"Drivers Seat" by Snif N the Tears......

I can't make this stuff up :)  Back from 1979 and timeless

Awesome guitar work........you can also here it on TV commercials currently running for Bank of America/Volkswagen which is when it caught my ear and I had to hear the whole thing. 

The song is the opener for the album "Fickle Heart", which has one of the most awesome album covers you'll ever see and a few other really good songs.

From one of the greatest one hit wonders of all time ---  "Drivers Seat"

From the Michelle archives.....

I've been asked about the fact that I love to dance....and especially the tango.....and what music you can dance the tango to..

The following isn't for everyone but remember...its mainly dance music...this group is called the Gotan Project

They are mainly from South America although its members are international..

This song is called...."Santa Maria".....its maybe their most popular tango song....especially internationally and represent the most popular form of the tango....the Argentinian style

Another from the Michelle library...

I'm a huge Justin Timberlake fan and his latest venture is "Suit and Tie".....I love it!.....this one also has Jay Z

Also...JT is now officially back out on tour for the first time in years....one place he's coming is to Tulsa close to where we have our home.....so book early and often and spots will be available at the Michelle Hacienda of Fun for those who might want to catch the concert.....also look in your locale for a tour date

So again.....from the skinny white boy himself......JT (with Jay Z) and "Suit and Tie"

Once again we take a trip into the Michelle archives....

Today we have a song that was my late father's favorite....and hence of mine......it was one he would play on the stereo when he would take me sailing on Lake Merced in Sam Francisco when I was growing up every Sunday...

Its by Crosby, Stills and Nash......and its called......"The Southern Cross"......

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cBsnopTVmo

its about a lost love......we all can relate....but its amazingly beautiful and holds up well over time

So...from 1982........one oh so close to my heart....from Crosby, Stills and Nash....its...."the Southern Cross".......enjoy

One of my absolute favorite artists.  They are that rarity, someone who's catchy and accessible without being correspondingly shallow.  Despite its difficult history, the whole "Daylight Again" album is pretty excellent.  (OK, most of their stuff is, but still.)

From the Michelle Archives....while I'm talking about Sting......

its from Sting....and its called......"Fortress Around Your Heart"

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

A wonderful song released in 1985  after Sting went out on his own...his "post Police" days....

The song is part of the "Dream of the Blue Turtles" album....

The inspiration for this song was the pain he felt from the failure of his first marriage.  To quote Sting..

"Fortress is about appeasement, about trying to bridge the gaps between individuals. The central image is a minefield that you've laid around this other person to try and protect them. Then you realise that you have to walk back through it. I think it's one of the best choruses I've ever written."

So here we go....from 1985...its Sting....and "Fortress Around Your Heart"......This one's for Lisa :)

Another from the Michelle Archives......and what may be the last......

Today we have a classic.....and one that if you can't feel yourself move to at any age.....please go see a doctor :)

Its from 1979 .......from Sister Sledge.....and...."We Are Family"....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMVe_HcyP9Y

It was #1 in 1979 on the R&B charts and just about everything else......somehow it became the unofficial theme song for the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball tam who won the World Series behind that song in 1979.  Its also featured in the movie..."The Bird Cage"...in 1996...with Robin Williams, Nathan Lane and Gene Hackman...which is maybe one of the funniest movies I have ever scene and I just did a few months ago.

So here we go.....from 1979...its Sister Sledge .....and "We Are Family"....

This one is a classic from way back.....its from a band called Jethro Tull...and the song is....'Living in the Past"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VjPPuias1k

"Living in the Past" is the title of one of British progressive rock group Jethro Tull's best-known songs. It is notable for being written in the unusual 5/4 time signature. The 5/4 time signature is quickly noted from the beginning rhythmic bass pattern for all you musicians :)

The song was originally recorded during sessions for Tull's 1969 album Stand Up, but not included on the album, and released in the same year as a stand-alone single. However, it became more popular after its 1972 release on Tull's compilation album, also called Living in the Past. After its release on the album, it became the band's first Top 20 hit in the US, peaking at #11. The song was restored as a "bonus track" for the 2001 CD reissue of Stand Up (1969).

So....here we go......its Jethro Trull.....and....."Living in the Past"......enjoy :)

From the Michelle Archives......

This one will drive a few crazy....but it was a favorite of my fathers........its by Patsy Cline......and its called...."Sweet Dreams"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b35SkJdDGV4

Most of you never heard of Patsy Cline.....she was a country singer who would occasionally cross into pop......but always country at heart and still ranks as one of the greatest of all time....a lady who died way before her time...with a voice that never fails to knock me over

She still has.....in my opinion....the most beautiful voice I think I have ever heard.  This song was written by Don Gibson in 1956....and Cline originally wanted nothing to do with it.  She felt strongly she didn't have the voice......the range for it...which when you hear it....is amazing she could think that.   But that was Cline.....she was intensely loyal to her fans and she also felt it wasn't "country" enough.   She also hated backup singers so for this recording they were toned back...just for Patsy.  Cline's life...as some know...seemed to always hit bumps in the road....some would even call tragic....but she never gave in.....never quit.....I guess that is why I personally....while having never seen her other than in old videos.....have so much respect for her.

The irony of this song.....is that it was not released until after her death in a tragic plane crash with her manager Randy Hughes and a few others just outside of Camden, Tennessee on March 5 1963.  Her legacy still stands tall today.....her voice distinctive....hauntingly beautiful

So....here we go.........its the late great Patsy Cline.......and "Sweet Dreams".......this is for my late father Rance....this one's for you Dad

Patsy Cline was the best ever Country singer. Anything she sang whether it was a honkytonk tune to kick your heels up to or a slow song that put a tear in your beer Patsy's songs were often recorded by others that admired and loved her  She is the Queen of Country Music  And no one will ever do it as good as she :)

Post by: Michelle on June 23, 2013, 04:08:07 PM
Another from the Michelle Archives.....this is one more on the late great Patsy Cline..

There is some controversy regarding Cline and her recording of .... "Crazy"......which is one of her ...if not her......signature song.

Willie Nelson wrote the song in early 1961; at the time he was a journeyman singer-songwriter who had written several hits for other artists but had not yet had a significant recording of his own.   Nelson originally wrote the song for country singer Billy Walker who turned it down for the same reason Roy Drusky turned down "I Fall to Pieces"  (another signature Patsy Cline song!) the previous year - that it was "a girl's song".  The song's eventual success helped launch Williy Nelson's as a performer as well as a songwriter and is one of those few songs in history that we seem to always identify TWO different performers.

Cline also had issues with the song though....as only Patsy could...

Cline was already a superstar by this time and the song was proposed to her as a follow-up to "I Fall To Pieces"......another song of hers that I love.  The story is fascinating....

Willy Nelson, who at that time was known as a struggling songwriter by the name of Hugh Nelson, was a regular at Tootsie's Orchid Lounge on Nashville's Music Row, where he frequented with friends Kris Kristofferson and Roger Miller, both unknown songwriters at that time. Nelson met Cline's husband, Charlie Dick, at the bar one evening and pitched the song to him. Dick took the track home and played it for Cline, who absolutely hated it at first because Nelson's demo "spoke" the lyrics ahead of and behind the beat, about which an annoyed Cline remarked that she "couldn't sing like that shit".  Patsy was always considered one of the boys and had a legendary mouth.....LOL

Patsy gave it a try after prodding from her manager Owen Bradley and after 4 takes and much griping by Cline regarding the high notes...she finally recorded the song we have come to love....and thank God for it :)

So here we go....the song that is #85 on Rolling Stones Greatest Songs of All Time List.....from 1961....its Patsy Cline.....and....."Crazy"

Another....and probably the last.....from the Michelle Archives...

And its one I am very passionate about because my father was......it has to do with former Beatle ...George Harrison.....and his song

"What is Life"

This song is one Harrison wrote after he left the Beatles.  Harrison had a great career as a solo artist....one I personally feel he does not get enough credit for.  Harrison left the Beatles in january 1969 and he considered it an "emancipatory event" as it got him away from what he felt were the restrictions put on him by the band and the label.  he began thinking of going solo in November 1968 when he went to Woodstock and spent considerable time with Bob Dylan.  In mid-1969 he was doing some collaborative work with Billy Preston and it was while driving to see Preston in London that he conceived of "What is Life"....he actually thought up the lyrics...which have become so famous....on that trip...

What I feel, I can't say
But my love is there for you any time of day
But if it's not love that you need
Then I'll try my best to make everything succeed.

Tell me, what is my life without your love?
And tell me, who am I without you, by my side?

"What is Life" became #1 in Europe...which is wild considering Harrison was going to offer the song to Preston to record but at the last minute kept it for himself......and the rest.....as they say.....is history :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=difpUGG-2uo

So here we go.....from 1969......and the great George Harrison........its..... "What is Life"........this one's for you Daddy....I miss you so and need you so much now

Title: Re: what are you listening to now
Post by: Michelle on July 02, 2013, 12:59:21 AM
Another from the Michelle Archives.....and my last........this is my father's favorite song....

Its by former Beatle ......George Harrison.......and its...."My Sweet Lord"

The song was released in November 1970 as part of the famous "All Things Must Pass" album.  The song topped the charts worldwide and marked the debut of Harrison's debuting the "slide guitar" technique.  The recording has been described as a "painstakingly crafted tableau" of sound, beginning with a bank of "chiming" acoustic guitars and the "flourish" of zither strings that introduces Harrison's slide-guitar motif.  This was to be Harrison's signature and the sound he would be known for the rest of his life.  Harrison performed "My Sweet Lord" at the Concert for Bangladesh in August 1971 and it remains the most popular composition from his post-Beatles career.  The song is # 460 on Rollings Stone's List of 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

The lyrics to "My Sweet Lord" reflect Harrison's often-stated desire for a direct relationship with God, and were worded with a simplicity that made them identifiable to all believers, regardless of religious denomination.

My sweet Lord
Hmm, my Lord
Hmm, my Lord
I really want to see you
Really want to be with you
Really want to see you, Lord, but it takes so long, my Lord ...

So here we go.......its the great George Harrison.....and one of the best of all time......."My Sweet Lord"........listen up Dad...this is for you.....I love you and miss you so much :)

Well...inspite of pleas for me to stay away......The Michelle Archives are making a Holiday weekend appearance.....

Mainly because for me its George Harrison week......why you might ask?.....because I said so!

I have previously posted 2 songs that were probably Harrison's best loved from his solo career....but now...I want to post my personal favorite :)

Its from 1987 and its George Harrison's...."I've Got My Mind Set On You"......and is part of his "Cloud Nine" album

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_niy2ZM5Jo

This song is spectacular and the music video is priceless :)  The song reached #1 in the US...ironically it broke the tie for #1 singles that existed between former Beatles ...Harrison, John Lennon and Ringo Starr.  McCartney leads with 9 #1's all time as a solo/former Beatle.

This was to be the last #1 song from a former Beatle and the last for Harrison.  It was the only #1 of Harrison's not written by him and not with religious overtones.

The music video for this song, featuring Harrison, received as many accolades as the song itself and it truly is a hoot for anyone who is familiar with the usually serious Harrison.
The video I refer to in the link was directed by Gary Weis and has Harrison sitting and playing in a study.   As the song progresses, furniture and knick-knacks (like a stuffed squirrel, sentient chainsaw, and mounted warthog) begin to dance along with the song. In the middle of the video, Harrison (through the use of a stunt double) performs a backflip from his chair and follows it with a dance routine before jumping back to his seat.  there was a rumor for a long time that Harrison himself did the stunts but that was later refuted.  I still love to believe George did the stunts just because its fun to think about it.
The video received significant airplay, and was nominated for three MTV VMAs.

So here we go!.......one more time for the great great George Harrison.....its......."I Got My Mind Set On You"......

This one's for you Mckenzie.....have fun in London.....I love you :)

George Harrison may have underplayed his sense of humor at times, but it was always there.  Search for the "ohnothimagen" radio ads used to promote the "Extra Texture" album, or his gleeful desecration of his own "All Things Must Pass" cover, found inside the reissued CD.  (see Below)  He was also the only Beatle to make an appearance in Eric Idle's brilliant spoof "The Rutles."

Even while guarding his privacy jealously, he did it with a twinkle in his eye.  At the entrance to his estate was a series of signs, with "No Trespassing" listed in many languages.  There was a Union Jack next to the words "No Trespassing", with the same message in the appropriate language next to the flags of many other countries.  Listed last was a US flag, with the translation "Get Your Ass Outta Here!!"

If you did make it to the inner sanctum, you might be subject to one of George's favorite jokes.  He would often bring first time visitors into a study whose primary feature was a large picture window overlooking a beautiful man-made lake on the property.  After a few minutes, George would be informed that he had a phone call that couldn't wait, and he'd politely excuse himself.  The lake was positioned in such a way that from the house it appeared to be one unbroken expanse of water, but was actually three different levels, with the middle one having stepping stones that were invisible from the house.  He'd wait until the visitor had enough time for their attention to be drawn to the window, when they'd incredulously be treated to the sight of George apparently walking on water outside....   ;D

No wonder the guy hung out with Peter Sellers and the Monty Python troupe!

Another from the Michelle Archives.......

This is one from the Moody Blues.....one of the more prolific bands in history........a band that when most people think of them think of the iconic "Nights in White Satin".

But my favorite song of theirs is one a bit more fun paced...and one that never ceases to get to me....

Its "The Story In Your Eyes" and has some of the best guitar work (which I am so partial to being a guitar player) I have heard.
The song was released in 1971 and written by band member Justin Hayward.  It is part of the wonderful "Every Good Boy Deserves Favor " album.
"The Story in Your Eyes" features a repeated electric guitar riff, a propulsive yet elegant bass line, and Justin Hayward on lead vocals, while incremental use of a Mellotron and a choral background generates an expansive, rhapsodic sound. "The Story in Your Eyes" was the Moody Blues' final single to feature only the Mellotron as it would be supplanted by the chamberlin, a similar instrument in time for their next album, "Seventh Sojourn".

As with most Moody Blues Album covers....this one for "Every Good Boy Deserves Favor" is beautiful and priceless.

My song of the day is Elton John's CAPTAIN FANTASTIC AND THE BROW DIRT COWBOY, the title track from one of his best albums, a musical autobiography cloaked in metaphor.  The hit single was "Someone Saved My Life Tonight," but the whole album is well worth a listen.  Many years later Elton recorded a worthy follow-up called THE CAPTAIN AND THE KID, but for now enjoy the original title track.

As everyone knows.....I love Justin Timberlake....

This is one of my favorites by him and very recent....it is one that moves me like no other.....its "Mirrors"......its from this 2013 album..."20/20 Experience"

The song was released on February 11, 2013 as the album's second single, following his performance at the 2013 Grammy Awards.  "Mirrors" lyrics discuss a lover's "other half" after having taken a break in their relationship. The song received generally positive reviews from music critics, who complimented its production and lyrical content. It debuted at 26 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and later became a Top 5 hit, peaking at number 2 and at number one in the United Kingdom and within the top ten in several countries internationally.

Some sources say the inspiration for "Mirrors" was JT's wife....the gorgeous Jessica Biel........

If so.....that is probably more than enough inspiration for anyone...

So here we go...its new for 2013......give it a listen...I promise you'll like it.....

Soooo here we go...its JT.....the great JT....and......"Mirrors"...........enjoy

This is a story of a friend of mine... That he asked me to share with you... He lead a rough life, the kind of person who you would meet, and instantly wish he would be your friend... A total stand-up guy, who deserved nothing but respect, and everything nice in life... Only problem, is that life sucks, and you don't get what you deserve... I'll tell you that story....

My friend's got a girlfriend
Man he hates that bitch
He tells me every day
He says "man I really gotta lose my chick
In the worst kind of way"

She sits on her ass
He works his hands to the bone
To give her money every payday
But she wants more dinero just to stay at home
Well my friend
You gotta say

I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way
na-na, Why don't you get a job?
Say no way, say no way ya, no way
na-na, why don't you get a job?

I guess all his money, well it isn't enough
To keep her bill collectors at bay
I guess all his money, well it isn't enough
Cause that girl's got expensive taste

I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way
na-na, Why don't you get a job?
Say no way, say no way ya, no way
na-na, why don't you get a job?

Well I guess it ain't easy doing nothing at all
But hey man free rides just don't come along
every day


Oh, the bitch's name?? I guess everyone guessed it by now...

Sadie, why don't you get a job??

Heard this one this afternooon.  It's THIS ONE by Paul McCartney, one of his lesser-known singles, taken from the 1989 album "Flowers In The Dirt."  The song did moderately well, hitting #18 in the UK and #28 on the US Adult Contemporary charts, but does not get a lot of radio play these days.  That's a pity, because it's a very nice track that deserved more attention than it got.  There is a music video, but IMO the visuals distract from the song itself, so I chose not to link that version.  Enjoy!

From the Michelle Archives.....

I make no secret that one of my favorite groups of all time is Maroon 5......and Adam Levine...who can have me just about any damn time he wants me...I would be his slut....yes.....yes I would :)

Since this is almost what I will designate as Maroon 5 week.....as someone I care a lot about dedicated a Maroon 5 song to me yesterday...

My favorite of their's is one called......"This Love"......its from 2004

The song was written by frontman Adam Levine and keyboardist Jesse Carmichael for their debut album "Songs About Jane" (2004). The track is built around a piano-led strut, which is immediately followed by synth percussion, and a repeating guitar sound.  Its very catchy and I love it....

The song's lyrics are based on Levine's break-up with an ex-girlfriend. He revealed that the song was written in the "most emotionally trying time" in his life. He also describes some of the lyrics in the song as sexual (Oh gawd yessss!)   "This Love" was well received by music critics, who noted the track's musicscape. It was released on January 27, 2004, as the second single from "Songs About Jane".

