I’m sure the photos are still there, the link has accidently repointed/shifted when a new album was posted.

What is it with “Please Mr Postman/Wipeout”? It’s been in the most viewed spot forever, week after week. It certainly has a powerful longing, wanting something feel to it expressed so beautifully by Mona and Lisa’s vocals. It’s more compelling than the Beatles and Carpenters version to me.

“May was the time when I
Had to say goodbye
Oh June, would you come along
And bring my baby home”
“Remember January
When we first met
And a beautiful February
We’ll never forget
A perfect March and April
But raindrops today
“Oh June, please come
And take the rain away
Oh June, please come
And take the rain away”
I love June, such a song of longing and passion, especially this time of year. It moves me deeply whenever I hear it.

I sometimes enjoy city street scenes from the early 1900s restored to color. It brings those black and white faded footages to life. It takes you back in time and gives you a glimpse of what it was like in living color.
People seemed more daring walking into the streets mingling with the traffic. I suppose the cars were a lot slower then, so perhaps appeared less dangerous.

And what about this one, has a bit of WHY? album art work vibe for me.

Supertramp’s “Even In the Quietest Moment” album cover always stood out to me. It’s a sight that would be hard to find in nature for sure, unless a grand piano fell out of the sky from a plane and landed on top of a snow covered mountain. It also represents a kind of humanity with it’s art and culture, taming the wild and cruel beast of nature for me.

Hi Mike, Jacki
Thanks for sharing your stories, and sorry to hear about your parents struggle with dementia. It is such a cruel disease, I felt so helpless when my mom went through it. It was like an unrelenting rising tide you couldn’t stop no matter what you did. Kind words from people who went through the same thing with a loved one was about the only thing that gave some comfort at the time.

That’s sad to hear about Gordon Lightfoot. He wrote and left us some timeless brilliant songs. His best was “Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald”. It’s one of the songs over the decades I had to stop what I was doing and listen to with intent if I heard it, or turn up the volume if it came on the radio while I drove.

Hi Steve
I agree, great art expresses what we are feeling inside in ways we couldn’t express our self that is the magic, and that is exactly what WHY? does.
The deception and lies certainly continue, and the problem is the world has become increasingly desensitized. That is when terrible things can happen. People need to “raise their head”.

Wow a 100 Million views, that is amazing. I’m waiting for the day a single MLT original will pull those kinds of views in short order.

This album cover art is certainly open to interpretation. When I first saw it, I envisioned a kind of fool going about oblivious to what’s going on in the world around him, a kind of “Raise Your Head” scenario, but then I can see your perspective about human will and motivation that can rise above all the chaos going around in the world. It’s very interesting the two perspectives this album art cover of “crisis, what crisis” can evoke.
That Martin Vatter piano piece is really beautiful, especially those piano runs. I listened while looking at the 3 photos you posted, and I can feel a connection. The music and the images feel similar. When someone composes music, they are trying to express in music what they are feeling, and it appears Martin was quite successful in expressing what he was feeling looking at the forest in lake landscape painting.

Hi Jurgen
That piece by Kitaro is very relaxing, thanks. This and the Supertramp album cover reminds me of an old Japanese Anime story of a broken down mystic grand piano in a forest that would only play when a little boy plays it, and gives him powers to become a genius pianist. I wonder if this Anime was inspired at all by Even In The Quietest Moment.

Hi Chris
Some interesting facts you found. I guess in a per 100,000 people ratio, 114 is much worse than 120 in 10 or 20 million people. There was certainly much more variety in car models back then I suppose. I have a couple of pocket watches from 1905 and 1909 that is still running and keeping time like a time capsule from those times. Seeing the past always fascinates me. Things feel like they were made with more elegance and beauty back then compared to now.

Hi Tim
It’s great technology how they were able to colorize and sharpen the details at 60 FPS. Yeah, I guess in those days the bicycles were almost as fast as the cars. It’s interesting in 100 years, our world today will look and feel like that to someone viewing it in ultra high definition 3d hologram. In the one clip there is this little 2 or 3 year old girl, I’m not sure what exact year that footage was taken, but she would be at least 103 years old today if she were alive.

I never knew they used that song in Superman. I tried finding that scene but couldn’t yet. On another Superman gas station scene with the sheriff I found, you can hear Blondie “Heart of Glass” in the background.
Interestingly on the topic of great songs in movies, when I first heard MLT’s “Jump Ship”, I just couldn’t help but envision in my mind it would make a perfect song for a James Bond movie.
