Topic: What Do You Think????

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery None but ourselves can free our mind. These two lines in this song became part of an internal singing anthem used by some of our top NZ Rugby players as a way in their minds to put themselves in a positive state to take on the challenges in front of them. I know sometimes I will sing a song in my head that has positivity in it to uplift myself when I am about to take on something that I'm not looking forward to.  I'm sure when times have been tough throughout history people all over the world in all sorts of situations have sung songs to give themselves internal fortitude and strengthen themselves.

Re: What Do You Think????

well like a lot of people i dont really do thinking
unless of course you are sinking
and your feet are stinking
a couple of beers and you`re drinking
i know you`re thinking
oh you silly guy
thats a stupid reply
but an eye for an eye
its been a boring day
may have got carried away
um what was the question again ?

Brian, As Gilbert O'Sulivan said, Nothing Rhymed? Though in this marvellous piece everything rhymes. And so true, pass me my glass.     

Pedr, I agree with everything the all blacks say, have you seen the size of those guys?

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Peatle

first of all - that video - amazing animation.!!

That song is one of the best songs ever written !
the opening rift is is so good - seems godly.

As you can tell - it is one of my favorite songs of all time.

as for the All Blacks -  this is incredible.

I think it would be awesome if one of the NFL Football teams did this on opening day  - it would shock the world! smile
the only thing with the Haka - you have to be good enough to back that up !!

Thanks for sharing.

Re: What Do You Think????

Good one Eb . 

As long as a person breathes air

There must be some thinking going on there

A little  bit more of my music confusion

Hopefully with some help from others welcome intrusions

Things will only get better from here

Maybe it’s time to go for a beer

Maybe the Tremeloes song had the answer for what's going on here.



Jim good video of an All Black haka, The All Blacks wouldn’t be the same without  the Haka them doing a line dance to country and western music before the game somehow, I don’t think will work.

By the way the All Blacks play Argentina this weekend.



Piri, when it comes to Rugby playing the Welsh you can’t beat the atmosphere when the Welsh spectators sing.
