Nord's retro music thread

[Nord Christian]

Music had a big impact on my life. Brought me up through the hard time, prior to coming to the Lord. Yes, it was a bandaid of sorts, but it tugs at the strings of my heart.

I will post from YT, songs ranging from the 60's-90's. Music from Canadian,
US, GB and other parts of Europe. Rock, Pop, Soul, and even some Country.

Am Christian, and will try to refrain from posting videos that have lyrical references to fornication, drugs, foul language etc.

I welcome anyone who wants to post their favorite videos to do so!
Even welcome comment, if anyone has any.

A beautiful song from up your way. One of my favorites.

That was a nice tune by Gord. He had a great career and is still going.

A great cover of the Platters. Outstanding Richard Manuel vocal and Garth Hudson keyboards. Both your countrymen.

That was a pretty good cover of that Platters song. To me though, nothing beats the originals. And I'd never heard of Moondog Matinee.

I find it interesting you post xtc considering Andy partridge's very public bashing of Christianity.

 

[jayem]

If you like doo wop, this is a very cool song. Has a great Latin flair. I can't believe it never made the top 40.

I like it, Jayem! Some very good harmonizing in it.

I didn't know this.:o Hopefully the man will turn to the Lord before it's too late for him. Regardless, I do like the songs, and as far as I know there are no blasphemous lyrics in the songs I've posted by XTC.

Just avoid "dear god"

Just avoid "dear god"

Thanks, Lewis! You got it!

I think I recall seeing the video years ago. It was the one with the kid sitting and singing in that tree, if I remember.

Not familiar with the lyrics of that song. But yeah, from what you're telling me, I will skip that one for sure!

1978 Canadian band from British Columbia. Very popular, good band back in the day. Lead singer RA McGuire had a good, unique sound to his voice. This wasn't a big hit, but I still like the sound. They are still touring.

Love the Alice Cooper clip. There was a Christian band who covered this from time to time when they performed. I think maybe it was Echoing Green.

I'd never heard of Echoing Green. I'll have to check them out.
I do like this song, but does it have NWO, transhumanism and
illuminati type overtones? Maybe I'm delving too much into
conspiracy theory here, but that's the impression I get from
the lyrics. And this is from 1980!

1985. Good song that was based on a true story. Fairly long into. Doug starts singing at 1:07
