What damned song can't you get out of your head today?

I've always adored this gem of a song. Love this uptempo arrangement. Fun vid too.

Yes, she was amazing! Her voice is stunning and she's so funny and adorable. The banter with the audience was hilarious. She's a great storyteller as well and talked a lot about her family and childhood and the origins of the songs.

She did most of her hits, some songs from her new album, a few covers including Led Zep's Stairway To Heaven (impressed!) plus a very funny 'rap' song about Queen Latifah, who she just made a movie with. Oh and Duelling Banjos! So good. The highlights for me were Tennessee Mountain Home and a beautiful version of Little Sparrow.

My only complaint was that she got a bit preachy and 'Hillsongy' at times because she's very religious. But overall, it was great. Definitely one of the better concerts I've been to.

Oh, and the costumes - a bright yellow, rhinestone encrusted dress for the first half, then a white, tassled, sequinned western style ensemble for the finale. Completely over the top. Only Dolly could pull it off!

Anyways, still got Tennessee Mountain Home in my head ... :)

I went to the Hunter Valley concert, and it was fabulous! She is totally the consumate performer. When she did Little Sparrow, the audience was just silent and all that filled the air was her voice. Stunning.

She was a crack up, the concert was at Hope Estate, so outdoors and she laughed that gorgeous laugh and almost ate about 679798 bugs.
 
Horrible things are happening to my head - that poxy One Direction thing keeps attacking my brain because it's played EVERYWHERE
 
C.W. Stoneking - The Love Me or Die

The lyrics are brilliant :)

THE LOVE ME OR DIE

(Words and Music by C.W. Stoneking)

I studied evil, I can’t deny,
Was a hoodoo charm called a Love Me or Die,
Some fingernail, a piece of her dress,
Apocathery, Devil’s behes’
I will relate, the piteous consequence my mistake,
Fallin slave to passin desire,
Makin’ the dreaded Love me or Die.
Against a Jungle primeval green,
She had the looks of a beauty queen
No bangles or chain, wearin’ broken shoe
Seventy-five cent bottle perfume.
I said, “Good mornin”, I tipped my hat,
All the while I was cunning like a rat,
Smilin gaily, looked her in the eye,
I felt in pocket, the Love me or Die
My past history, one to behold,
I studied magic from days of old,
Membership, secret societies,
Power and wealth in my family
But Matilda, Darling,
Why you don’t take my wedding ring,
Like a demon under the floor,
I buried the hoodoo down the back door.
Lawd, word broke through the town,
That a fever strike Matilda down,
Nine thirty, the doctor arrive,
Priest come runnin, quarter to five.
Standin in the weeds early next day,
I saw the meat wagon rollin away,
I seen Matilda layin in the back,
Her old mother wearin a suit of black
Sound the trumpet, and bang the drum,
I wait for me judgement to come,
I know her spirit is down beneath,
I hear the weepin and gnashing of the teeth.
Flames of Hell licks at my feet,
In the shadow of the Jungle I feel the heat,
Matilda’s waiting in Hell for me too,
All cause she died from a bad hoodoo.

Unfortunately this clip doesn't extend to the second verse. Sad to say this is my current theme, for reasons I don't want to go into.

I've been lost
I need to be found
I paid the cost
Where to go now?

I'm so lost
So lost
I'm so lost

I'm so lost
Just a matter of time
Gotta overcome
Those walls that I gotta climb
I'm so lost
Undefined
I'm so lost

I'm so lost
Just a matter of time
Gotta overcome
Those walls that I gotta climb
