Wagner's prelude from Tristan & Isolde in the film Melancholia (2011).

ps/ if you can, see the film Melancholia or Tree of Life:
both are excellent films, competing for top honors this year.

Harry Chapin | Flowers are Red
 


I've kind of fallen behind with practicing for my guitar lessons,
but I really like Harry Chapin and his storytelling through song;
the vital Story within a Story that his songs usually dealt with.

*Lyrics*

"The little boy went first day of school
He got some crayons and started to draw
He put colors all over the paper
For colors was what he saw
And the teacher said.. What you doin' young man
I'm paintin' flowers he said
She said... It's not the time for art young man
And anyway flowers are green and red
There's a time for everything young man
And a way it should be done
You've got to show concern for everyone else
For you're not the only one

And she said...
Flowers are red young man
Green leaves are green
There's no need to see flowers any other way
Than they way they always have been seen

But the little boy said...
There are so many colors in the rainbow
So many colors in the morning sun
So many colors in the flower and I see every one

Well the teacher said.. You're sassy
There's ways that things should be
And you'll paint flowers the way they are
So repeat after me.....

And she said...
Flowers are red young man
Green leaves are green
There's no need to see flowers any other way
Than they way they always have been seen

But the little boy said...
There are so many colors in the rainbow
So many colors in the morning sun
So many colors in the flower and I see every one

The teacher put him in a corner
She said.. It's for your own good..
And you won't come out 'til you get it right
And are responding like you should
Well finally he got lonely
Frightened thoughts filled his head
And he went up to the teacher
And this is what he said.. and he said

Flowers are red, green leaves are green
There's no need to see flowers any other way
Than the way they always have been seen

Time went by like it always does
And they moved to another town
And the little boy went to another school
And this is what he found
The teacher there was smilin'
She said...Painting should be fun
And there are so many colors in a flower
So let's use every one

But that little boy painted flowers
In neat rows of green and red
And when the teacher asked him why
This is what he said.. and he said

Flowers are red, green leaves are green
There's no need to see flowers any other way
Than the way they always have been seen."

was drug to what I thought was going to just be a concert by "Accapella" by a dear dear... dear friend and got a surprise. The Atlanta Symphony was there as well. Still wasn't my cup of tea.. but the symphony did a rendition of Stand by Me that was haunting and incredibly beautiful. I can't find their version, but I did find something...

Portland Cello Project | Denmark
 
There's some beautiful stringed melodies to listen to here!
Thank you UofMan, greco and tawse! :)

tawse??? When I listened to the number you found by Ben E King (with the London Symphony) and read your post about hearing the rendition the Atlanta Symphony performed recently (your outting with your friend), the first thing that came to my mind was I thought about your descripton of the number being 'eery' - I might know what you're talking about because I heard a rendition of an eery version of the Ben E King song as performed by a symphony back home in Idaho, years ago. I hadn't thought about that concert in years - but your post conjured the memory, so thanks!!!

Another member in our community, posted the music video I am leaving here tonight, in the main forum thread for music "What are you listening to?" last summer(2010) - or was it in the fall??? The group is called: The Portland Cello Project. They perform "Denmark" (ft. Gideon Freudmann). The person who posted it had no idea how deeply that video touched my heart because ... well, because of a dear friend of mine in Berlin, Germany loved Danish culture, spent significant time in Denmark (grew up there, if I remember correctly or their familial origins begin in Denmark, something like that). Long story short :cheesy: : We had this ongoing conversation about particular things and that particular part of our conversation led to me posting a video clip from Sesame Street's 'absent minded professor' who built the 'six dollar man' (a spoof on the Six Million Dollar Man, a tv show back in the day) - who immediately blew up into a million peices (all collected from the trash can, garbage can) after the scientist was trying to proove to kids how his experiment was going to 'work.' HAHAHAHAHA!!!! The clip featuring his concocted 'six dollar man' resembles the wooden puppet in The Portland Cello Project video below and furthermore, there's a little red lobster (on a piece of paper, and artistic representation of a lobster) sitting on the tank of the toilet. It's somewhere near the beginning of the video.

Anyway... how seredipitous for them to have posted that video, and how the contents of that video are nearly perfect or fit perfectly (I should say) the extended conversation I had with my friend in Berlin, years ago (2006?) :)

*Enjoy*

ps/ the caveat to this story is that the story-within-the-story between me and my TG butch friend in Berlin was a spin-off to my argument about Bob Dollar - the protagonist in the Annie Proulx story, That Old Ace in the Hole.
