It's taken me four attempts to watch this video. Not because it's hard to get through, I just keep realising a few minutes in that I'm just singing along to that amazing song and amn't listening to a word the guy's saying about it.

It's been my go-to song for testing music gear for decades now, as well as my go-to when I'm feeling chill, feeling down, feeling like I want to feel something or nothing, or just want to dream.

I think Echoes is my duvet made audible.

*promote Steven Bikos story and this brilliant performance of an amazing song.

I hate that fucking TV show so much.

Ozzy was always a messed up shambles, but it didn't matter, because he was Ozzy Fucking Osbourne, godfather of metal and writer of War Pigs, Paranoid, Iron Man and about a million other amazing songs. He was our* messed up shambles.

Now? He's been appropriated into wider culture, most of whom know nothing about the immense cultural contribution he's made to music.

Don't get me wrong; I'm glad he got clean and I hope he's happy with where he is, but it genuinely saddens me that he'll be remembered as that shambolic old guy who yells "Sharon!" while trying to work an over complicated TV remote.

* our = metal fans.

The man has won my heart. Just an amazing song.

This amazing song is by Yael Naim, the chick who did that song in the original Macbook Air ad.

Gotye really does do some amazing songs and videos. This is the third or fourth to show up here, and they've all been quite interesting, to both ear and eye.

Now that is one amazing song

amazing song, and one of the best music videos I've ever seen.

Amazing song. Fripp is brilliant. Interpretive dance doesn't help the song.


Is he the guitarist? Yeah, hot stuff. I remember the song from one of my favorite movies, Velvet Goldmine.

Definitely an amazing song - There's no doubt Dolly Parton has more talent on the inside than she has on the outside - and that's saying something!

(For those that don't know: "Jolene" is a song written and performed by Dolly Parton from her album Jolene (1974), produced by Bob Ferguson. It is ranked #217 on the Rolling Stone magazine's list of "the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time". - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jolene_%28song%29)

I know well Eric Bogle's version of this, he being who actually wrote it.

But MAN, I didn't know it had been covered so, so many times!

Amazing song, very powerful

That was such a great use of this amazing song!

If you guys enjoy this stuff, check out a series of albums called "pickin on" There are probably around a hundred or so albums of nothing but bluegrass covers. Some of my favorites include
Pickin on classic rock
Pickin on green day
Pickin on AC/DC
Pickin on the White stripes
Pickin on widespread panic
Pickin on the Grateful Dead

The cover of Southern Cross by Crosby Stills and Nash on pickin on classic rock 2 is incredible..

In fact, I think I'll sift a live version of the original, damn that's an amazing song
update edit: http://videosift.com/video/Southern-Cross-live-by-Crosby-Stills-and-Nash

you can preview the pickin on version on amazon but that's the best I could find

There are so many amazing songs by Bob Dylan that I'm totally oblivious of. Wow!
