When we heard there was a #TuneTuesday train we had to hop on board!

Today's theme is #SingIt and to share a song whose lyrics mean a lot to you. Not easy to narrow down, but we'll try!

Vienna Teng's "Level Up" is a great anthem about embracing humanity and helping each other in the face of what's often an overwhelming world.

So, what's your anthem, the song you feel down to your bones? We'd love to know and sing along!

A 639-year-long piece of music being played in a cathedral in Germany has just changed a chord for the first time in 2 years - after letting that previous single chord drone out day and night - as crowds gather in anticipation.

Been using Spotify since 2006, but now that I have been using Apple Music for a couple of months I think there is no going back. What I love in Pandora and Apple Music is that I can just play my own Station that plays songs endlessly. Most of the time I don't know what to listen, I like to shuffle everything I might like without much thought.

Spotify concentrates on playlists and as a hard core music fanatic those playlists get easily worn out.

Apple Music and Pandora focus on finding new music and shuffling without limits. In Spotify you always have to have Playlist.

Been using various platforms and been trying out different ways to listen my whole life and thankfully all of these listens are combined to one profile at last.fm/user/rolle- - from @lastfm I can always find my songs.

I was reflecting this morning on the lie #music #streaming told those of us who love listening to music, but aren't musicians ourselves. We were told that it would give us access to more varieties of music, and spontaneously introduce us to stuff we might love. Yet, I found more #indie music by mistake on file sharing back in the day than I ever find on Apple Music or Spotify. This is a good example: as a silly teenager, I searched for "pretty girls", and found this song amongst the porn. It says it's buy "The Capricorns". It's not on any of the music streaming services. There is a compressed copy on YouTube, but it only has 200 views. None of the streaming sites would ever have recommended this to me. I don't know who's singing, or anything about the band or song. Odds are I never will. And I kind of treasure that. #AltText was over 1500 characters. It is in this thread. I did my best, but I don't know how to describe music!


Ковыряю тут.

Если прокатит, то будет песенка в очень низком строе (ниже, чем Drop D тут).

Даже решил попробовать гибридное звукоизвлечение одновременно медиатором и пальцами по такому поводу.

Кто узнал - тот молодец. Но пока ничего не обещаю - нужно чтобы немало факторов сложилось.

One of my favorite holiday songs has alway been “Carol of the Bells.” It has such a different tone than all the others.

It was only today that I learned that a Ukrainian composer wrote the music in 1916, and that the original lyrics had nothing to do with Christmas. The song was titled “Shchedryk” which means ‘bountiful evening’ in Ukrainian. It tells the story of a swallow flying into a family’s home to tell of the bountiful new year to come.

The Ukrainian version is so beautiful. YouTube version attached if you care to listen.

Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" is No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 — 65 years after it was released. This breaks the record for the longest wait from a song's release to its hitting the top spot. Billboard takes a look at how much airplay it's getting, the history of the song, and the 65th anniversary celebrations, including its first video and Lee's new TikTok account.

When I was a wee little child, maybe 10-ish, my parents told me they had a surprise for me. Right now I can't remember if it was for my birthday, or just something they decided to do. They got me to sit down and put some stuff in my ears, and told me to wait a bit...

And then, music came out. But music like I had never heard.

It was the first time I heard a CD player. They bought me the player and a collection of 20 disks of classical music. I was learning to play back then, and wasn't very familiar with it, but it was such an awakening: the clarity of the sound, the way the instruments could all be located in space, the dynamic range, from the smallest brush of a string to the booming brass or heavy tympanis... Not to mention, there was so much complexity: dozens of instruments doing different things, all in harmony, all creating a wholesome, glorious, beautiful whole...

I remember spending entire evenings listening to music, discovering a new composer, or enjoying a recent favourite. As time went on, my tastes developed. I'm not especially fond of most opera, and find large, symphonic works often too much. Counterpoint or chamber works I love, however.

It made such an impression on me, and it was all a combination of what then was new technology, and the choice of the music itself, making for an experience that shaped me to this day.
