each time I leave you I feel I could die

Nothing means more to me than hearing you say

"I'm going to marry you

Will you marry me, Uncle Ray ? "

 

Oh, Clair

Clair

 

Clair, I've told you before "Don't you dare"

"Get back into bed"

"Can't you see that it's late"

"No you can't have a drink"

"Oh, alright then, but wait just a bit "

 

While I, in an effort to babysit, capture my breath

What there is left of it

You can be murder at this hour of the day

But in the morning this hour will seem a lifetime away

Oh Clair

Clair

Oh Clair

 

Gilbert O'Sullivan - Alone Again (original version)

http://youtu.be/D_P-v1BVQn8

In a little while from now

If I'm not feeling any less sour

I promise myself to treat myself

And visit a nearby tower

And climbing to the top

Will throw myself off

In an effort to make clear to whomever

What it's like when you're shattered

Left standing in the lurch

At a church where people saying

My God, that's tough, she stood him up

No point in us remaining

We may as well go home

As I did on my own

Alone again, naturally

 

To think that only yesterday

I was cheerful, bright, and gay

Looking forward to, well, who wouldn't do

The role I was about to play

But, as if to knock me down

Reality came around

And without so much as a mere touch

Cut me into little pieces

Leaving me to doubt

Talk about God in His mercy

Who, if He really does exist

Why did He desert me?

And in my hour of need

I truly am, indeed

Alone again, naturally

 

It seems to me that there are more hearts

Broken in the world that can't be mended

Left unattended

What do we do?

What do we do?

 

Alone again, naturally

 

Now, looking back over the years

And whatever else that appears

I remember I cried when my father died

Never wishing to hide the tears

And at sixty-five years old

My mother, God rest her soul

Couldn't understand why the only man

She had ever loved had been taken

Leaving her to start

With a heart so badly broken

Despite encouragement from me

No words were ever spoken

And when she passed away

I cried and cried all day

Alone again, naturally

Alone again, naturally

[Parni_Valjak]

The short story of APHRODITE'S CHILD starts in 1968, when the Greek/Egyptian bassist and vocalist named Artemios Ventouris Roussos (Demis Roussos) and the powerful drummer Lucas Sideras were supposed to meet the multi instrumentalist Evengelio Odyssey Papathanassiou (VANGELIS) who had left his first group FORMINXS, but the first two were not admitted to England because they had no working permits but custom officers discovered photos and tapes in their luggage so they assumed the musicians intended to stay.

 

A few months later the three musicians join in Paris with Anargyros Koulouris (Silver Koulouris) a very competent guitar player and they decide to form a new band which was supposed to mix traditional Greek music with Western Pop and Psychedelia, but they ended doing much more than was expected.

 

Due to their financial situation they had to sign a terrible contract with a record company. Soon after the birth of the band, Silver Kouloris has to leave the group because he was called for his Military Service and only joins again for the recording of their last album 666, during these years Demis Roussos has to play guitar and bass.

 

Their first two releases "End of the World" (which includes two hit singles, "Rain and Tears" and "I Want To Live", the last one reached N° 1 in most Europe) and "It's Five O'Clock" showed a commercial oriented band with a very peculiar sound, but it's not until 1970, when they start to record the brilliant and adventurous "666" that they get a place in progressive Rock history even when the relation inside the band was at the lowest point, mostly because VANGELIS wanted to do more serious music than Lucas Sideras and Roussos.

 

The paradox is that this masterpiece which combines 100% Symphonic structure, British Psychedelia, Greek Orthodox Religious music with a touch of pop was only released in 1972 (after the band had already split) due to several reasons like the controversial concept ("The Book of Revelations"), the confession made by the band that "666" was conceived under the influence of Sahlep (some people believed this word was referred to some kind of pagan divinity when in fact it's a common non alcoholic beverage from Turkey) and the track "Infinity" sung by the great actress Irene Papas which is really a five minutes orgasm.

 

After APHRODITE'S CHILD disbanded, the members took different paths, like Roussos who became a well known pop singer and VANGELIS who is still a respected Progressive/New Age artist, but none of their later works will have the importance of "666", an Icon of Progressive Rock and one of the first conceptual albums in history.

Aphrodite's Child - It's Five O'Clock

http://youtu.be/l4WkKLmbBQo

It's five o'clock

And I walk through the empty streets

Thoughts fill my head

But then still

No one speaks to me

My mind takes me back

To the years that have passed me by

 

It is so hard te believe

That it's me

That I see

In the window pane

It it so hard to believe

That all this the way

That it has to be

It's five o'clock

And I walk through the empty streets

The night is my friend

And in him

I find sympathy

Thus so

And so I go back to the years that have past me by

 

It is so hard to believe

That it's me

That I see

In the window pane

It it so hard to believe

That all this the way

That it has to be

 

It's five o'clock

And I walk through the empty streets

The night is my friend

And in him I find sympathy

He gives me day

Gives me hope

And a little dream too

 

RAIN AND TEARS - APHRODITE'S CHILD

http://youtu.be/gtz5XTtbz4M

Rain and tears, are the same

But in the sun

You've got to play the game

 

When you cry

In winter time

You can pretend

It's nothing but the rain

 

How many times I've seen

Tears coming from your blue eyes

 

Rain and tears, are the same

But in the sun

You've got to play the game

 

Give me an answer, love

(o----ooohhh)

I need an answer, love

(o----ooohhh)

Rain and tears in the sun

But in your heart

You feel the rainbow waves

 

Rain and tears

Both I shun

For in my heart there 'll never be a sun

 

Rain and tears, are the same

But in the sun

You've got to play the game

Game ..

