Best version of this song followed by Peggy Lee. Desi was my first singer to sing this song when I watched him on a rerun of I love Lucy. Watch his face as he nervously approaches the high part (crescendo, Ahh-aaahh -aah) toward the end. Wonderfully done. The emotion in his face toward the end. He put so much of his soul into this!
Haunting beautiful!! Grew up with I love Lucy and always admired this song when it came on.. now as a guitar player I can appreciate it even more!! That boom noise desi did was like what? How’s he doing that? Talent and practice is what it is. Beautiful song
My friend, Dr. Stuart Goodman, Stanford Hospital Orthopedic Surgeon diagnosed my carpal tunnel syndrome and Dr. Stephen Osbourne, Orthopedic Surgeon performed the surgery. First I went to neurologist. Basha Gelman-Opie of Stanford University (certified with daughter Molly Gelman) Psychology research.
I've always wondered what is the instrument making the eerie sound that's heard throughout the song starting at 1:00? It doesn't sound like the guitar.
Love the song, love the episode, as I love all of Boardwalk, but i thought it a little quirky they would match this piece to Eli hiding Easter eggs for the kids, unless it was a tongue and cheek reference to the eggs being "lost" in the wilderness. This song would have been really poignant when Eli is waking up from a drunken episode at the warehouse in Chicago (that he has failed in his charge to keep secure), after he had to abandon his family while fleeing prosecution. That is just me - being hypercritical and nit-picky. Doesnt take away from the show at all. Just a hindsight observation. What a ride BWE was! Never looked at it as actors performing, but as characters living their lives. And all the music was great.
(I Similau, I Similau, I Similau, I Similau) Spirit in the wood beat the hollow cane Spirit in the wood take away the pain Make the body ripe and alive again I Similau (I Similau, I Similau) Spirit in the heart make the blood flow fast Spirit in the heart make the beauty last Keep the hope alive when the youth go past I Similau (I Similau, I Similau) When my lover comes upon the scene Drop a petal from the tree Fling the mountain up into the sky Fill the river with the sea Spirit in the wood let the hollow cane Echo in the afterglow Waiting for the flame to burn again I Similau (I Similau I Similau)
Oh my god shut the fuck up. You TDS nitwits cannot stop bitching 24/7 about "Orange Man Bad" on every fucking video and site on the internet yet I bet you are the same troglodytes that right now are defending the far more incompetent and mentally handicapped dementia in chief who has fucked over this country worse than any other leader in our history in less than a single year.
can anyone enlighten me as to what instrument is playing the "pedal note"? it's low... it repeats on beat 4 of every bar whether it is consonant with the bass or not.... it sounds like a Bass Cuica... what is it????
