You've listened to Apocalyptica! Yay! It's so good! Please don't say that, it's so good! Heavy metal with cellos!!! I like cello music such as: Croatian cellist duo, Luka Ε uliΔ and Stjepan Hauser. I was just in the mood for Apocalyptica's Metallica covers with cellos... It is different but good! Well I'm glad you like it.

*wonders what Apocalyptica's covers of Stevie Ray Vaughan's music would sound like*...

Clodagh Simonds had been singing on Mike Oldfield's "Ommadawn". Only last year or the year before that i learned that she and her small band called Mellow Candle had once release an album called "Swaddling Songs". That album was extremely diffoicult to acquire, I read, but a few years ago Esoteric Records had re-released it on CD. The version i got doesn't have any bonus tracks, but Wikipedia says that some versions of this re-release (Japanese ones, I suspect) have the the very first single of the group as bonus tracks. However, the album is impressive. Such strong female voices ! And very fast singing, too ! They were yound at that time. Around 20, I guess, or even younger. This explains to me the force behind he songs. These are very strong songs, nothing to relax to. Full of emotion, I just can't say it any other way. Very strong female voices - Clodagh and her friend, as far as I understood it. Yet, I still don't know what "swaddling" means ... Must be an English word at least ...

Swaddling has to do with wrapping a baby in blankets so that they are warm and can't move around much.

Ah, so that's why there is a young mother holding a baby on the inside cover of the album !

...so I decided to build a Christmas playlist with various artists.
I discovered this Christian folk hymn, "I Wonder as I Wander", typically performed as a Christmas carol, written by American folklorist and singer John Jacob Niles. I like the music video version of "I Wonder as I Wander" by this Russian artist, Simon Khorolskiy. His other music videos are also spectacular, especially "I Am Dreaming of the Mountains".

Marco Hietala leaves Nightwish and publicity. π No-one else here likes heavymetal so don't mind me, I'm just talking by myself.

A fun fact: they played a part of Finlandia by the Finnish national composer Sibelius in the inauguration of Biden claiming it was an American composer and now they're investigating it, did anyone notice?

Interesting. Surely mostly Finns would have recognized it. It is a bit of a scandal because this piece of music is still copyrighted and recognizes the royalties it collects to rightholders.
Meanwhile I am hearing Beethoven's Symphony no. 7 in a major: allegretto everywhere in films and tv series... Notably in In the 2010 historical drama film The King's Speech, the second movement is used during King George's climactic speech at Buckingham Palace after the commencement of the country's involvement in World War II. The slow build up of the movement "accents his struggle and his perseverance".

"I Wonder as I Wander" can sound so mournful, depending on the singer and tempo. I like it.
Didn't hear the Sibelius part, but the inauguration went on for hours and after I while I had too much else to do to listen. That's funny, I'll have to check up on it!
Really enjoyed The King's Speech movie.

Plus, the Sibelius heirs are very strict when it comes to copyrights and granting permissions, so that's why using it on the inauguration festivities broke the news also here. I know the melody is a commonly known Christian hymn (Be Still My Soul), but I have never even thought of using that hymn as part of my church gigs due to possible misunderstanding...!

Sibelius ... Hm, someone liked that ... I think it was Mike Oldfield ...
The other day I remembered anotther flute player (apart from Les Penning) whose music I had liked a lot in my youth, as a late teenager. His name is Hans-JΓΌrgen Hufeisen, and I doubt that anyone here knows him I have bought the CD of him I liked tback then a lot : "Domino", and I'm currently listening to it.
A few days ago I had bought myself a kind of "tribute" album to the Alan Parsons Project : "A Pilot Project". The story behind that is interesting : Pilot was the band from The Alan Parsons Project, those who did all the music. Now, after the Project no longer existing in its original form (there still exists a form of it as the "Alan Parsons Live Project" or so), the band Pilot played again several songs fro0m the Alan Parsons Project and released that on CD. The album's name is "A Pilot Project", shortened into APP, which is the same as Apal Parsons Project APP as well !

Listening to the 2Cellos' cover of "May It Be"... on this nice peaceful morning. A lot of musicians have covered Enya's "May It Be". Thanks, alrik and everyone, I am following up on the suggestions that is being made in this thread. The joys of searching for music on YouTube in the 21st century...

Getting vibes of 'Linkin Park' and 'Evanescence' from 'Blind Channel'. Vaguely reminiscent of early 2000s. Rebellion rock.
