Johanna, ummm.. not being mean in any way here.... I would say "Another one" so would you explain the rule to me about why you would say "One more" instead?

update: rockzmom, just noticed, I actually think you misread, I am saying that he should say "Another one... "

--------------

I don't know of any rules, but "One more song of my favourite" sounds very unnatural. Grammatically I don't think it's correct.
I was simply suggesting something that would sound natural.

In order not to change so much of his original wording, perhaps "One more song out of my favourites" would have worked. But it sounded like he wanted to say "Another one of my favouring songs is...." so that's what I suggested.

But the sentence that he wrote (One more song of my favourite by Johnny Cash - Ring Of Fire) was not correct English - I am sure you agree with that?

Khm...
Another one - другая (песня ...)
One more - еще одна (песня ...)
Is that correct? In Russia I would like to say "еще одна"...
Thanks to you.

Fedor, I don't know Russian very well, but I am sure the words are correctly translated.
The trouble is: English has certain patterns and ways of speaking that take a while to learn.
Your meaning (=what you wanted to say) was completely clear but the sentence sounded strange -- that was the problem.

The way to make your English sound more natural is simply to read a lot in English, listen to audio books, films etc... and participate in a forum like this one... There is no shortcut unfortunately - just start "immersing" yourself in English material...
If you only recently started with English then you are doing really well!

Johanna... yes, you are correct. I did not read and compute in my brain. So sorry... it is another one of those mornings for me.

By the way - it's realy very, very good film.

Haha rockzmom, not surprising that you misread since I made a typo!
Maybe I ought to focus a bit on quality as opposed to quantity when it comes to posting in this forum!

Next song from the girl's dance class. Sinnerman

This is actually from the 1960's, yet it has been used in the 1999 remake of the movie the "Thomas Crown Affair", closing credits of Inland Empire, on Homicide: Life on the Street and Entourage, and for you Aussies... used by Australian Network Ten during its Australian Football League broadcasts.

The original song is TEN minutes long and there is a remix version out which is 3:40 seconds. Up on the Playlist are both the ten minute version and the remix version. Lyrics are below.

Hello eveyone, from Apollonia (Lampada's friend),

I would like to add one of my favorite entertainers and favorite songs, Sarah Brightman singing "A Whiter Shade of Pale". I also like the same song, "A Whiter Shade of Pale" sang by Procol Harum who also wrote the song.

Enjoy!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeqO3FNU7lk


We skipped the light Fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray

And so it was that later
As the Miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

She said there is no reason
And the truth is plain to see
But I wandered through my playing cards
And I would not let her be
One of the sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might just as well've been closed

And so it was that later
As the Miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale


Peace and Love,
Apollonia x

Hi Apollonia! Thanks for the song and lyrics! I could not find the version by Sarah on Playlist but I did find one by Annie Lennox so I added that one to the Playlist and hope it is acceptable for all!

I also like "Deliver Me" by Sarah Brightman, yet I could not find that one on Playlist either!
Here is a link to it on You Tube and the Lyrics.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dwP8Q1I9Vs

Song: Deliver Me
Artist: Sarah Brightman
Album: Eden
Composer: Marsh
Year: 1998

Lyrics:
Deliver me, out of my sadness.
Deliver me, from all of the madness.
Deliver me, courage to guide me.
Deliver me, strength from inside me.

All of my life I've been in hiding.
Wishing there was someone just like you.
Now that you're here, now that I've found you,
I know that you're the one to pull me through.

Deliver me, loving and caring.
Deliver me, giving and sharing.
Deliver me, the cross that I'm bearing

All of my life I was in hiding.
Wishing there was someone just like you.
Now that you're here, now that I've found you,
I know that you're the one to pull me through.

Deliver me,
Deliver me,
Oh deliver me.

All of my life I was in hiding.
Wishing there was someone just like you.
Now that you're here, now that I've found you,
I know that you're the one to pull me through.

