#ThursdayFiveList goes #UnderCover
1) "The night" - Intastella
Stella and her sleeperblokes pay homage to Frankie Valli's northern soul classic.
https://song.link/gb/i/1536412774
2) "The whole of the moon" - Little Caesar
From the 1990 craze for dance covers of well-remembered songs from the recent past. This helped convince Ensign Records that there was a market for Waterboys music, hence their best-of a year later.

any #Waterboys fans out there? This is great:
The Waterboys's A Wild and Beautiful Ride is a new 48-minute documentary exploring the creation of their latest album Life, Death And Dennis Hopper, inspired by the life and career of Dennis Hopper. A Wild and Beautiful Ride includes music from the album, location footage shot in New Mexico, and intimate reflections from the band’s lead singer and guitarist Mike Scott, who spent four years crafting the record. -

"Wrote by #MikeScott after reading #DeeBrown's book. Originally intended for the first #Waterboys album it was inexplicably left off and only appeared subsequently on the 12" single of The big music."
"We're God's chosen people
This and other truths I know
Put them into vicious practice
Because the bible tells me so
And I drowned the noble savage
In the blessed holy water
I burned his filthy village
And I civilized his daughterThe liars in this world
Who say we shame the blood of Christ
But killing is his mercy
And nits grow into lice
And all those gooks I napalmed
Man, I did it in God's name
When the fools put me on trial I shouted out
I'm not to blame -- I did it for him!
I did it for him!I did it for him!
He made do it!
He tore the heavens apartBury my heart!
Bury my heart!
Bury my heart!"

So, working on my #KarlWallinger / #ShuhadaSadaqat ( #SineadOconnor ) tribute. Trying to condense my favorite songs into an hour was impossible. Working version is an hour and a half of music with some commentary. Found myself crying by the end of it. I think I hit the right chords.

Only burgers tonight so not a lot of effort involved 😊 -
The Waterboys, Bury My Heart
"Bury my soul
Where the dust meets the sea
Turn it loose in a lonely place
Where man can still be free
Make up my clothes and sheets
In a ball, put them in the ground
Tell my children only truths
Teach them to be proud
Tell them dreams and miracles
When thy thunder stops
Bury my heart!Bury my heart!
I was born a travelling trooper
But I laid my wings to rest
Once I beat myself in squallor
Now I feather up my nest
There are flags in my back yard
Colours on my wall
I pay my servant well
But I made the bastard crawl
And I pretend no blessed evil soul
That I don't hear that thunder start
Bury my heart!There's a lily in the valley
Where I brought the news to Ro
I offered him my visions but
The heathen rose to go
So I took my shining sabre and I slew
My sinning friend
A christian burial was all he needed
To make him whole again
And I looked up way above me
And God rent the sky apart
Bury my heart!Bury my heart!
Bury my heart!We're God's chosen people
This and other truths I know
Put them into vicious practice
Because the bible tells me so
And I drowned the noble savage
In the blessed holy water
I burned his filthy village
And I civilized his daughterThe liars in this world
Who say we shame the blood of Christ
But killing is his mercy
And nits grow into liceAnd all those gooks I napalmed
Man, I did it in God's name
When the fools put me on trial I shouted out
I'm not to blame -- I did it for him!
I did it for him!I did it for him!
He made do it!
He tore the heavens apartBury my heart!
Bury my heart!
Bury my heart!Now I'm going to wilderness
On a horse that I can trust
I will die where I fall
In the hot dry dust
And if you come to that place
Remember this truthThat he who's born to property
Is he who's born to lose
Will you bury my soul
Where the dust meets the sea
Will you bury my heart
At Wounded Knee!
Bury my heart
At Wounded Knee!
Bury my heart
At Wounded Knee!
Bury my heart!"- Mike Scott, The Waterboys, 1984

Ik ben enorm fan van de oude #Waterboys (#ThisIsTheSea) en dacht dat niemand hun impact ooit zou kunnen evenaren. En toen zag ik op weblog @sargasso een versie van #TheWholeOfTheMoon door #FionaApple voorbij komen...

On my coach back down to Portsmouth. Surprised to bump into a couple of other #Waterboys fans. It was their first time seeing them play live and they were blown away by them ☺️

Con su tercer trabajo #ThisIsTheSea, publicado el 16 de septiembre de 1985, los #Waterboys firmemente encabezados por #MikeScott logran la majestuosidad. El compositor se sintió de tal manera realizado que aseguró que era "el disco en el que logré todas mis ambiciones musicales de juventud". Fue tal el reconocimiento, pero sobe todo la satifacción personal, durante este período denominado como “Big Sound” que la banda a partir de ahí se orientó hacia la música flolklórica escocesa e irlandesa.

@Efneal We need more gleeful interaction! I think of the Waterboys' 1984 song, "Somebody Might Wave Back."
"Seven O'clock in the morning and I'm riding the overnight train
I've got ten tonnes of luggage but I left it behind when I came
I look at my watch, says September seventeen
We're riding past some place where I've never been
And I'm waving through the window as we go
Somebody says 'Well, hey, what are you waving at?'
Well what have I got to lose
Somebody might wave back..." -
Wonderful to see #MikeScott being recognised with an episode in the Great Songwriter series on Sky Arts right now.

I've had dreams/visions of the coming times... What the Hopi referred to as #PurifcationDay. Will you defend #MotherEarth? If I am to sacrifice myself for a single cause, it would be to defend #LifeOnEarth. It is the one thing I know for certain....
"I wanna be a witness
Or a victim to your spell
Crackling in lightening
Dressed in shadows
Red like a carouselI want to be there
When the savage comes
I want to be there
When the savage comes
When your savage earth heart
... Cuts through"Will you lay all of your
Deepest wildest secrets bare?
Will you let all of those
Rumbling old gods take rage?
I want to be there
When the savage comes
I want to be there
When the savage comes
When your savage earth heart
Cuts through!"Then I was taken smoothly
By the vulture of the soul
That hideous strength
That numbs the tongue
And he led me like a cinder
Through the fields of hell
To doubt my friends and to hate myself
But when my savage earth heart
... Cuts through"
- Michael Scott, The Waterboys, 1985https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IxGv4AkhVU

The Return of Pan, from the album Dream Harder is my choice for #WaterboysWednesday
It's such an uplifting track and one that I never tire of listening to. #Waterboys

The newly released reissue of A Rock in the Weary Land for this week's #WaterboysWednesday
It's the first time it's been available on #vinyl and I love the sky blue colour.

Corn Circles for #WaterboysWednesday
Derided by some, adored by others. I love this track. #Waterboys

@sharongascoigne Still prefer the absolutely sublime studio version, but glad to have heard this one too. This Is the Sea and Fisherman’s Blues are the only #Waterboys albums I know well. (Played both so much that I had to replace both.) Love how #TheWaterboys and #WaterboysWednesday tags on Masto are stretching my experience with this unfortunately relatively little-known band. I’ve never understood how they stayed under so many people’s radar after those two phenomenal albums from the 1980s.

One of their most beautiful songs (in my opinion) for #WaterboysWednesday

This is the best line up for a festival that I've seen in years!
Absolutely gutted I can't go. Firstly there's no one I could convince to come with me, but also I'm running my own stall at another local festival that weekend.
