A beautiful melody that tries to comfort and at the same time a haunting message that something like this must never happen again. Never.

Hi Jung, I don’t know if this topic is basically about the music of the Kinks or just about outstanding pieces of music. As far as the latter is concerned, I find the song „The House of the rising Sun“ by the animals very impressive. Eric Burdon was celebrated as a white blues singer and the use of the organ was something special for 1964. A song that is characterized by the memorable voice and the beautiful melody. I like to listen to the song again and again.

At this point, I would like to thank all those who have contributed to this topic. For your patience, for the many beautiful ideas and suggestions I have received and some films that I really want to see now. For me it was a wonderful, interesting journey through the world of film music. Thanks.

Hi David, somehow I missed a few details. John Lennon originally founded the Quarrymen. Paul and George were also members of the band for a while. That’s how far I know. But the rest of the band, were they also professionally active as musicians or is this now more a hobby band that occasionally has gigs? (or are these now all well-known musicians that I just don’t recognize?)

For me one of the most beautiful love movies of recent years: About Time. Sympathetic actors, a very original plot and the actually very serious Topic dying and transience sensitively implemented. A film to laugh, to think and sometimes deeply sad. But all in all: just beautiful.

Hi David, thank you very much for posting this video. I need your help: does the tuned piano now sound like a music box, like a harp or maybe like a „Glockenspiel“ (?carillon?) ? Cool.
Maybe the biggest danceable keyboard in the world?

Hi Diana, first of all thank you very much for the beautiful cover version of “The House of the rising sun”. Of course, the version of Athens Creek benefits first of all from the duet singing (and also from the tension between the female and the male voice). Also, the whole song has become more complex. I find the implementation on two acoustic guitars very successful and it sounds really great . The integration of „amazing grace“ is a wonderful idea (this makes it almost a new song in places). I really can’t say which of the two versions is better. The version of The Animals, on the other hand, sounds somehow “dirtier” and therefore fits quite well with the text. I also find the Hammond organ original. A very clear Draw, I would say. Thank you very much for posting the version of Athen Creek. I always find it exciting to get to know new bands, especially since I also love folk music very much.

…and here we have the adrenaline-junkie. Young, dynamic and unfortunately too much energy drinks and coffee before the journey started:

Hi David, and again I learned something new: I was firmly convinced that the title “Act naturally” was written by the Beatles for the movie “Help”. Thank you. The preview of “Time after Time” is very entertaining and funny. I’m so almost sure I watched the movie on TV many years ago. But I can’t remember the plot anymore. I’ll definitely take another look at it. Do you actually know the movie “Timeline” by Michael Crichton? Also such a time travel story. The film hasn’t received any particularly good reviews, but I like it quite well. And one of the more recent time travel classics: Jack Finney’s novel „Time and Again“. Maybe you’ve read it. To my knowledge, it has not been filmed, but it is a wonderful book whose protoganist travels back in time to New York in the year 1882. The author has a very vivid and detailed way of writing so that as a reader you almost really feel transported to that time. An enchanting book. And finally: Joe Haldeman’s Science Fiction novel „The forever war“. One of my favorite books. A parable of how much conflicts and wars could have been avoided if people had simply gotten to know each other better (as well as shown in the music video “Pipes of peace” by Paul Mc Cartney) End. No more books (sorry…).
But here again, summarized, two classic ways to travel in time: First, we have the cultured time traveler. Freshly showered, the hair neatly combed and a small sip of tea before it starts.

Hi Jung, I am very happy about your feedback. I would have liked to continue the topic, there are still so many interesting aspects of movie and movie soundtrack. But I was not sure if the topic is still interesting anymore, or if I only had led a monologue here in the forum and all potential readers have already fallen asleep from boredom.
I also find the video clip with Ringo Starr and Buck Owens very funny. I actually found it purely by chance when I was looking for the song “Act Naturaly”. Yes Ringo has always liked to play the laughing stock (if you ever watch “A hard day’s night” or “Help”, you will see that). Maybe he would even have had the talent for a real comedian, if only you had written the right roles for him.
Oh yes, and we shouldn’t forget Clint Eastwood. Whenever I listen to the music of “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly”, I immediately think of the unshaven lonely cowboy riding his horse through the shimmering midday heat and chewing a cigarillo. With the Winchester in his hand, he looks grumpy into the distance. The dusty prairie is his past, his destiny and his future, while his whole life takes place on the back of his horse. The only friends he has left are the vultures that slowly circle above him, just waiting for him to eventually tip off his hoss to share the last meal with him.

Thanks David. Now I got it.

I am glad that the movie has aroused your interest. You will definitely like it, Jung. Yes, I also love everything that has to do with time and time travel. This opens up fantastic perspectives (but beware of the butterfly effect…)
PS: Thanks for the hint about time. Now I also know why time sometimes runs so slowly with us: we live just 29 meters (round about 95 ft) above sea level. And sometimes when I get out of the chair too quickly, I have the feeling that the light spectrum shifts into the red area. But it can also only be due to my high blood pressure. 🙂

If you like science fiction, Jung then you might also like Stanislaw Lem. Actually a Polish physicist, he has written wonderful books like “Eden” “The Invincible” or “Solaris”. (I don’t like the film adaptation Solaris with George Clooney that much. Actually, the whole time only George Clooney was in the foreground and the interesting plot has been completely lost in the personality cult Clooney). Stanislaw Lem has accompanied me since my youth and has always been a great role model for me. His literary themes such as human cognition / insight, neural networks, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, but also very satirical approaches I have experienced as very inspiring and make his life’s work incomparable.
By the way, the radio play version / musical of “The war of the worlds” by Jeff Waynes is also very nice and remarkable. The story is told in a very exciting way and is always enveloped by beautiful music. Just sit back and enjoy.
