Mandalay - Not Seventeen

[TigerLikesTail]

I have always loved this track.

I thought it was brilliant to use a sample from Gorecki's most amazing piece of music about The Holocaust.

I was managing a music store when this came out & this cd played a lot in the morning for me keeping this night owl somewhat civil in the morning lol.

If you get a chance have a listen to the original Gorecki piece.

It is called

Gorecki Symphony No. 3 Sorrowful Songs - Lento e Largo

It can bring a rush of sad emotions though so be prepared.

@ski808 -sorry,I disagree...her solo cd,Passive Aggressive, was very good. I DO miss Saul's contribution,but have always loved Nicola's vocals

[ski808]

@mopmonkey Okay... I've listened to Passive Aggressive as well, but I think it would've been better with Saul's inputs.

Where are they????? I miss them! How many great moments with their songs.

The last track of the 2007 Live Mix is based on this song, but has a faster beat.

What a beautiful and touching song. It brings tears to my eyes.

[horntablet]

The band everyone missed, "This life" is the unfound classic.

[lagunaindigo]

kinda depressing

[strlght1]

Beautiful, new videos like "this life"?

[lukaszp89]

I had no idea V2 Music released more videos from Solace except Beautiful! Is there more of it?

[cozenimus]

As far as I know, there was a video for every single of theirs (Deep Love, This Life etc.), unfortunately, I don't have them. I do have an alternate version for Beautiful, though. I'll try to upload this later.

This video is quite nice, isn't it? In a new-agey, late '90s way. :)

[lukaszp89]

I like this video too. I've made a list with complete singles: pl[dot]wikipedia[dot]org[slash­]wiki[slash]Nicola_Hitchcock and found a exclusive area with Beautiful and Flowers Bloom: nicolahitchcock[dot]com[slash]­exclusive[slash]video[dot]php. I hope you'll enjoy it!

[ski808]

Exactly, and it's absolutely brilliant. Thank you for uploading it. It'd be even better if we could hear what they sound like 10 years ahead. If they could only get back together.
