Bocelli - The Lords Prayer

This is another great song, good for headaches too.


My Song in the Night - More headache cures

More headache cures.

This is done a few times by different folks, but I like this the best because it shows all the players, after the race is done, together while the song is sung

Ulrich Schnauss

I've been introduced to

Ulrich Schnauss


possibly a replacement (when programming) for Jean Michelle Jarre as I'm starting to need something new.

However, thanks to Paul Parsons and Richard Parsons, I'm enjoying Pink Floyd.

Weightless - anti-headache music

Maybe this is another piece of music that could cure a headache. By posting it here I will be able to find it when I have a headache.

MARCONI UNION - WEIGHTLESS 

Sadly the website does not have a "buy this music now" link anywhere in site.  I guess I'll have to keep my money and just re-click the link each time I have a headache.

Link above broken, youtube works:

The sad state of buying sheet music online

I've been trying to buy some sheet music online. I've found a few places who will sell me the music if I will download and install their special sheet music viewing software.

What?

I want to buy something from them I don't want to start a relationship with them. Why would I want to download their software just to be able to buy something from them?

I think the software is designed to stop me printing more copies than I pay for...

What?

Like I don't know how to print-to-file and then do as many copies as I like. As if I don't have a "print-to-pdf" printer driver as well.  As if I didn't have a document-feeder-printer-scanner-fax-machine-copier right next to me like most of us have these days (and a simple scanner would have been enough).

I finally bought my sheet music from Freehandmusic.com and instantly regretted it - as far I was able to tell their distinguishing feature was that they don't warn about the special software until AFTER the music has been paid for. It's possible they do warn about it but I didn't see any warnings, even at checkout time.

But I didn't use it. I did get a refund.

Of course their special treat-everyone-like-a-thief software doesn't run on my computer anyway.

Without too much trouble and while looking for someone who would sell it in pdf form able to find some illegal pdf-scans of the music I was trying to buy.

So my choice is illegal music or nothing. And I'm trying to pay.

So I chose nothing.

Remind me why the music industry is struggling again...

Consider the Lilies

Good singing AND good sound engineering (and the picture choice isn't bad)

The Prayer - from Quest for Camelot

This is good too - but not as a headache cure - I did buy the Heavensong mp3's because of it.

Hmmm... version removed from Youtube - now I'll have to buy Heavensong;. See track 13 here at the Deseret Book website. try Celine Dion instead:

Music for a headache

This music is good for a headache - competes with Barber's "More tears from heaven"
And what is it we shall hope for?
