Neil Finn - Lullaby Requiem
This is Neil Finn's Lullaby Requiem from the solo album One All (the US release of One Nil). I can't find it anywhere else on-line, and it's far too beautiful for it not to be heard.
Good night, bless you
Let angels possess you
You make dreams of another life
Don't think its too much
To close eyes and leave us
In strange places we come undone
And the building blocks
Sometimes have to crash
Not meant to last like a mother's love
Its real life, its all true
You know how I'll miss you
In quiet moments I'll come undone
And the building blocks sometimes have to crash
Not meant to last like a mother's love
Sleep comes when all is laid to rest
Thats when you'll find what you're looking for
Strange feelings you c...

Neil Finn - The Devil You Know
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.5 лет назад
Originally on Split Enz's 'Conflicting Emotions' this gem is a live piano and vocal version from, I believe, San Francisco in 1989. I re-discovered this recently and found the original file on my hard drive, and I've tweaked the audio and cleaned it up a bit. 'Message for My Girl' is on the same album, and this song, in my opinion, is its equal.

An escalation of everything! I Love this!! X
Listened to this when my son Neil was a baby - love both Neils 💙💜
Beautiful. Thank you for uploading. A timeless classic
Yeah, this falls into the category of “painfully beautiful” songs. Always chokes me up.
I absolutely love this man. I am also aggrieved and disheartened to imagine that languages could have been taught in schools using his methods to great success. However, to the world's demise, the powers that be deemed jhis methods as unscaleabe. Alas, we collectively are forced to reckon with an unsuccessful, unproductive, non-intuitive, and dreadfully uninspiring form of language instruction we have today. What a privilege it must have been to learn from him directly. I only wish I could have learned of him much earlier in my life and language journey.
I spent ten years learning his method. My Hebrew course is built on this experience as well as much subsequent learning.
Hi Harold. Great to hear from you. I must get in touch about that Hebrew course. All the best - Nigel
Thank you for uploading this. Breaking down into structures that we know today is similar to the structures of Spanish, French, Italian, and other interesting patterns. Well done. :)
beautiful song. very mccartney-esque, but also very unique.
Quite possibly my favorite Split Enz song. Great version. thank you!