The single entered the top ten on most charts, topping several of Billboard magazine's component charts, including reaching the number one spot on the Hot Adult Top 40 Tracks chart. The music video was met with controversy, regarding extended intimate scenes between Levine and his then-girlfriend. "This Love" helped Maroon 5 win the MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist and was the third most played song of 2004. The song won Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals at the 2006 Grammy Awards, and, to date, is one of Maroon 5's most successful songs.

So here we go!.....from 2004.....its Maroon 5.....and....... "This Love".......

Today I'm listening to GOOD GIRLS DON'T by The Knack, circa 1979.  The Knack were best known for their huge debut single MY SHARONA and have sometimes been listed as a "one-hit wonder", but they actually had half a dozen songs that charted.  Though leader and primary songwriter Doug Fieger and drummer Bruce Gary have now passed away, archival releases from the group continue to the present.  It is interesting to note that their brand of heavy, hooky power pop has in many ways aged better than the synth-heavy groups who succeeded them on the charts.  So whether it's a trip down memory lane or a first-time discovery, I hope you all enjoy the official video for this one.

And this one is different...and so very special.....

It was one a father shared with his 12 year old daughter so many years ago on her birthday.....

He took her to a concert by the great Elmer Bernstein in San Francisco.....yeah...you heard me right....a concert with an orchestra :)

And we heard an arrangement I have never forgotten...and I hope never will....its one we have all heard before...no matter our age.....

Its the theme song to the movie......."The Magnificent Seven"....the movie with Yul Brynner....James Coburn...Steve McQueen.....Robert Vaughn....Eli Wallach

If you haven't seen it......Please do......I don't care who you are....what you like.....you'll love this movie.....
Its just simple Good versus Evil......in its most wonderful cinematic form....

And Elmer Bernstein put together a score for the ages.....its one that should be heard in concert.....live......it has few peers.....

His scores for The Magnificent Seven and To Kill a Mockingbird were ranked by the American Film Institute as the eighth and seventeenth greatest American film scores of all time, respectively, on the list of AFI's 100 Years of Film Scores. Bernstein, Bernard Herrmann, Max Steiner, and Jerry Goldsmith are the only composers to have two scores listed, and are therefore in second place for the most scores on the list, behind John Williams, who has three

Hearing it .....it never fails to evoke memories of Yul Brynner....Steve McQueen.....and their screen presence.....and others too

And a magical evening a little girl had with her father on her birthday some 22 years ago....

So here we go....its Elmer Bernstein conducting....the theme from "The Magnificent Seven".......from 1960

I nominate this for the best post in this thread :)   

Although I'm a Goldsmith man to the end, Bernstein was a fabulous composer, and his Copeland influenced Americana /western scores were flat out wonderful.

If you enjoyed The Magnificent Seven, here's one cut from the same cloth, his rousing theme from The Sons Of Katie Elder.

Thanks for bringing up Western movie themes. Great songs as well as the overall beauty of a Western movie (especially the scenic background of these movies). My favorite Western movie theme is from the iconic "The Good,The Bad and The Ugly". This is the Hugo Montenegro version,which is the best in my opinion.

Well, I'd have to go back to Morricone's original, and for good measure toss in The Ecstasy Of Gold -

Okie... here it is... My most favorite song in the entire world... By probably my favorite all-round band ever.... Three Doors down....

I'm gonna give a little Michelle'sque preview of the song.... It was released in August 2003 as the third single from the album "Away from the Sun", which IMO, was their best album ever. Even though the song did not hit that big upon release, shying behind other amazing songs on the album like "Kryptonite" and "When I'm gone", it slowly gained popularity following the Iraq War, as it became the anthem for deployed troops and their families.

Brad Arnold states that the main inspiration for this song was his now ex-wife. The song is about being away from someone and missing them, and it's not about how long you've gone, it's about the loneliness that comes with missing someone. It's also about a state of peace that comes with dreaming of the missed loved one.

As a personal touch... This song means a lot to me... I've always been the traveling type, whether it's short sporadic trips, or just complete re-locations which always put me away from those I love the most. And that endeared this song so much to me, warm tears always flow whenever I hear it, wherever I may be. Even currently, as I live in London, I only see my love, Alexis on weekends, as she lives in Manchester (a 3'ish hour distance for those who don't know)... And now, it even heralds a new deeper meaning when I'm away from certain special people I met on here, when our schedules and time differences take us away from each other.... It just beautifully haunts me, and captures the essence of my own existence...

A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don't think I can look at this the same

But all the miles that separate
Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face

I'm here without you, baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you, baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you, baby

But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and me, yeah.

The miles just keep rollin'
As the people leave their way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
But I hope that it gets better as we go, oh, yeah, yeah

Everything I know, and anywhere I go (oh whoa)
It gets hard but it won't take away my love (oh whoa)
And when the last one falls
When it's all said and done
It gets hard but it wont take away my love, whoa, oh, oh



Ladies and Gentlemen.... Here without you... by Three Doors Down...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPBzTxZQG5Q

** I'm dedicating this song to you Chelley... Cuz now, when I hear it on weekends, it's you who I think of, and gets that warm tear rolling down my cheeks.... I love you babe <3 **

Today we have the Rolling Stones, with SHE'S SO COLD from 1980's EMOTIONAL RESCUE album.  As with many of the best Stones tracks, there's an immediate groove that centers around a great guitar riff and their almost-telepathic rhythm section.  The song made it to about the mid-20's in the charts near the end of that year, but garnered a substantial amount of airplay on AOR oriented radio.  It's something of a latter-day Rolling Stones classic, and still turns up on the radio and in concert on a reasonably regular basis.  Enjoy!

When you came in the air went out.
And every shadow filled up with doubt.
I don't know who you think you are,
But before the night is through,
I wanna do bad things with you.

I'm the kind to sit up in his room.
Heart-sick and eyes filled up with blue.
I don't know what you've done to me,
But I know this much is true:
I wanna do bad things with you.
OK.

When you came in the air went out.
And all those shadows there, are filled up with doubt.
I don't know who you think you are,
But before the night is through,
I wanna do bad things with you.
I wanna do real bad things with you.

Ow, ooh.

I don't know what you've done to me,
But I know this much is true:
I wanna do bad things with you.
I wanna do real bad things with you.

This is a classically brilliant song by Amanda Palmer....I admit it, I never heard of her until now but I totally LOVE her now!!! I guess she was giving a concert in the UK 'n she had a wardrobe malfunction, a 'nip slip', for a few seconds. Well, one of those derfwad rag sheets The Daily Mail (never heard of it either until now) did a whole article just on her nip slip, ignoring the concert, the songs, the performance.  ::)  ::)  ::)

Well, in a live concert a few days later, Amanda Palmer had her own answer to the dipsticks at the Daily Mail....this brilliant song where she bares her soul along with, ummmm, watch the video, you'll find out!

Another from the Michelle Archives......and one of personal favs...

From one of my favorite artists.....Chris Isaak.......and his song......"Wicked Games"....

"Wicked Game" is a 1989 song by Chris Isaak from his third studio album "Heart Shaped World"  Despite being released as a single in 1989, it did not become a hit until it was later featured in the David Lynch film "Wild at Heart" (1990). Lee Chesnut, an Atlanta radio station music director who loved David Lynch films, began playing the song and it quickly became a nationwide top ten hit in January 1991, reaching #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making it the first hit song of his career. James Calvin Wilsey played the distinctive lead guitar solo on the song and his string work is truly awesome...and haunting.

The song is written in the mode of B Dorian. Through several years, many different versions and arrangements of the song were made before the final version was released. Both the bassline and drums (except the cymbals) were sampled from previous recordings of the song and then looped.

Chris also has another song I adore..........of many songs of his that I love.......but this one is also special..... I highly recommend....."Blue Hotel"

So here we go....from 1989......its Chris Isaak.....and......."Wicked Games"......

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xwTywB_3UU

And the music video....is AWESOME!

The most well-known music video of the song was directed by Herb Ritts, shot in Hawaii and featured top model Helena Christensen rolling and frolicking on the beach with Isaak. It was filmed in black and white. Christensen was topless and Isaak was shirtless through most of the video, although clever camera angles concealed any actual nudity.

This is for you Ewa my love.....you and me forever....Michelle and Ewa......its all about ME.......enjoy :)

Its the late great Roy Orbison.......and his great hit......."Crying"

To say Orbison was one of the greats would be an understatement....and "Crying" is maybe his signature song.....with his four octave voice....Orbison hits all the right notes.....

The song was released as a 45rpm single by Monument Records in July 1961 and made #1 on the United States Cashbox chart for a week on October 7, 1961, although it peaked at #2 on the rival Billboard Hot 100.
In 1987, Orbison rerecorded the song as a duet with K.D. Lang as part of the soundtrack for the motion picture, Hiding Out. Their collaboration won the Grammy Award for Best Country Collaboration with Vocals. The duet version was a minor US chart hit for the two, peaking at #42 on the Hot Country Singles chart, though it was a more substantial hit in the UK in 1992, reaching #13 on the UK Singles Chart.
In 2002, "Crying" was honored with a Grammy Hall of Fame Award. In 2004, Rolling Stone Magazine ranked it #69 on their list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time".

"Crying" was also recorded by one of my personal favorites...Chris Isaaks....and he does a spectacular job with it....I recommend you give it a listen..

Many others have recorded this signature song.....but none have done with it what Roy has...

So here we go....from 1961......Its the late great Roy Orbison......and...."Crying"....

I was all right for awhile
I could smile for awhile
But I saw you last night
You held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say, "Hello"

Oh, you wished me well
You, you couldn't tell
That I'd been crying over you
Crying over you

When you said, "So long"
Left me standing all alone
Alone and crying, crying
Crying, crying

It's hard to understand
But the touch of your hand
Can start me crying

I thought that I was over you
But it's true, so true
I love you even more
Than I did before

But, darling, what can I do?
For you don't love me
And I'll always be crying over you
Crying over you

Yes, now you're gone
And from this moment on
I'll be crying, crying
Crying, crying
Yeah, crying, crying
Over you

This for you Dad....I miss you :)

Roy's version is, of course, the definitive one.  I will put in a good word for Don McLean's 1978 cover, which was a substantial worldwide hit in its own right (US #5, US AC #2, US Country #6, Can #7, UK #1, etc.).  He produced a beautiful version that was a worthy tribute to Roy.

I was listening to a compilation of British Invasion-era rock today.  One of the many excellent tracks included was OVER UNDER SIDEWAYS DOWN by The Yardbirds.  While not played a lot on the radio these days, the group was a pivotal launching point for great guitarists in the 60's, having at various times included Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page as members.  Ultimately, the group disbanded, leaving Page owning the name and responsible for a number of contracted appearances with no band to perform them.  He put together a group of "New Yardbirds" who completed the scheduled tour dates before abandoning the name entirely and re-christening themselves as Led Zeppelin.

All that was still in the future, however, when this great number was issued in 1966.  The song was a significant hit for the group, reaching #13 in the US and making the top ten in their native UK.  Though Jeff Beck was the lead guitarist on the studio recording, most video performances date from a little later, after Jimmy Page had taken on those duties.  The song became the title track for its parent album in many areas, though in deference to the various titles the album had in different countries it is now generally referred to as "Roger The Engineer" (a reference to the cover art). 

Regardless of what the album you found it on was called, the song itself is a great slab of early psychedelic guitar rock.  Oh, and it totally rocks!  So here's The Yardbirds with OVER UNDER SIDEWAYS DOWN.  Enjoy!

To say I love Maroon 5 and Adam Levine would be a gross understatement.........I ADORE them.....(call me guys when you need a groupie)...

This is one of my favorite fun songs from them...its called....."Harder To Breathe"....

The song was written by frontman Adam Levine for the band's debut album "Songs About Jane" (2002).

The song, according to Adam, expresses tension, having been written quickly under trying circumstances. "Harder to Breathe" tells the story of a relationship Levine had with a woman named Jane, who, according to Levine was the "muse" in the band's album.   "Harder to Breathe" was met with positive reception by music critics, who praised the track's sound.  

The song peaked at number six on Airplay Monitor. It also appeared on the Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart at number 31 and the Billboard Hot 100 at number 18. Internationally, the single charted at #13 in the United Kingdom. "Harder to Breathe" also appeared in the Netherlands, Sweden, Australia, and New Zealand charts, respectively. The song also appears in Maroon 5's 2004 EP 1.22.03.Acoustic in an acoustic version and the live album Live – Friday the 13th (2005).

So here we go....from 2002 and my boys!....Maroon 5.....its...."Harder To Breathe"...

Does it burn
Is it painful to learn
That it's me that has all the control

Does it thrill
Does it sting
When you feel what I bring
And you wish that you had me to hold

When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
You'll understand what I mean when I say
There's no way we're gonna give up
And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams
Is there anyone out there 'cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there 'cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there 'cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe

Another from my fav guy.....Chris Isaak and his band......its called...."Baby Did A Bad Bad Thing"....and it rocks...

"Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing" is a song by American rock and roll artist Chris Isaak, released as the first track to the 1995 album "Forever Blue". The song was later featured in the 1999 Stanley Kubrick film "Eyes Wide Shut", starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. It peaked at #9 in September 1999 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart, although it was only #27 when it was originally released in 1996.  The soundtrack for the film featured a remixed version of the song. The song was also used at the beginning of the Cold Case episode "Dog Day Afternoons", as well as the end of the CSI: Miami episode "Curse Of The Coffin". It was also used in the trailer for the film "Sorority Row".

The music video of the song was directed by Herb Ritts. It features French model Laetitia Casta videotaped in a motel room gyrating sexually being watched by Isaak. Casta was dressed in lingerie and wore a black wig throughout the video. In July 1999, VH1 aired two versions of the music video, the censored version was played before 9 p.m. and the uncensored version was played after 9 p.m. The video was initially regarded as too steamy by the network. The video was ranked #28 on VH1's 50 Sexiest Video Moments.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5W0_YZ5jRQY - the sexy one

Today I've been listening to the Gin Blossoms.  Here's one of my favorites from them, first issued on the soundtrack to "Empire Records" in 1995.  It just missed the top ten, stopping at #11 on the mainstream charts.  It did, however, make the top 5 on the Modern Rock, Mainstream Rock, Adult Pop and Mainstream Top 40 charts, as well as making the UK Top 40, and as such is one of the group's most successful songs.  An excellent example of 90's mainstream jangly pop/rock, here's the Gin Blossoms with "Til I Hear It From You":

Its one of the most truly beautiful songs I have ever heard....its from 1986 and its by "Heart"...and its called......"These Dreams"...

"These Dreams" was released in 1986 from their 1985 self-titled album. It was the first song by the band to become a number one hit on the Billboard Hot 100.

In 1985 Martin Page (who co-wrote several other pop hits, including "We Built This City" and "King of Wishful Thinking") and Bernie Taupin (longtime collaborator of Elton John) wrote the music and lyrics to the song now known as "These Dreams".   At the time, Page and Taupin were under contract to Columbia Records and the record company offered the song to Stevie Nicks, who expressed no interest in recording it.   Heart had just recently signed with Capitol Records. While the band had previously recorded their own material, they were impressed by "These Dreams" and agreed to use it on their upcoming album.
"These Dreams" differed from preceding Heart songs in which it was a polished, power ballad. The song also marked the first Heart single on which lead vocals were performed by Nancy Wilson instead of Ann Wilson. According to The Billboard Book of Number One Hits by Fred Bronson, when it came time for Nancy Wilson to record her vocal, she was suffering from a cold and her voice sounded somewhat raspy and gravelly. After the song reached its peak of success, producers reportedly wanted Nancy to recreate the gravelly sound on future recordings, asking her, "Can't you just get sick again?  Another great song.....with a great story behind it :)

The song was dedicated (on the album) to Nancy Wilson's good friend Sharon Hess (May 28, 1963 - March 16, 1985), who died from leukemia shortly before the song was released.  The lyrics of the song describe the fantasy world a person enters when faced with a difficult situation in real life.

The lyrics of the song describe a woman who is within a world of fantasy that occurs every time she falls asleep, a world where what is and what isn't cannot always be determined, "every second of the night, I live another life." She speaks of wishing to "hide away from the pain," but it is uncertain whether she wants to live in the dream world to hide away from the pain of the real world, or wants to go back to the real world to hide from the pain of the dream world.  To say this song has no special meaning to me would be a lie......those who know me know this last part means so much to me :)

So here we go!!.......the song that helped get my love for music going as a little girl.......its from 1986.......from "Heart".........
...its........"These Dreams"...

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

"These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away
(Further I'm away)"


I could dedicate this......but she knows who she is...thank you love...:)

Its from the great!....Van Halen.....and they are only great with David Lee Roth!!.......not that fraud Sammy Hagar!!

Its Van Halen....and one of my personal favorites of theirs......."When Its Love"......

"When It's Love" was recorded and released as a single from their album "OU812". It was the most popular song from that album, hitting #1 on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks charts and #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.  The song has been a live performance staple since it was released in 1988.  The song was also included in the set list for the band's ill-fated 1998 tour with Gary Cherone.  Eddie has stated that this particular guitar solo is a nod to Eric Clapton.
It was featured on a VH1 special, "The Greatest: 25 Greatest Power Ballads," where it was ranked as the 24th greatest power ballad of all time.

So here we go!!...from 1988!......its the great!....Van Halen.......and....."When It's Love"....

This one is another from the great......"Van Halen"....its from 1979 and it was their first top 20 hit.....its...."Dance The Night Away"....

"Dance the Night Away" was Van Halen's first top 20 U.S. hit, peaking at #15, and the second song from their 1979 album "Van Halen II". While the rest of the songs from this album had existed in various forms since their days doing demos and playing clubs, this song was possibly the only song written during the recording sessions for the album. The band members conceived the song during the recording sessions while they were standing in a circle humming to each other. It was inspired by Fleetwood Mac's "Go Your Own Way". Eddie Van Halen purposely left a guitar solo out of the final version of the song, replacing it instead with a riff of tap harmonics. David Lee Roth originally wanted to call the song "Dance Lolita Dance", but Eddie convinced him that "Dance the Night Away" was more suitable and the chorus was changed to reflect that.

