#Dgar Now listening to:
The Butterfly Ball And The Grasshoppers Feast
~ Roger Glover and guests.
A legendary, timeless album. A concept album that tells a story from beginning to end with amazing music, fun lyrics, and incredible performers. If you haven’t heard this album through, please treat yourself!
@dgar ohhhh - I remember listening to this as a kid, my parents had the record! And a book as well I think with amazing illustrations. I'd forgotten all about it but some of the songs are coming back to me now
For those who prefer to watch on YouTube, there was a live performance recorded in 1975, mixed with video clips. The audio is not as clean, the songs are in a different order, and they added a narration that is not on the album, but if you prefer a live performance, or already know the album well, it’s also worth checking out.
Everybody's got to live together
All the people got to understand
So love your neighbour like you love your brother
Come on and join the band
Well, all you need is love and understanding
Ring the bell and let the people know
We're so happy and we're celebrating
Come on and let your feelings show
Ain't you happy that we're all together
At the ball in nature's countryside?
And although we're wearing different faces
Nobody wants to hide
And love is all and all is love
And it's easy, yes, it's so easy
At the Butterfly Ball, where love is all
And it's so easy
All you need is love and understanding
Hey, ring the bell and let the people know
We're so happy and we're celebrating
Let your feelings show
Love is all, yes, love is all
At the Butterfly Ball
Love is big, love is small
Love is free and love is all
At the Butterfly Ball
When your back's to the wall
When you're starting to fall
You've got something to lean on
Love is everything
It can make you sing
At the Butterfly Ball
Now, love is all, I say love is all
Yes, love is all at the Butterfly Ball...
@Brett@dgar there was a playlist ABC used to select these 'time fillers' from, Tusk by Fleetwood Mac was another, the only song of theirs I truly love. Thanks for initiating this line of thought folks 🙏
@thistimeforsure@Brett@dgar My favourite one was this. The music is Mike Oldfield's setting of Ben Johnson's Hymn To Dianna, with footage from the Apollo missions.
"QUEEN and huntress, chaste and fair,
Now the sun is laid to sleep,
Seated in thy silver chair,
State in wonted manner keep…"
@dgar Got a taste, thanks. The ads on Youtube are getting damn right wing though. Epoch Times was thrust in my face, with no opportunity to block or downvote. I'm going to have to do something about that.
I don't have them. I'm removing networks and apps from my life at this point. Hard to remove Youtube though. I'm trying to download to both time-shift and avoid ads like this more.
