Yes!
Finally, someone else listened to this.
This is an amazing, absolutely incredible piece of music. Totally devastating.
Definitely. It's really remarkable and I love the subtle transitions, especially throughout the second half. As devastating as it is though, it's strangely uplifting and cathartic so it never becomes depressing. It somehow captures the feelings of accepting an inevitable death with dignity that the musicians on the Titanic must have been going through at the time. I know you mentioned Bryars here before so when I saw a positive review of his new (I believe live) version of this, I decided to check out the original version and Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet. Thanks so much for bringing him to my attention!Quoting Daniel Davis (view post)
What do you think of this?Quoting Derek (view post)
I haven't heard it yet. I just heard Titanic today, so I'm not quite ready to jump right into that one. I will post some thoughts here once I do, hopefully this week. What do you think of it?Quoting Daniel Davis (view post)
I haven't listened to anything else by him yet.Quoting Derek (view post)
