ImberBoy Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Let's choose our Northernsoul national Anthem You can choose anything you want but you have to tell us why. My top sound that I can play on a loop is "Rare pleasure" - let me down easy I love the fact that its British, it's a great dancer and yet slightly melancholy, the lyrics are simple yet there is a real story and a feeling of pain and hurt. A disco, dance beat drives me to the wildest dance and I love the horns that make this a rare stand alone track. I can hear it every day and yet still marvel in its composition as a master piece of strings, clip clop percussion and soaring but understated vocals. It is a far removed from The Snake or do I love you blah de bleedin blah, its never gonna be found in the divies box but I tell ya that I love this record.

Hornet Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Yes,Julie but that's your favourite record of all time...Good as it is it doesn't represent everybody.. Sorry to be pedantic.. gets my vote Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chalky Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 what is up with refosoul to get your track across to everyone, most if not all the tracks on youtube are in refosoul. Refosoul is a great resource members on here spend hours adding to and it is a waste not to use it.....IMHO Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Kevinkent Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Loads of anthems already on this scene and everyone has favourites - but could/should they be THE National NS Anthem? One where the words really relate to how I feel about the scene, and therefore a contender IMO is this: TONY MICHAELS - I LOVE THE LIFE I LIVE (AND LIVE THE LIFE I LOVE) - Kev.

ImberBoy Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 Refosoul is a bit too clunky if the truth be known and it takes me away from the page I am viewing and when I want to add a clip it isn't as user friendly as the tube. I have wrestled with Refosoul on many occasions and sadly lost, it doesn't seam to favor the thick and I is thick. "Webbydubbers" thanks for the observations you little pedant you, try to remember that this is like made up stuff and there are no rules like flying monkeys in the Wizard of Oz, we like know they cant fly and stuff but its like just a film. Now if you want to choose your own Northernsoul National Anthem, I promise not to tell the Queen and you can choose anything you want and it doesn't have to be all scientific n stuff.

Chalky Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Simon why not view refosoul in a second window, it is what I do, and I presume you have youtube open in a seperate window? Just have two soul source pages open I simply search a track and it is there, play it and copy the link at the bottom of the page....really is easy.

Chalky Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Thanks Chalky don't forget you can search by either title or artist, once you start to type in the search box you will see a little blue timer going round at the end of the search box, refosoul is searching for suggestions, it really doesn't take long and if it matches what you are typing it will throw up (not literally) the matching suggestions. Refosoul really is a great resource, far more comprehensive than youtube and if it isn't there simply ask and it will no doubt be posted in a short time. Youtube clips make the place look untidy to me and are often slow to load where as refosoul is practically instant. You can play the refosoul clip either in the window you are viewing or a seperate stand alone tab, there will be two "play" links to choose form, have a play around in there and get used to it Try posting a couple of tracks in one of the audio topics, 60's soul Sunday, crossover Friday or even this one Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Tabs Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 The girly backing vocals counteracting Dons voice. The tempo changes. As close to Northern soul perfection as you can get.
