Some truly old school guitar, I guess some might technically call it surf, but it's from a Finnish guitar band from the '60s, The Spotnicks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yf75d5i4hSU My friend was asking about who made one of their guitars from another video, and my only response, in a poorly done Russian accent was, "Is from Soviet institute of guitar making!"
"Another solar year begins. Death and rebirth, both physical and metaphorical. As we celebrate Winter Solstice, we offer this symbolic sacrifice for you to partake. Two songs which carry great weight and meaning for us. The first of which is the closing ritual from our new album All Tree, called Closing Circles. The sun’s course reaches it’s lowest noon altitude and we mark the end and the beginning of another year of light. Closing Circles bids fare well to those we have lost. Light illuminates the darkness and we are purged and renewed once more, to shine onwards. Fire Of The Mind is one of the most beautiful songs I know. Fire destroys, but also gives and supports life, sparks and inspires it. As Dostoyevsky wrote that “fire is in the minds of men” and transforms the substance of our universe. Ordinary transformed into the extraordinary. It is what separates us from the rest of the animals, but as we use it we are also doomed to play with it. It is in effect magic and the pursuit of magic. When we see fire, we are reminded of the magic inherent in the universe and within ourselves, of the “fire of the mind”. One such band who knew about music as a magical art form was Coil. We hope you enjoy these two songs we offer you. May you have a blessed winter solstice and hold those you love dearly close. The blacker the sun, the darker the dawn." -Hexvessel, on the occasion of the 2018 Winter Solstice
@LadyRhian , I have that CD. The guy who sits across from me at work was talking about seeing Winston in concert and seemed genuinely surprised that I knew who he was talking about.
This boats sinking down to the ocean floor
I’m still drinking, drinking from the night before
I’m wishing, wishing right now I was fishing
I’m thinking, I’m thinking but my mind’s not listening
I never felt so far away
I never lived before day
It’s been awhile since I’ve seen your face
It’s been awhile, time to turn the page
[Chorus]
I wanna know, I want to know
I want to feel the way I did
I want to go, I want to go
back, back to the way it was
I got a good feeling, and this feeling won’t go away
I’m not leaving, I’m waiting for a brighter day
And I believe it, that good things are coming our way
So keep dreaming, I’m feeling like I’m dreaming always
It never felt this strange to me
My guitar is all all I need
It’s been awhile since I’ve been down this road
And it’s been awhile, good things come and go
If the sun is getting closer
Then why does it feel cold?
And in the eyes of the world I’m older
I can’t take it much longer
[Chorus]
I wanna know, I want to know
I want to feel the way I did
I want to go, I want to go
back, back to the way it was
Just a little bit longer, the music making us stronger
In the eyes of the world
I always found Sabaton's songs dedicated to the defeated party more haunting and emotional (e.g. Poltava or Final Solution), but this time they outdid themselves. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVWEb-At8yc
It's summer and time for the surf music again!
The Ghastly Ones - Werewolves On Wheels https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvEIl89HEVc
Some of the most badass fuzz guitar around.
Totally not surf, but always makes me think of Summer, and it's my favorite version of the song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bn5TNqjuHiU
The guitarist for Big Brother and the Holding Company was so amazing.
My mom used to love singing Janis Joplin.