Roth claimed, during a 2006 performance in San Diego, California, that he wrote this song in tribute to an intoxicated woman who was having sex in the back of a truck and ran with her pants on backwards while escaping police officers into the bar where the fledgling band was playing. This was also mentioned at a 2006 performance in Detroit, Michigan.

SO here we go......from 1979 and the great.....Van Halen......its...."Dance The Night Away"......

A replay from Michelle's Archives....

A one hit wonder...but a classic......from 1978 and a group called..."Snif N The Tears".....and its....."Drivers Seat"

You've heard it before...you wondered....what is that?...where can I find it?.....

This song is the one I learned to play my Fretlight Guitar on.....and features some of the best guitar work I have ever heard

"Driver's Seat" is a 1978 song by the British band Sniff 'n' the Tears that appears on their debut album, Fickle Heart. The band is considered a one-hit wonder as "Driver's Seat" was their only hit.
The genesis of the song dates back to 1973 and a demo tape recorded for a French record label by singer/guitarist Paul Roberts for the band Ashes of Moon. However, that band broke up and, at the suggestion of drummer Luigi Salvoni, Roberts re-formed it as Sniff 'n' the Tears with guitarists Laurence "Loz" Netto and Mick Dyche and bassist Nick South. They shopped the demo tape and signed with the small Chiswick label in 1977.
According to Paul Roberts, "Driver's Seat" isn't about driving, but rather "fragmented, conflicting thoughts and emotions that might follow the break-up of a relationship". One of the key decisions made in recording the song was to start with Roberts' acoustic guitar and drums and gradually fade in other instruments.
"Driver's Seat" reached #15 on the American Billboard Pop Singles chart in the fall of 1979, and reached the top 10 in The Netherlands in November 1980. It reappeared at #1 on the Dutch Top 40 eleven years later as a result of use of the song in a Pioneer commercial.

So here we goo!!...from 1978....and the group..."Snif N The Tears"....its........."Drivers Seat"....

My favorite part is the wonderful guitar wail of lead guitar Mick Dyche....one of the best and my personal guitar hero...

Another from the Michelle Archives

from one of my favorite artists...Chris Isaak.....from 1995 and its........"Somebody's Crying"

This song is one of Chris's more popular songs and for good reason. It has Isaak's signature feel to it that include some higher notes along with smooth guitar work and a great beat. Once again, it feels like a happy song when you listen to the music, but they lyrics are just heart-breaking. A classic Chris Isaak track that gets to me every time...

From his fifth album, "Forever Blue". The song was released as the album's first single in May 1995.   It also appears on his 2006 Best of Chris Isaak compilation. A live version is included on Isaak's 2008 Live in Australia album.

Isaak wrote the song shortly after a breakup with his girlfriend.  Isaak had attended a friend's party, but soon realized that he did not want to be there.   He went inside a walk-in closet, closed the door, grabbed a guitar that was leaning against the back wall, and wrote "Somebody's Crying."

Lyrically, the song describes one's yearning for a former lover, and the fear of communicating again with that person.  In a 1995 interview, Isaak compared the lyrics to a way children often speak in his following words:

"Most of us are as terrified of love as little kids are terrified of the world. Little kids come up to you and say, "I know someone who loves you" or "I know someone who likes you." They say it like, I'm not going to really come out and say it. And for adults, it's probably the same way. They never really get beyond that fear".

The music video for "Somebody's Crying" was released in 1995 and was directed by Bill Pope.   In contrast to the song's melancholy lyrical content, the video presents a more upbeat story of a summer romance, and features Isaak riding a surfboard, a favorite pastime of his.  Isaak said, "I thought it would be more fun to do. More and more I'm trying to keep a little bit of fun in what I'm doing."   Actors Jennifer Rubin, Jenna Elfman, Zen Gesner, and the late Chris Penn appear in the video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWqjBWb6lX4

The video received a 1995 MTV Video Music Award nomination for Best Male Video, but lost to Tom Petty's "You Don't Know How It Feels"

So here we go!!....from 1995....its the great Chris Isaak....and...."Somebody's Crying"

As everyone knows.....I love Justin Timberlake....

This is one of my favorites by him and very recent....it is one that moves me like no other.....its "Mirrors"......its from this 2013 album..."20/20 Experience"

The song was released on February 11, 2013 as the album's second single, following his performance at the 2013 Grammy Awards.  "Mirrors" lyrics discuss a lover's "other half" after having taken a break in their relationship. The song received generally positive reviews from music critics, who complimented its production and lyrical content. It debuted at 26 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and later became a Top 5 hit, peaking at number 2 and at number one in the United Kingdom and within the top ten in several countries internationally.

Some sources say the inspiration for "Mirrors" was JT's wife....the gorgeous Jessica Biel........the song is very clearly a loving ode to his recent bride Jessica Biel, down to an extended outro repeatedly proclaiming “You are, you are / The love of my life” and JT explaining “You’re the inspiration for this precious song.”  But another authority on the matter or romance—Jerry Seinfeld, or the fictional version of himself he played on his eponymous sitcom—had another discovery about romance, at least briefly, after falling in love with a woman who shares a virtually identical personality to himself, down to sharing the same initials. “Now I know what I’ve been looking for all these years—myself!” he rhapsodizes to Kramer after their first encounter. “I’ve been waiting for me to come along, and now I’ve swept myself off my feet!”

Perhaps most tellingly—and perhaps somewhat ironically—having his love as his mirror allows JT to change and become a better man, Timberlake singing “I can’t ever change without you” and later “So now I say goodbye to the old me, it’s already gone.” Having a mirror put up to himself allows JT to see his imperfections, and gives him reason to want to change them.

In the end, it’s actually a very sweet and thoughtful love song, and one that even a famous person like Biel would probably be flattered to have written about them. And hell, not even Seinfeld viewed the notion of finding love through your exact replica as a sustainable formula—by the end of the episode, Jerry turns against his female equivalent, realizing “I can’t be with someone like me.. I hate myself!! If anything, I need to get the exact opposite of me!”

If Biel is the inspiration.....that is probably more than enough inspiration for anyone...

So here we go...its new for 2013......give it a listen...I promise you'll like it.....

Soooo here we go...its JT.....the great JT....and......"Mirrors"...........enjoy....I know I will :)

This tune rocks and so do da Boys...

Los Lonely Boys is an American Chicano rock power trio from San Angelo, Texas. They play a style of music they call "Texican Rock n' Roll," combining elements of rock and roll, Texas blues, brown eyed soul, country, and Tejano.

The band consists of three brothers: Henry (guitar, vocals), Jojo (bass, vocals), and Ringo (drums, vocals) Garza. They follow the tradition of their father, Ringo Garza, Sr., who formed a band with his brothers called the Falcones. The Falcones played conjunto music in southern Texas during the 1970s and 1980s. To date, Los Lonely Boys have released three studio albums and a live album, all on the Epic Records label. Their debut single, "Heaven," was a number one hit on the Billboard adult contemporary chart and reached the Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2004.

The group's first single, "Heaven", reached No. 1 on the Adult Contemporary chart, and No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100, also crossing over even to the Hot Country Songs chart, where it peaked at No. 46. "Heaven" was featured in Guitar Hero: On Tour. In 2005 the song won a Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. Other songs nominated for Grammys include "More Than Love" and "Onda," both in 2006.

The song was released on February 11, 2013 as the album's second single, following his performance at the 2013 Grammy Awards.  "Mirrors" lyrics discuss a lover's "other half" after having taken a break in their relationship. The song received generally positive reviews from music critics, who complimented its production and lyrical content. It debuted at 26 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and later became a Top 5 hit, peaking at number 2 and at number one in the United Kingdom and within the top ten in several countries internationally.

Some sources say the inspiration for "Mirrors" was JT's wife....the gorgeous Jessica Biel........the song is very clearly a loving ode to his recent bride Jessica Biel, down to an extended outro repeatedly proclaiming “You are, you are / The love of my life” and JT explaining “You’re the inspiration for this precious song.”  But another authority on the matter or romance—Jerry Seinfeld, or the fictional version of himself he played on his eponymous sitcom—had another discovery about romance, at least briefly, after falling in love with a woman who shares a virtually identical personality to himself, down to sharing the same initials. “Now I know what I’ve been looking for all these years—myself!” he rhapsodizes to Kramer after their first encounter. “I’ve been waiting for me to come along, and now I’ve swept myself off my feet!”

Perhaps most tellingly—and perhaps somewhat ironically—having his love as his mirror allows JT to change and become a better man, Timberlake singing “I can’t ever change without you” and later “So now I say goodbye to the old me, it’s already gone.” Having a mirror put up to himself allows JT to see his imperfections, and gives him reason to want to change them.

In the end, it’s actually a very sweet and thoughtful love song, and one that even a famous person like Biel would probably be flattered to have written about them. And hell, not even Seinfeld viewed the notion of finding love through your exact replica as a sustainable formula—by the end of the episode, Jerry turns against his female equivalent, realizing “I can’t be with someone like me.. I hate myself!! If anything, I need to get the exact opposite of me!”

If Biel is the inspiration.....that is probably more than enough inspiration for anyone...

So here we go...its new for 2013......give it a listen...I promise you'll like it.....

Soooo here we go...its JT.....the great JT....and......"Mirrors"...........enjoy....I know I will :)

The video is from the 2013 BRIT awards

This is for Ewa......and she knows why....so while she's gone.....she's always with me :)

I have to say I really love Justin Timberlake and I'm not afraid to say so. His music is influenced by a lot of the music I enjoyed growing up. The lyrics for this song are just way superior to a lot of the pop hits out there.  I've always been a lyric guy and I love intelligent, thoughtful lyrics.


Of course, that being said, I'm a silly kinda guy. So to mix things up here's a cover of one of my favorite Guns n Roses songs by Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine.  Nick the Lounge Singer would be proud.

"Angels In Everything" by Blue October

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iti-m78Uly8

This song became very very special for me on Friday night. Grant was playing it when he asked me a question. I think you can guess my answer.  :)

hugggzzz 'n xoxo

~Laurie~


I've sat at the back of the line for years,
Wishing the world wouldn't spin,
I give in, alone again it appears.
There were pieces of me that lived in corners on a hard wood floor.
Until an Angel walked in through my door.

Time stopped, the arch of her back grew wings.
And pulling me further from a devil to a heaven, she said "Believe."
True peace as she looked into my soul.
She said "I'm here to show you faith, and to help you when you fall."

Can you feel my heart,
Beating underneath these stars?
You're the Angel that came, and took these clouds away.
You made me believe!
Never be weak, be strong.
Live every moment like an Angel
Flies...

I'll whisper in your ear,
You are mine, and you will never have to be alone.
And when I pull you near,
You'll know I love you like I never loved anyone.
So let me be the one to lift you up,
I'll carry you home.
'Cause now I'm here to keep you safe,
And to catch you when you fall.
 
Can you feel my heart,
Beating underneath these stars?
You're the Angel that came, and took these clouds away.
You made me believe!
Never be weak, be strong.
Live every moment like an Angel
Flies.

Only you can see the true me,
Through all the right, and wrong.
Take hold, the best has yet to come.
Yeah
You've given me the strength to believe in my heart again!
And now we're here to share this faith.
Stand together through it all.

Can you feel my heart,
Beating underneath these stars?
You're the Angel that came, and took these clouds away.
You made me believe!
Never be weak, be strong.
Live every moment like an Angel
Flies...

Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh.

That's who you are!
You're the Angel that came, and took these clouds away.
You made me believe!
Never be weak, be strong.
So really strong!

That's who you are,
You're the Angel that came,
And took these clouds away...

Of all the 50's stars, I think Buddy was the one who would have been most likely to have successfully made the transition from early rock and roll to the more complex sounds that developed in the 60's and beyond. His songwriting seemed simple but was deceptively sophisticated, and of all his peers he was the one who really understood the potential of studio recording techniques. His death was one of the true tragedies in the history of recorded popular music.

Holly was that bridge from the 50's to the 60's I think...or at least one of them...

He was that bridge we often look for...between Elvis...and the Beatles.....

He gave us the beginnings of modern Rock and Roll.....and showed what performing really was all about..

For Holly.....I wonder if happiness was truly seeing Lubbock in his rear view mirror?  He never seemed to lose his roots..

He's greatly missed...

Another from the Michelle Archives.....and one that was maybe the hardest to write about...

Its a Madonna song....and I will be the first to say I am not a big Madonna fan...but this one....has always been special to me...and its one she is not well known for although it was her longest running #1 hit.  Its one I first heard at the end of a previous personal relationship long ago....and I was about to begin another.

Its called...."Take a Bow"......and its from 1995....and its beautiful.  I thought about it this weekend when earlier in this thread...Laurie Breeze...announced she had said....."Yes"...to a significant other in her life.  I was so happy..as I told her...because I was ending a long relationship in my own life...and to see someone begin one...lessened the pain...especially for someone I have liked and respected from afar.

"Take a Bow" is from Madonna's sixth studio album "Bedtime Stories". Released as the second single from Bedtime Stories in December 6, 1994, the song appears on her compilation albums "Something to Remember" (1995), GHV2 (2001) and Celebration (2009). It was written and produced by Madonna and R&B singer-songwriter Babyface and became her longest-running number-one hit in the United States. It was her first single to reach number-one in the United States after "This Used to Be My Playground" (1992), and it was her last number-one song in the United States in the 1990s.

The music video for "Take a Bow" was directed by Michael Haussman in Ronda and the bullring of Antequera, Spain. The plot sees Madonna as a bullfighter's neglected lover, played by real-life Spanish bullfighter Emilio Muñoz, yearning for his presence. The video won Best Female Video honors at the 1995 MTV Video Music Awards. Madonna performed "Take a Bow" live with Babyface at the 1995 American Music Awards and at the 1995 San Remo Festival in Italy.

After Rihanna hit number 1 on the Hot 100 in 2008 with her own unrelated song titled "Take a Bow", the two songs became one of the rare pairs of songs with the same title to both hit number 1.

Lyrics

Take a bow, the night is over
This masquerade is getting older
Light are low, the curtains down
There's no one here
(There's no one here, there's no one in the crowd)
Say your lines but do you feel them
Do you mean what you say when there's no one around (no one around)
Watching you, watching me, one lonely star
(One lonely star you don't know who you are)

I've always been in love with you (always with you)
I guess you've always known it's true (you know it's true)
You took my love for granted, why oh why
The show is over, say good-bye

Say good-bye (bye bye), say good-bye

Make them laugh, it comes so easy
When you get to the part
Where you're breaking my heart (breaking my heart)
Hide behind your smile, all the world loves a clown
(Just make 'em smile the whole world loves a clown)
Wish you well, I cannot stay
You deserve an award for the role that you played (role that you played)
No more masquerade, you're one lonely star
(One lonely star and you don't know who you are)

Say good-bye (bye bye), say good-bye

All the world is a stage (world is a stage)
And everyone has their part (has their part)
But how was I to know which way the story'd go
How was I to know you'd break
(You'd break, you'd break, you'd break)
You'd break my heart

I've always been in love with you
(I've always been in love with you)
Guess you've always known its true
You took my love for granted, why oh why
The show is over, say good-bye

Say good-bye (bye bye), say good-bye
Say good-bye

There is an extended version I highly recommend too but the one above is the original :)

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

So here we go....from 1995.....and ...Madonna.....its......."Take A Bow"

Its hard to turn your back on 11 years....but its also fun to see another door open for someone......congratulations again Laurie.....take a Bow...the show is just beginning for you :).  As for me.....I can only try and turn a page and keep trying to be that girl I have always wanted to become.....as the song says....."The Show is Over...Take a Bow"........and simply say...."The Show Is Over......Good Bye".........

A replay from the Michelle Archives......and maybe one of my favorites.....and always will be

It's from Crosby, Stills and Nash....and it was my late father's favorite song........""Southern Cross"........

"Southern Cross" is a song written by Stephen Stills and performed by the rock band Crosby, Stills & Nash. It was released in 1982 on the band's Daylight Again album. Stephen Stills sings lead vocals throughout, with Graham Nash joining the final verse.

The song, which peaked at #18, is about a man who sails the world following a failed love affair. During the voyage, the singer takes comfort in sailing ("We got eighty feet of waterline. / Nicely making way."), in the beauty of the sea, and particularly in the Southern Cross, a constellation by which sailors in the Southern Hemisphere have traditionally navigated. But his final consolation is music ("I have my ship / And all her flags are a flyin' / She is all that I have left / And music is her name.").

Southern Cross is based on the song "Seven League Boots" by Rick and Michael Curtis. Stills explained, "The Curtis Brothers brought a wonderful song called 'Seven League Boots,' but it drifted around too much. I rewrote a new set of words and added a different chorus, a story about a long boat trip I took after my divorce. It's about using the power of the universe to heal your wounds. Once again, I was given somebody's gem and cut and polished it.

When I was a little girl my father would take me sailing on Lake Merced by San Francisco..and often out into the Bay...
The name of his boat was.....the.... "Southern Cross"....he would often let me steer the boat as he ran the sails.....those Sunday afternoons were some of the brightest of my young life....as I'd often almost tip the boat over at times....but never once would he get mad or upset...in fact...he seemed to get a kick out it......I was Captain Michelle....and he was First Mate Rance Miles...and no daughter ever felt more loved and wanted.  I'll cherish those moments the rest of my life :)


"Southern Cross"

Oooh ...

