Been going through the (granted, not that many..) MTV Unplugged albums in my collection, and I keep returning to this one. One of the best bands ever, and this song is one definitely of their best. Just haunting, and beautiful stuff.
Some sweet synthwave tonight.

Simon & Garfunkel - April Come She Will
Well, hello old friends...
Well, hello old friends...
Terrific choice and a timely reminder to listen to Simon & Garfunkel - I haven't played their music in an absolute age.
I had to go out today and I guess the Christmas is starting pick up. Needed this on my iPhone to handle it.

Brilliant album.
Actually, around a decade ago, I once had the privilege of hearing Marcus Miller (a protégé of Miles Davis) play live.
PJH, just brilliant.
Though they haven't been in my music rotation in some time, I'm a big fan of Marillion. That early 80s work, Script for a Jester's Tear and Fugazi, got me through life
I even have a solo Fish album, somewhere ...
Holy smokes, they were all together in my "CD overflow storage"

I absolutely love the Fish era Marillion; those early albums are brilliant. I 'rediscovered' them about a year ago and they have been in heavy rotation lately. They never really took off in the US if I recall correctly, and are probably mostly remembered here for 'Kayleigh' and it's a shame---it's a nice little song but hardly shows off their epic prog rock talent. Early Genesis is another favorite-- just listened to the live cut of 'Cinema Show' from the Seconds Out album. The drumming on that track is incredible. I get goosebumps when I listen to this song.

(See above, found my CD's
)Yeah, that sort of prog-rock wasn't as popular in the US in the 80s, it's funny how bands like Genesis, Yes, went super mainstream.
I'm a __huge__ fan of early Gabriel era Genesis: Lamb, Selling England, Foxtrot, just amazing works of musicianship, lyrics and composition. I'm also a big fan of King Crimson, kind of both incarnations, the early Greg Lake stuff, and also the later Adrian Belew material - and of course, all the Fripp contributions to KC, his solo music, collaborative work and whatnot.

Nice! All good stuff for sure....I listened to King Crimson very recently also.
I honestly don’t know if I’ve ever heard that solo Fish album so I will definitely be checking that out this evening. Thanks!
Jethro Tull - A Christmas Song
Once in Royal David's City
Stood a lonely cattle shed
Where a mother held her baby
You'd do well to remember the things he later said
When you're stuffing yourselves at the Christmas parties
You'll just laugh when I tell you to take a running jump
You're missing the point I'm sure does not need making
That Christmas spirit is not what you drink
So how can you laugh when your own mother's hungry
And how can you smile when the reasons for smiling are wrong?
And if I just messed up your thoughtless pleasures
Remember, if you wish, this is just a Christmas song
(Hey! Santa! Pass us that bottle, will you?)
