I've just listened to Light again this morning - in a completely different frame of mind. With the exception of the gate, I'm starting to like it. -------------- Happy? ha ha ha.... Back to top

timshen Group: Members Posts: 684 Joined: Mar. 2001 Posted: Nov. 16 2005, 06:56 Sunset is the only one I REALLY like on "Light". I did like Angelique until someone said it sounded like "Bugger Me" or "Burger Meat" and now that's all I hear and I can't seriously listen to it anymore! The rest, I'm sorry to say, I find boring. First steps seems strangely empty to me and I prefer the TLII mix using these themes. However, I love most of Shade. I guess that's the way it is. Most love either Light or Shade - I heard no one say they love both yet, but am happy to be proven wrong. What causes us to like shade over light or vice verca is a huge topic, which a very interesting thread in the general section of the forum started by Korgscrew deals with. -------------- Expect Great Things.

The Bell(end) Group: Members Posts: 1051 Joined: July 2005 Posted: Nov. 16 2005, 12:26 That Dog video was great! Cements my theory that Sunset is the perfect music for a positive look back on someone/something's life at their funeral.   Angelique and Our father I find just a little too bland, I like the Gate, First steps is rather a blur to me, I like Blackbird and Rocky too! But my favourite is, and I'm sure will always be, Sunset    I think it's the best track of the whole album   -------------- When the night's on fi-ya, do you need love's arms to hold yew? :D Back to top

Cements my theory that Sunset is the perfect music for a positive look back on someone/something's life at their funeral.   Thanks.  I agree with that statement.  I hadn't even thought of doing a video for the dogs until I heard Sunset.  The CD came just as we were discovering how sick our last dog was and as I listened to the song, it summoned up all kinds of images, both happy and sad.  It just seemed like something I had to do. -------------- Speak friend and enter.

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Nov. 22 2005, 10:18 My vote as a piano lover and player goes to the two piano pieces, Blackbird and Rocky. But I don't think that there is a single song from Light that I've played more than the others - I usually play the whole CD from beginning to end. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top
