Just wanna post a song as a tribute to my mothers girlfriend who never became my mother-in-law although me and my girlfriend never have been planning to marry or anything. She died on the day that rarely is, 29th of February, due to complications after an hip operation that caused a massive heart attack. I often hear people saying they do not fear dying and it is easy to day that but as we saw my girlfriends mother the day after in the small morgue chapel I suddenly felt no fear when it comes to death.

The cover that is better than the original seemed fitting somehow.

Sorry about the link to a shortened version of it. This is the real deal taken from the great days of MTV's 120 Minutes:

Fates Warning - Don't Follow Me



I haven't heard this song in years. And even though the whole album sounds like an Adult Contemporary version of Iron Maiden, I must admit to still really loving this song (from my pre-adolescent Power Metal days. ).

It's easily my favorite song from them/the album (Parallels). That said, not all the songs on Parallels were particularly great/memorable anyway, due at least in part to the (IMHO) rather stark and cold, dated, uber-90's production and occasionally cheesy drum programming.

I received a quite moving email from an old Solo friend who asked me if I at least could remain on Solo to post what music I listen to and post things that happen in Sweden. I see no reason why I shouldn't do so and I hope I have the mods permission to post in this thread and the one about what happens in Sweden.

Just now I am reliving the music of swedish folk music band "Garmarna" who made the genre a bit more modern. They are influenced by old myths and stories from the old times in Sweden when people believed in mysterious creatures of nature and were more superstitious. What make this band great in my view is the female singer who sings in a style that were common way back.

From the album "Guds Spelemän" (Gods musicians):

....there's always a line you don't cross
Time is short
Don't be cruel
Oh you don't know the power
In what you're saying....

Oh Morrissey...

This song took me some 20 years back. When most people travelled to sunny nice places the swedish band The Mobile Homes travelled to depressing places in Germany to get inspiration. You could hardly describe these boys as optimistic or upbeat but them choosing german electric plants instead of the beach made them and their music and lyrics very interesting. Lyrics that you could easily relate to even 20 years later.

"When you say do as I do and scrap your fey ways."

They've done a great job of the viva hate remaster, Dial a cliche in particular is different song.
