Storm songs and psychadelic 60's

Theme from Exorcist. You can google it and hear some parts on Amazon.Com. They have revamped it and I listened to some of TB II and TB III Sorry, but I'm liking the first one best. Mike Oldfield was the brains behind it and did it with so many different instruments, I believe all by himself. It brings back so many memories for me :( and :)

I could go on all day with 60's music, but trying to keep with the psychedelic topic, and the storm/sea one, cuts down on the offerings that I can think of. Now, if you want to do one on protest songs, and another one on love-ins, and another on summer songs...well, you get the picture, we could easily get that boxed set up to 10 or 12 discs.

Maybe I'll start a new one for just 60's music? What do you think?

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald - Forgot who did it. Same guy that did Sundown.

Forgetting name is going to drive me nuts!

Edited to say Gordon Lightfoot was singer. Thought of it as soon as I posted.

Yeah, Edmund Fitzgerald. I forgot that one, too. My 1st husband and I went ot a concert of his the morning before we got married. Maybe that's why I repress.

If you have ever been to lake Superior you would understand that song. Great song, also a great tragedy.

I do know about it and it was a tragedy. I understand, several years ago, they brought the bell up.

Sorry, didn't mean you wouldn't understand the song. (guess I didn't state that well)
I guess I meant if you ever saw that lake in person. Hard to discribe.
It is carved from rock and deep as the ocean and cold as ice all the time.
It is the most beautiful great lake and the scariest too.
If anyone travels here to Mi that is one area I would recomend going.

Oh, sweetie, I wasn't offended and didn't think you thought I didn't know. ☺ (I make funny sentences...)

Oh good. Sometimes it is easy to type something meaning one thing and someone may take it wrong.
My brain and fingers don't always cooperate. (well, mostly the brain) LOL

I need to HAVE a brain before I can USE my brain! LOL

I have one, but I think it needs defraging or the hard drive cleaned or something. Too much useless information clogging the works.

Whenever I try to think of something, I say' "Sorry, I'm checking my files."

defraging...LOL

We need one of those little egg timers to appear in our eyes or something.

Sometimes I get a computer voice and say, "one moment, accessing information"
I doubt it makes me look any smarter, but usually gets a chuckle.
If we can't laugh at ourselves, we are too serious and need to lighten up.

The Last Farewell 'Roger Whittiker'.

Oh, good one. Thanks!

Led Zepplin's 'Whole Lotta Love'.

Rainy Night In Georgia ~ Brook Benton
If you care for Billie Holiday ~ Come Rain Or Come Shine, Stormy Weather, Stormy Blues

Randy Newman:

Louisiana 1927

What has happened down here is the winds have changed
Clouds roll in from the north and it started to rain
Rained real hard and it rained for a real long time
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline

The river rose all day
The river rose all night
Some people got lost in the flood
Some people got away alright
The river have busted through clear down to Plaquemines
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangelne

Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tyrin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away

President Coolidge came down in a railroad train
With a little fat man with a note-pad in his hand
The President say, "Little fat man isn't it a shame what the river has done
To this poor crackers land."

Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away

Moby, those will work. They are now on the list. Thanks.

Stella, I don't think I've ever heard that!

Let's see if I can do this. I've never tried to link a YouTube but let's try:

And I second the vote for Neil Young's "Like a Hurricane".....Melody, I could easily have a house full of old vinyl....

Yes! I love it! Randy has an interesting voice. I liked the video, too. Never heard the story and now I have to investigate it. History is another of "my favorite things".

did aybody say When the Levee Breaks- Led Zeppelin?
then get the book Rising Tide sometime- about massive floods in early 1900s along the Mississippi

Hey, Sally, how did you know I liked to read? lol

LOL
looks like Mary Roach has a regular page in Reader Digest, and a web page-maybe a page at Readers Digest site- I keep meaning to look at

Come On Down To My Boat ~ Every Mother's Son

Time Of The Season ~ The Zombies
My Generation ~ The Who
Get Together ~ The Youngbloods
Incense and Peppermints ~ Strawberry Alarm Clock

How ''psychedelic'' do you want to get?? LOL
Rainy Day Mushroom Pillow ~ Strawberry Alarm Clock

Drug songs (can I say that?)are what I expected but I'm taking anything you feel like sending. SAC song is great.

OK, that's what I was driving at. ;) Some of the "psychedelic" music collections that I've been looking at have songs that are not exactly what I'd think of coming under that title.

