Your favorite YouTube "non-mainstream" music video

/\/\/\ Now there's a way to promote a new CD. Sure looked like they were having fun. I got a grin out of some of the folk's reactions.

 

Ian Anderson doing what he does best!

(Not sure what the dancers in the back are doing!)

/\/\/\ Liked the video. I'm thinking the dancers were all stoned.

 

If someone picked this already I'm sorry Must See! Thunderstruck by Steve n Seagulls (live) could someone please post this song on this thread for me. It's very good!

Thanks Mike B! That's good Stuff!

 

I watched it because I was afraid that, if I didn't, some badass, whose acting range is a straight line, would either knock on my door and start a fight with me or attempt to make me sit through every one of his movies.
Glad I did. Those guys are pretty darned talented. They do other AC/DC songs that I'll have to check out.
Thanks for Posting, Mike!

I just love this song by Genesis from the "We Can't Dance" album. Tells a very poignant tale.

Never heard that before. I posted the lyrics because they do tell a very poignant tale and no one should miss any of it. Thank You for sharing and making me aware of this tune.

"Driving The Last Spike"

Leaving my family behind me
not knowing what lay ahead
waving goodbye, as I left them in tears
remembering all we'd said

I looked to the sky, I offered my prayers
I asked Him for guidance and strength
but the simple beliefs of a simple man
lay in His hands, and on my head

I gave everything that they wanted
but still they wanted more
we sweat and we toiled
good men lost their lives
I don't think they knew what for

I sold them my heart
I sold them my soul
I gave everything I had
ah but they couldn't break my spirit
my dignity fought back,
fightback
can you hear me
can you see
Don't you hear me
don't you see

We worked in gangs for all we were worth
the young boys pulling the wagons
we were digging the tunnel, shifting the earth
it was then that it happened.

No-one knew how the cracks appeared
but as it fell they all disappeared
stone fell like rain

Can you hear me,
Can you see
Don't you hear me
Can you breathe

The smoke cleared, the dust it settled
No one knew how many had died
all around there were broken men
they'd said it was safe, they'd lied
you could hear the cries, you could smell the fear
but good fortune that day was mine
and it occurred to me the heart of a good man
it seems is hard to find.

Can you hear me,
can you see
Don't you hear me
don't you see

We worked, how we worked like
the devil for our pay
through the wind, through the snow,
and through the rain

Blasting and cutting through Gods country like a knife
sweat stinging my eyes, there has to be a better life

Ah but I can hear my childrens' cry
I can see the tears in their eyes
memories of those I've left behind
still ringing in my ears
Will I ever go back again
Will I ever see her face again
I'll never forget that night
As they waved goodbye to their fathers

We came from the North,
and we came from the South
with picks and with spades
and a new kind of order
showing no fear of what lies up ahead
They'll never see the likes of us again

Driving the last spike,
lifting and laying the track
with blistering hands,
the sun burning your back

Oh but I can hear my childrens' cry
I can see the tears in their eyes
memories of those I've left behind
still ringing in my ears
Well I'll always remember that night,
As they waved goodbye to their fathers

We followed the rail, we slept under the stars
digging in darkness, and living with danger
showing no fear of what lies up ahead
they'll never see the likes of us again

can you hear me
can you see
Don't you hear me
don't you see

Anytime Jerry. :TU: Genesis wrote some very interesting music over the years. I have really come to love their early albums. It's too bad the original members don't seem keen on reuniting. Yes I know Phil Collins can no longer play drums.

I first heard this song on Sirius Deep tracks channel some time ago. Its lyrics are so powerful in today's vacuous pop music world. Most know the title track, which wasn't all that interesting to me.

I've added this album to my must purchase list.

 

I not only like the Cult's music.............[video]https://youtu.be/2z6aZNrGMxc[/video]

Not really a "music video", but it's neat, like an old computer game.

The Youtube ads get in the way, though.
