Vous remercier George j'irai maintenant ! Bonne chance ! :)

I must have been through about a million girls

I'd love 'em and I'd leave 'em alone

Bon Tom d'air, votre virage, désolé vous l'avez manqué George !

Good tune Tom, your turn, sorry you missed it George!

That is enough French for me. La fin.

aw heck... I'll just post the whole dang song... cuz if you know it, you know it... nowutahmeen?

(if you aren't familiar with this song... it is really beautiful)

High on the sacred mountain

Up the seven thousand stairs

In the golden light of autumn

There was magic in the air

The clouds surrounded the summit

The wind blew strong and cold

Among the silent temples

And the writing carved in gold

Somewhere in my instincts

The primitive took hold

I stood at the top of the mountain

And China sang to me

In the peaceful haze of harvest time

A song of eternity

If you raise your hands to heaven

You will live a hundred years

I stood there like a mystic

Lost in the atmosphere

The clouds were suddenly parted

For a moment I could see

The patterns of the landscape

Reaching to the eastern sea

I looked upon a presence

Spanning forty centuries

I stood at the top of the mountain

And China sang to me

In the peaceful haze of harvest time

A song of eternity

I thought of time and distance

The hardships of history

I heard the hope and the hunger

When China sang to me...

When China sang to me

That is absolutely a beautiful song, Tom! Geddy Lee has a very unique voice. Some people hate it but I think he sounds great, even with his mild speech impediment.

The song is Tai Shan by Rush. Yes, I had to pull out my disc to find the name, so is that cheating?

I'd say not. You knew the artist, you had the album.

Geddy Lee has a mild speech impediment?

Please post the next song.

If you listen close, he has a lisp. (I guess that is a speech impediment). I still like his voice though. Kinda like Dylan, some people love his voice, and some people hate it.

My friends tell me, that Ive been such a fool,

And I have to stand by and take it baby, all for lovin you.

It is an incredibly beautiful song... Neal Peart writes some amazing stuff and then the way Lee and Leifsen put it to music almost makes you miss it... but this song, IMO, everything was beautiful: the words, the music, the phrasing...

And of course you were right, it was on "Hold Your Fire", late eighties Rush... (and I wouldn't call it cheating either)...

oh... and nice choice for a new clue! I'll let some of the (other) old timers answer...

Yep, you got it Sharon!

Saw them live with blues traveller and 4 other bands who's names escape me now. Allman Bro's was the last act and Whippin' post was the encore. Dickie Betts was back with them and every song they did, of course was a never ending jam. But Whippin' post, man, they must have streached that out for more than 20 minutes! It was great!

Yes, I hope noone minds but she's under the weather so I picked up this thread as well as Name that Flick, if it's a problem I'll bow out.

Of course it's not a problem... and in that case I'll guess... hmmm ... something written by Jim Stienman

Two out of three ain't bad... sung by Meat Loaf (real name Marvin Aday, from Dallas) :biglaugh:

And now... a four word clue to one of the seminal songs of my generation:

CALL OUT THE INSTIGATOR