For a general trip down memory lane, I think "Life Is A Rock (But The Radio Rolled Me" by Reunion sums up the era pretty well. Besides, it's just plain fun.

Just for kicks, here are the lyrics:

B.B. Bumble and the Stingers, Mott the Hoople, Ray Charles Singers
Lonnie Mack and twangin' Eddy, here's my ring we're goin' steady
Take it easy, take me higher, liar liar, house on fire
Locomotion, Poco, Passion, Deeper Purple, Satisfaction
Baby baby gotta gotta gimme gimme gettin' hotter
Sammy's cookin', Lesley Gore and Ritchie Valens, end of story
Mahavishnu, fujiyama, kama-sutra, rama-lama
Richard Perry, Spector, Barry, Archies, Righteous, Nilsson, Harry
Shimmy shimmy ko-ko bop and Fats is back and Finger Poppin'

Life is a rock but the radio rolled me
Gotta turn it up louder, so my DJ told me (whoa whoa whoa whoa)
Life is a rock but the radio rolled me
At the end of my rainbow lies a golden oldie

FM, AM, hits are clickin' while the clock is tock-a-tickin'
Friends and Romans, salutations, Brenda and the Tabulations
Carly Simon, I behold her, Rolling Stones and centerfoldin'
Johnny Cash and Johnny Rivers, can't stop now, I got the shivers
Mungo Jerry, Peter Peter Paul and Paul and Mary Mary
Dr. John the nightly tripper, Doris Day and Jack the Ripper
Gotta go Sir, gotta swelter, Leon Russell, Gimme Shelter
Miracles in smokey places, slide guitars and Fender basses
Mushroom omelet, Bonnie Bramlett, Wilson Pickett, stop and kick it

Life is a rock but the radio rolled me
Gotta turn it up louder, so my DJ told me (whoa whoa whoa whoa)
Life is a rock but the radio rolled me
At the end of my rainbow lies a golden oldie

Arthur Janov's primal screamin', Hawkins, Jay and
Dale and Ronnie, Kukla, Fran and Norma Okla
Denver, John and Osmond, Donny
JJ Cale and ZZ Top and LL Bean and De De Dinah
David Bowie, Steely Dan and sing me prouder, CC Rider
Edgar Winter, Joanie Sommers, Osmond Brothers, Johnny Thunders
Eric Clapton, pedal wah-wah, Stephen Foster, do-dah do-dah
Good Vibrations, Help Me Rhonda, Surfer Girl and Little Honda
Tighter, tighter, honey, honey, sugar, sugar, yummy, yummy
CBS and Warner Brothers, RCA and all the others

Life is a rock but the radio rolled me
Gotta turn it up louder, so my DJ told me (whoa whoa whoa whoa)
Life is a rock but the radio rolled me
At the end of my rainbow lies a golden oldie

spoken:
Listen--remember, they're playing our song!
Rock it, sock it, Alan Freed me, Murray Kaufman, try to leave me
Fish, and Swim, and Boston Monkey,
Make it bad and play it funky.
(Wanna take you higher!)

OMG!!! I had so forgotten that one! ROTFLOL That's going at the TOP of the list and going on the CD's first!!!

Thank you!

ROTFL Oh honey, I made my own CD of funny / weird songs of the 70's and that's at the top of it.

If it's druggie songs you're looking for, how about Eric Clapton's 'Cocaine'? There's another song titled 'Needle and Spoon', by Savoy Brown, in his Raw Sienna album.

I don't know if Van Morrison's song 'Into the Mystic' falls into the storm songs category or not, but there's a cool fog horn sound in it.

Diana

Time= Pink Floyd
"fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way-" LOL and Daves Garden didn't even exist back then.........

ALL the songs listed here are on the list. It looks like I have enough for a 10 CD boxed set! DB will be pleased.

Does America's "Sandman" fall into the "psychedelic" category?

Never really understood that song.

I know it's from the 70's but all day long I've had "One Toke Over The Line" running through my head.

Always thought Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" was pretty trippy music.

LOL Something you need to tell us Moby?

Me? Pure as the driven snow.
I have music running through my head all day long to keep me from thinking about my job. :)

I do that, too! Only, I like my job. Hmm...

This is not a storm but in a matter of speaking. Bad Company's "Bad Company". I love that one. When I think Psycadelic I think Nazareth Hair of the dog album, "Please don't Judas Me and Wisky drinkin Woman

Oh ya and the song Paint it Black, from the Viet Nam era. No storms for real but metaphorically.

I'm adding them to the list. Thanks!
