Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
You know, I'm a little worried that Bowie hasn't done anything since he had heart problems seven years ago.
He was pretty markedly missing from the closing ceremonies.
Bowie turned down an offer to perform. They mention his absence from the public eye, but don't mention his health.
He has really done nothing since he had major heart surgery in 2004. Just a few guest appearances.
Hey P-C, I really like that GroupLove album you recommended on FB. Thanks!
Oh, yay!! Glad you like it.
Looking for, not sad, per se, but slow fiddle music, like Thomas Newman's score from The Horse Whisperer [link] or Jeff Beal from Carnivale [link] or the bookends of Seminole Wind [link] but, not a score or soundtrack. I don't even know what to search for. I keep winding up with jigs and rags and bagpipes and Cajun music when I'm looking for sorrowful or contemplative or just ambient.
The first half of this medley, "The Women of Ireland" by Laurie Lewis is exactly what you're looking for. Unfortunately, it's followed by an uptempo tune.
Here, The Chieftains do a lovely version of "Women of Ireland".
You basically want to search for "Irish Fiddle Lament" and you'll get lovely pieces like this slow air.
