Everything goes, right? As long as it's not on PA... So what about this:

Angelica Garcia - It Don't Hinder Me



Indie pop rock singer songwriter based out of Richmond, VA though born and raised in SoCal. Her song "Jicama" made it onto Barack Obama's Favorite Songs of 2019 list. Her current album is one of my favorites this year.

Francesco Guccini - Canzone delle Domande Consuete (Song of the Usual Questions)



LYRICS

Ancora qui a domandarsi e a far finta di niente
Come se il tempo per noi non costasse l'uguale
Come se il tempo passato ed il tempo presente
Non avessero stessa amarezza di sale.
Tu non sai le domande, ma non risponderei
Per non strascinare le parole in linguaggio d'azzardo
Eri bella, lo so, e che bella che sei
Dicon tanto un silenzio e uno sguardo.
Se ci sono non so cosa sono e se vuoi
Quel che sono o sarei, quel che saro' domani...
Non parlare non dire piu' niente se puoi
Lascia farlo ai tuoi occhi alle mani.

Non andare... vai. Non restare... stai.
Non parlare... parlami di te.

Tu lo sai, io lo so, quanto vanno disperse
Trascinate dai giorni come piena di fiume
Tante cose sembrate e credute diverse
Come un prato coperto a bitume.
Rimanere cosi' annaspare nel niente
Custodire i ricordi, carezzare le eta'
E' uno stallo o un rifiuto crudele e incosciente
Del diritto alla felicita'
Se ci sei, cosa sei? Cosa pensi e perché?
Non lo so, non lo sai; siamo qui o lontani?
Esser tutto, un momento, ma dentro di te.
Aver tutto, ma non il domani.

Non andare... vai. Non restare... stai.
Non parlare... parlami di te.

E siamo qui, spogli, in questa stagione che unisce
Tutto cio' che sta fermo, tutto cio' che si muove
Non so dire se nasce un periodo o finisce
Se dal cielo ora piove o non piove
Pronto a dire "buongiorno", a rispondere "bene"
A sorridere a "salve", dire anch'io "come va?"
Non c' vento stasera. Siamo o non siamo assieme?
Fuori c'e' ancora una citta'
Se c'e' ancora balliamoci dentro stasera
Con gli amici cantiamo una nuova canzone...
...tanti anni, e sono qui ad aspettar primavera
Tanti anni, ed ancora in pallone

Non andare... vai. Non restare... stai.
Non parlare... parlami di te.
Non andare... vai. Non restare... stai.
Non parlare... parlami di ... Noi.

TRANSLATION:

Still here wondering and pretending nothing
As if time didn't cost us the same
As if past time and present time
They did not have the same bitterness of salt.
You don't know the questions, but I wouldn't answer them
So as not to drag words in a gambling language
You were beautiful, I know, and how beautiful you are
A silence and a look say a lot 
If I am here, I don't know who I am and if you want
What I am or would be, what I will be tomorrow ...
Don't talk don't say anything if you can
Let your eyes do it to your hands.

Don't go ... Go. 
Don't stay ... Stay.
Don't talk ... Tell me about yourself.

You know, I know, how far they go
Dragged by the days as full of river
Many things seemed different and believed different
Like a bitumen covered lawn.
So stay reeling in nothing
Guarding memories, caressing the ages
It is a cruel and unconscious stalemate or rejection
Of the right to happiness
If you are here, who are you? What do you think and why?
I don't know, you don't know; are we here or far away?
Being everything, a moment, but inside you.
Having everything, but not tomorrow.

Don't go ... Go. 
Don't stay ... Stay.
Don't talk ... Tell me about yourself.

And we are here, bare, in this uniting season
Everything that stands still, everything that moves
I can't say if a period is born or ends
If it is raining or not raining from the sky now
Ready to say "good morning", to answer "good"
To smile "hello", say "how's it going?"
There is no wind tonight. Are we or are we not together?
There's still a city outside
If there is still let's dance inside tonight
And sing a new song with our friends ...
... many years, and I'm here waiting for spring
Many years, and still mess in my head

Don't go ... Go. 
Don't stay ... Stay.
Don't talk ... Tell me about yourself.
Don't go ... Go. 
Don't stay ... Stay.
Don't talk ... Tell me about ... Us.

Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

Here's some creepy metal stuff. Sometimes bad production adds to the eeriness of a song, as is seen here.

I presume this will not be voted (surprise me!), anyway my aim is to scare you. LOL

The guitarist Stephan Forte and keyboard player Kevin Codfert here are known from the progressive metal band Adagio.

nice.. can't wait to see what you all come up with.

Going with a lost classic album of the 70's. Amazing the great stuff that is pretty much lost to time.. brilliant album from start to finish.

This is one of my favorite non-prog bands.  I love how this song works up into the style it does....well you'll see fairly quickly.  Feel free to dance!
  Funny, this band keeps coming into my view, I missed them first time around, I'd heard something else that caught my ear and think this version of Love's tune is really pretty perfect, too (and was a good choice, whoever decided they could cover it well).  Reminiscent, yet they gave it their own feel.  Looking forward to seeing/hearing the other possibles as they get added (or may even come up with one to add).

If you participated in the first Interactive Poll, you already know what to do.  To those who are new to this, here are the instructions:
 
1. Post a favorite non-prog video.  By non-prog, I mean you should avoid bands that are listed in the Prog Archives.
 
2.  Listen to the tracks everyone else has posted.
 
3. Keep coming back until there are a total of 15 tracks posted and listen to them all.
 
4. When there are 15 posts, we will then vote on our top 3 favorite tracks.  Don't just default one of your votes to your own submission unless you think it is really the best submission.
 
Everyone is welcome to vote once the voting opens.  Please do not vote before there are 15 entries.  I will add the entries when they are submitted in the order they come in. 
 
This time we will choose from 15.   Come join us and have a blast.
