@l23722 Before reading the comments I wondered briefly if the language was Romanian. I know enough Spanish, French & Italian to recognize this as a Romance language; that left, of the major ones, Portuguese & Romanian. I strongly suspected it was Portuguese, home of the Lusitano horse, but wasn'...

@rarebully I know that was true at one time in the U.S.; was it true as well in Great

Britain? Not saying it wasn't - I have no idea. But WWI left an entire generation of young British men devastated,far more in Britain than in America; that seems to have been how working class David was recruite...

I'm fond of the Monkees, and especially of Daydream Believer.

I don't understand why people are upset: the title here makes clear this is a parody.

Pretty good dubbing, btw.

Guess they haven't seen "literal" versions of other songs.

R.I.P. Davy. My developmentally disabled brother died l...

Vaughan Williams (my favorite classical composer) wrote the setting/harmony, but

the melody Laast Uns Erfreuen dates to the 17th c.

@JoyceElaineCutliff

I requested this song at the memorial service for my developmentally disabled (Down Syndrome) brother, held the same day as the service for your great-grandmother.

My condolences.

@moonverine I agree (to the first statement). I love both versions.

@TxtACRowetxT It is a music video. There is also a Spanish language version

(Heroe) with the same cast and story, but edited differently.

My all-time favorite female pop voice.

What a waste, years lost to drugs when she should have been in her prime.

And now this (whether or not drugs are responsible for her death).

R.I.P.

@Yaplayya If this is Enya, please cite what album it is from, and I'll go listen to it. The arrangement sounds identical to the Gladiator track; it's acoustic/orchestral, not the synthesized music typical of Enya. The voice sounds heavier/darker than Enya's mezzo soprano; Gerrard is a contralto. ...

@100theblack Actually, there's scientific evidence that proper training of very young horses remodels the bones & makes them stronger. Ruffian was bred to be fragile; her sire had 3 fractures before being retired; both he & Ruffian's dam were put down for breaks, a few years after her. In recent...

@johnnystaccata

If you had watched it, you would have seen Sarek /the Romulan Commander.

Of course, not as those characters.

@nykdanger Meatloaf has written songs, but by his own admission he is a poor

songwriter. Most of his best known songs, this one included, were written & composed by Jim Steinman, though he's worked with other songwriters. Terrific singer, but

he won't be remembered for his songwriting.

@Sweetrubytuesday Sure, the film War Horse uses real horses. Not very

feasible on live stage.

@Ryanlauph Both the Gospel & the hymn refer to the preincarnate Christ as being with God from the beginning (John 1:2 "He was with God in the beginning" vs. hymn

"begotten ere the worlds began to be; He is alpha". John 1:3 ("Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that ha...

Hardly. The children's book on which it is based is a vehicle to show the horror of war, and the power of friendship, for man and animal alike; children often find it easier to empathize with animals than with people. I doubt the WWI cavalry soldiers would resent this depiction, for their lives o...

Looks to me as if that dog is inviting the kitten to play. She makes multiple abbreviated play bows, and several obvious ones (at 1:55 and 2:06 and 2:14). She's quiet when the kitten approaches around 1:20, seemingly content to have friendly interaction.

@spacepatrolman Yes, Patrick Swayze also died of pancreatic cancer. You can live without a pancreas - *if*

you get insulin replacement. Removal of the pancreas renders the patient a Type I diabetic.

@wowChetara I've read other stray dogs have made a home there, but that so far, other than

the late Bella, they have not socialized with the elephants.

@JackKangaroo1 Presa Canario is on the list, at 1:22. I often see Boxers on lists like these, which baffles me, too,the ones I've known are sociable and friendly. Might be protective if their owners are endangered, but that's a different thing than aggressiveiness. I was also surprised to see th...

@LadyHarrington2k Historically, draft horse foals have had their tails docked, on the grounds that

their tails are at risk of getting caught in the harness or the wheels. The practice is coming under

scrutiny as probably painful, and unnecessary. In the UK, the practice has been banned for d...

@hydrobot2003 Huh? The Budweiser tribute didn't air the day after 9/11; it aired nearly 5 months later,

during Superbowl XXXVI (February 3, 2002).

Superbowl XXXVI was played on February 3, 2002, rather than in January.

@Ka80SS The father was working at their shop, which apparently was on that street; the mother had been

hanging up clothing on (I think) the second floor. I'd guess they live above their store, though I don't know. The mother, possibly both parents, were already looking for the baby when the mo...

@tjsun You sure? In 1964, the Beatles had "I Want to Hold Your Hand" at #1 for 6 weeks, followed by "She Loves You" at #1 for 2 weeks, followed by "Can't Buy Me Love" for 5 weeks. Are you not counting Lennon/McCartney/the Beatles as a single artist, or are you going by some other technicality?

20 lovely choices (well, one, never mind which, I dislike), not that most would make my personal list. You do have choices from Baroque, Classical and Romantic eras, heavy on the last. A complaint: the lists should be titled as "melodies,* not as songs! I think only 6 of the 20 are vocal piec...

Tahli is lovely! Blessings to your family.

I am sibling, aunt and family friend of individuals with developmental disorders

(not GDD).

@stupidblond428a Blue Hors Matinee, the dressage horse you asked about once,

did die (long after the vid you saw). She was put down in Jan. 2010, for a paddock injury

she incurred after she was retired for an unrelated injury.

This is Taliesin Orchestra??? It sounds nothing like their other covers of Enya's

songs that I've heard.

Who said lions kill gazelles with a swipe of a paw? All the big cats

kill large game by suffocation, by clamping down on the windpipe.

Which is what this lioness is (unsuccessfully) doing.

Was this an orphan? I am amazed the mother (or herd, for that matter)

was not going berzerk and attacking the people. Elephants are protective of their young. Very sad.

@ernstblack There are one or more LiveJournal groups for S/Mc, as well as a Yahoo group which has an associated zine. Spock/McCoy is logical!

@spiritdancer1019 I am not Catholic, but a Protestant deeply sympathetic to much in Catholicism. I don't practice it, but praying to saints doesn't bother me. Christians routinely ask our fellow living saints to pray for us. We don't view living fellow Christians as replacement mediators. Wh...

@julielaughs14 Star Trek episodes:

0:18 ("Spock!") - Miri

0:20 - dancing/playing imaginary instruments & 0:26 Bones & Scotty curtseying - both are from I, Mudd

@penny539 "Jean" is the theme for the 1969 film The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. Another singer,

not Oliver, sang the song in the film. Oliver's version isn't really the original, it is the version that charted.
