    The other rendition I really like is by Lang Lang, that was the first time I had ever heard it. I instantly fell in love with it, and it was the first piece of music I ever did love, but I didn't know its name. Then I heard it in Poirot, Five Little Pigs which to date is the only murder mystery to make me cry, both in reading and the watching (Marc Warren, as usual, is perfect) and then again in Hugo and in the credits of Hugo I caught its name and ever since I've used it to write to. I don't know why but this piece of music is just perfect in my mind.

    I remember The Cult, @Steerpike - tho' boys never liked them at the time.

    In that angry way, and it seemed important back then, Ian Astbury was regarded as another pretender, poser, copycat of Jim Morrison.

    [Because we read Music Papers]

    'How dare they change their name from 'Southern Death Cult' to 'The Cult,' we said, and then the official school stiff, creepy Tom M wrote 'The Cult' on his school bag. This was - obviously - and rapidly ripped from his shoulder, adapted with black marker pen...to something else.

    Thirty years later I feel bad about my crime.
    ...

    Of course, entire incident occurred before The Smiths changed the world as we knew it.

    "If you're so dense you can't read, you can't possibly write." -me-

    I listen to ambient music these days. This may be because as a professional musician for 40 years the music/lyrics thing is a bit stale. "Haven't you heard? It's a battle of words and most of them are said." -Thuh Floyd- I also listen to some stuff out of Spain (in Spanish so I don't understand the words, and can't say "That's a stupid thing to say.")

    Forgive me. A sign of the 21st Century is how stupidity abounds. I imagine the people who posted those embeds (despite the admonition) aren't around to take them down out of pure politeness. So, we have a crashing threadnaught. One of the reasons I stopped playing live is fan behavior in public. Ah well...as civilization crashes.

    So, a few I know the more cerebral and finely-balanced among us will like to listen to while they write:

    Spanish Nights

    Walking With Merlin
    The Healing Drum
    The EVE Soundtrack

    If you're my age, when you were a kid you may recall your parents listening to Bossa Nova:

    Bossa Nova
    Jazz and Bossa Nova

    And...as a guitar player myself, rather than listening to electric guitars (after forty years of standing in front of Marshall amplifiers so loud they could part your hair) I've found some quite enjoyable Spanish guitar work - all instrumentals:

    Spanish Guitar 1
    Spanish Guitar 2
    Spanish Guitar 3

    These are all compilations painstakingly assembled by people who know this music.
    Very well done. Both highly-rated and highly appreciated. I hope you find them and enjoy.

    And, if you're still on this forum, and you embedded a YouTube link above, please be kind, and just provide a link. We can be impressed with the video when we click the link. Maybe the thread will stop threatening to crash us.

    @matwoolf funny thing - a few years ago Astbury was the vocalist on a Doors tour with the surviving Doors. He did a nice job.

    I've been listening to a lot pf David Bowie recently, his voice is kind of a comfort to me. These are my two favourite songs of his:

    @Malisky their cover of Bohemian Rhapsody is pretty funny. Apparently, Brian May actually did some of the guitar work for them.

    Part of an episode where an inspector shows up because the lads are running a TV without a license. Hilarious.
