And I Chose that I will use My Mike Oldfield Songs...I dont know what to play!!! I only have Tubular Bells 1, Five Miles Out, and Islands(Not Using because of Stinky Lyrics) HELP ME PICK ONE TRACK! I ALSO HAVE TO SING IT!!!! :| Back to top

Holger Group: Members Posts: 1506 Joined: Feb. 2003 Posted: April 07 2003, 17:06 Well, if you have to sing, and won't use Islands because of stinky lyrics, then the obvious choice would be Family Man from Five Miles Out, as TB contains nothing you can sing, at least not with one day to prepare it   There's also Five Miles Out the song, and the 'Oh island of the soul' bit from Orabidoo. Perhaps that would be the best choice for a multiculture day, being about Ireland, but I think it's very difficult to sing, and obviously you haven't got an awful lot of time to prepare it. So if you're a genius, take Orabidoo. Otherwise, go for Family Man   Back to top

Borrow a vocoder to sing the first half of the song too, it's BEAUTIFUL! Otherwise, Five Miles Out will be my second choice out yes. -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top

Man, I thought for sure it was about a 'family man,' though I don't know where I got THAT idea from...hmmm -------------- BrandonBlume.com "The beauty in life is in the embracing of the variety of things.

YR-TGM Unregistered Posted: April 08 2003, 05:08 What about 'Flying Start' from Islands? It's not 'stinky' at all and I think it would go well for the Multiculture day. Back to top
