    "Though I know that evening's empire has returned into sand
    Vanished from my hand
    Left me blindly here to stand, but still not sleeping
    My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet
    I have no one to meet
    And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming" Mr Tambourine Man, Bob Dylan

    Hi Gideon, warm welcome from Poland. Rock and roll changing English language... Some time ago I've come across a song of famous, renowned Jethro Tull, called "Hunting Girl". It for sure has little to do with London, but as far the language is concerned it is somehow interesting. Making long story short, a guy walks a grove or forest and meets a lady on a saddled horse (on a throne of finest English leather) hunting with a pack of hounds. And The lyrical I says this:
    Crop handle carved in bone; sat high upon a throne of finest English leather.
    The queen of all the pack, this joker raised his hat and talked about the weather.
    All should be warned about this high born Hunting Girl.
    She took this simple man's downfall in hand; I raised the flag that she unfurled.
    Boot leather flashing and spurnecks the size of my thumb.
    This highborn hunter had tastes as strange as they come.
    Unbridled passion: I took the bit in my teeth.
    Her standing over me on my knees underneath.
    And my question is this: She took the man's downfall in hand, raised the flag... He took the bit in his teeth - means what? Further in the text the lyrical I appreciates however that she's no deviate... nonetheless she had as strange tastes as they come. Is the song about "country matters"? 😉

  • @papercup2517
    @papercup2517 Год назад +1

    Well, that was fun! Thank you for the tour, I enjoyed it greatly.
    I have a sort of a London story, involving not one but two (now) legendary figures from the rock world.
    In the Tate Gallery (the old one, not Tate Modern), in one of the smaller rooms, hangs possibly one of the most bizarre and complex paintings seen since the days of Hieronymus Bosch. Queen fans, certain mystics and art history types might recognise the name: The Fairy Fella's Master Stroke, by Richard Dadd.
    Freddie Mercury, a regular explorer of London's galleries while an art student at Ealing wrote a fairly obscure song about it, describing all the strange other-worldly folk featured and what he imagined they were up to. Down in deepest Devon, a friend had the album it featured on by this still pretty obscure new rock band, Queen. Being mystical temporarily dropped-out rural hippy types at the time, another friend and I decided we needed to check out the original painting, so headed off to the Tate - probably around Christmas/New Year 1974/5 - when we were next up in London. Found the gallery with the Dadds, and entering through one of two arched doorway, found the painting, had a good look, then looked around looking for more by the artist, only to be disappointed when the few others were fairly ordinary. We turned to leave out of the other arched doorway, when a strange figure rushed in through the same doorway we'd entered 10 minutes earlier.
    With gingery hair and no eyebrows, his thin frame was encased in an extraordinary looking baggy pale coloured suit, an enormous brightly coloured ethnic (possibly Mexican?) blanket wound around the whole thing to keep out the winter cold. Making straight for The Fairy Fella's Master Stroke, like us, this apparition studied it closely for a few minutes, then, again like us, looked around for more like it. Finding none, looking disappointed, he turned to go. I smiled at him sympathetically and was about to say something about our shared, unsuccessful quest, when my friend started digging me furiously in the ribs, and hissing something in my ear. I eventually made out he was saying 'It's David Bowie!". Not having a clue who that was, I continued smiling. The apparently coked up Bowie looked my friend and I up and down, from our mud-spattered boots to our rosy country cheeks, tangled hair and innocent smiles; a look of horror came over his face and with an almost imperceptible shudder, he turned away and fled, back through the doorway he'd entered from, in what you might perhaps fancifully imagine as a cloud of white dust. He seemed in a great hurry, shall we say.
    Of course, David knew Freddie, since they'd met when Freddie had helped him set up for a pre-fame gig at his art school's canteen, and later a still impoverished Freddie sold him a pair of handmade boots, while working full-time at a leather goods stall at the Kensington Market, in addition to running his and Roger's own stall there, to make ends meet. I have a story about them at the Market, too, if you wanted to do something on Kensington some time, and were interested. :-)

    Oh thanks Gideon I know a lot of songs in Enlish but not these ones... but for the Taxe man... I don't think that the Beatles had so troubles to pay their taxe.... I think the trouble was when the right of the songs where sold.... We have to much people who exploit workless people in France.... specialy if the workless had gone in University.... and what Johnny Holliday had try to do not pay his taxes... when you know the situation in France, it's not the singer or the teachers who is to feel sorrow for... but the workless... but what a great idea to make us visit London with the songs.... Very good work indeed...

    Hi, I hope you’re doing fine and having a merry Christmas and happy new year. I took the IELTS exam in March 2020 and achieved a band score of 7 as I needed it to go to Uni. I’ve been living in the UK since 2016. I reckon my English is much stronger than what it was when I sat the exam. The thing is I’m still not feeling I’m at C2 level as I miss the conversations spoken by others, I don’t fully understand the films and tv shows, and I don’t fully understand when somebody talks to me especially when they have thick or skewed accents or talk super fast or with a dialectal language. I’m aiming to get my English level to beyond C2. It’d be deeply appreciated if you could inform me what to do. Many thanks.

    Nice, video. I don't know what youtube is doing,it gets interrupted with a lot of adds (more than before). I have a question about this channel.
    In one of LetThemTalkTV videos, it speaks about how and why the English language diverged from the French. From what I remember it was a bit of movement in the late middle ages when people started to try to pronounce differently by reaction to something I forgot.
    I'd like to listen to this again. Does this ring a bell to anyone?
