Kraftwerk
The Robots (1978)
With two sentences in Russian (!):
Я ТВОЙ СЛУГА.
Я ТВОЙ РАБОТНИК.
(I AM YOUR SERVANT.
I AM YOUR WORKER.)
That last word (transliterated RABOTNIK) is, of course, a close relative of ROBOT.
(Recall that РАБ (RAB) and РОБ (ROB) are two forms of a Slavic word for SLAVE.)
Rush
Working Man
(From Canada, 1974.)
... 07:00, 09:00, 17:00, da capo ...
Deep Purple
Son of Alerik
(instrumental)
***
I don't manage to find out who this Alerik is.
Maybe Ritchie Blackmore keeps that a secret.
The well-known king of the Visigoths is Alaric (by the way, he was born in the northeastern corner of the Balkans, on an island in the delta of the Danube).
Emerson, Lake and Palmer
Footprints in the Snow
Diana Express
Legacy
(Originally from the 1980s.)
A little musical metaphor for the day.
"I used to waste myself about and around,
Something kept weighing on me like a rock,
But in the end I came to my senses by myself,
I planted two peach trees and two cherry trees.
...
There's nothing you can say about decay
If this world, since time immemorial full of sin,
Will inherit from me after me
Two peach trees and two cherry trees."
Queen
"A nice little medley for you":
Bohemian Rhapsody
Killer Queen
March of the Black Queen
Bohemian Rhapsody
Exactly fifty years and two days ago
(A Night at the Odeon, 1975-12-24).
In those days Freddie Mercury still announced the name of the song.
At any time an invitation you can't decline
...
To avoid complications,
She never kept the same address.
In conversations,
She spoke just like a baroness.
And Nobody Played Synthesizers!

Brain Damage
(1973)
On this XIV day before the Calends of January,
shortly before a New Moon,
shortly before a Solstice.
***
The lunatic is in the hall
The Lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the Paper Boy brings more
And if the Cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout, and no one seems to hear
And if the Band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the Dark Side of the Moon
***
There is no dark side of the Moon, really.
As a matter of fact it's all dark.
Alan Parsons Project
Ammonia Avenue
And who are we to justify
Deriding all we do
Until we seek, until we find
Ammonia Avenue
_________
The title comes from a sign in a chemical plant.
FUGUE STATE - Single out !
Fugue state...unpredictable de-tachments from the self...state of amnesia ...triggered by traumatic shi... escaping an unbearable...unresolvable situation...like an animal…cornered - a familiar condition…

Hold On
This performance is better than the studio recording.
Hold on, baby, hold on,
'Cause it's closer than you think
And you're standing on the brink
Your tomorrow's not the same as today
Ramble Tamble from Credence Clearwater Revival (Cosmo's Factory). A superb piece of music - sounds just as good today as when I first heard it in 1970.

PoP!
PoP! Goes My Heart
A masterclass parody.
This is from the film Music and Lyrics with Drew and Hugh.
The song is from 1984 by the film timeline and from 2007 in real life.

Down the Road
(Kerry Livgren;
Song for America, 1975;
live in concert, 1976)
"I'm in a kind of foolish game,
I tried to get rich quick but I'm going insane."

L'italiano (1983)
(The Italian)
<https://youtu.be/kuwlRavKrXc>
Good morning, Italy,
With spaghetti al dente
And a partisan for President
...
Let me sing with the guitar in hand,
Let me sing a song, softly, softly,
Let me sing, because I am proud of it,
I am an Italian, a true Italian.
_________
Italy is truly a land of singers.
Once I stayed late at the Institute of Psychology in Rome and I heard the cleaning lady sing in the corridor.