Got out of town on a boat goin' to Southern islands
Sailing a reach before a followin' sea
She was makin' for the trades on the outside
And the downhill run to Papeete

Off the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas
We got eighty feet of the waterline nicely making way
In a noisy bar in Avalon I tried to call you
But on a midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away

Think about
Think about how many times I have fallen
Spirits are using me larger voices callin'
What Heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten

(Around the world) I have been around the world
(Lookin') Lookin' for that woman girl
(Who knows she knows) Who knows love can endure
And you know it will

When you see the Southern Cross for the first time
You understand now why you came this way
'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from is so small
But it's as big as the promise, the promise of a comin' day

So I'm sailing for tomorrow my dreams are a dyin'
And my love is an anchor tied to you tied with a silver chain
I have my ship and all her flags are a' flyin'
She is all that I have left and music is her name

Think about
Think about how many times I have fallen
Spirits are using me larger voices callin'
What Heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten

(I've been around the world) I have been around the world
(Lookin') Lookin' for that woman girl
Who knows love can endure
And you know it will, and you know it will yes

Oooh ...

So we cheated and we lied and we tested
And we never failed to fail it was the easiest thing to do
You will survive being bested
Somebody fine will come along make me forget about loving you
At the southern cross


So here we go....from 1982.....and one of the most beautiful songs you'll ever hear....from Crosby, Stills and Nash...

Its......."Southern Cross"....

Another from the Michelle Archives

This is from one of the more prolific and lasting singing duos in I think....music history....

It's from Hall and Oates and 1982.....and its called....."Kiss on My List".....

It's one I have always loved as it really stands the test of time well....as most of the songs from Hall and Oates do...and few singers have the vocal range that Daryl Hall does....he is simply...awesome..

Daryl Hall & John Oates is an American musical duo composed of Daryl Hall and John Oates who achieved their greatest fame in the late 1970s and early to mid-1980s with a fusion of rock and roll and rhythm and blues styles, which they dubbed "rock and soul.  Critics Stephen Thomas Erlewine and J. Scott McClintock write,  "at their best, Hall & Oates' songs were filled with strong hooks and melodies that adhered to soul traditions without being a slave to them by incorporating elements of new wave."  While much of the duo's reputation is due to its sustained pop-chart run in the 1980s, they continue to record and tour, and remain respected by various artists for their ability to cross stylistic boundaries.

They are best known for their six No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100: "Rich Girl", "Kiss on My List", "Private Eyes", "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)", "Maneater", and "Out of Touch", as well as many other songs which charted in the Top 40. In total, the act had 34 singles chart hits on the US Billboard Hot 100, seven RIAA platinum albums, and six RIAA gold albums. Because of that chart success, Billboard magazine named them the most successful duo of the rock era, surpassing The Everly Brothers.

"Kiss on My List" is a 1981 song recorded by Daryl Hall and John Oates. It was written by Janna Allen and Daryl Hall, and produced by Hall and Oates. It was the third single from their album "Voices", and became their second Billboard Hot 100 number-one single (after "Rich Girl" in 1977).

While two other songs from the album had returned the duo to chart activity, it was the success of "Kiss on My List" that confirmed the start of the duo's sustained run as one of American pop's top-selling acts, a run that lasted into 1989.  According to Daryl Hall, Eddie Van Halen copied the synth part of this song and used it for the song "Jump" by Van Halen

"Kiss on My List" can be heard in the films "She's Out of My League" and "You Again".
The song is a popular track for use during "Kiss cams" at stadiums and arenas.

So here we go......from 1982....and the great....... Hall and Oates......its....."Kiss on My List"......

Another replay from the Michelle Archives....

It's from my favorite singer.....Chris Isaak......and its his 1986 great hit...."Blue Hotel"

Chris Isaak began his career when he signed a contract to Warner Bros. Records in 1984 for his first album, Silvertone.  Two tracks from this album, "Gone Ridin'" and "Livin' for Your Lover", were featured in David Lynch's cult classic Blue Velvet. Isaak's second self-titled album, "Chris Isaak", was photographed by fashion photographer Bruce Weber. Isaak's contract was renewed in 1988 when Warner Bros. moved him to their Reprise Records label

Chris Isaak's best known song is "Wicked Game".  Though released on the 1989 album Heart Shaped World, an instrumental version of the song was later featured in the 1990 David Lynch film Wild at Heart.  Lee Chesnut, an Atlanta radio station music director who was obsessed with Lynch films, began playing the vocal version and it quickly became the station's most-requested song. Chesnut spread the word to other radio stations around the country and the single became a national Top 10 hit in February 1991. The music video for the song was directed by Herb Ritts and was a big MTV and VH1 hit; shot in black and white, it starred Isaak and Danish-Peruvian supermodel Helena Christensen rolling on the beach, embracing and whispering in each other's ears. Another less-seen version of "Wicked Game" is directed by David Lynch and comprises scenes from the film Wild at Heart. "Wicked Game" also featured as the backing music in the 2001 TV advert for the Jaguar X-Type range of cars in the UK. In 1995, Isaak split with longtime guitarist James Calvin Wilsey. That year's Forever Blue album and the accompanying tour featured Hershel Yatovitz on guitar.

"Blue Hotel" is a highly popular song on Isaak's second album album..."Chris Isaak".....and is best known for its wonderful guitar work...featuring Herchel Yatovitz....one of my main "Guitar Heroes".....I learned to play the guitar primarily using "Blue Hotel" and a few others as my learning pieces once I got the basics down.

I have been lucky enough to jam with a few jazz bands at times lately.......usually at the "Birdland Jazz Club" in NYC on Saturday nights....my life long dream :)  Well...not quite...my true lifelong dream is to jam with Chris isaak and the boys and sit by Herchel and play guitar with him...then I can die and go to Heaven....I hope :)

Sooooo!.....here we go!....from 1986......its my man Chris Isaak.......and...."Blue Hotel"......

It's no secret I LOVE CHRIS ISAAK!!

And here is another from my man...the great.....Chris Isaak.....and its....."Don't Make Me Dream About You"

I love this song.....and the band really gets to rock in this one....which I love as Chris's band is totally the best....

It's about a love that has gotten a little uppity....and if she doesn't watch it.....she'll be gone...

This song is from the fantastic "Heart Shaped World" album and is the third album by Chris Isaak. Released in 1989, it became his breakthrough album and featured the Top 10 hit "Wicked Game". The album was certified 3x Platinum by the RIAA and has to date sold over 4.0 million copies in the United States according to Nielsen Soundscan.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfLAm1h_kw8&list=PLC138D83D592C8E6E

"Don't Make Me Dream About You"

Don't make me dream about you, don't make me dream about you.
Don't make me dream about you, don't make me dream about you.

I dream in daytime and night time, I dream of love or romance.
It won't be nice if they catch me, But I can live with the chance.
Because I love you, because I want you.
I will win your love for me, yeah I will win your love for me.

Looked so sweet when I meet you, now your acting so bold.
Feels so hot when I kiss you, and now you come on cold.
And I still love you, I still want you.
And I will win your love for me, yeah I will win your love for me.

No, no, no.

Don't make me dream about you, don't make me dream about you.
Don't make me dream about you, don't make me dream about you.

Took a chance when I meet you, I should of known I would loose.
I know it's wrong I should leave you, you make it so hard to choose.
And I still love you, I still want you.
And I will win your love for me, yeah I will win your love for me.

No, no, no.

Don't make me dream about you, don't make me dream about you.
Don't make me dream about you, don't make me dream about you.
Don't make me dream, don't make me dream.

From the great Chris Isaak......its......"Speak of the Devil"........one of his top 5 songs in my opinion...

This....and "Don't Make Me Dream About You".....we played at the jazz club last night.....(I LOVE .."Don't Make Me Dream ABout You"...there is NO better song to dance to with someone you love...it is almost my absolute favorite)

"Speak of the Devil" is a single from the Album "Speak of the Devil" by Chris Isaak. It was released in 1998 on Warner Bros. Records.  "Speak of the Devil" is another classic Chris Isaak song in which the rhythm of the song is upbeat and you want to dance to it, yet the lyrics are so sad. This song however also has a lot more guitar work on it along with a great solo. This is one of the few songs where the band really gets a chance to rock out and we get to see how good Rowland Salley and Herchel Yatovitz are on guitar....and trust me...they are the real..."Guitar Heros".  They are my guys!

Sooo here we go....its from 1998......and the great Chris Isaak and the boys......its....."Speak of the Devil"

"Speak Of The Devil"

Speak of the devil.
The devil appears.
Waiting for some one.
Been waiting for years.
And it's alright now.
Yeah I'm alright now.

Watching her walking.
Like watching a flame.
Trying to forget her.
Don't mention her name.
And I'm alright now.
Yeah I'm alright now.

Lonely days without her.
Nights that would not end.
As long as I don't think about her.
I can still pretend.
..it's alright.

Speak of the devil.
The devil appears.
Been waiting for some one.
Lonely for years.
But I'm alright now
Yeah I'm alright now.
..it's alright.
..it's alright.

Speak of the devil.


Also...great music video with "Speak of the Devil".....awesome work by Chris as always...

And its one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard....its from 1988 and its by Madonna....its......."La Isla Bonita"....

"La Isla Bonita" (English: The Beautiful Island) is a song by American singer-songwriter Madonna and was released as the fifth and final single from her third studio album, "True Blue", on February 25, 1987, by Sire Records. The instrumental version of the song was first offered to Michael Jackson before Madonna both accepted it and wrote the lyrics and melody. "La Isla Bonita" is noted for being the first Madonna song to have a Spanish influence in it, with arrangements of Cuban drums and Spanish guitar, maracas, harmonicas and a mix of synthesized and real drumming. The lyrics of the song tell about a beautiful island and was a tribute to the beauty of the Latin people according to Madonna.

"La Isla Bonita" achieved worldwide popularity, topping charts in countries such as Austria, Canada, France, Germany and Switzerland. It became Madonna's fourth number-one single in the United Kingdom, giving her a record for most number-one singles among female artists. In the United States, it reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

In the accompanying music video, Madonna portrayed two opposite characters – a pious girl and a passionate Latina. The Latin style and the flamenco red dress she wore became a trend later. The song is one of the most performed live songs by Madonna, appearing in five of her world tours including 2008–09's Sticky & Sweet Tour. Madonna has regularly performed the song in its Spanish form, sometimes with tribal or folk songs and remixes to accompany it. The song has been covered by a number of artists including Mexican recording artist Byanka (1988) and French recording artist Alizée for her album Psychédélices (2008).

Como puede ser verdad
Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
Just like I'd never gone, I knew the song
A young girl with eyes like the desert
It all seems like yesterday, not far away

Tropical the island breeze
All of nature, wild and free
This is where I long to be
La isla bonita
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring trough my ears and sting my eyes
Your Spanish lullaby

I fell in love with San Pedro
Warm wind carried on the sea, he called to me
Te diso te amo
I prayed that the days would last, they went so fast

Tropical the island breeze
All of nature, wild and free
This is where I long to be
La isla bonita
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring trough my ears and sting my eyes
Your Spanish lullaby

I want to be where the sun warms the sky
When it's time for siesta you can watch them go by
Beautiful faces, no cares in this world
Where girl loves a boy and a boy loves a girl

Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
It all seems like yesterday, not far away

Tropical the island breeze
All of nature, wild and free
This is where I long to be
La isla bonita
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring trough my ears and sting my eyes
Your Spanish lullaby

Tropical the island breeze
All of nature, wild and free
This is where I long to be
La isla bonita
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring trough my ears and sting my eyes
Your Spanish lullaby

Tropical the island breeze
All of nature, wild and free
This is where I long to be
La isla bonita
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring trough my ears and sting my eyes
Your Spanish lullaby

This is also one of my tango songs......and I love it.....how one can't....well....makes little sense to me :)

So here we go!.....and don't you dare spin that dial!...from 1988.....its Madonna......and the beautiful........"La Isla Bonita"........

This is for all of us who so wish we could be on that beautiful far away island....and here's hoping you make it ...with all my heart...

I pray I do......

Enjoy :)

Its a great song by one of my favorite artists....Rob Thomas.........its from 2005......and its......"Lonely No More"...

Thomas...as you may recall..was formerly the lead singer for the great group.....Matchbox Twenty...

"Lonely No More" was released in February 2005 as the first single from Rob Thomas's debut album, …Something to Be. It became his second big solo hit (after "Smooth", on which he was actually a featured artist) and his biggest solo hit to date. The song peaked inside the Top 10 at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at #11 in the UK.

The single was written by Thomas and produced by Matt Serletic. Although he had guest starred on Santana's "Smooth" years before this song, "Lonely No More" is notable for being the proper solo debut single of Thomas. Unlike the singles he had released in Matchbox Twenty, "Lonely No More" deviates by not containing a rock sound, and instead on focusing on a more pop like feel. Starting over a series of chordless industrial rhythmic beats, Thomas explains to a prospective romantic interest over a Latin beat why he is not exactly comfortable heading into a relationship with her at the moment. Although she seems to know what to say to him, he points out that words are only words. She needs to show him something else, or even swear allegiance to reassure his insecurities. To explain exactly how hurt he has been in previous relationships, Thomas belts, "I don't wanna be lonely no more/I don't wanna have to pay for this/I don't want to know the lover at my door/Is just another heartache on my list". The song was nominated for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance at the 2006 Grammys.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7spBU4Yv8fE

The chorus says it all for me:

I don't wanna be lonely no more
I don't wanna have to pay for this
I don't want to know the lover at my door
Is just another heartache on my list

I don't wanna be angry no more
You know I could never stand for this
So when you tell me that you love me know for sure
I don't want to be lonely anymore

Sooo here we go!....and don't you dare spin that dial!......its Rob Thomas....from 2005....and..."Lonely No More".....

This one's for Mac.....be happy baby :)

From the Michelle Archives.....

Something a little different.....its a Spanish song from Ricky Iglesisas......with a contagious beat and a song that simply says......lets dance.....I love it!

its from 1999 ....and its........"Bailamos"

I suspect you've heard it...wondered what it was....who did it?.....

"Bailamos" (meaning 'We Dance') is a Latin pop song from singer Enrique Iglesias, sung in English and Spanish. It was the debut single of Iglesias in the English-language market, and attained immense success, reaching the No. 1 spot in the Billboard Hot 100.

"Bailamos" was written by Paul Barry and Mark Taylor and produced by Barry and Brian Rawling, the same team which wrote and produced Cher's hit "Believe". The track first appeared on a limited edition of his Spanish studio album Cosas del Amor and was released as a single in parts of Latin America and Europe. After attending one of Enrique's concerts in March 1999, Will Smith asked Enrique to contribute to the soundtrack of his upcoming movie Wild Wild West and Bailamos was chosen to appear.   The song quickly became most requested on pop radio in New York, Los Angeles and Miami. Due to the song's popularity, it was released as a single throughout the world. In English, Bailamos means "We Dance" (We Are Dancing), or in this case, "Let's Dance". In the United States, the song was seen as part of a wave of crossover music from Latin American singers and a general increase in interest in Latin music, which was started by Ricky Martin's release "Livin' La Vida Loca". The single reached number one on the US pop charts, making it Iglesias' first chart topper on Billboard's Hot 100. The Latin song "Smooth" by Carlos Santana released at the end of the year was one of the most successful songs in chart history. Its immense success could, to some extent, be credited to "Bailamos"' and other Latin pop songs during the era. The success of "Bailamos" was a breakthrough for Iglesias, which enabled him to sign a multi-album deal with Interscope. The song would go on to appear on his debut English album Enrique, though slightly altered to fit with the sound of the album. The soundtrack version has a different arrangement in mix from the Album Version.

As I love dancing...especially the tango...I simply love this song...and the beat.....its awesome.......

Soo here we go!.......and don't you dare touch that dial!.......its from 1999.........from Ricky Iglesias........its....."Bailamos"

Its a little different but I love it...maybe more dance music than anything although I think the beat is fantastic......and the lyrics are very special to me...in so many ways......

Its from an artist many of you have never heard of.....Armin van Buuren.....its recent....2013....and the song is..."Won't Let You Go"....

Armin van Buuren is a Dutch trance music producer and DJ. He is known for mostly playing progressive trance and uplifting trance. He has won a number of accolades, including DJ Magazine's Top 100 DJs fan poll a record of 5 times, including an unprecedented four consecutive years 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and again in 2012.  He is currently the #1 DJ atop DJ Magazine's Top 100 DJ poll. Since 2001, van Buuren has hosted a weekly radio show called A State of Trance, which has 20 million weekly listeners in 26 countries.  This radio show propelled him to superstardom and garnered an intense following of trance fans around the world. His 2008 studio album, Imagine, entered the Dutch album chart at No. 1, a first for a dance music artist in Dutch music history.

On 2 March 2013, Van Buuren announced that his fifth studio album, Intense, was due to be released on 3 May 2013. The first single of the album, "This Is What It Feels Like", featuring Canadian singer-songwriter Trevor Guthrie, released on the 5th of April.  The song above..."Won't Let You Go"...is also a mainstay of this new album.  ”Intense" embraces more genres than any of my other albums, crossing over from progressive and trance to classic, even rock.

From Armin himself: "Being a perfectionist, some of these tracks have taken me months to finish. Incorporating as many real instruments as possible, it includes a live orchestra, as well as the rock band of my brother Eller. It’s been an honour to work with such talented artists, singers and songwriters, they’ve really inspired me. It’s been an ‘intense’ 3 years in the making, but I’m very pleased with the result.”

The lyrics are truly priceless...

"Won't Let You Go"
(featuring Aruna)

In too deep
And overloading
And it’s hard to breathe
When you’re still hoping

Nothing lasts forever
This is all we get
now we’re holding on together
Hanging by a thread

I wont let you go
so don’t look down
I won’t let you go
‘Till we turn it all around
There’s nothing to break my fall
But I won’t stop trying
‘Cause I still believe in God, in love, in you and I
In you and I
I believe in you and I

I wont let you go
so don’t look down
I won’t let you go
‘Till we turn it all around
There’s nothing to break my fall
But I won’t stop trying
‘Cause I still believe in God, in love, in you and I
In you and I
I believe in you and I

Another from the Michelle Archives.....and my very favorite song of all time....that's right.....you've wanted to know....this is it :)

It's from Madonna.....and its called....."Live To Tell"....

