MORE BEAUTY IN SONG
VA - More Beauty In Song CD1+CD2 (A Butterboy Compilation) (2 x CD's)
I truly enjoy rock songs that are best described as beautiful. They capture your heart and give you time to think. Some spark your imagination and rekindle fond (sometimes, painful) memories. That beauty is mostly in the melody and the lyric. Many are love songs and others are simply beautiful ballads which combines poignant lyrics. A beautiful song may also be just about the music, a soulful melody, and gentle refrain, soothing guitar riff or a striking guitar solo which is a fitting instrumentation to set the song apart. Some songs are so striking you get an emotional connection immediately.
There are thousands of songs that could fall into the above categories and which effect us individually. Some artists or bands that have many songs that could be classed as beautiful. I have tried to limit song choices to include only one song by an artist but there are two entries for The Beatles, Van Morrison and John Lennon. I hope you enjoy the tracks I have chosen for these compilations. Warning , Beauty is in the ear of the beholder...
Tomorrow I will post Part 3, VA - The Most Beautiful Classical (A Butterboy Compilation)

Another fine collection of known-and-welcome, and never-heard-of-so-I-must listen. Thanks for this one, too, Butter... you can't get much more subjective than this. Nice perspective, and choices!
ReplyDeleteThere will be a few more in the series at a later date, Any suggestion you have will be treated with respect.
DeleteThis compilation is probably one of the hardest I have had to do. I have so much music I constantly have flashes of songs I should have included. So I will say there is no order to the choices, Simply there are songs I find beautiful.
Have a great week.
Cheers
... it's the never-heard-of-so-I-must listen songs that I find the greatest to discover.
DeleteQuite agree, sir! And alongside all your other happy visitors here, I'll give thought to suggestions for later volumes... and that's a mighty tall order, Doc, as they say.
DeleteAnd I was going to suggest a while back - and you've beaten me to it again! - that if you ever run out of compilation ideas (not likely anytime soon, I wager), you might toss ideas/themes out there, and give folks a week, or 48 hours, to offer up their suggested artists/titles. Then shuffle their cards together into something disk-length. Maybe call the compilations something like "ButterBoy's Listener Selections"?
...an idea only; let's not make you any busier than you are. Music is for pleasure. Thank you for all the generous shares from your vast library... and for your deep familiarity with the world of music.
That is a great idea. "ButterBoy's Listener Selections" or "Listeners Choices"/with a theme
DeleteMaybe down the track a bit.
Cheers
Just don't load so much on your plate that you can't carry it from the buffet bar to your table. As was highlighted in "Mr. Holland's Opus", music is supposed to be fun... so please see to that first. You've shown us very well that there'll always be great stuff showing up "down the track a bit". Ahhh...
Delete...and looking forward to the most-beautiful Classical tomorrow - almost redundant, so it'll be very illuminating.
ReplyDeleteI listened to it yesterday and I am happy with the choices. Of course there are also many more beautiful classical pieces, for another time.
DeleteHow could one not include classical music in a most beautiful music compilation?
Cheers
Hi,
ReplyDeletethanks for another great Butterboy Compilation!!! always discovering new music with you.
Thanks a lot... sincerely!
Regards
Hi Il Commendatore,
DeleteThat the aim. Something old something new.
Cheers
Thanks again for these "Beauty" full comps. I won't continue with anymore suggestions ("Arms of Mary" by The Sutherland Brothers & Quiver--oops, that slipped out!). But now that they've been brought up-I'd love to see a nice collection of the highly underrated and mostly forgotten musical conglomerate emanating from the Brothers Sutherland, Gavin & Iain, with or without Quiver. "(I Don't Want to Love You But) You Got Me Anyway", "Arms of Mary" and "Sailing" (hit for Rod Stewart) are their better known songs, but "The Pie" and "Real Love" are two of my favorite songs ever. For albums, I'd start with Reach for the Sky, but you can't go wrong with Slipstream, Lifeboat, Beat of the Street . . . hell, I'm just a fan, but I know most fans of melodic rock would love their stuff.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ice x.
ReplyDeleteCheers
