They are upside down, of course, but we got two of these ceiling fan/light fixtures for $50. Well and truly happy with that find. We do find good bargains. We actively look for them. The people were remodeling their house and went with a different style. They sell for between $150-200, so that was a nice score.
I am disappinted in you folks. No one was curious enough to look up the Keoma soundtrack. I do not suffer alone and so I have linked it for you here. it was truly an audio ear assault.
Worked on the house today.
My. A thrill a minute, aren't I?
OK. I have shared your pain - and it was excruciating. Is Tim tone deaf?
ReplyDeleteHe just might be. I cannot understand how anyone thought that was a good soundtrack. The voices. The words. The never ending songs.
DeleteYIKES! That was horrible, worse than fingernails on a blackboard. I share your suffering now. ):
ReplyDeleteWasn't it just? I know I'm belaboring the point, but my god. I have never heard a movie score that bad before. The lyrics...the voices...the fact that the songs went on and on and on...the fact that the music interrupted the movie all the way through. It was the craziest thing.
DeleteListened for 60 seconds and it was terrible especially the warble in her singing. Can I leave the room now please teacher?
ReplyDeleteYou may take a hall pass and go, Thelma.
DeleteHow very weird.
ReplyDeleteThe lyrics are just as weird.
DeleteYou are searching just for what you are
And you go from town to town to find yourself
No helper... Oh, no one
Don't go on, my boy
Don't kill them! No!
Don't kill them! No!
Don't kill them! No!
And when you find, that love has gone away
The world is tumblin' down, and down you are
Around you tears have no right to cry
The pain, you see, the pain, you feel
The wrong, you do, the hurt, you feel now
On you
You can not go and find yourself
It's nothing try and turn the world the other way
You can't think of being the one man
Who has got the only right to live
I've got pain and I must go on and on
You've done even more, than you could do, boy
Once more and I'm not a coward at all
Stop your fighting and find, find your place now
When there's no way to end, you must wait
When there wild wild can this heart
You remember, that I saved you, once I tried
But I can't help this time, if you don't stop
I don't want! I don't want!
Now to take your life away
No, I won't this time
What is mean, that I can't stop to follow
those, who destroy the life of the one, I love
What is war and I know the men, who can live to fight and like it
I want peace
I want love
I want peace
I want love
I want love
Now you're searching just for what you are
And you go from town to town to find yourself
No helper... I want love. Oh, no one
Don't go on, I want love. My boy
Don't kill them! And I want live! No!
Don't kill them! And I want love! No!
Don't kill them! Yes, I want love! No!
I want love!
When you find, why that love has gone away
Yes, I want love!
And the world is tumblin' down around you
And that's why love is gone now
That's a town, boy, that's a town
Yes, I want love, love someone!
Don't go on, my boy
Yes, I love
Don't go on, my boy
Yes, I want love
Yes, I want love
Don't go on, my boy
I want love!
Don't go on
I want love!
It is very useful sometimes being deaf.
ReplyDeleteIt's the sort of music that makes you consider sticking a sharp pencil in each ear. It just amazes me that this was a collaborative effort. Multiple minds put this together and thought it was good.
DeleteThat was a good find.
ReplyDeleteMy father's first job on leaving school was in a factory making ceiling fans
That's neat, Gz. There are so many things offered up on the local yard/garage sale sites. We have collected an amazing amount of stuff just keeping an eye on them. It will never cease to amaze me the number of people who buy things, and then, for whatever reason, change their minds. Most of our kitchen is reclaimed. The cabinets came from a house that had been damaged in a tornado. The owner decided while he was rebuilding, that he never did like the layout of his kitchen. He got new cabinets since he could not match up the ones he had. The butcher block island comes from an old restaurant. The pot rack from an auction. The kitchen table from his mother's house (I'm still looking for the right chairs.) It's how we've always done things, and we really do have quite a bit of fun with it.
DeleteI saw that you saw these ceiling fans. They caught my eye, as well. I am happy that you got them. Linda G in PA
ReplyDeleteThey were really a great find. Tim was so afraid we'd lose them, but it worked out. She told us what time to be at her house, and we were there on the dot!
DeleteWow, that was worse than awful singing, maybe how my singing would sound if I was dying. Gigi
ReplyDeleteTaking it one step further, that's the kind of music that would tempt me to kill someone, just for the silence. (I joke, people, I joke...)
DeleteCongrats on the fans! Those are great finds.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that music is annoying. I wonder why Tim listens to that!
He says he was watching the movie. The thing is, I couldn't watch the movie for the singing. It was caterwauling! He said that the movie was dumb. I tend to turn off dumb before I get to the end.
DeleteOk, I listened. At least there were words in english now and then that I could understand. Quite a growly voice that male singer has. Enough remembering. On to other stuff. Nice looking fans, hope the ceiling is high enough!!
ReplyDeleteI guess we will find out!
DeleteOh, there was a male singer too? I didn't get that far! LOL
DeleteI am always surprised about how ad hoc your furnishing plans are. I do not disapprove; I am merely surprised. Your build is basically up, but you find a window and decide that you can make it fit, or now light fixtures.
ReplyDeleteNo. It's kind of not like that at all. We are installing the windows. We were looking for windows to go on either end of the attic. We haven't cut them out yet. There are no openings. We wanted small windows, and found them. We knew that we wanted ceiling fans. The livingroom will be golden wood walls. If we were to go out and buy ceiling fans, we both would have been attracted to the style of these. The tiles? We wanted ceramic tile for the bathroom and the tile we found was your basic unadorned sandstone looking tiles that would go very well with the plain unadorned style of an Ikea bathroom. There is a cohesiveness to it, and a plan. Don't you think the lantern style lamp will go well with a buffalo mount?
DeleteNot exactly musical! Enthusiastic, I suppose, and enthusiasm takes you a long way - in this case, as far away as possible, please!
ReplyDeleteLOL. Now this made me laugh.
DeleteWell, I give that song a 👎!
ReplyDeleteCeiling fans are a real plus in the summer!
They are. The house will have no air conditioning. We are paying a lot of attention to air circulation and insulation and ventilation in the attic.
DeleteThere are bargains to be found if we look.
ReplyDeletePeople really do get rid of good things. This case almost seemed as if they are trying to exorcise the house of any trace of the last wife.
DeleteWe got a really good second hand kitchen from a big posh house in Cork. It's really strong.
ReplyDeleteThe house we got the fans from was quite posh as well. They had the live edge counter top that I really, really would like to have. It's a dream, really. I'll be happy if I wind up with a dishwasher (which I have been assured of).
DeleteOMG. MY EARS! THEY'RE BLEEDING!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, why didn't they hire someone who could at least sing? That sounds like it was recorded by the cashier at the corner grocery. (Not to insult random cashiers, who for all I know may sing quite well -- but my point is, it doesn't sound at all like a professional singer.)
Score on the ceiling fans!
An addendum: I played it for Dave, who proclaimed it "Amazingly awful."
DeleteI am glad to have my musical opinion seconded by a professional in the world of music. I honestly have to say I have never in my life had a sound track drive me from the room. She actually is a professional singer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sybil_(singer)
DeleteOkay. So it's not going on my playlist any time soon (ever!), but I've heard worse. The movie actually has a fairly decent rating at IMDb.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't sit through the music, honestly. This music played throughout the whole movie. Random bursting into songs. It did not fare well on Rotten Tomatoes.
