Meaningful Songs: Queensryche - Lady Jane

Queensryche - Lady Jane

I love this tune, and I noticed someone in the comments mention it to be the greatest 'Ryche track ever, and I don't know if I can argue with it.

It has this wonderful, gorgeous, dark beauty to it.

melancholy, etc.

The piano arrangement, crescendo, etc... it's so good.

And certainly, like Silent Lucidity (another song I really enjoy, maybe in some ways my favorite, despite how overplayed it got, I still get goosebumps in it's running away/escape therapy tone), it stands out to being very different from most of their other songs.

But I think I enjoy it more for that reason too.

VINYL VIDEO: The Dear Hunter, Steven Wilson, Queensryche

So I made and shared this one, only 3 new Vinyl.

I made 3 other videos from like 2 weeks ago that I never uploaded, with my head getting cutoff, lol. Which happens in this one as well.

I guess I need to try and setup the camera higher so it doesn't cutoff my head but still includes me (maybe I need a new Camera?).

but those videos had like 10-15 records and cds.

I guess I'll see.

this video includes

The Dear Hunter - All Is as All Should Be [EP]
Steven Wilson- To the Bone
Queensryche - Promised Land

I have also quite a lot of vinyl coming in the mail soon, so obviously if I want to show that, I'll have to try this again, and hopefully avoid my head being cutoff. I have a lot of  boxed and stuff in there to be able to potentially set the camera up high enough and at the right height to capture myself and the records.

Then again, I may just go there to make videos not showing music instead of making a podcast. Not sure. Namely for those Calendar videos or podcasts. Or even that list of Songwriters perhaps?

Random Artist Feature: Queensrÿche (26 MINUTES)

Here's the latest in this new series of Artist Features on YouTube.

I really chose Queensryche to feature next per that large collection of singls/eps/designed Vinyls and posters I acquired in the last 2 years. Most of them from that 1 store out in Eagan, Cedar Cliff Collectibles

The length is also largely a product of the amount, as I would guess if I had just covered my take on each studio record, it would have only been between 10-15 minutes tops.

And I wish I could have found my copy of Promised Land, but I didn't have hours to spend hunting for it among my cds. I found the large books I got when I acquired these 2 200-300 Jukebox cd players from BestBuy in the 90's, but alas, it along with my other Queensryche cds, were not in there.

Per a comment on there and from Jammindude, I recall being urged to check out Condition Human, which I may finally do again. I remember putting it on 1 day this Fall and finding it okay at best. But I suppose part of my issue is, as it's been with other bands, is how similar the singer may sound to Geoff Tate may ruin it for me.

Per the ProgPowerUSA festivals and some of the bands at the early ones I attended, a lot of bands had singers that sounded almost exactly like Geoff Tate, which always ruined their music for me. Even Power of Omens, who I do enjoy, and Zero Hour eventually, both had singers that did, and it was always difficult for me to not be bugged by.

But maybe after all these years, and it actually being Queensryche themselves, may make a difference for me. I guess I'll see.
