Homeward Bound (Simon & Garfunkel) reaction

There just simply may be no better duo harmony in the history of music. Combine that with exquisite acoustic guitar and a strong drum/bass backing and a bohemian lyrical journey and longing for home, and you get this masterpiece.

How is it possible, my friends, that a majestic masterpiece like this sublime song could ever be created and exquisitely performed to absolute perfection, rocketing the human spirit to places unseen but purely felt? It is an Odyssean journey of lyrical loneliness counterposed by soaring orchestration of defiance and hope. Just wow. 00:00 Setting scene 01:30 Reaction begins

Man, man, man, man, MAN! This adorable and delightful Scottish lady has the pipes and undulating emotional inflections that mesmerize and captivate. This is an exquisite song, with wonderful drum work, guitars and, yes, violins till your heart's content. It was the biggest song in the U.S. in 1967 and rightfully so!

One of the greatest and most emotional voices of all time singing one of the greatest lyrics (Bacharach/David) of all time. This is a goose-bumpy performance by Cilla in 1964. Absolutely mesmerizing. LOVE LOVE LOVE this lady!

The wonderful lyrics are about ecology and what man is doing to the world, but again, Marvin conveys his meaning with such tenderness and emotion that even if you don't completely agree with him, it just doesn't matter because the beauty of his sound is almost unmatched.

If modern music and rap had even half of this man's brilliance for lyric, meaning and melody, I might listen to it. Marvin is a template for class and transcendent emotion and message all rolled into one amazing man.

Listen to the first part of a verse from a Grace song lyric and see if you know what the rest of the verse is. If you're like me, you'll want to keep listening to each lyric, but alas, prepare yourself quickly for the next verse quiz. Good luck. Giddyup!

Powerful orchestration and choral magnificence with a mellifluous narrative integration about Quasimodo and other characters make this 7-minute intro on the movie "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" a moving experience. Wow! From Patrick Page's channel: ua-cam.com/video/qtuUw5jnTns/v-deo.html

Wow, a Carpenters song I'd never heard of. Turns out it was never performed by Karen because of her tragic demise. It was written by Richard, and Tori has now done her rendition. She does a bang-up, moving performance, but the song, unfortunately (for me), is rather mediocre. I hope you enjoy.

How is it even possible that a group's rendition of their own song could be THIS much greater than the original? Wow. We are treated a full 2-minute riff shred by the amazing Terry Kath, and even Cetera's voice has extra edge and funk. You gotta watch this if you're a Chicago fanatic or even if you ain't! 00:00 Intro on Chicago 01:21 Reaction

This is my second reaction to Tori, and I'm even more impressed with how she conveys emotion with her husky contralto and higher end voice, sounding quite similar to Karen Carpenter but with some exquisite differences. She and James Wilkas (instrumentation) took me back a half-century with their remarkable rendition of this classic beauty. Here's the Jim MIDI channel with the original: ua-cam.c...
