Amazing Songs & Other Delights #72 – The Ecosystem edition @ mixcloud

My Amazing Songs & Other Delights #72 – The Ecosystem edition is now on mixcloud.

Of late, I’ve been coming upon the word ecosystem from different sources. Or happen upon lyrics, or otherwise that mention the concept that we’re all one, we’re connected, that we depend on each other.

That concept is part of Body Count’s
Comfortably Numb version of Pink Floyd’s Comfortably Numb the song that opens this edition. Ice-T writes and says:
“Listen… ’cause I’ve been on both sides of the gun
As you stand before me we’re all here as one
We gotta come together or our chances are none
Maybe I’m just a dreamer, too many obstacles” (full lyrics here)

An ecosystem implies environment and those in it interacting, forging connections, relationships, one thing leading to another. That is how both Mondo and Yé Yé came to be. The longer text about My Amazing Songs & Other Delights #72 – The Ecosystem edition can be read here.

Tracklist:
01: Body Count – Comfortably Numb (feat. David Gilmour)
02: Raveloe – Passing Place
03: 12 Roads – Waiting For JB
04: Rowland S. Howard – Shut Me Down
05: Ned Swarbrick – Somebody, Something, Somewhere Else (live York City FC)
06: Mick Harvey – October Boy
07: Johnny Marr – New Town Velocity
08: The Birthday Party – The Friend Catcher
09: Saint Sappho – Grass is Gold
10: Oh Bobby (Bill Rivers and Simon Hayward) – Are You Still There

Amazing Songs & Other Delights #71 – The Desert Blues and Not Just edition by Raquel Pinheiro @ mixcloud

Amazing Songs & Other Delights #71 is the The Desert Blues and Not Just edition is now on mixcloud.

This edition opens with Imajighen by Mdou Moctar and closes with Tom Huddleston singing a live version on Hank Williams’ I Saw The Light. Once more, I’m travelling through connections, details, inspiration. I’ve wrote an essay for it that can be read here.

Imajighen means free men in Berber. Although the lyrics specifically, or more specifically, address the free men of the Desert, the song’s words can be transposed to encompass us all. The chorus goes:
“Imajighen, we can’t afford to be divided
Imajighen,
We can’t afford to be divided
Imajighen
We have no time for hate
Imajighen
Calling on you all wherever you are!
We are all Imajighen”
Full lyrics in English, Tamasheq and Tifinagh can be read here.  here.

What do Mdou Moctar and Hank Williams have in common? Everything, I venture. My essay about the programme further speaks about it.