Deliver me,
Oh deliver me.
Won't you deliver me

This song is also a soundtrack to the movie "Cellular" with Jason Stathem and Kim Basinger. In this movie the main character (played by Chris Evans) was made to run so-ooooooo much.

PS. playlist.com is still closed for Russia .

I am no expert on online music services....
But what about Last.fm ?
I think I have an old account there... Maybe we could start a MasterRussian group?

My favourite online music service is "Pandora" but that was closed for UK users too, in 2008. I bought a great freestanding player for that, like a radio. I even paid their premium subscription fee! Then it got closed for UK users after the company was pressured by the MRIIA (copyrights lobby in the US). It took a while to hack it and I am still really irritated about it.

Last.fm is free only in GB, Germany and maybe a couple other European countries where licensing contracts could be made.

Russian folks! Can you tell me a service you can listen to?

I am working on last.fm now for you other folks!

I should have read ALL the Q&A FIRST They are very tricky!

Signing up and creating a user profile on Last.fm is free, and so is using most of the features with the exception of the radio, which is a subscriber feature in most countries.

Where do I need a subscription to listen to the radio?
If you live outside the US, UK or Germany you can try out Last.fm Radio with a free 30-track trial, after which a subscription is required to listen to it. Subscribing to Last.fm only costs €3.00 per month and in addition to non-stop personalised radio, you get other benefits such as ad free browsing and streaming. Read more about what you get with a subscription.

What if I live in the US, UK or Germany?
If you live in one of these three countries, you can listen to Last.fm Radio for free (with the exception of subscription premium radio features: listening to playlists and stations of music you've loved or tagged).

did not see that before I started working on the playlist and when I tried to play the playlist and it would not work... I found out you can only listen to the playlist if you are a subscriber!

You can listen to playlists if you’re a subscriber. To listen to a playlist – your own or anybody else’s – go to the playlist’s page (for instance in your own library), and click the “Play this playlist” button. Playlists will always be played in shuffle mode, and they have to contain at least 45 tracks by 15 different artists before they can be played.

Note: Playback in the software player is currently not supported; you can listen to playlists only on the site.

If you’re not a subscriber, you can also create your own playlists, but you can’t listen to them continously. Your newest playlist will be displayed in the player on your profile page, where you and other users visiting your profile can listen to its tracks as “one-by-one” previews.

The cost $3.00 per month!

So, once again... we need a service where everyone can listen and NOT have to pay a fee!!!

Rockzmom sorry I mislead you and good job to find the terms for Last.com.
I had not realised they turned it into a paying site outside of these countries.
I'll never use them again - I disagree of that policy. Good riddance.

I have HEARD about one called Imeem.com
I can't check it myself right now but supposedly it's similar to Last.fm.

No Johanna, see it is a paying site INSIDE these countries as well!!! That is what stinks even more!!! That is why their fine print is so tricky....

What if I live in the US, UK or Germany?
If you live in one of these three countries, you can listen to Last.fm Radio for free (with the exception of subscription premium radio features: listening to playlists and stations of music you've loved or tagged).

but not to worry......no blood, no foul

I suppose there's a general problem with this: the majority of music discussed here is legally restricted, and rights to use it, play it, distribute it have been transferred to certain companies - labels, distributors, agencies which control public performance rights. These companies fight sharing music for free tooth and nail. They made last.fm change their policy because last.fm is forced to pay royalties for music they play. That's why you have to pay a fee. Apparently, agreements could be reached with the rights-controlling agencies in the US, UK and Germany, which makes the situation different there.

The Russian speaking world, forgive me for putting it so bluntly, isn't exactly known for its copyright-respecting policies. The fact that Russian artists still exist even though copyright isn't heeded at all shows that probably the worries of such companies aren't based on fact, but as it is they seem to fight Russian websites like allofmp3.com which sell music very cheap. How much more must they hate sites which allow you to stream music for free?
