Exellent, just loved how it progressed.

I think now it is time for a bit of Opera. Now I know for some of you it is hard to follow, but if I set the scene I am sure you will find it a worthwhile experience.

Rigoletto's opera Donna's Cellphone, or Donna's mobile, depending on which side of the Atlantic you are from.
In this scene our hero home from work as a veterinary surgeon, and zoo owner celebrates a successful operation on an Elephants ear, He is very pleased with the operation on the elephants ear as it is the first thing that has gone well for the zoo for some time. The scene ends with two villans saying what bad deeds they have done in the zoo, one saying it was I who pushed her over evil dead, and it ends with the poignant words I rolled over on the beaver.

Like! 8.93 on the likeometer, to be exact. Such an athletic voice and a wonderful song too. (I thought this song cam out before mobile phones but I guess not.) In another mood this one could have scored much higher. Not really an opera moment for me but still very nice.

I wanted to find what I think is an Indian song accompanied by the Kronos Quartet. But I can't find it on youtube. So here is the same singer accompanied by a much larger orchestra. It is her singing that I especially like and it doesn't really get going until almost a minute and a half in. Haunting voice but certainly not operatic. I have no idea what she is saying but I like the sound of it.

4/10 - Listening to it over, trying to really pinpoint a reason for my slight dislike of this song. I dunno'. Must be the singer/language/style of the vocals because I picture myself liking this if one of the front women from some of my favourite songs were in her place. Then, I don't think the sound heard from this song's instruments would prove worthy for one of those goddess' voices. Meh.

8/10 - Never listened much to Led Zeppelin, but that particular song is pretty cool.

Holy fucking shit. That song enlarged my world. I'm significantly more now from having listened to it. 15.5/10. The scales need to be expanded for it.

I can't hope to match it, but here is my offering.
