… 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…
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.
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.
Heard that for the first time today, too.
