You like continental food ? Maybe you don't . Its bland . I love it . You like action movies . Maybe you don't . Its too violent . Ahem I love it too (better than being violent :) ) . But whether you love or hate English music I suggest you listen to the golden oldies of the 60s western music . Though you are a classical Hindustani fan or a heavy metal fan I assure you you will enjoy it ..
Today was listening to Cliff Richards songs and the band "Cascades" songs . Having used to lyrics which are hard to understand and tempo which makes a speeding train to shame many pop songs and rock songs are fast .But here there was a series of songs slower in tempo , with clear lyrics and many of them straight from the heart . Listening to the golden oldies of the decade makes me even wonder if the culture of the period is reflected in the songs .
Though i have just started sampling them a few of interest :
Summer Wine by Nancy Sinatra :Daughter of Frank Sinatra a legend in music his daughter has carried on with his music genes and her song Summer wine is awesome .
All alone am I : by Brenda Lee .. Called Miss Dynamite this short singer could hold attention with her operatic voice .
Young ones : Sir Cliff Richards beautiful song with beautiful melody it was pictured in movie of the same name .
Sealed with a kiss : Oh really ? can you do that :) This is a cool romantic song sung by many singers and though i like Donovans version (sung later ) this song was initially written in 60s period .
Rhythm of the Rain : by Cascades . Ex navy people joined to form a band which became world famous known as Cascades .
If you liked the originals listen to the covers sung by amateur singers in youtube . Paradoxically there are many covers from many youngsters of these songs .Not only because many of these songs are very melodic and easier to sing but also because many of these songs were put in audio equipment when their parents were rearing them .Some of them heard these songs like that and later started singing it when they were a little older . Isnt it beautiful when todays youngsters sing songs not from the oldies of the 80s but of the really old period of 60s ....Nostalgia of an yesteryear when music was synonymous with romance , longing and belonging ... No wonder they say old is gold ..