"Live to Tell" is a pop ballad by American singer-songwriter Madonna. Originally written by Patrick Leonard for the soundtrack of the film "Fire with Fire", the song was shown to Madonna, who decided to use it for then-husband Sean Penn's film "At Close Range". It was produced by Leonard and Madonna for her third studio album "True Blue", released in mid-1986, later appearing as a remix on the 1990 compilation album "The Immaculate Collection", in its original form on the 1995 ballads compilation album "Something to Remember", and most recently on her third compilation album "Celebration" (again in its original form), released in September 2009.

The song includes instrumentation from guitars, keyboards, drums and a synthesizer, and its lyrics deal with deceit, mistrust and childhood scars. It is also about being strong, which Madonna recalled in an interview that she thought about her relationship with her parents, while writing the lyrics. The music video, directed by James Foley, shows Madonna's first image makeover, featuring her with a cleaner look, shoulder-length wavy golden blond hair, conservative wardrobe and subtle make-up. This toned down blond appearance was again inspired by Marilyn Monroe.

Released as the album's first single in March 1986, the song was a commercial success. It became Madonna's third number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100, and her first number-one on the Adult Contemporary chart. It was generally well received by music critics, who frequently referred to it as the best ballad of her career. The song faced controversy when Madonna performed it on her 2006 Confessions Tour wearing a crown of Thorns while hanging on a giant mirrored cross. The performance at Rome's Olympic Stadium was condemned as an act of hostility toward the Roman Catholic Church by religious leaders.

This has been called her greatest ballad song......and the lyrics are priceless....

"Live To Tell"
I have a tale to tell
Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well
I was not ready for the fall
Too blind to see the writing on the wall

A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned, 'till then
It will burn inside of me

I know where beauty lives
I've seen it once, I know the warmth she gives
The light that you could never see
It shines inside, you can't take that from me

A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned, 'till then
It will burn inside of me

The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell
The secret I knew then
Will I ever have the chance again?

"If I ran away, I'd never have the strength to go very far
How would they hear the beating of my heart
Will it grow cold, the secret that I hide? Will I grow old?
How will they hear, when will they learn, how will they know?"

A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned, 'till then
It will burn inside of me

The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell
The secret I knew then
Will I ever have the chance again?

A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned, 'till then
It will burn inside of me

Soooo hee we go.....and don't you dare touch that dial.....Its Madonna......from 1986......its...."Live To Tell"

"If I ran away, I'd never have the strength to go very far
How would they hear the beating of my heart

This is for those of us who can never run away.......

Another from the Michelle Archives......a super fun song from a great artist.....Linda Rondstadt

Its from 1976.......and its called....."Poor Poor Pitiful Me"

"Poor Poor Pitiful Me" is a rock song written by Warren Zevon. It is best known as one of Linda Ronstadt's signature hits. It first appeared on Zevon's eponymous 1976 album Warren Zevon with backing vocals by Lindsey Buckingham. It was included on his greatest hits compilations "A Quiet Normal Life" (1986), "I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead" (1996), and "Genius: The Best of Warren Zevon" (2002). Live versions later appeared on 1980’s Stand in the Fire and 1993’s Learning to Flinch. Alternate studio versions were included in the 2008 reissue of Warren Zevon, as well as the posthumous 2007 compilation Preludes: Rare and Unreleased Recordings.

In keeping with Zevon's sardonic lyrical style, the song's verses deal with a failed suicide, domestic abuse, and a brush with sadomasochism. The song appeared first on Zevon's 1976 self-titled solo album. It is reputed to be a friendly swipe at Jackson Browne, whose songs (such as "Here Come Those Tears Again" and "Sleeps Dark and Silent Gate" from The Pretender) could be quite dark.

Above all else it takes advantage of Linda Rondstadt's melodic voice and great range......this was back at her height...its pure fun :)

For those of us who are just having one of those days....and we feel so pitiful......here's hoping we can look at ourselves....laugh....and just go kick life in the ass....:)

Well, I lay my head on the railroad track
Waiting on the double E
But the train don't run by here no more
Poor, poor pitiful me

Poor, poor pitiful me
Poor, poor pitiful me
Oh, these boys won't let me be
Lord, have mercy on me
Woe, woe is me

Well, I met a man out in Hollywood
Now I ain't naming names
Well he really worked me over good
Just like Jesse James

Yes, he really worked me over good
He was a credit to his gender
Put me through some changes, Lord
Sort of like a waring blender

Poor, poor pitiful me
Poor, poor pitiful me
Oh, these boys won't let me be
Lord, have mercy on me
Woe woe is me

Well, I met a boy in the Vieux Carres
Down in Yokohama
He picked me up and he threw me down
He said, "Please don't hurt me, mama"

Poor, poor pitiful me
Poor, poor pitiful me
Oh, these boys won't let me be
Lord, have mercy on me
Woe woe is me

Another from the Michelle Archives.....and its a bittersweet one because of the affection I hold for this artist...

It's by the great Linda Ronstadt.....and its her defining song.......called....."Your No Good"

Linda Ronstadt (born July 15, 1946) is simply.....the BEST!   She has earned 11 Grammy Awards, two Academy of Country Music awards, an Emmy Award, an ALMA Award and numerous United States and internationally certified gold, platinum and multiplatinum albums. She has also earned nominations for a Tony Award and a Golden Globe award.

Ronstadt has collaborated with artists from a diverse spectrum of genres including Billy Eckstine, Frank Zappa, Rosemary Clooney, Flaco Jiménez, Philip Glass, Carla Bley, The Chieftains, Emmylou Harris, Gram Parsons, Dolly Parton, Neil Young, Johnny Cash, and Nelson Riddle. She has lent her voice to over 120 albums.  Christopher Loudon of Jazz Times noted in 2004, Ronstadt is "Blessed with arguably the most sterling set of pipes of her generation ... rarest of rarities—a chameleon who can blend into any background yet remain boldly distinctive ... It's an exceptional gift; one shared by few others."

In total, she has released over 30 studio albums and 15 compilations or greatest hits albums. Ronstadt charted 38 Billboard Hot 100 singles, with 21 reaching the top 40, 10 in the top 10, three at #2 and "You're No Good" at #1. In the UK, her single "Blue Bayou" reached the UK Top 40 and the duet with Aaron Neville, "Don't Know Much", peaked at No. 2 in December 1989.  In addition, she has charted 36 albums, 10 top-10 albums and three #1 albums on the Billboard Pop Album Charts.

It was Linda Ronstadt who'd remake "You're No Good" for her Double Platinum career defining "Heart Like A Wheel" album released in late 1974 by Capitol Records; Ronstadt's version benefited from the contribution of Andrew Gold who provided virtually all the track's instrumentation, and string arrangements by Gregory Rose. Capitol was unsure whether to release "You're No Good" or "When Will I Be Loved" as the lead single off Heart Like a Wheel only deciding to release "You're No Good" a week after the album's release; the track ascended to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 dated 15 February 1975. ("When Will I Be Loved" would be issued as the follow-up single.)  The success of "You're No Good" set a precedent for Ronstadt's single releases which over the next five years would virtually all be remakes of classic rock and roll songs. (The B-side of "You're No Good": "I Can't Help It (If I'm Still in Love With You)" - originally by Hank Williams - was simultaneously a major C&W hit for Ronstadt at No. 2.) "You're No Good" was also a hit for Linda Ronstadt in Australia (No. 15), the Netherlands (No. 17) and New Zealand (No. 24).

In a 2011 interview with the Arizona Daily Star she said "I am 100 percent retired and I'm not doing anything any more".

I am very profoundly sad to say that as many of us know in December of 2012, Linda was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, which left her unable to sing.  It was announced publicly in August of 2013.  Linda is in my prayers and I hope all of yours....in the world of music.....a world so very important and special to me.....she is an icon......and a true legend

Its from 2005.....and Daniel Powter....and its......"Bad Day"......

You've heard it.....maybe in commercials...you wanted to hear it all.....well.....here is the whole thing.....

Lately....its been my theme song it would seem :)

Daniel Powter (born February 25, 1971) is a Canadian recording artist. He is best known for his hit song "Bad Day" (2005), which spent five weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100. Powter was the only solo artist to register a #1 hit in that year without previously having had another song chart in the Hot 100.

Powter's first single, "Bad Day", was first released in Europe in mid-2005, in advance of his second album, Daniel Powter. Warner Bros. Records submitted the single for commercials, and it was subsequently chosen by Coca-Cola as the theme song for an ad campaign in Europe. The song achieved heavy airplay in most European countries, peaking at number three on the overall European airplay chart. It reached number one on national airplay in Germany, number one on the singles charts in the Republic of Ireland and Italy, number two in the United Kingdom—where it stayed in the top ten for thirteen weeks—and number three in Australia.
In the United States, "Bad Day" was used extensively on the television series American Idol in its fifth season. Powter sang the song live at the end of the final show of that season on May 23, 2006. The song reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, Adult Top 40 and Adult Contemporary charts, making Powter the first solo Canadian male artist to top the Hot 100 since Bryan Adams in 1995 (with "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?"). The song also reached number one in Powter's homeland of Canada.

Here's one from the underrated Beach Boys album SURF'S UP, from 1971.  The song is called LONG PROMISED ROAD and was Carl Wilson's first major composition for the group.  Released twice as a single, the song still only barely managed to scrape into the charts, peaking at #89 in the US and not making any European charts at all.  The group at this time were trapped into the unenviable position of having become 'uncool' and having that image cemented by an enormous string of surf/car/girl/beach type hits.  However, even in their earliest days there was a deeper, introspective side to the band that had come to full fruition by thie time this album was issued.  Aside from this single, other excellent tracks from the album include TIL I DIE, FEEL FLOWS and the magnificent SURF'S UP.  They were also among the earliest rock bands to publicly express environmental concerns, as demonstrated here by the opening track DON'T GO NEAR THE WATER.  (I mean, seriously, the freakin' BEACH BOYS telling you to stay away from the water??)

Anyway, this one is about continuing on in the face of adversity, and I kind of suspect it might well have been a significant hit if it had come from an unknown group at the time.  Here's LONG PROMISED ROAD:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmAqpRFGzRQ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmAqpRFGzRQ)


LONG PROMISED ROAD

So hard to answer future's riddle
When ahead is seeming so far behind
So hard to laugh a child-like giggle
When the tears start to torture my mind
So hard to shed the life of before
To let my soul automatically soar

But I hit hard at the battle that's confronting me, yeah
Knock down all the roadblocks stumbling me
Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down

Sew up the wounds of evolution
And the now starts to get in my way
So what if life's a revelation
If the mind speaks of only today
So real, the pain growing in my soul
Of climbing up to reality's goal

But I hit hard at the battle that's confronting me, yeah
Knock down all the roadblocks stumbling me
Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down

Long promised road
Trail starts at dawn
Carries on to the season's ending
Long promised road
Flows to the source, gentle force, never ending, never ending

So hard to lift the jeweled sceptre
When the weight turns a smile to a frown
So hard to drink of passion nectar
When the taste of life's holding me down
So hard to plant the seed of reform
To set my sights on defeating the storm

So I hit hard at the battle that's confronting me, yeah
Knock down all the roadblocks stumbling me
Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down

Oh, yeah----

Hit hard at the battle that's confronting me, yeah
Knock down all the roadblocks stumbling me
Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down

Oh, yeah----

Hit hard at the battle that's confronting me, yeah
Knock down all the roadblocks stumbling me
Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down

I'd love to see you
I'd love to see you
[repeat to fade]





Hope you like it!

Another from the Michelle Archives...

It's from 1993 and from my favorite guy...Chris Isaak......and its called....."Can't Do A Thing To Stop Me"

It's from the album..."San Francisco Days"...and it is another of those great songs in the Chris Isaak style.....
It's one I play when I'm out in the Bay in San Francisco......I'm sailing.....and all time stops....its beautiful......
And I'm wishing someone distant.....is so much closer to me at that moment...

San Francisco Days is the fourth album by Chris Isaak, released in 1993. The album was dedicated to the memory of Louie Beeson, who was the sound consultant.  The guitar work by the boys in the band is awesome as always...

The music video is typical Chris Isaak......sexy.......racy......and just right by me :)

"You Can't Do A Thing To Stop Me"

Here I go again, dreaming, here I go again
(Can't do a thing to stop me now)
(Can't do a thing to stop me now)

Having a good time baby, wish you were here
Thinking about you baby, it feels like you're near
And you can't do a thing, to stop me
(Can't do a thing to stop me now)
No you can't do a thing, to stop me
(Can't do a thing to stop me now)

Days can be lonely, nights dreams come true
Making love with somebody, exactly like you
And you can't do a thing, to stop me
(Can't do a thing to stop me now)
No you can't do a thing, to stop me
(Can't do a thing to stop me now)
Oh try

(Can't do a thing to stop me now)
Can't do a thing to stop me

Another from the Michelle Archives

Its from 2001....and its by an artist I really like.....Eminem......its called...."Stan"

While often controversial, Eminem is an artist who has helped change the face of rap and bring it more into the mainstream of music.  Rap often gets a bad "rap"...no pun intended and I personally love good rap....as I have always stated...I love good music...no matter the era...or the genre.

The song is perhaps Eminem's most critically acclaimed song and has been called a "cultural milestone"[14] and referred to as "Eminem's best song" by About.com.  Analyzing "Stan" in the Guardian newspaper, writer and literary critic Giles Foden compared Eminem to Robert Browning.

At the 2001 Grammy Awards, when he was facing all manner of criticism from the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation over his lyrics, Eminem responded by performing "Stan" with singer Elton John, who is openly gay, singing Dido's lines.   Many of the profanities were substituted, for example, "You're like his favorite idol" in line of "You're like his fucking idol," and "stuff" for "shit". Recordings of this performance were available for download on Eminem's official website Eminem.com and, later, on his 2005 greatest hits release "Curtain Call: The Hits".

"Stan" has been listed by many as one of the greatest hip-hop songs of all time. It was ranked #3 on a list of the greatest rap songs in history by Q magazine, and came 10th in a similar survey conducted by Top40-Charts.com.  Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time ranked it #290, one of Eminem's two songs on the list along with "Lose Yourself;" in the updated 2010 list, it was ranked at #296. It ranked #45 on About.com's Top 100 Rap Songs.

The MTV "clean" version of the song and video is extensively and exhaustively censored, with significant portions from the first two verses and most of the third verse removed. In the MTV full version, which is 8:15 long, verse 3 censors Stan mentioning his girlfriend in the trunk (so "Shut up bitch" and "screaming in the trunk" is censored), and about him not slitting her throat, but tied her up, and "If she suffocates, she'll suffer more, then she'll die too", which "slit", "tied her up", "suffocates" and "die" is censored.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMK2zLMkGuc  (MTV Clean Version - You can find the original with little effort)

Sooo here we go!....and don't you dare touch that dial!......its Eminem......and his greatest hit to date......"Stan".....

Enjoy :)

From the Michelle Archives...

And now for something a little different...I have declared this weekend my official "And now for something a little different" music weekend"...

To start......this one is from an artist many may not have heard of.....Enya....

It's from 2001...and its called......"Flora's Secret"......from the hugely successful album...."A Day Without Rain"

"A Day Without Rain" is an album by Irish musician Enya, released in 2000. It won the Grammy Award for "Best New Age Album" of 2002. It is best known for the song "Only Time" which became a major success in 2000, and again in 2001 when it became identified with the 11 September 2001 attacks through extensive media use.

"A Day Without Rain" went on to become Enya's biggest selling release of her career and the "FIFTH" highest selling album worldwide of 2001. Note I said FIFTH BEST SELLING album of 2001!  It has sold over 25 million copies.  It is the top selling new age album of the 2000s in the US, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

There are a number of beautiful songs on this album...one especially that became more mainstream popular...which I'll talk about in a later post.  This happens to just be maybe my favorite :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_767970&feature=iv&src_vid=puu3qFXnrzM&v=N8Jf3Eq6JCY

I don't know that I have heard anything so beautiful in a long time.....It moved me back then....and it still does.....

Sooooo here we go!!.....and don't you dare spin that dial!......from 2001.......its Enya.......and "Flora's Secret"

This for the daughter I hope to have someday......I thank her ahead of time and I hope to be the Mom she will be proud of :)

Thanks for indulging me.....enjoy :)

Another from the Michelle Archives.....and something a little different

It's from 2001....from an artist named.......Enya.....and its called....."Only TIme"...

You've no doubt heard it and wondered what it was...who did it......now you know :)

"Only Time" is a song composed and recorded by Irish singer Enya, first released in November 2000. The release of this single coincided with the release of the album A Day Without Rain. In 2001 "Only Time" was released again as a remix. The track was remixed by the Swiss American Federation (S.A.F.) (Christian B. and Marc Dold) with a final remix by Enya's producer, Nicky Ryan.
 
Enya donated the earnings from the sale of that single to the Uniform Firefighters Association's Widows' and Children's Fund to help the families of fire fighters in the aftermath of 9/11. The song was also featured in the soundtrack of the motion picture Sweet November. To date, "Only Time" is Enya's biggest solo hit in the United States, where it peaked at #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and #1 on the adult contemporary chart.

During the summer of 2001, NBC used the song in commercials to promote "Friends", which ended its season on a cliffhanger. The exposure helped the song gain familiarity and increased radio play. As a result, the song became Enya's first top 40 radio hit in 12 years. The song also appeared on an episode of "Viva La Bam" that was played in the montage of Bam Margera's Hummer after it was thrown off the cliff by Don Vito....which is classic btw.

