....... yesterday a new tune has been added to my "one of all time favorites" that are tunes or the rare songs that have found a constant place in my heart, that whenever I listen to them, they bring up memories and emotions that make me cry or scream (cannot call it singing what I do) or dance because of their absolute beautifulness....
The tune I am talking about is called "Madame Lulu" and is played by the band Den (old album from 1989)... I was driving along in the car to get home and deeply in thoughts and when it started all hairs raised up, the car filled up with a thick sound cushion and my mind and heart felt lighter and my mind was in awe from the beauty of the pipes and the overall feeling the tune brought across..... I suddenly was very happy....

Re: when a tune touches you so much
I thought at first you were maybe talking about this Russian song, Madame Lulu (4th selection down). I actually found sheet music for it some years back, with some romantic vision of a pensive woman on the cover and all in Cyrillic except for every time the words "Madame Lulu" came up. I'd forgotten about it until today, and I never did hear it until today, either. Gotta love the internet.
Yer composition on the Den CD seems a tad different. Just a tad.
Heard that for the first time today, too.
I wonder if these are at all in honor of the famous New Orleans madam, Lulu White.

Well, the Russian one makes my serum cholesterol go thru the roof, anyway.Brigitte wrote:..whenever I listen to them, they bring up...emotions that make me cry or scream...

Re: when a tune touches you so much
yes, this is the tune and now imagine the pipes on top and carrying it that it is so beautiful that it hurts. I kind of wish Mike would play it on the pipes instead or fourhanded with flute as well.The Whistle Collector wrote:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fOyLhgLeJE Could this be the same one you are talking about?
This is the album http://folkyourself.blogspot.com/2008/1 ... -1989.html but I could not find a sample of the recording I mean online.

Re: when a tune touches you so much
Going back to the original post, and the sentiment behind it. When my Father died in my arms..the only song I played, before and after, was this.
