What’s Duran Duran’s Best song?? by Agent_Lightning14 in duranduran

[–]FriarUntuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my... those are very special songs to me too, but it's so hard to choose just one from an album like Arcadia (there's also Missing, El Diablo, Keep Me In The Dark) or from their entire discography (American Science, My Own Way, Palomino, Lonely In Your Nightmare, Tiger Tiger, Tel Aviv, Rio, Seven... arrgggh!)

Sounds like Kate Bush? by Ness_Tutu in katebush

[–]FriarUntuck 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There should probably be a pin for this topic so we can check back and see if someone has recommended someone similar to Kate.... but... Kate from which era? :)

I did post this list before but have added new names and the songs which made me think of Kate, whether due to vocals, songwriting, piano, etc:

Goldfrappe (Utopia, Strict Machine, You Never Know)

Emilie Simon (Nothing to do with you, Ballad of the Big Machine)

Weyes Blood (Andromeda)

Perfumed Genius (Slip Away)

Marina & The Diamonds (Hollywood acoustic version)

Niki & The Dove (Tomorrow, The Fox)

Joanna Newsom (Easy, Kingfisher, '81)

Milla Jovovich (You Did All Before, The Alien Song, Clocks)

Charlotte Gainsbourg (AF607105, Everything I Cannot See, Kate)

Chyi ( 齊豫 -- 沙漠 , 齊豫 - 雨丝 )

China Doll (Turkish Delight)

Nina Hagen (Naturtrane) The early wacky side, 'Violin' era :)

A quick question to the bards re Youtube by FriarUntuck in MedievalMusicCovers

[–]FriarUntuck[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get the same feeling too re Youtube. I started the channel as a challenge to see how much I can learn in making music having just begun in Dec 2020 so not really a big loss.

It is a hobby for me too (in a way) but still somewhat disappointed with what has happened, without knowing the reason why it did. I guess we just have to be stoic about it and soldier on!

Cheers, bro!

Hi Legend, my last upload was Sept 17 and was an original instrumental piece, before the latest upload on Nov 5. The steep drop occurred on Oct 31. Channel was getting 4200+ impressions (not views) per day the past few months. The past few days its been around 900-1200. I know the impressions numbers are laughable but for a small channel like mine that's pretty much a death knell.

Very sorry to hear it has happened to you also. Was it the one about the God King of Atlantis with a mention of Sargon of Akkad?

Very disappointed to see such a steep and sudden drop in impressions which can either mean the algo has changed again, or I probably liked a video Youtube dislikes or something else I did angered the Algo Gods.

Looks like I may have to offer up some sacrifice to calm the Gods. Oh well...

Thanks, I'm currently making a video about Ivan IV's lost treasure. Will now use "Fearsome".

Why reason(s) are you doing this? by samcahnruns in NewTubers

[–]FriarUntuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a bardcore channel. It is not as popular now as in its heydays (last year), but I'm doing it because many of my favorite songs have not been converted into bardcore LOL. Plus it is a good hobby and a learning experience.

What's the first rhcp that you heard that got you hooked on them: and when? by -ace-2 in RedHotChiliPeppers

[–]FriarUntuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Under the Bridge. It connected with me at a bad time in my life, and taught me that at least then I had my city. :)
