I hope OldGrouch sees this particular video as I was talking about it to him a few weeks ago.
Here you go OG and everyone else interested in some mandolin/cello/bass/etc music!
The unstoppably awesome Kate Bush, with Experiment IV. It is a song about a secret facility where researchers experimenting with sound are commissioned by the military to create a sound which will kill anybody who hears it. The video was banned from Top of the Pops for being too scary, and the violin section, inspired by the shower scene of Psycho was not included upon the single for the same reason. I think it's an awesome song though, and the video is wonderfully theatrical to boot, with appearances by Hugh Laurie and Dawn French.
You're a dreamer
At times you're surprisingly innocent
You are stronger
Yes, much much more than you think you are
Your smile doesn't change, and you don't give up
No matter what
That's why I'm proud of you
But every day's a winding road
Unable to get
Everything like you want, you come to a stop, but
Let's forget the tears and sadness
And walk, brighter day
Write a story just for you
In your heart night and day
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
Come on, raise your face, and let's go together
Brighter day
You're a fighter
But at times you're full of scars
You're a winner
Your hand changes even pain into kindness
Your eyes shine dazzlingly
I'm at a loss
for words for how much you're standin' out
But every day's a winding road
The future you dreamed of
Is different, and you come to a stop in the present, but
Let's forget the tears and sadness
And walk, brighter day
Until sometime when you grip glory
In your hands, fight and pray
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
Come on, let's go like this anywhere
Brighter day
Sky's are the limit; we'll fly off
Into a still unseen world, and taste the unknown
You know that life goes on and on
Even if we hesitate
We won't look back on the path we've chosen
Let's forget the tears and sadness
And walk, brighter day
Write a story just for you
In your heart night and day
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
Come on, raise your face, and let's go together
Brighter day
