Silver and gold, silver and gold Everyone wishes for it How do you measure its worth? Just by the pleasure it gives here on earth Oh, I'm getting old Oh, I'm getting old Everyone wishes for youth How have I wasted my life? Trusting the pleasure it gives here on earth Lord, come with fire Lord, come with fire Everyone's wasting their time Storing up treasure in vain Trusting the pleasure it gives here on earth Oh, I see the end Oh, I see the end Everyone's waiting for death How do you measure its worth? Justice delivers its gift here on earth Silver and gold, silver and gold Silver and gold, silver and gold
Wainwright: About greed. (Looking to Stevens) Right? Stevens: Yeah, it’s about greed. Wainwright: Greed and aging. (Joking tone) I’m like- Who thinks about that?
@@lyswantsmusic574 I was in row 3, seats 104 and 106.It was a fantastic show. Best Christmas show I've seen (and I've been to every NYC show). I've also followed your videos over the years - they are excellent. Were the 2008 Nice Jazz festival videos yours? If you have any other clips from this Noel Nights, I hope you'll get a chance to post them
@@qbear17 Yes the Nice Jazz videos were mine. Unfortunately I lost many of my videos due to copyright claims done by one artist. Usually they issue one warning and then of course I will delete them all (as I did with my Agnes Obel videos). But she just claimed the whole bunch to YT without giving me the time to remove them. I had 2500 followers and over 8 million views. Oh well.
@@lyswantsmusic574 I really appreciate your posts. The quality is always great. And we seem to be at a lot of the same Rufus concerts I was at the Nice concert, front and center kind of between/behind two people who were just squeezed in front of me. I bought my wedding ring at the arts booths at the festival, and my husband and I were married about a month later in Massachusetts (one of the few places at the time same sex couples could marry and have it be recognized in New York . ) Anyway, thank you for all the postings.
Do you spend the concert recording the artists? Do you consider that the people behind you may not want your glowing phone in the dark or to have your rectangle blocking what we are trying to see and experience LIVE?
Hey humbug! Thanks for your comment. For your information, I NEVER use a phone nor a lit screen while recording. In fact, it is mostly done from my lap, without people even noticing.
@@davidklingenberger3030, I've been seated next to or behind Lys several times at shows, I've never been bothered -as opposed to people who are recording with their smartphones.
These two brought me to tears ! This song ! And their voices together, perfect harmony!!!
Oh wow! Never knew these two performed together. So beautiful.
Good lord two of my favorite artists together

I feel fairly certain from your reply that you are a special person--different from all others. Congratulations.