I’m in a very happy moment
me too <3
Great man. I have learned plenty from him, including how to be a better teacher. I'm from Łódź myself, just like him.
Thanks
Thank you for uploading
You're welcome
There’s a lot of significance in the ending scene where the regular classroom furnitures are kept back and the curtains are unfolded which signifies that the usual regular school curriculum is about to begin.
I'm glad you noticed, and it meant something to you.
So beautiful . Never heard this before .
I now speak spanish with a proud forceful polish accent, and people love it!
I love this guy...sadly he is no more with us...after introduced to his french course...I learnt french quite fast...before not knowing his course, I can never able to learn french...because french pronunciation are very different from what they write.
Meravigliosa. Grazie Neil.
I cry every time I hear this beauty. Neil, I do believe, wrote this at the time of his mother's demise. I think of my Mom too. What a tribute he gave his Mom. Well done.
Lovely
Thank goodness for your beautiful upload
My pleasure
I think he sings “Wild voices”, not mad
Fixed, and thanks for taking the time to let me know.
Thank you 🙏
Thanks very much for uploading this. Can I ask if there was more interview material recorded that covered his views and techniques in more depth, and are these recordings still in existence? I've been a fan of his since I first picked up his Spanish course, and I'm now a language teacher. I've listened to all the courses he recorded for Hodder as well as some of the courses recorded by others under the MT Method brand. I've also read the book published under the MT Method brand ("The Learning Revolution") but disappointingly most of it doesn't directly relate to Thomas's work. My professional opinion after using the courses others have made is that he never really left a good explanation of what he actually did, as the other courses are dramatically different from his, and I would love to be able to investigate in more detail what his actual claims were about what he did. Thanks again.
Hi Niall. I'm afraid there is very little more about how Michel taught. Most of the extra material was in the form of documentary surrounding him. I would have loved him to have given away more about specifics of his methods, but as you can see in the documentary he was very secretive. Remember that the making of the film was the first time he had every been on camera, and was long before he agreed to make the language tapes. We had many complex negotiations to allow me to show as much as I did. That said, I'm of course delighted that you enjoyed the programme, and so glad that I was able to provide such a record of what Michel achieved. All the best - Nigel
@@yoni23able Thanks. That's very much what I expected. I'm considering trying to analyse his techniques for a paper, and just wanted to confirm that what was available was all there was.
Yeah, "The Learning Revolution" was mostly useless, but it *did* contain the actual answer buried in there: Everything in the Michel Thomas lessons that made them work, was an approximation of the principles of instruction ("Direct Instruction" or "DI") developed by Siegfriend Engelmann (look him up on libgen by that name, although everyone called him "Zig"). I mean, Michel didn't learn *from* Zig's work; He just discovered an approximation of the same thing independently. But once you understand Zig's work, you'll start to see just how much *better* the Michel Thomas lessons *should* be... psych.athabascau.ca/open/engelmann/bio.php
@@Eoghanlebar MT’s teaching is not an “approximation” of DI, it’s just *similar to* it, and your use of loaded language implies DI is absolutely correct. It should be remembered that all the trials showing the effectiveness of DI looked at it compared to alternative strategies as a package, not at the effectiveness of individual components of the method. Consequently, while it’s fair and logical to say that DI is *effective*, it is not logical to assert that it is objectively correct. If you look at differences between the two, one of the big things in DI seems to be the use of positive examples and negative examples. When I first read Solity’s book I was immensely frustrated by the chapter that went on about these, because that’s something Thomas did extremely rarely in any of the 52 (I think) CDs which are all we have as a publicly accessible reference of his teaching. If you look at ser and estar in Spanish, there was never any “ser or not ser” or “estar or not estar”, and rarely even any “is that ser or estar?” - instead, he aimed to build the concept by eliciting positive examples from the students, and by giving them enough practice in each that they needed the minimal amount of integration between the two when practiced alongside each other. The other big difference is the whole “faultless instruction” concept, and although Engelmann doesn’t accept that this is the same as blaming the learner, I don’t think it’s all that far off. The goal of any teaching intervention is not logical correctness, but pedagogical successfulness. Michel Thomas’s descriptions of verbs, nouns and adjectives are logically completely wrong, but they’re successful in drawing the student’s attention to what the core concept is. And don’t think I’m making the mistake that I’m thinking only in terms of pure logic, and not the logic of teaching. I could not derive Thomas’s explanation from any first principles whatsoever, but it’s something that works and I can only analyse after the fact why it does.
What a dumb students!!
What a dumb statements!! lol