The song was used in a tribute to the victims of 9/11 and as noted...Enya donated the proceeds from sale of the single to multiple 9/11 victims causes.  

It's maybe the most beautiful song I have ever heard....and for me to say that ....is a pretty big deal :)

Sooooo here we go......and don't you dare change that dial!.....from 2001.....its Enya......and its....."Only Time"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wfYIMyS_dI

This is my tiny tribute to all the victims of 9/11......I only pray the families and friends of the victims have found peace and solace since then....it is one of my fondest wishes :)  I lost my roommate in college at Stanford...and my best friend.....Stephanie....in the 9/11 attacks.  I miss you every day Steph......

Enjoy :)

"Only Time"
Who can say where the road goes
Where the day flows, only time
And who can say if your love grows
As your heart chose, only time

Who can say why your heart sighs
As your love flies, only time
And who can say why your heart cries
When your love lies, only time

Who can say when the roads meet
That love might be in your heart
And who can say when the day sleeps
If the night keeps all your heart
Night keeps all your heart

Who can say if your love grows
As your heart chose
- Only time
And who can say where the road goes
Where the day flows, only time

Who knows? Only time

Those who enjoy Enya are encouraged to seek out the work of Clannad, who are comprised primarily of her family members and are where she herself got a start before going solo about 1983.  Their music has much of the same appeal that can be found on her albums.  A good place for the uninitiated to start is with the compilation album PASTPRESENT, which collects a number of their better-known tracks.  (Many of which you may have heard and wondered who performed them.) 

Here they are with one of their best known tracks, the theme from "Harry's Game":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KpNzalFKPo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KpNzalFKPo)

For a somewhat similar style that's developed in a more mainstream direction, it might also be worth checking out some of the stuff by The Corrs, who are an Irish group similarly comprised of siblings.  Their most popular album to date is TALK ON CORNERS, which has been issued in two somewhat different versions.  Their most successful single, however, came from the follow-up album, IN BLUE.  Here they are with it, BREATHLESS:

the Michelle Archives is back......

and with one I think fits for me right now.....its from that great Motown era that gave us so much great music...I may declare this a Michelle Motown Weekend Tribute :)

Its old...and I bet you haven't heard it...its from a group who had just this one hit.... The Undistputed Truth.

the song is......."Smiling Faces Sometimes"

My father told me to play this at points in my life...he said I'd understand.....in my business....he was so very right

The Undisputed Truth was a 1970s Motown recording act, assembled by record producer Norman Whitfield as a means for being able to experiment with his psychedelic soul production techniques. Joe Harris served as main lead singer, with Billie Rae Calvin and Brenda Joyce Evans, formerly of The Delicates, on additional leads and background vocals.

The group's music and unusual costuming (large Afros and white makeup) typified the then-popular trend of "psychedelic soul" which producer Norman Whitfield had inaugurated. A number of their singles became minor hits, and many of them were also songs for Whitfield's main act, The Temptations, among them "You Make Your Own Heaven and Hell Right Here on Earth" and "Papa Was A Rollin' Stone."

"Smiling Faces Sometimes" is a soul song written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong for the Motown label. The song was originally recorded by the Temptations in 1971. Producer Norman Whitfield had the song re-recorded by the "Undisputed Truth" the same year, resulting in a number-three Billboard Hot 100 position for the group. "Smiling Faces" was the only Top 40 single released by the Undisputed Truth, and was included on their debut album The Undisputed Truth.

Both versions of "Smiling Faces Sometimes" deal with the same subject matter, "back-stabbing" friends who do their friends wrong behind their backs ("Smiling faces sometimes...they don't tell the truth...smiling faces sometimes tell lies"), but in different ways.


Smiling Faces

Smiling faces sometimes pretend to be your friend
Smiling faces show no traces of the evil that lurks within
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth uh
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
The truth is in the eyes
Cause the eyes don't lie, amen
Remember a smile is just
A frown turned upside down
My friend let me tell you
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth, uh
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
Beware, beware of the handshake
That hides the snake
I'm telling you beware
Beware of the pat on the back
It just might hold you back
Jealousy (jealousy)
Misery (misery)
Envy I tell you, you can't see behind smiling faces
Smiling faces sometimes they don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
(Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes)
(Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes)
I'm telling you beware, beware of the handshake
That hides the snake
Listen to me now, beware
Beware of that pat on the back
It just might hold you back
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
Your enemy won't do you no harm
Cause you'll know where he's coming from
Don't let the handshake and the smile fool ya
Take my advice I'm only try' to school ya

So here we go...and don't you dare touch that dial......its The Undisputed Truth.....and......"Smiling Faces"

So who is this dedicated to..you might ask?   Allow me a little mystery will you?  *grins evilly*

You were right Dad....as always.....love you......thanks :)

Another from the Michelle Archives.....on this Motown weekend tribute by yours truly....

Its one of my favorite old songs.......and it makes me smile no matter how bad my love life gets...

Its from a group called the Main Ingredient...from 1972.....and its called..."Everybody Plays The Fool".....

The Main Ingredient is an American soul and R&B group best known for their 1972 hit song, "Everybody Plays the Fool".
The group is lead by the great Cuba Gooding Sr....and his so distinctive singing voice.....you might know him as the father of one of my favorite actors....Cuba Gooding Jr.

The group was formed in Harlem, New York in 1964 as a trio called the Poets, composed of lead singer Donald McPherson, Luther Simmons, Jr., and Panama-born Tony Silvester. They made their first recordings for Leiber & Stoller's Red Bird label, but soon changed their name to the Insiders and signed with RCA. After a couple of singles, they changed their name once again in 1968, this time permanently to the Main Ingredient, taking the name from a Coke bottle.

The Main Ingredient then teamed up with record producer Bert DeCoteaux. Under his direction, the Main Ingredient reached the R&B Top 30 for the first time in 1970 with "You've Been My Inspiration." A cover of The Impressions' "I'm So Proud" broke the Top 20, and "Spinning Around (I Must Be Falling in Love)" went into the Top 10. They scored again with the McPherson-penned black power anthem "Black Seeds Keep on Growing," but tragedy struck in 1971: McPherson, who had suddenly taken ill with leukemia, died unexpectedly. Stunned, Silvester and Simmons regrouped with new lead singer Cuba Gooding, Sr., who had served as a backing vocalist on some of their previous recordings and had filled in on tour during McPherson's brief illness.

The Gooding era began auspiciously enough with the million-selling smash "Everybody Plays the Fool", which hit number two R&B and number three pop to become the group's biggest hit. It sold over one million copies and was awarded a gold disc by the R.I.A.A. in September 1972. The accompanying album, Bitter Sweet, became their first to hit the Top 10 on the R&B album chart; its follow-up, 1973's Afrodisiac, featured several songs written or co-written by Stevie Wonder, although it did not produce any huge successes on the singles charts. They peaked at number eight on the R&B chart in 1974 with "Just Don't Want to Be Lonely", which sold over a million copies,and also reached number ten on the Billboard Hot 100.

So here we go from 1972!.....and don't you dare touch that dial!....its the Main Ingredient...and..."Everybody Plays The Fool"

Title: Re: what are you listening to now
Post by: Michelle on September 28, 2013, 12:55:36 PM
Another from the Michelle Archives.....and a followup to Watchers pick...

Its by the great Van Halen.....and its called ......"Little Guitars"

"Little Guitars" is a song performed by Van Halen. It was included on their album "Diver Down".
The song is notable for its intro, an acoustic flamenco-style solo by Edward. This was accomplished by using his right hand to pick a single-note trill on the high E string. He then used his left hand to to play the melody on the A and D strings using hammer-ons and pull-offs.

As Eddie himself said...

   "Everyone thinks I overdubbed on that. Then I show them how I did it. Classical guitarists can do that, but they finger-pick. I can't finger-pick. No, I definitely cheated. I'm good at that. If there's a sound in my head and I want it, I'll find a way to do it. I bought a couple Montoya records. I actually tried to finger-pick, and I'm going, 'Screw this, it's too hard.'"

In addition to the intro, the song is also notable for the mini-Les Paul guitar that Edward used for the main track. This is the only Van Halen recording that the guitar was used for.

If you love playing the guitar as I do....it seldom gets much better...unless its the great "Stairway to Heaven"...which I'll discuss in another post.

So here we go....and don't you dare touch that dial...its one of my Guitar Heros and 1982............Van Halen.......and ......."Little Guitars"

Another from the Michelle Archives.....

And this is one that just hit me last night as we played it at the jazz club during one set....those who know me know I am a blues historian...I love it and love to play guitar with a band when I get a chance

This song is from 1962....and the great John Lee Hooker.....and its called....."Boom Boom"

and don't let the age....1962...fool you....this song holds up wonderfully.....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X70VMrH3yBg

"Boom Boom" is a blues song written by John Lee Hooker and recorded in 1961. The song was a hit in the US in 1962 and 1992 in the UK. It is one of Hooker's most identifiable songs and has been recorded by numerous blues and other artists, including a 1965 Pop hit by The Animals.

"Boom Boom" is an uptempo stop-time blues song, notated in 4/4 time in the key of F (the 1992 re-recording featuring Jimmie Vaughan is in the key of E). The verses of the song do not follow a typical twelve-bar blues pattern, though it reverts to a standard twelve-bar pattern for the extended instrumental break in the middle of Hooker's recording.  According to Hooker, he wrote the song during an extended engagement at the Apex Bar in Detroit. "I would never be on time; I always would be late comin' in. And she [the bartender Willa] kept saying, 'Boom boom—you late again'. Every night: 'Boom, boom—you late again'. I said 'Hmm, that's a song!"

Hooker had a unique sense of timing, which demanded "big-eared sidemen".  Backing John Lee Hooker (vocal and guitar) are members of the Funk Brothers (Joe Hunter (piano), James Jamerson (bass), and Benny Benjamin (drums)); plus Larry Veeder (guitar), Hank Cosby (tenor saxophone), and Andrew "Mike" Terry (baritone saxophone).

John Lee Hooker (August 22, 1917 – June 21, 2001) was a highly influential American blues singer,songwriter and guitarist. Hooker was born in Mississippi, the son of a sharecropper, and rose to prominence performing his own interpretation of what was originally a unique style of country blues. He developed a 'talking blues' style that became his trademark. Though similar to the early Delta blues, his music was metrically free. John Lee Hooker could be said to embody his own genre of the blues, often incorporating the boogie-woogie piano style and a driving rhythm into his blues guitar playing and singing. His best known songs include "Boogie Chillen'" (1948), "I'm in the Mood" (1951) and "Boom Boom" (1962), the first two reaching #1 on the Billboard R&B chart.

This is the song Javier Bardem played over external speakers from the attack helicopter as he came in on the estate at the end of the James Bond movie...."Skyfall"

If you want to know why I love playing guitar and the blues......this song tells you all you need to know :)

So here we go!.....one of my great favorites.....from John Lee Hooker.....its...."Boom Boom"

This one is for Sadie....Emily....and bailey (even unconscious).....who made the rookie.newcomer a total blast.....with just a little bit still left to come....I love you guys :)

A replay from the Michelle Archives....

Its one of my all time favs...its from my boys at Maroon 5.....and my best guy Adam Levine...

Its called......"One More Night".......God I love this song......

"One More Night" is a song performed by American pop rock band Maroon 5. The song was released on June 19, 2012, as the second single from their fourth studio album, Overexposed (2012). It was written by Adam Levine, Shellback, Max Martin and Savan Kotecha, while production was handled by Shellback and Martin. It is a pop song with a strong influence of reggae. Lyrically, it talks about not getting along with someone and hoping he only stays with her just "one more night". It is built upon the idea of the quintessential push and pull between what the heart, mind and body want, which are usually opposing things.

The song received mostly favorable reviews from music critics. Most of them complimented the reggae influence on the track, Levine's vocals and labeled it a "summer catchy song". However, some critics perceived a lack of identity and criticized the song's melody. The song debuted at number 42 on the Billboard Hot 100, while it debuted at number 27 on the Canadian Hot 100 chart. It has peaked at number 1 on the Hot 100 and number 2 on the Canadian Hot 100 chart. It currently is Maroon 5's most successful single on the Billboard Hot 100, spending 9 consecutive weeks at #1. The song has also been a success on the Australian Singles Chart, reaching number 2 and topping the New Zealand Singles Chart and the South Korean Gaon International Chart. The song sold 6.9 million copies becoming the 8th best selling song worldwide in 2012.

"One More Night"
You and I go hard at each other like we're going to war.
You and I go rough, we keep throwing things and slamming the door.
You and I get so damn dysfunctional, we stopped keeping score.
You and I get sick, yeah, I know that we can't do this no more.

Yeah, but baby there you go again, there you go again, making me love you.
Yeah, I stopped using my head, using my head, let it all go.
Got you stuck on my body, on my body, like a tattoo.
And now I'm feeling stupid, feeling stupid, crawling back to you.

So I cross my heart and I hope to die
That I'll only stay with you one more night
And I know I said it a million times
But I'll only stay with you one more night

Try to tell you "no" but my body keeps on telling you "yes".
Try to tell you "stop", but your lipstick got me so out of breath.
I'll be waking up in the morning, probably hating myself.
And I'll be waking up, feeling satisfied but guilty as hell.

Yeah, but baby there you go again, there you go again, making me love you.
(Making me love you)
Yeah, I stopped using my head, using my head, let it all go.
(I let it all go)
Got you stuck on my body, on my body, like a tattoo.
(Like a tattoo, yeah)
And now I'm feeling stupid, feeling stupid, crawling back to you.

So I cross my heart and I hope to die
(Yeah)
That I'll only stay with you one more night
(Oh)
And I know I said it a million times
(Yeah)
But I'll only stay with you one more night
(Yeah)

Yeah, baby, give me one more night
Yeah, baby, give me one more night (whoa, yeah)
Yeah, baby, give me one more night (oh, yeah, yeah)

Yeah, but baby there you go again, there you go again making me love you.
Yeah, I stopped using my head, using my head, let it all go.
Got you stuck on my body, on my body like a tattoo.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

So I cross my heart and I hope to die
(Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh)
That I'll only stay with you one more night
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)
And I know I said it a million times
(Oh, I said it a million times)
But I'll only stay with you one more night
(Yeah, baby give me one more night)

So I cross my heart and I hope to die (yeah, yeah)
That I'll only stay with you one more night (yeah, yeah)
And I know I said it a million times (yeah, yeah)
But I'll only stay with you one more night (yeah, yeah)

I don't know, whatever.

Post by: Michelle on October 01, 2013, 01:04:38 PM
Another from the Michelle Archives.....and one that's quite appropriate right now

Its from Badfinger.......and its called ......"Baby Blue"

On last night's series finale of "Breaking Bad", Walter White's final moments were soundtracked by a song befitting for the mastermind behind the blue meth: UK power-pop band' Badfinger's lilting lulalby "Baby Blue," a song that hints at both reverence ("I would show the special love I have for you, my baby blue") and regret ("I guess I got what I deserved").  

As we saw Walter White (Bryan Cranston) -- bleeding and near death -- back in a lab one last time, he had just the song to send him off. "Baby Blue," from British rock band Badfinger, played over Walt's last minutes. The song is from the band's album "Straight Up" and was a Billboard top 20 hit in 1972. The song was reportedly written about Dixie Armstrong, a woman lead singer Pete Ham had dated while on tour in the U.S.

"Baby Blue's" lyrics are appropriate for the end of Walt's journey, with lines such as  "I guess I got what I deserved" and "I would show the special love I have for you, my baby blue." On The Talking Bad, show creator Vince Gilligan said the scene in which the song is used illustrated Walt's love for his blue product.

"Baby Blue" is a song recorded by the rock/pop band Badfinger for inclusion on their 1971 album, Straight Up. The song was written by Pete Ham, produced by Todd Rundgren, and released on Apple Records.

"Baby Blue" was released as a single in the US on March 6, 1972, in a blue-tinted picture sleeve and featuring a new mix. Because Al Steckler, the head of Apple US, felt that it needed a stronger hook in the opening, he remixed the track with engineer Eddie Kramer in February 1972, applying heavy reverb to the snare during the first verse and middle eight.  
It would become the group's last Top 20 single, peaking at number 14 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart.

"Baby Blue" made an appearance in Martin Scorsese's 2006 Oscar-winning film, "The Departed" and in again.... the TV show "Breaking Bad" where it was played during the final minutes of the show's series finale, "Felina". Vince Gilligan, the show's creator, implied on "Talking Bad" that it represented the main character's love of his own creation, the blue meth. Following the song's use in the hit show, streams online increased in popularity exponentially almost immediately following the broadcast.

So here we go......from 1972.....its Badfinger.........and......"Baby Blue"...

This song is dedicated to all those......who think I have got what I deserved.....and more.....its dedicated to those "wannabe" friends


"Baby Blue"
Guess I got what I deserve
Kept you waiting there, too long my love
All that time, without a word
Didn't know you'd think, that I'd forget, or I'd regret
The special love I have for you, my Baby Blue

All the days became so long
Did you really think, I'd do you wrong
Dixie, when I let you go
Thought you'd realize, that I would know, I would show
The special love I have for you, my Baby Blue

What can I do, what can I say
Except that I want you by my side
How can I show, you, show me a way
Don't you know, the times I tried
Guess that's all I have to say
Except the feeling just gets stronger, everyday
Just one thing, before I go

Take good care, baby, let me know, let it grow
The special love, you have for me, my Dixie dear

I think about how many times I have fallen
Spirits are using me larger voices callin'
What Heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten
I have been around the world
Lookin' for that woman girl
Who knows love can endure
And you know it will
And you know it will

When you see the Southern Cross for the first time
You understand now why you came this way
'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from is so small
But it's as big as the promise, the promise of a comin' day

Another from the Michelle Archives....

