Thanks, Ginny! By the way, what's a "Tengster"?

by **Ginny** » Wed Dec 13, 2006 9:49 pm

There is a system in place for identifying members who have made certain numbers of posts, like when you're new it says 'howdy, stranger' and then it eventually says 'cool stranger,' then 'warm stranger,' and 'hot stranger,' etc. I might be out of order on that but those are some of the names that I remember seeing pop up. I don't know at what number the label "Tengster" pops up but I believe I've been one for quite awhile...my rating should probably replace the word 'Tengster' with the phrase 'get a hobby.'

Indeed- and a new member able to make touch decisions, unlike this member here, LOL. This was just too tough an assignment!

Welcome - hope you stick around.

I'm a bit late to join the thread, but here's my list:

Waking Hour: Momentum, Gravity, Lullabye For a Stormy Night
Warm Strangers: Feather Moon, Harbor, Shine
Dreaming Through the Noise: Nothing Without You, Pontchartrain, Recessional

It's funny; I bought Warm Strangers on the strength of "Homecoming",... and it's not even in my top three. Similarly, I really, really like Now Three, and before the album came out, I was sure it was the most beautiful song ever; but something is missing in the recording, and the three I chose for this poll are just SO good that Now Three got bumped off my list.

Of course it's only natural, being a serious musician, that the most inventive songs, musically, would make my list. This includes Momentum, Feather Moon, Harbor, Pontchartrain, and Recessional. And I originally got hooked on Nothing Without You when it was a guitar song tuned in open-C# tuning with a lot of nifty half-barre chords. The fact that I still like it as a piano song in the key of D just means it's a good song anyway.

Lullabye and Gravity I like for much simpler reasons: because Lullabye is gorgeous and Gravity rocks! And Shine is a simple song but it has a positive message, and as much as I like the music for My Medea, words do occasionally make a song.

Oh I'm determined to stick around this time. I don't know, the decisions were pretty easy. Some hit me in the right spots more than others. I think it's a rhythmic thing.

But I think I now have to add Signal Fire to that list of things I love. It's in that....mildly atonal folksey kind of manner than I think is very musical.

Waking Hour~ Daughter, Drought, and Soon Love Soon
