Speaking of Ben Folds, that one makes me laugh, this one makes me cry:

I canât get enough of The Connellsâ âStarsâ at the moment which someone else posted on here (thank you!) but these 2 tracks reminded me of the closing/end song for Richard Linklaterâs film Boyhood - Hero by Family of the Year

Richard Linklaterâs film Boyhood
I loved that movie. Thanks for posting that song, I didnât remember it. I only saw the movie once and Iâm not sure I could watch it again even though I thought it was great.
Yes, likewise. Some end credit songs really seem to stay with me. Another is Nod ya Head (Men in Black) and also Coldplayâs The Scientist as sung by Willie Nelson at the end of The Judge.
Listening to the Beatles today. Maybe youâve heard of them?

Youâve just reminded me of this live version of âYesterdayâ by Willie Nelson which he introduces as being by âa pretty fair little country group known as the Beatles.â The album (Willie Nelson - Live: I Gotta Get Drunk) is from 1976 but Iâm not sure when it was recorded. I donât think it was the first Willie album I owned but it was among them. It would have also been among the first albums I ever owned in general.

My actual favorite Beatles song is âPenny Laneâ. The piccolo trumpet solo during the instrumental break is one of the greatest things in music history.

If you listen to this manâs voice and guitar with your eyes closed there is something just so special and beautiful about it.

Speaking of the Beatles, coincidentally today I see Paul has finished up âNow and Thenâ (the third song they started to put together for Anthology after âFree as a Birdâ and âReal Loveâ, but they never finished it) and itâs being released as âthe last Beatles songâ next week.
Iâll give it a listen. Some people didnât like the Anthology songs but I was fine with them.

Now and Then:
Itâs, you know, fine. I do think it sounds better than Free as a Bird or Real Love.
I donât listen to any R. E.M post Hi Fi. To me Bill took a significant part of the bandâs mojo and magic. Each following album seems a bit more lame. I know Iâll probably get flamed for this. One factor is the lyrics. When I look back on how brilliant they were at their peak, itâs just depressing. Iâm not even sure which album or even song itâs from the song that has âIâm a lamb without a rackâ and other banalities on it I just went cold. I gave every post Bill album a listen. This was not the band I was so passionate about. They seemed to be treading water. Each album was less good following. Itâs reflected in the sales figures so itâs not just me. Up has its moments, but after that Iâd rather look for another artist to fill the REM hole. And I was such a devoted fan! I would travel to see them, even to other countries.
I know this is an unpopular opinion, especially here, but itâs how I feel.
From the past week or so.

âCome As You Areâ
Continuing my trend this year of âfinally return to going to the movie theater post COVID but only seeing old moviesâ, went to see Gladiator last night. (Though itâs not that old, I saw it in the theater the first time right before I graduated high school.)
Anyway I have always loved that soundtrack. Especially from the opening Germania battle, which is one of my favorite movie battle scenes. Iâm glad this movie was made before everything got too CGIâd up.
That music is at least 75% cribbed from âMars, Bringer of Warâ, but who cares. Steal from the best.

@Pelagius42 âNew album or EP?â
The vocals are quiet like a mouse in the background. Iâd like to hear the vocals louder & urgent. And yes, it could be a really good album or EP
