Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow, may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever

Rest in peace, Christopher Plummer

Lovely, Aig! The Sound of Music is one of my favorite movies. I thought Christopher was so handsome in it. I first saw it in the mid 70's and was forever moved by it. ☺️

‘Try’
by the astounding Colbie Caillat.


'Put your make up on, Get your nails done
Curl your hair
Run the extra mile, Keep it slim
So they like you,
do they like you?

Get your sexy on, Don't be shy, girl
Take it off
This is what you want, to belong
So they like you,
do you like you?

You don't have to try so hard
You don't have to give it all away
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don't have to change a single thing
You don't have to try, try, try, try

Get your shopping on, at the mall, max your credit cards
You don't have to choose, buy it all
Do they like you?
Do they like you?

Wait a second,
Why should you care, what they think of you
When you're all alone, by yourself
Do you like you?
Do you like you?

You don't have to try so hard
You don't have to give it all away
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don't have to change a single thing

You don't have to try so hard
You don't have to bend until you break
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don't have to change a single thing

You don't have to try, try, try, try
You don't have to try so hard
You don't have to give it all away
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don't have to change a single thing

Take your make up off, Let your hair down
Take a breath
Look into the mirror, at yourself
Don't you like you?
Cause I like you
'


Decided not to try so hard today. Going back to bed with hot chocolate to re-watch Jurassic Park. Again. :nod:

You don't have to change a single thing or try so hard, @Ercassie . You're radiant, love yourself 😘. I was wondering why you vanished from Messenger, lol. I know Jurassic Park is your comfort movie(s), I hope it brightens your spirits again 🦖🦕.

I've loved The Sound of Music ever since childhood, @Drifa ! Plummer was a dashing fella. I'll miss him. I enjoyed many of his other roles like Chang, the Shakespeare-quoting Klingon in Star Trek.

Ever since I've read and watched The Man in the High Castle this song reminds me of the main theme from the series...

On a random note, surprisingly Daft Punk's Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger on repeat really helped me finish some posts. Talk about a throwback :lol: Also listening to Red Parallax track from No Man's Sky soudtrack helped for some reason. Probably the tempo and rhythm kept me awake. :lol:

@Drifa :thumbs: I had the Cat Steven's song 'Saturday Night' stuck in my head for a couple of days, then last week at the shops it was playing on the radio.

"Acoustic Gospel" is like the total opposite of Muse's normal MO, but I consider this the canon version of this song.

I made a playlist nominally for listening to whilst reading The Wendigo, by Algernon Blackwood but it's also great writing ambience.

The Very Thought of You cover by the lovely Natalie Cole. I love her dreamy feminine tone of voice and the rich intoxicating slowness of Natalie singing this classic.

The very thought of you
And I forget to do
The little ordinary things
That everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish though it may seem
To me, that's everything
The mere idea of you
The longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go
'Til I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you
My love
The mere idea of you
The longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go
'Til I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought the of you
The very thought of you
My love

Rag’n’Bone Man & P!nk – Anywhere Away From Here

Oh, when I close my eyes
I wish I could disappear

When the lights go up
I don’t think I told you
Don’t know if I told you
That I feel out of place

Pull me underground
Don’t know if you notice
Sometimes I close my eyes and dream of somewhere else
Anywhere away from here


Been listening to this for the last couple of days and I can't describe how perfect this song is, how perfect they both are.

For any Breath of the Wild fans, I recently discovered this amazing Spotify playlist with renditions of the game's music - perfect background music for working or writing. :grin:

@Tarawen there's something about video game soundtracks that inspires all sorts of writing/coding work :grin:

I am not a country fan, but I am loving the new Me and That Man album

@Prometherion It sure does! The link you shared seems broken but I found my way to "Run with the Devil" and am enjoying it a lot, if that's on the album you're referencing (I think it is because I'm pretty sure a line from it is your latest Plaza signature :lol:). :partybear:

Klaxon! For all Bear McCreary lovers out here (I know there are a lot of you) So Say We All: Battlestar Galactica Live is coming out on June 4th! And, and the BSG soundtracks are going to be available on music streaming services for the first time! I am crying here, people! I have been waiting for this for so long!

@Eldy Dunami He is refreshing :thumbs: - Daniel Norgren - Moonshine Got Me -

Have you ever listened to a song and the hairs on the back of your arms rise up and a tingle travels up your body to the top of your head and your eyes suddenly glisten reflecting the iris and all its color and you feel a longing in your chest? :smile:

This song , it brings sad and happy feelings together for me: sadness for the past (getting older maybe?) and happiness for the future (a better place for my sons). :smile:

@Afird Splitax It is such a silly video, isn't it? :lol: I forgot about it until I looked for a YouTube link to the song to post here because I'm old school and listen to actual local files. then I sat and listened/watched again. Such a great song and I want to know the story behind the video if there is one!

on now - Gone, The Head and the Heart

Somehow, Zeal & Ardor have managed to create two full length albums, a live album, an EP, and now two singles of material of which every single song is brilliant and amazing. Manuel Gagneux is raising the bar of music.

I was introduced to the music of Sarah McLachlan by a Plaza friend back in 2009, and I think the version of "Possession" from Mirrorball was the first song she showed me. That memory popped back into my mind recently; I didn't even remember the name of the song at first, but after finding it I can confirm I still really like it.

Sarah McLachlan - Possession