I have made it very very plain over the months I have been here......I love Justin Timberlake!

I think he is quite simply the best......no questions.....and he can have me anytime he gets tired of Jessica Biel :)

This song of his is maybe one of my favorite.....after "Mirrors"....which is my favorite song of his...

The name of this particular special song is from 2007 ....and its......"What Goes Around Comes Around"....

"What Goes Around... Comes Around" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Justin Timberlake for his second studio album "FutureSex/LoveSounds" (2006). It was written and produced by Timberlake, Timbaland, and Danja. The song was said by Timberlake to be about betrayal and forgiveness, and was described by some music critics as a "sequel" to his 2002 single "Cry Me a River". The song received generally positive reviews from music critics.

The song was sent to United States radio on January 8, 2007, as the album's third single. It became Timberlake's third consecutive number one hit on the Billboard Hot 100. Internationally the song was also successful, reaching the top ten in countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, Germany, and Australia. The song was later certified two-times platinum in Australia, Gold in the United States and gold in New Zealand. The song received positive reviews from music critics. The song won Best Male Pop Vocal Performance at the 50th Grammy Awards, where it also received a nomination for Record of the Year.

The music video for the "What Goes Around... Comes Around" is priceless and wonderful and one of the best I have ever seen.  It was produced as a short movie. The video was directed by Samuel Bayer, who had first directorial works with Nirvana's 1991 single "Smells Like Teen Spirit". The video features dialogues written by Alpha Dog writer and director Nick Cassavetes, who had previously worked with Timberlake in the film. Timberlake and Bayer enlisted American actress Scarlett Johansson after deciding on using "real" actors. The shooting went for three days between Christmas and New Year's Eve in Los Angeles. The dawn scene was shot on January 8, after the original sessions were done.

In September 2007, "What Goes Around... Comes Around" won an MTV Video Music Award for Best Direction.[35] It was also nominated for Video of the Year but lost to singer Rihanna's 2007 video "Umbrella"

"What Goes Around Comes Around" is about betrayal and forgiveness.  Timberlake revealed that the song was written for the experience his friend went through.  However, the public came up with different interpretation of the lyrics, that being a sequel to "Cry Me A River". Bill Lamb wrote that the song has a "cautionary tale in the lyrics".   According to him, many fans and critics alike, after hearing the song, insisted that it is similar in meaning to "Cry Me a River", which allegedly accounts to Timberlake's relationship with former girlfriend, pop singer Britney Spears.  Spence D. of IGN commented that the song presents "some intriguing ambiance"

I especially love this song because I got to see Justin when his tour "Future Sex/LoveSounds tour in 2008 came to New York and played at Madison Square Garden.  I have been many many concerts....but never have I seen a venue erupt as MSG did that night.  My girlfriend and I had the very best time of our lives...I still get goosebumps thinking about it 5 years later

This the music video with Scarlett Johansson

This YouTube video is from that night :)

This song is dedicated to McKenzie....we're apart now......but I suspect your heart will always be part of mine.   I hope you are finding the happiness you seak...I mean that Mc :)

Here's another one about keeping on in the face of adversity.  It's southern rockers Wet Willie, whose first album goes all the way back to 1971 and who continue to tour (and occasionally record) until this day.  This is their best known song, a top ten hit from 1974 called "Keep On Smilin'".  While they would never again reach the top ten, the group took their own advice and carried on, scoring additional chart singles throughout the seventies.  Sill, this is their legacy tune, and the one most people now know them for.  Enjoy!


Well, you say you've got the blues
You've got holes in both your shoes yeah
You're feeling alone and confused
You got to keep on smilin'
Just keep on smilin'

Yeah you're 'bout to go insane
'Cause your woman's playin' games
And she says that you're to blame
Just keep on smilin'

Keep on smilin' thru the rain
Laughin' at the pain
Just flowin' with the changes
Till the sun comes out again

Singin' in a honkey tonk cafe
But nobody's hearin' what you play
They're too busy drinkin' anyway
You gotta keep on smilin'

Say you found a piece of land
You're gonna change from city boy
To country man, yeah
Try to build your life with your hands
And just keep on smilin'
Keep on smilin'

Keep on smilin' thru the rain
Laughin' at the pain
Just flowin' with the changes
Till the sun comes out again

You're just hangin' out
At a local bar
And you're wonderin'
Who the hell you are
Are you a farmer?
Are you a star?

Smile on through the rain
Laugh through all the pain
Flow on with the changes
Till the sun shines out again

Keep on smilin', smilin', laughin', laughin'
Flowin', flowin', flowin', flowin'

The Michelle Archives is alive and well......and here is another from that marvelous collection....and one of my favorites...

Its from the great Pat Benatar........and its......."Love is a Battlefield*

"Love Is a Battlefield" is a song performed by Pat Benetar, and written by Holly Knight and Mike Chapman. It was released as a single from Benatar's live album Live from Earth. The single has been certified gold and is her highest charting single in the United States. It topped Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks chart for four weeks and peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in December 1983.  It topped the Australian singles chart for five weeks in 1984. The song was rereleased in the United Kingdom in March 1985 and reached #17. The song would also net Benatar her fourth consecutive Grammy Award for "Best Female Rock Vocal Performance" of 1983. It was awarded a Gold certification in Canada for sales of 5000 units. It was featured in the television series Psych and Drop Dead Diva and in the film 13 Going on 30. The single was unlike most of Benatar's previous work, as it featured an electronic dance element, but guitars and drums were still present. The song won Benatar a Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance.

The guitar work and the associated beat on this song are priceless.....and as a guitar player it is one I can't never cease to listen to.....
The lyrics are beyond description...and its easy to see why the song was so popular.....


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGVZOLV9SPo

"Love is a Battlefield"
We are strong
No one can tell us we're wrong
Searching our hearts for so long
Both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield

You're begging me to go
Then making me stay
Why do you hurt me so bad
It would help me to know
Do I stand in your way
Or am I the best thing you've had

Believe me
Believe me
I can't tell you why
But I'm trapped by your love
And I'm chained to your side

We are young
Heartache to heartache we stand
No promises
No demands
Love is a battlefield

We are strong
No one can tell us we're wrong
Searching our hearts for so long
Both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield

When I'm losing control
Will you turn me away
Or touch me deep inside
And when all this gets old
Will it still feel the same
There's no way this will die
But if we get much closer
I could lose control
And if your heart surrenders
You'll need me to hold

We are young
Heartache to heartache we stand
No promises
No demands
Love is a battlefield

We are strong
No one can tell us we're wrong
Searching our hearts for so long
Both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield


And who am I dedicating this song to?  She knows....I promise you......:)

Have a great week everybody....make it a good one and and enjoy :)

Another from the Michelle Archives....

Its from 1984....and Dan Hartman...its called......."I Can Dream About You"

You probably haven't heard the name Dan Hartman a lot....but I promise you've heard this song :)

"I Can Dream About You" is a song performed by Dan Hartman on the soundtrack of the film "Streets of Fire". Originally released in 1984 as a single off Hartman's album "I Can Dream About You", it reached #6 on the Billboard Hot 100.  The song was performed by Winston Ford in the movie. In 2006 the song appeared in the popular video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
According to Daryl Hall, Hartman had written the song with Hall & Oates in mind, and offered the song to them to record as their own. Hall & Oates declined, citing that they didn't normally record cover songs. Late in their career, however, they issued an album of covers called Our Kind of Soul on which they recorded their own version (with changed lyrics) of Hartman's song. Two music videos accompanied the song. One didn't feature Hartman and mainly featured scenes from the Streets of Fire film with actor Stoney Jackson lip-syncing the song. Another featured Hartman playing a bartender who tries to charm a young lady while scenes from Streets of Fire are playing.

Hall and Oates is one of my favorite groups and I wish many times they would have recorded it originally...with Daryl Hall's vocal range...I think it would have been a smash....although Hartman is amazing in his rendition.

"I Can Dream About You"
No more timing each tear that falls from my eyes
I'm not hiding the remedy to cure this old heart of mine

I can dream about you
If I can't hold you tonight
I can dream about you
You know how to hold me just right

I can dream about you
If I can't hold you tonight
I can dream about you
You know how to hold me just right

Moving sidewalks, I don't see under my feet
Climbing up from down here below
Where the streets see me lonely for you

I can dream about you
If I can't hold you tonight
I can dream about you
You know how to hold me just right

I can dream about you
I'm gonna press my lips against you and hold you tight to me
I can dream about you
You know you got me spellbound what else can it be

Moving sidewalks, I don't see under my feet
Climbing up from the pain in my heart 'cause it's you that I need

I don't understand it
I can't keep my mind off loving you
Ooh, now baby, I'm caught up in the magic I see in you
There's one thing to do

I can dream about you
If I can't hold you tonight
I can dream about you
You know how to hold me just right

I can dream about you
If I can't hold you tonight
I can dream about you
You know how to hold me just right

When you listen to this song.....If you can't imagine thinking about someone you care about who is far away......or dancing with that special someone.....then check your pulse...something is very wrong :)

I love this song.....I think I'll dedicate it to someone very special to me....because I miss her so very much......and you know who you are :)

Enjoy everyone....have a most wonderful and special weekend :)

I am sure Michelle would agree with me on this and I have not seen his name mentioned or maybe I have missed it but, I am listening to Jimi Hendrix- "Along the Watchtower"    His guitar playing is the style you hear so much of nowadays but in the mid-sixties... he was it. Anyway, for those who have not heard him ...please listen to his music  :)

Another from the Michelle Archives.....and one of my all time favorites....

Its from Stevie Ray Vaughn......and its....."Riviera Paradise"

This is a soulful instrumental by SRV. After a full day of recording material for the album "Riviera Paradise", Stevie asked his producer to leave the tape running and to turn down the lights. All alone, he recorded the guitar track on his Fender Strat. His group "Double Trouble" added the backing later, including an organ foundation from Reese Wynans.
On the Austin City Limits performance that I have attached here, Stevie introduced this by saying it was "For all the hurting people in the world."

I absolutely adore this song. Stevie said it was him "praying" through his guitar, and that's exactly what it sounds like. An absolutely beautiful song played by an outstanding musician. I will miss Stevie until the day I die.  He is the main reason I started playing jazz guitar...he and the great Earl Klugh.....thanks guys...

Every time I play....when we're performing....I think of Stevie Ray and what he meant to music....and how in many ways a part of it died tragically when he did...but so much more continues to live.

Good call.  That whole soundtrack is full of good stuff.

The SRV track is killer as well.  I was lucky enough to see him (from the third row!) back in '84 as a surprise act who wasn't even listed on the bill.  Pretty awesome surprise!

From the Michelle Archives....and brand new.....

Its from one of my all time favorites....Lindsey Stirling.......its called....."Minimal Beat"

I love and adore Lindsey.....

Lindsey Stirling tried every way she could think of to get her music heard. She pitched record labels, entered talent competitions in Las Vegas and went on “America’s Got Talent,” and none of it worked. Then the dub-step violinist tried YouTube — and connected with an ever-growing audience. Her YouTube channel has more than 3.5 million subscribers, and her videos have been viewed more than 450 million times.

Putting her music online has literally taken Stirling around the world, as demonstrated in her new video for “Minimal Beat,” which premieres today on Speakeasy. The clip for the winding instrumental song finds Stirling playing in her charmingly expressive, athletic way against backdrops in London, Paris, Moscow, Sydney and other cities, between shots of her clowning with her bandmates backstage, in restaurants and hotel rooms.

“The only way I’d be where I am today is through YouTube,” Stirling told Speakeasy. In fact, “Radioactive,” her video with the a cappella group Pentatonix, won Response of the Year at the inaugural YouTube Music Awards earlier this month.

“Minimal Beat” appears on Stirling’s self-titled 2012 album, which was re-released last month.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZa1iFO0Juk

Check her out and subscribe to her YouTube channel.....you'll fall in love with her and her music as I have.....I promise....

This one I dedicate to me......and my good friends here.....you know who you are :)

Another from the Michelle Archives....

Its from 1985 and the great Phil Collins.....and its called.... "Don't Lose My Number"

"Don't Lose My Number" is a song by Phil Collins from his third solo album  "No Jacket Required". The single was not released in the UK, though it peaked at #4 in the US during late September 1985. The B-side, "We Said Hello Goodbye" was released as a bonus track on the CD for No Jacket Required.

The song is addressed to someone called "Billy" whom the singer is hoping to find (and hopes Billy still has his number). Collins has said that he actually wrote most of the song during the recordings for his very first album, Face Value.  Collins also states that the lyrics were improvised, and that he himself does not fully understand what they mean.  Stephen Holden of the New York Times also agreed that the lyrics were very "vague, sketching the outlines of a melodrama but withholding the full story".  The single was not released in the UK, but peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts during late September 1985.

Collins did not know what he would use as a video theme for "Don't Lose My Number," so he decided to create a video showing his decision process in selecting a theme for it.   In the actual video, Collins talks to various "directors", who all give him bad ideas for the video. Their suggestions allow Collins to parody several other music videos of the time, including videos by Michael Jackson, David Lee Roth ("California Girls"), Elton John, The Police ("Every Breath You Take"), and The Cars ("You Might Think"), as well as movies such as Mad Max 2 and various samurai movies and Westerns.

I love the pounding beat of this song....the guitar solo in the middle is one of the best ever......and Collins signature vocals are awesome.....I love it!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-eP-GX6_IY

This was one his most popular songs here in the U.S.   Check it out :)

I dedicate this to my friend Karen...and hope she enjoys it.....see you soon baby :)

A simple one....but one very special to me....its by Sara "Rumer" Joyce.....and its called....."I Believe In You"

Its beautiful....its all I can say.....

Sarah Joyce (born 3 June 1979), better known by her stage name, Rumer, is a Pakistani-born British singer–songwriter.  Her stage name was inspired by the author Rumer Godden.  Rumer's voice has been described by The Guardian and many others as being reminiscent of Karen Carpenter.  Supported by leading music industry figures including Burt Bacharach, Jools Holland and Elton John, Rumer was nominated for two Brit awards on 13 January 2011. She has performed at several festivals such as Glastonbury Festival

n the 2011 UK Asian Music Awards, Rumer was nominated for Best Alternative Act and Best Newcomer  and ended up winning Best Alternative Act.  Rumer also contributed to a memorial concert to film composer, John Barry, which took place on 20 June 2011 at the Royal Albert Hall in London where the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Dame Shirley Bassey, David Arnold, Wynne Evans, trumpeter Derek Watkins and others performed Barry's music.  Rumer performed the John Barry/Hal David song "We Have All The Time In The World" accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Nicholas Dodd.

She recorded the track "I Believe in You" for the end credits to Johnny English Reborn, released in October 2011.

"I Believe In You"

When you're sleeping, I watch you for hours
Feels like reading
Or gazing at stars
Never touch you, no
Just waiting for one to fall to Earth
Brighten up my empty world
'Cause I believe in you
I believe in you
You make it better
You keep on coming through
So much, I don't believe it
But I believe in you
Heroes win
But sometimes they fail
Some people can't believe it
But I need you human anyway
Nothing less
I want my star to fall to Earth
It's where we love; it's where we hurt
'Cause I believe in you
I believe in you
You make it better
You keep on coming through
So much, I don't believe it
But I believe in you
(You make it better, baby)
You make it better, baby
I believe in you
(You make it better, baby)
You make it better
You keep on coming through
So much, I don't believe it
But I believe in you

I'm dedicating this song to those who believe in me.....and two people especially......you know who you are :)

Thank You......the magic does live....it will never ever die :)

Have a great day everyone......in fact.....try and make it even better :)

From the Michelle Archives....and brand new.....

Its from one of my all time favorites....Lindsey Stirling.......its called....."Minimal Beat"

I love and adore Lindsey.....

Lindsey Stirling tried every way she could think of to get her music heard. She pitched record labels, entered talent competitions in Las Vegas and went on “America’s Got Talent,” and none of it worked. Then the dub-step violinist tried YouTube — and connected with an ever-growing audience. Her YouTube channel has more than 3.5 million subscribers, and her videos have been viewed more than 450 million times.

Putting her music online has literally taken Stirling around the world, as demonstrated in her new video for “Minimal Beat,” which premieres today on Speakeasy. The clip for the winding instrumental song finds Stirling playing in her charmingly expressive, athletic way against backdrops in London, Paris, Moscow, Sydney and other cities, between shots of her clowning with her bandmates backstage, in restaurants and hotel rooms.

“The only way I’d be where I am today is through YouTube,” Stirling told Speakeasy. In fact, “Radioactive,” her video with the a cappella group Pentatonix, won Response of the Year at the inaugural YouTube Music Awards earlier this month.

“Minimal Beat” appears on Stirling’s self-titled 2012 album, which was re-released last month.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZa1iFO0Juk

Check her out and subscribe to her YouTube channel.....you'll fall in love with her and her music as I have.....I promise....

This one I dedicate to me......and my good friends here.....you know who you are :)

I just recently discovered her, and she's great. Moon Trance has that bit of influence from "Hall of the Mountain King" that I just love, and Shadows is well done, too. Also, her covers of the Halo and Skyrim themes are magnificent (Peter Hollens does AWESOME work on the vocals, by the way).

Aside from that, Iron Maiden's Number of the Beast and Megadeth's Countdown to Extinction have been getting a lot of love from me lately. "Hallowed Be Thy Name" and "Sweating Bullets" are great to sing along to in the truck.

This made me think of an identically-titled song by Bob Dylan, so I thought I'd share it with everyone.  Sadly, this seems to be the only Bob Dylan song on the face of the earth that's actually aggressively policed, and every video I found had been removed or the sound muted due to a complaint by the copyright owner.  However, I found a gorgeous cover of the song by Alison Krauss, so I'm linking that version instead.  Hope you all enjoy it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qadnY8p-Hi8 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qadnY8p-Hi8)

"I Believe In You"

They ask me how I feel
And if my love is real
And how I know I'll make it through
And they, they look at me and frown
They'd like to drive me from this town
They don't want me around
'Cause I believe in you.

