What are some good songs to listen to while you're feeling depressed?
Incredibly good question Jerald..Two ways to view the question..are you at the introspective end of a run of depression..?Or are you at the “devastating public flogging” end of a run of depression?“Being Depressed” is a funny thing…many take the idea of depressing personal moments as primarily of a romantic question..and a more “daily” depression being more benign and frankly, of a nature that could be construed as “less consequential” in society..LOL.So I’m thinking I’m going to not worry about the “romantic/platonic” question and simply say..The clip below is something I have listened to many times over the past twenty three years..because I’m wallowing and I know I am going to continue to be depressed for hours to come..”introspective”. ..The usual funk/disco sorta’ thing to get myself out of a depressed state is something I will leave for another time.The tune is called “Damage”..it’s about a tragic break-up I suppose..however,the tune has never been that sort of tune for me..it’s just a sad tune that I love ..and indeed I listen to it at these times as I mentioned earlier..the tune is written by the vocalist, David Sylvian.Some may remember his (if you will) New Wave group from the late 70’s/early 80’s..they were called “Japan”.Sylvian is one of the greatest songwriters I have ever heard..and here he is joined by the incomparable Robert Fripp-the mastermind of (arguably) the greatest prog band of all time, King Crimson..along with the great Trey Gunn on Chapman Stick..This song could indeed be called depressed in nature..but brilliant?Absolutely.Incidentally, I also love listening to “The Days Of Wine & Roses” ..an old standard that originated in Hollywood..Many jazz musicians have performed it over the years....and Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony..especially the second movement..and if you can hear it conducted by Karajan that’s gonna’ be a plus.Best to you..
Why do you think the Founding Fathers placed age restrictions on representatives and senators?
Maturity and to weed out those who have no experience. Most of the Founding Fathers were experienced men who saw what atrocious Government can do to people. Now what if there was a 22 year old Senator fresh out of college, come on, the thought is dreadful. I loved what the Fathers did, they knew that some issues were going to be tough to handle so they knew that needed people with experience to handle them.
Liberalism? Conservative? What do these really mean?
Wow...good job! Pretty much sums it up and yeah...prepare to be attacked with namecalling. I'm sure they are on their way!
What are some rock songs in 6/8 time?
The songs will be listed in chronollogical order by album. As the original questionee didn't specify how they define a rock song, this list casts a very wide net. It includes rock ballads, heavy acts where I am not quite sure whether it actually is heavy metal, as well as songs technically in other genres performed by rock acts Or rock-ish songs by pop bands. I will also include songs that change meters and therefore are only partially in 6/8. I’ll also try to weed out songs in swing or shuffle time that might seem to some to be in 6/8.Here goes:Pearl Jam Backspacer: Speed of SoundPearl Jam: Come BackRiot Act: I Am Mine; 1/2 FullYield: Low LightNo Code: Red MosquitoVS: Elderly WomanTen: Deep; ReleaseGoo Goo DollsDizzy Up The Girl: Iris; SlideJeff BuckleySketches for "My Sweetheart the Drunk": Satisfied MindGrace (Legacy Edition): Mojo Pin; Grace; Hallelujah; Lover, You Should've Come Over; Forget Her; I Want Someone Badly;A Perfect CircleMer de noms: The Hollow; Rose (partially in 3/4); Judith; Orestes; 3 Libras (partially in 3/4)Pink FloydThe Final Cut: Your Possible PastsWish You Where Here: Shine On You Crazy Diamond 1-9(Partially 6/8);The Dark Side of the Moon: EclipseMore (Soundtrack): More BluesThe Piper at the Gates of Dawn: Astronomy Domine;QueenA Kind of Magic: One Year of LoveNews of the World: We Are The ChampionsA Day at the Races: Somebody to Love; DrowseA Night at the Opera: I'm in Love With My CarSheer Heart Attack: In the Lap of the Gods...RevisitedLed ZeppelinLed Zeppelin I: Dazed and ConfusedLed Zeppelin III: Since I’ve Been Loving YouLed Zeppelin IV: Four Sticks
