Tubularman Group: Awaiting Authorisation Posts: 2304 Joined: June 2004 Posted: Sep. 26 2006, 23:19 but after all i feel very much same as the songs i hear of mike.. The song dont need to have lyrics, it is just the feeling you have inside.. Like now.. i feel "surfing" he he not only the lyrics but the strong solo in surfing is a strong piece, and that is how i feel most of the time these days. The sun is sinking and the autumn is here. Time to get surfing and feel a little down... now over to you   -------------- Mike Oldfield M i x e s https://soundcloud.com/tubularman Back to top

I guess it all depends upon my mood ,at work I often feel I'm a  Shadow on the Wall,or I'm having a Crises(time to find a new job methinks!!!. Far Above The Clouds,when I'm daydreaming.   I often feel I'm Tubular Bells, calm and peaceful,but can change to angry and frustrated, my frustrated alter ego is Piltdown Woman , but once I've vented my anger (in a positive way of course) then there's the  frivolity of the Sailor's Hornpipe. When I'm energised and inspired I'm Part 1 of Ommadawn,just so uplifting. I can also have  the childlike innocence of On Horseback . Quote Piltdownboy On Horseback I am Hergest Ridge... Calm in places... bit weird... and every now and then in my head there's a Thunderstorm, just like on the record. . Well said Piltdownboy,I couldn't have put it more eloquently . Like Hergest Ridge I'm rather unconventional, and iconoclastic. -------------- I'm going slightly mad, It finally happened, I'm slightly mad , just very slightly mad If you feel a little glum to Hergest Ridge you should come.

olracUK Group: Members Posts: 1683 Joined: June 2003 Posted: Sep. 27 2006, 19:49 Well, I've had Mike's music as a huge part of my life for nearly 30 years now. It has been a solid base through all the ups and downs. So, although not quite in the spirit of Kay's original idea, here is my biography:- As a child, I was innocent, taking my first steps on lifes road. At primary school I had a flying start, being top of the class in most subjects. But then the teenage years came, and I became a runaway son, leaving home early. I was with the wrong friends, and did some naughty things. But, I regretted them and was Mr Shame. So, into my 20's, I found a career in selling, and was always on the make make. I got married and was quite the family man. But I was guilty of working to hard, putting my career before my family. Things got rocky at home, and one day I came home from working away and it was not good news. My wife had commited a crime of passion with the bloke next door. I wasoutcast, my life and mind scattered to the four winds. It was a very tough time, and I am so glad I had Mike's music to keep me a little bit sane. Then, from the ashes, there was romance. I met someone new and my life had a resolution. Now, when I look at my new family, my older children playing with baby Katie, I get all misty eyed. My life is definitely in high places. So - which song am I? "All that I need and I desire", "Can we get much higher?" - I'm not a fan of the song, but right now I'm IN HIGH PLACES -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question? Back to top

Matt Group: Admins Posts: 1186 Joined: Nov. 2002 Posted: Sep. 29 2006, 10:59 Hmmmm.... I think to be honest there are two answers to this, what we would like to think we are and what we actually are! I'd like to be a mix of Amarok (powerful, a bit different, full of challenge and interest) with Hergest Ridge (Calm, considered and thoughtful with a range of other emotions) and a dash of Crises coolness thrown in. Actually I think I am more "Guitars" - poorly conceived, a bit dull and you wonder why anybody bothered :-) p.s. before anybody starts with the smart-alec responses, by "poorly conceived" I only mean I might not have been a good idea, not anything else :-) -------------- "I say I say I say I say, what's got three bottles and five eyes and no legs and two wheels" Back to top