http://youtu.be/IbjhJ8PE3eM

Sometimes I feel

That I'm all alone

And I wonder what I'd do

If I couldn't turn to you

You are all my life

And more

take this love I give

Marie Jolie

Marie Jolie

 

The seasons change

But love remains

Growing like a rose in spring

All the summer sun can bring

I will find when I'm with you

You are all I have

Marie Jolie

Marie Jolie

 

I know there'll be

Sad times for me

But as long as you are there

I know that I'll need not to care

Love is everywhere you are

My life is the girl

Marie Jolie

Marie Jolie

 

But if you keep your love from me

I will have no way to turn

I will find it hard to learn

Living life without a dream

Which way will I be

I see a red door and I want it painted black

No colours anymore, I want them to turn black

I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes

I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

 

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black

With flowers and my love both never to come back

I see people turn their heads and quickly look away

Like a newborn baby, it just happens every day

 

I look inside myself and see my heart is black

I see my red door and must have it painted black

Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts

It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black

 

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue

I could not foresee this thing happening to you

If I look hard enough into the settin' sun

My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes

 

I see a red door and I want it painted black

No colours anymore, I want them to turn black

I see the girls go by dressed in their summer clothes

I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

 

Hmm...

 

I wanna see your face painted black

Black as night, black as coal

I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky

I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black, yeah!

 

Hmm...

It is the evening of the day,

I sit and watch the children play.

Smiling faces I can see, but not for me,

I sit and watch as tears go by.

 

My riches can't buy ev'rything,

I want to hear the children sing.

All I hear is the sound of rain falling on the ground,

I sit and watch as tears go by.

 

It is the evening of the day,

I sit and watch the children play.

Doin' things I used to do they think are new.

I sit and watch as tears go by.

Dear Mister Fantasy play us a tune

Something to make us all happy

Do anything take us out of this gloom

Sing a song, play guitar

Make it snappy

You are the one who can make us all laugh

But doing that you break out in tears

Please don't be sad if it was a straight mind you had

We wouldn't have known you all these years

Едно лирическо отклонение назад във времето, когато музиката беше... музика.

Artie Shaw - Begin The Beguine Final

Arthur Jacob Arshawsky (May 23, 1910 – December 30, 2004), better known as Artie Shaw, was an American jazz clarinetist, composer, and bandleader. He was also the author of both fiction and non-fiction writings.

Widely regarded as "one of jazz's finest clarinetists", Shaw led one of America's most popular big bands of the late 1930s and early '40s. Their signature song, a 1938 version of Cole Porter's "Begin the Beguine", was a wildly successful single and one of the era's defining recordings. Musically restless, Shaw was also an early proponent of Third Stream, which blended classical and jazz, and recorded some small-group sessions that flirted with be-bop before retiring from music in 1954.

Listen to the wind blow

Watch the sun rise

Run in the shadows

Damn your love

Damn your lies

And if

You don't love me now

You will never love me again

I can still hear you saying

You would never break the chain.

List to the wind blow

Down comes the night

Run in the shadows

Damn your love

Damn your lies

Break the silence

Damn the dark

Damn the light

And if

You don't love me now

You will never love me again

I can still hear you saying

You would never break the chain.

Well, I can't forget this evening

And your face when you were leaving

But I guess that's just the way the story goes

You always smile, but in your eyes your sorrow shows

Yes it shows

 

Well I can't forget tomorrow

When I think of all my sorrow

I had you there, but then I let you go

And now it's only fair that I should let you know

What you should know

 

I can't live

If living is without you

I can't live

I can't give anymore

I can't live

If living is without you

I can't live

I can't give anymore

 

Well, I can't forget this evening

And your face when you were leaving

But I guess that's just the way the story goes

San Francisco - Scott McKenzie

"San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)" is a song, written by John Phillips of The Mamas & the Papas, and sung by Scott McKenzie. It was written and released in June 1967 to promote the Monterey Pop Festival.

In Central Europe, young people adopted "San Francisco" as an anthem for freedom, and it was widely played during Czechoslovakia's 1968 Prague Spring uprising against Soviet rule.

If you're going to San Francisco

Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair

If you're going to San Francisco

You're gonna meet some gentle people there

 

For those who come to San Francisco

Summertime will be a love-in there

In the streets of San Francisco

Gentle people with flowers in their hair

 

All across the nation

Such a strange vibration

People in motion

 

There's a whole generation

With a new explanation

People in motion

People in motion

Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair

If you come to San Francisco

Summertime will be a love-in there

Morning has broken like the first morning

Blackbird has spoken like the first bird

Praise for the singing, praise for the morning

Praise for them springing fresh from the Word

 

Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from Heaven

Like the first dew fall on the first grass

Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden

Sprung in completeness where His feet pass

 

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning

Born of the One Light Eden saw play

Praise with elation, praise every morning

God's recreation of the new day

 

Morning has broken like the first morning

Blackbird has spoken like the first bird

Praise for the singing, praise for the morning

Praise for them springing fresh from the Word

Goddess on the mountain top

Burning like a silver flame

The summit of beauty and love

And Venus was her name

 

She’s got it

Yeah baby she’s got it

I’m your Venus

I’m your fire

At your desire

Well I’m your Venus

I’m your fire

At your desire

 

Her weapons were her crystal eyes

Making every man go mad

Black as the dark night she was

Got what no-one else had

Wa!

 

She’s got it

Yeah baby she’s got it

I’m your Venus

I’m your fire

At your desire

Well I’m your Venus

 

I’m your fire

Yeah baby she’s got it

I’m your Venus

I’m your fire
