For you will still be here tommorrow,but your dreams may not...sigh
I wish I'd written every song I love,but I'm glad at least someone did..Particularly New Order and Roses choons.
How do they do it?
I mean lyrics ok,doable...But how do they invent such beautiful music like Ceremony or YSF, for example?

oi Snorri.. go to bed you big tart.
You're heading into drunken Brit zone at this time. You'll be in the chatroom next
Not likely! I hear it's all nutters in there! 
I'm having to get my NOOL fix all at once at the moment, computers at work are getting all arsey with the forums... They even seem to have banned the Times Educational Supplement jobs web-site, so even if we want to get out, we can't!

£50 Note wrote: Gorecki by Lamb
Cheers £50 quid, I was reading down this thread and thinking " I dunno if I wish I'd wrote any song". BUT, you made me see there is one.
Gorecki's 3rd symphony, particularly the 2nd movement, it's possible the most powerful, most clearly communicative peice of music ever written, albeit, it communicates a tragedy brought on by a great evil.
They're all sad really, the 3rd one with the mother looking for her lost and dead son especially 
Got four or five different versions of that and the Dawn Upshaw one is the best.
oh, er...

Yer all mad, let some other sod do the hard part and leave us to enjoying listening and playing.
Returning slightly drunk from the boozer just now, TPK came on the iPod, to the usual nodding of the head and thinking 'Choon'... But what blew me away, and hence is worthy of a mention here, is the fact that it was followed by the Substance version of BLT... I have seriously underrated that one...
Still wish I'd written Temptation more though...
