Plangent no more - Vale Gorecki

Ok ... Gorecki ... revived classical music in the 90s and paved the way for chill out compilations everywhere including a piece of Sunday morning radio slop in order to maintain relevance! But still, loads of yoof cottoned on to the fact that there are a lot more musical genres out there to explore ... and one two three the struggling second hand record store experienced a rennaisance in sales ... and busloads of wannabe DJs were found back-bent trawling through endless boxes hidden under racks ... looking for that perfect sample to complete their banging 'choon'!


I digress ... Gorecki - Polish and Spiky and avant garde ... but also capable of the most heart-wrenching and plaintive melodies this side of Romantic music (bet that pissed off the avant-garders) ... alas you compose no more ... but we are forever enriched by your talent and mastery.


And for good contemporary measure, inspired by Gorecki, here is Lamb's paean to the man:



"if i should die this very moment
i wouldn't fear
for i've never known completeness
like being here
wrapped in the warmth of you
loving every breath of you
still my heart this moment
or it might burst

could we stay right here
'til the end of time, 'til the earth stops turning
wanna love you 'til the seas run dry
i've found the one i've waited for

all this time i've loved you
and never known your face
all this time i've missed you
and searched this human race
here is true peace
here my heart knows calm
safe in your soul
bathed in your sighs
wanna stay right here
'til the end of time, 'til the earth stops turning
gonna love you 'til the seas run dry
i've found the one i've waited for
the one i've waited for

all i've known
all i've done
all i've felt was leading to this
all i've known
all i've done
all i've felt was leading to this
wanna stay right here
'til the end of time, 'til the earth stops turning
gonna love you 'til the seas run dry
i've found the one i've waited for
the one i've waited for

wanna stay right here
'til the end of time, 'til the earth stops turning
gonna love you 'til the seas run dry
i've found the one i've waited for
the one i've waited for

the one i've waited for...
