Son of Distant Earth Group: Members Posts: 27 Joined: Sep. 2002 Posted: Sep. 15 2002, 21:49 Well, just because I'm bored and can't think of anything else to say, how about a little question for everyone: What's the oddest / strangest thing you've ever done while listening to a MO song? My answer would have to be: Trying to get the passenger side window of a friend's Isuzu to roll up after the battery had quit on us. Someone had a boombox and "Islands" (of all possible CDs), which we left blaring in the background as we proceeded to remove the panel to the door and hotwire the window with some Duracell batteries.

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Sep. 16 2002, 17:21 Once, I had just woken up and I realized that the night before I had left Crises in my CD player, and it was still on (although stopped). The remote for the player was lying just at the foot of my bed, so the first thing that my right foot caught while landing was the remote, pushing 2. Moonlight Shadow started blaring out of the stereo, I got up and, still completely naked (this was in early August), I picked up my 12 string and started playing along with the song. LOL I can't remember anything stranger than this ...   -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Once, when I was really sick and tired (ready to collapse nearly) I put on a nice relaxing album: Amarok! It worked too! I have no idea why. That's about it really, my maddest moments are all from before I heard MO, or when I'm out. -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all. Back to top

Yesterday morning, which dawned fresh from an overnight rain, I went for a long run with Tres Lunas II in the minidisc. About 3 miles out, still full of energy, I was inspired to break into a series of jettes (leaps). In the passion of the music, I forgot there might actually be people around and about on the fifth one, a couple of trucks passed by. I felt very stupid. We'll not go into the moonlight dance with the horses. This past Mabon coincided with the full Harvest Moon. After our circle, I was the first one out of the woods, and upon seeing the rising Moon, I broke into the Diana-Luna-Lucina chant, arms outstretched (and no...not drawing down the moon, hahaha!. After awhile other people caught up with me and joined in. Well, it made sense at the time.   -------------- "No such thing as destiny; only choices exist." From:  Moongarden's "Solaris."

And if i'm late for school I always apologize by sayin' that I was listening to TB, and since it lasts so long, I'm sometimes 15 minutes late. Back to top

maria Group: Members Posts: 928 Joined: July 2002 Posted: Oct. 15 2002, 15:27 well, not really a very strange thing but it became kind of a rite since that... the very first time i travelled by plane i took ommadawn with me, i wanted to listen to it while flying in the highest... 10000 metres and ommadawn... good mix... and really it was...i felt as if i was going out of the plane and even out of the atmosphere... the sun was setting and i will never forget the colour of the sky... i was a bit ashamed because i saw the man by my side looked at me by the corner of his eye... maybe he noticed something in my face... but what i felt was so difficult to hide... i'm sure u understand what i mean... since then, every time i fly... ommadawn is with me    nowadays it's not easy to listen to your own music in the planes... u know... things have changed but i always take ommadawn with me and i like sitting somewhere in the airport, near a big window and watching the planes while taking off... another 'mania'... i can never cut one of m.o. pieces of music... never.... i always listen till the end, it's something like 'a bit more, only a bit more...'   -------------- ...morning and evening i'm flying, i'm dreaming...

raven4x4x Group: Members Posts: 1535 Joined: Jan. 2002 Posted: Nov. 14 2002, 05:14 Here's something weird: I was just about to listen to Amarok, me and my dad were wondering about the various possabilities of something or another, and dad said "Only time will tell..." and I had a sudden urge to listen to TSODE. Strange. -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all. Back to top

Yeh I got caught at that, playing 'strip scrabble' in the car with my first girlfriend! Mind you the music was not Mike Oldfields, it was 'Flight of the bumblebee' so as you would expect I was totally knackered. Mmmhh, MO fan Back to top