I loved it! :D
Respect for Michel Thomas! Amazing man , a genius; love his soothing, positive voice... makes me relaxed and in control...!
'''It was a very nominal fee''...I guess that;s all that matters:D
He was an amazing guy... And he’s right about education, look at the USA right now, the rich are dominating the un-educated poor...
Genius
What was Michel's idea with the cameras? A lot of his method revolves around the removal of tension, I just wondered if he worried the presence of a camera crew and cameras would cause problems?
We knew the cameras would be an issue, but as I remember the whole scenario, including being taught by a new teacher, was quite unusual for the students. Michel had to get them used to him being there and the cameras were just part of that. He might have taken a bit longer to work with the kids and relax them before the cameras came in. Also, in my experience, people get used to cameras quite quickly and after a day or two forget they were there. Finally, if you'll notice, some of the filming was done from outside the classroom as there were large windows we could work through. I hope that helps. Best - Nigel
Thanks! I'm really quite fascinated by him and his method, I love this film.
Great, learning german with his recording now , doing my best. What an amazing, kind and smart human being he was. very well done doc!
Oded Kafri thanks for the comment. He was an amazing man and I was very lucky to know him.
Cheers Yoni 23 able , Btw are you still working as a documentary director? Please could I kindly ask you to send me your email address? here or on my personal mail : odedkafri@gmail.com , Best of regards
he makes the hardness of languages a joke. very genius.
masterp77557 Glad you enjoyed it. Best - Nigel
I feel sorry for the Teacher here, starting to question her methods and wanting to know why he is a genius. But its a no win situation for a normal school. At least if it was a specific intensive learning language school, then you could truly compare methods. As it stands, she probably does 1 hour or 2 a week, then the students forget everything instantly. With or without Michells method, you cannot compare language lesson in a regular school amoungst other subjects all in their native english Vs 5 full days uninterupted French learning.
Thanks for the documentary. Is it possible to provide more detials about the the making? for exaple when was it filmed, first aired? who were the students, etc ..
Hi Khalid. It first went out in March 1997, I think, on BBC2. It was commissioned as part of a TV series which didn't exist by the time the programme went out, so it was a stand alone programme. We filmed it in Holloway Road in North London at a sixth from college. I asked them for students who had done very poorly in languages so Michel could show a transformation, if possible. He introduced them to the language of course, but also he massively increased their self-confidence and sense that they were capable of learning. That was one of the most rewarding things when it came to making the programme. Hope that helps.
Yes, thank you. This is very informative.
I think it's because the relaxed state helds the language become knowledge and structured into sentences to further held it become knowledge it's not just relaxation or not being tensed! It's the process, the learning process and being able to use sentences fast!
I been listening to Michel Thomas recordings and the method is interesting taking the pressure off learning making it enjoyable and easier. I particularly found the comfortable seats interesting and the tension free style. This method I'm sure with technologies could be developed further. As was a cassette but now can be used in other ways brilliant!
His method is so simple yet very efficient. 1-You need to put your brain in a relaxed state so that you won't fight the learning. "the fastest reader in the world said that. Relaxation is the secret." Googe it 2-Learning is about creating patterns. He optimizes this stage which makes his method yield great results very fast. If you find a good grammar book like "English in use" for the language you wanna learn, you will make a very fast progress. 3-You will learn only the basic part of a the language. The hardest part of learning a new languge is building a strong vocabulary and knowing the idioms. This stage takes time. up to few months with a moderate learning pace. Conclusion: His method is great. But I don't think that there is any secrets to it.
What happened to his videos
The fact that he kept his method of learning languages for all these years for him self and never share it with any one is a sign of his selfishness and his love for money that kept him silent about a great secret of learning until he dies. A secret that can benefit the whole universe but he loved the money and his self more than leaving a legacy for people to praise him for. and for this reason I despise him.
hanan omar he is a jew... he escaped nazis in the war... what do you think; he will just shared for free??? What has your nation ever shared anything valuable???!!
Did you notice that there is a spirit to it? Michel had a great spirit for teaching, and you can feel it. There is communication, and the students know that he cares. That woman is just someone who goes to an office and does a job, like stocking shelves in a supermarket. Michel puts you in touch with what is in the food packets. Michel's method really strikes a chord with me, because I did French for four whole years at the high school. We just learned it as if it were physics. We memorized vocabulary and grammar, and parroted it off on the tests. I never hecame fluent at interaction with French speakers, even though my grades were in the high 90s and often 100. It wasn't a total waste of time, because I still remember a lot of the vocabulary and grammar, but it did not equip me for practical use. When I went to Paris (where you HAVE to speak French because hardly anyone there speaks English), after a few days, it really started to click. As I was leaving, on board a non French airplane, someone asked me where their seat was, and my first instinct was to reply in French. I sure wish that we had had Michel's course in the high school. We were taught that a greeting would be "Bonjour, Jean. Comment allez-vous?" You know, that "plume de ma tante" junk. You would really say "Salut, Jean. Ça va?", or something like that. I have not heard Michel's French course, but I have his Spanish course, and I get the idea.
Nice upload Bro! But, as a non-native English speaker, I guess a subtitle would help me to understand this better, any suggestion where to get it? Your help would be much appreciated. Terima kasih.

You could feel the tension in the room as soon as the teacher decided to join the class.
Yes, and I was expecting that. You could tell by the body language. By being there, she ruined the vibe.