They show me to the door
They say don't come back no more
'Cause I don't be like they'd like me to
And I, I walk out on my own
A thousand miles from home
But I don't feel alone
'Cause I believe in you.

I believe in you even through the tears and the laughter
I believe in you even though we be apart
I believe in you even on the morning after
Oh, when the dawn is nearing
Oh, when the night is disappearing
Oh, this feeling is still here in my heart.

Don't let me drift too far
Keep me where you are
Where I will always be renewed
And that which you've given me today
Is worth more than I could pay
And no matter what they say
I believe in you.

I believe in you when winter turn to summer
I believe in you when white turn to black
I believe in you even though I be outnumbered
Oh, though the earth may shake me
Oh, though my friends forsake me
Oh, even that couldn't make me go back.

Don't let me change my heart
Keep me set apart
From all the plans they do pursue
And I, I don't mind the pain
Don't mind the driving rain
I know I will sustain
'Cause I believe in you.

Another from the Michelle Archives......

Its from Duran Duran.....and its...."Union of the Snake"...

This is probably my favorite song from this wonderful group.....Its hard to beat Nick Rhodes on vocals.....I got to see them do this live in my second home.....London......and they were still awesome by the sound....

"Union of the Snake" was the ninth single by Duran Duran, released on 17 October 1983.
"Union of the Snake" was the lead single from the band's third album Seven and the Ragged Tiger and preceded its release by one month. It became one of Duran Duran's most popular hits peaking at #3 on both the UK Singles Chart and the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The video for "Union of the Snake" was conceived by Russell Mulcahy, who directed many of the heavy rotation videos for songs from Duran Duran's previous album Rio. However, as Mulcahy was busy preparing to direct the concert film Arena and the documentary film Sing Blue Silver during the band's world tour, the video for "Union" was actually directed by Simon Milne (who also filmed videos for Kajagoogoo and Missing Persons). There was a bit of controversy surrounding the video as it was released to MTV a whole week before the single was released on radio. Radio stations were anxious at the time because they were concerned that channels like MTV might supplant them in the promotion of singles.

The clip, filmed in part in sandhills near Cronulla, features the band being tracked through the Australian desert by a half-man, half-snake creature. They eventually take a lift beneath the sands into what appears to be an underground cathedral, where the snake creature and other bizarre characters interact with vocalist Le Bon. The band's other members make only brief appearances in the video.

The use of expensive sets, costumes and makeup foreshadowed the over-the-top nature of videos to come, including a 17-minute epic video for "New Moon on Monday", the massively expensive video for "The Wild Boys", and the extravagant concept/live film Arena.

So here we go!!   Its from 1983....and Duran Duran.......and don't you dare touch that dial.....

Its ...."Union of the Snake"........Michelle says check it out.....:)

Another from the Michelle Archives....as my Duran Duran tribute continues....

Its from the great great group...and its called......"Girls on Film".......and its maybe their most fun song....certainly their most controversial...

Lets face it.....Simon Le Bon and Nick Rhodes just kick ass!

I still love "Union of the Snake" better......,but this one is just pure fun when you put it all together with the video...

And the most famous part of the song ended being the music video...which contained various elements of female fighting....S&M....all the stuff you all know I love!.......and other things that can only be described as awesome to offensive depending on your sensibilities.....of which I personally have none!

The video was considered to raunchy and BANNED by the BBC!!.....BOOOO!!...and heavily edited for MTV late night :)  

My....the times...they are a changing :)

"Girls on Film" is the third single by Duran Duran, released on 13 July 1981.
The single became Duran Duran's Top 10 breakthrough in the UK Singles Chart, peaking at Number 5 in July 1981. Its success was particularly gratifying for the band, who had personally selected it for release following the failure of its predecessor, "Careless Memories", which had been chosen by their record company, EMI. Its popularity provided a major boost to sales of the band's eponymous debut album, Duran Duran, which had been released a month earlier.
The song did not chart in the United States on its initial release, but it became popular and widely known after receiving heavy airplay on MTV when the Duran Duran album was re-issued in 1983.

Over the years, "Girls on Film" has become a staple of the encores for Duran Duran's live performances and is often the final song of a concert, during which lead singer Simon Le Bon introduces the rest of the band.

The song fared well on the radio and the charts before the video was filmed, but the controversy that ensued helped to keep the band in the public eye and the song on the charts for many weeks.

The band performs on an elevated stage behind a models' catwalk, which resembles a boxing ring, as various scantily clad women act out a series of erotic vignettes. A number of these scenarios feature mild depictions of BDSM, sexual fetishism and fantasy and recurring themes of seduction and abandonment:

Two models in sheer black camisoles and knickers mount the catwalk carrying pillows. They straddle a feather-covered pole at either end and move toward the centre, sliding their crotches along the horizontal candy-striped shaft in a slow and suggestive manner. The models proceed to have a pillow fight. Upon finishing, they kiss and return to their dressing room and pour champagne on each other's cleavage.

The Sumo wrestling match from "Girls on Film".
A petite female Sumo wrestler with her hair flared up in a tall tophawk ponytail mounts the catwalk to confront a lumbering, heavyset male Sumo wrestler. The woman is wearing a sheer top and a mawashi loincloth. In the confrontational tachi-ai stance, she seizes her opponent by the shoulder and flips him forward head-over-heels. He somersaults and lands on his backside with a thud and she gives the ceremonial rei salutation (i.e., a bow) and walks away victorious.

and that's just the beginning folks.......trust me.....I loved it!!!!

And so.....here we go....its from 1983...and the great Duran Duran.......its...."Girls on Film"

Don't you dare touch that dial!

This is for the world's greatest Duran Duran fan....my hot and sexy Mom......

Another from the Michelle Archives….and one of my guitar favorites….and a replay

Its from one of my favorite performers…..Chris Isaak and the boys …and 1986…..and their song……”Blue Hotel”

The song is part of the album…”Chris Isaak”

Isaak signed a contract to Warner Bros. Records in 1984 for his first album, Silvertone.  One track from the album "Dancin" was Isaak's first music video featured on MTV and two tracks from this album, "Gone Ridin'" and "Livin' for Your Lover", were featured in David Lynch's cult classic Blue Velvet. Isaak's second self-titled album, Chris Isaak, was photographed by fashion photographer Bruce Weber. “Blue Hotel” is one of the mainstays of that great album.
 
Isaak's best known song is "Wicked Game".  Though released on the 1989 album Heart Shaped World, an instrumental version of the song was later featured in the 1990 David Lynch film Wild at Heart.  Lee Chesnut, an Atlanta radio station music director who was obsessed with Lynch films, played the vocal version and it became the station's most-requested song. Chesnut spread the word to other radio stations and the single became a national Top 10 hit in February 1991. The music video for the song was directed by Herb Ritts and was a MTV and VH1 hit; shot in black and white, it starred Isaak and supermodel Helena Christensen rolling on the beach, embracing and whispering in each other's ears. Another less-seen version of "Wicked Game" is directed by David Lynch and comprises scenes from the film Wild at Heart. "Wicked Game" featured as the backing music in the 2001 TV advertisement for the Jaguar X-Type in the UK. In 1995, Isaak split with longtime guitarist James Calvin Wilsey. That year's Forever Blue album and the accompanying tour featured Hershel Yatovitz on guitar.

Hershcek Yaovittz is a real guitar hero…and he is certainly mine.  He was one of the big inspirations for me learning the guitar….along with two of the best ever…

Stevie Ray Vaughn…..and Earl Klugh

And “Blue Hotel” was a song I learned to play on ☺

So here we go…and don’t you dare touch that dial!....its Chris Isaak and the Boys……..and their hit…….”Blue Hotel”……

Here is another with Chris and the boys having fun.....I love these guys.....please let me jam with you Chris!

Another from the Michelle Archives.....and one of the prettiest I have ever heard....

Its from my favorite....Chris Isaak......and its....."Somebody's Crying"

"Somebody's Crying" is a song by musician Chris Isaak from his fifth album, Forever Blue. The song was released as the album's first single in May 1995.   It also appears on his 2006 Best of Chris Isaak compilation. A live version is included on Isaak's 2008 Live in Australia album.

Isaak wrote the song shortly after a breakup with his girlfriend. Isaak had attended a friend's party, but soon realized that he did not want to be there.  He went inside a walk-in closet, closed the door, grabbed a guitar that was leaning against the back wall, and wrote "Somebody's Crying."

Lyrically, the song describes one's yearning for a former lover, and the fear of communicating again with that person.   In a 1995 interview, Isaak compared the lyrics to a way children often speak:

"Most of us are as terrified of love as little kids are terrified of the world. Little kids come up to you and say, "I know someone who loves you" or "I know someone who likes you." They say it like, I'm not going to really come out and say it. And for adults, it's probably the same way. They never really get beyond that fear"

The music video for "Somebody's Crying" was released in 1995 and was directed by Bill Pope.  In contrast to the song's melancholy lyrical content, the video presents a more upbeat story of a summer romance, and features Isaak riding a surfboard, a favorite pastime of his.  Isaak said, "I thought it would be more fun to do. More and more I'm trying to keep a little bit of fun in what I'm doing."  Actors Jennifer Rubin, Jenna Elfman, Zen Gesner, and Chris Penn appear in the video.

The video received a 1995 MTV Video Music Award nomination for Best Male Video, but lost to Tom Petty's "You Don't Know How It Feels."

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

"Somebody's Crying"

I know somebody and they cry for you.
They lie awake at night and dream of you.
I bet you never even know they do, but somebody's crying.

I know somebody and they called your name.
A million times and still you never came.
They go on loving you just the same, I know that somebody's trying.

So please, return the love you took from me.
Or please, let me know if it can't be me, I know when,
Somebody's lying, I know when somebody's lying.

I know that somebody's lying, I know that somebody's lying.

Give me a sign and let me know we're through.
If you don't love me like I love you.
But if you cry at night the way I do I'll know that somebody's lying.

So please, return the love you took from me.
Or please, let me know if it can't be me.
I know when somebody's lying, I know when somebody's lying.
Oh I, oh I......


So here we go..and don't you dare touch that dial.....its my man Chris Isaak...and....."Somebody's Crying"

This for is my late little sister Maddie.....I miss you so very much.......have a Merry Christmas baby........the best ever :)

Have a great weekend everybody :)

Post by: Michelle on December 20, 2013, 02:01:41 AM
Another from the Michelle Archives.......and from one of my favorite artists......Phil Collins.......and his song........"Easy Lover"

"Easy Lover" is a hit song performed by Philip Bailey and Phil Collins (both born in the same year, 1951), and written by Bailey, Collins, and Nathan East. The song appeared on Bailey's solo album Chinese Wall. Collins has performed the song in his live concerts and it appears on his 1990 album Serious Hits... Live!, as well as his 1998 compilation album, ...Hits.

The song was a hit in several countries worldwide. In the US it reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 kept out of the top spot for two weeks by I Want to Know What Love Is by Foreigner, and in the UK it reached #1, staying there for four weeks. The single sold over a million copies in the United States and has only been certified Gold—not Platinum—since the RIAA requirement for a Platinum single wasn't lowered to 1,000,000 units until 1989. In addition Easy Lover has been certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry for sales of over 400,000 in the UK and platinum in Canada by Music Canada.

"Easy Lover" won an MTV Video Music Award for Best Overall Performance in a Video in 1985 and was Grammy nominated for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals in 1986.

The lighthearted video for the song was filmed in London, England and is essentially a music video about the making of a music video.

Collins is one of my all time favs....I could listen to his songs for hours....and this one is soo good.......

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-8GdjQ9fnU

"Easy Lover"

She'll get a hold on you believe it

mmmm Andrea Bocelli! The voice of an angel - and so very humble. Some years ago. at the MTV music awards, as a new-comer, he had just won his third award; and to long and loud applause, he said.."And now, I will try to sing .....".  TRY to sing??!! He is truly an inspiration!!

Another from the Michelle Archives.....and one that stirs something deep inside...

Its from Phil Collins and 1980...and its called......"In The Air"

"In the Air Tonight" is a song written in 1979 and recorded in 1980 by English singer Phil Collins and popularized by the hit tv series Miami Vice. It first appeared on Collins' 1981 solo album Face Value. Released as a single in the United Kingdom in January 1981, the song was an instant hit, quickly climbing to #2 on the UK Singles chart. It was also an international hit peaking at #19 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in mid-1981. The track remains one of Collins' best-known hits. The song's music video directed by Stuart Orme received heavy play on MTV when the new cable music video channel launched in August 1981.

The recording is notable for its atmospheric production and macabre theme. Collins wrote the song about the anger he felt after divorcing his first wife, Andrea, in 1979. In a 1997 BBC Radio 2 documentary, the singer revealed that the divorce contributed to his 1979 hiatus from Genesis until the band regrouped in October of that year to record the album Duke.
"In the Air Tonight" remains a popular selection on many classic rock radio stations. It is the song most often associated with Collins's solo career, and he has performed versions of it at many events, most notably at Live Aid, where he played the song on a piano on the same calendar day in both Philadelphia and London.  He also performed the song at The Secret Policeman's Ball, which was his first live performance as a solo artist.

The lyrics of the song take the form of a dark monologue directed towards an unnamed person:

I was there and I saw what you did
Saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin
I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies

Musically the song consists of a series of ominous chords played by a Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 over a simple drum machine pattern (the Roland CR-78 Disco-2 pattern, plus some programming); processed electric guitar sounds and vocoded vocals, an effect which is increased on key words to add additional atmosphere. The mood is one of restrained anger until the final chorus when an explosive burst of drums releases the musical tension, and the instrumentation builds to a thundering final chorus.

I love this song so very much.....and its maybe my favorite from Phil Collins.....

So here we go!!...and don't you dare touch that dial!!......its from the great Phil Collins......and its....."In The Air"

Long ago I dedicated this song to someone so very close to me.....and the feelings are summed in one line from the song....

"I have been waiting for this moment ......for all my life.....Oh Lord..."

Another from the Michelle Archives.....and one that moves me and stirs something inside me like few do.....

Its from the great Phil Collins.....from 1998......and its........"One More Night"

"One More Night" is the first single in America and second in the UK from Phil Collins' third album, "No Jacket Required".  It has also been released as the eleventh track on the 1998 compilation album, "Hits", as well as the third track on the 2004 compilation album, "Love Songs: A Compilation"... "Old and New". "One More Night" was Phil Collins' second US number-one single, following "Against All Odds", and was his fourth single to reach the top ten in the UK, peaking at number four on the singles chart. It was also his first number one on the adult contemporary chart.

Collins was playing around with his drum machine when he started saying the chorus of the song. He later recalled that "The rest of the song was written very quickly."  Its B-side in the UK was "I Like the Way", while the US received "The Man with the Horn".

The song's music video, directed by Jim Yukich, features Collins playing the piano in a downtown bar. It was filmed at a pub owned by Richard Branson in London (much like the video for Sussudio)"

For a part of the 1990s, the American Red Cross used the song for a public service announcement promoting their emergency shelters.

The song is featured in the opening moments of Martin Scorsese's 1986 film The Color of Money.

After Maroon 5 hit number 1 on the Hot 100 in 2012 with their own unrelated song titled "One More Night", the two songs became one of the rare pairs of songs with the same title to both hit number 1.

I love this song so much......and it ends with a saxophone solo that is so smooth as to not be believed......it can only only be felt.....

Phil Collins - "One More Night"

One more night, one more night
I've been trying, oh so long to let you know
Let you know how I feel
So if I stumble, if I fall, would you help me back
So I can make you see

Please give me one more night
Give me one more night
One more night
'Cause I can't wait forever

Give me just one more night
Ooh, just one more night
Oh, one more night
'Cause I can't wait forever

I've been sitting here so long, wasting time
Just staring at the phone
And I was wondering should I call you
Then I thought, maybe you're not alone

Please give me one more night
Give me one more night
Oh, one more night
'Cause I can't wait forever

Just give me just one more night
one more night
Oh, one more night
'Cause I can't wait forever

Give me one more night
Give me just one more night
Ooh, one more night
'Cause I can't wait forever

Like a river to the sea
I will always be with you
And if you sail away
I will follow you

Give me one more night
Give me just one more night
Oh, one more night
Coz I can't wait forever

I know there'll never be a time
You'll ever feel the same
And I know it's only words

But if you change your mind
You know that I'll be here
And maybe we both can learn

Give me just one more night
Give me just one more night
Ooh, one more night
'Cause I can't wait forever

Give me just one more night
Give me just one more night
Ooh, one more night
'Cause I can't wait forever


So here we go..and don't you dare touch that dial......its the great Phil Collins.....and...."One More Night"

I'm dedicating this song to a long time friend on here....one who no matter what....has always believed in me.....and if I ever needed him....he was always always there for me.....

I hope that friendship is still as important to him as it is to me right now :)

So....for all the years......I want to say thank you Red.....from the bottom of my silly heart :)  You have allowed me to see the guy...without his mask......and that has been an honor I can't describe with words......only music

"I know there'll never be a time
You'll ever feel the same
And I know it's only words"

"But if you change your mind
You know that I'll be here
And maybe we both can learn"

Have a great weekend folks...and try and even make it better than great :)

And try and give each other.....just one more night...

Another from the Michelle Archives.,...a fav song from one of my most favorite artists

Justin Timberlake......"JT"

and its from 2006 and is called........"What Goes Around Comes Around"...

"What Goes Around... Comes Around" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Justin Timberlake for his second studio album FutureSex/LoveSounds (2006). It was written and produced by Timberlake, Timbaland, and Danja. The song was said by Timberlake to be about betrayal and forgiveness, and was described by some music critics as a "sequel" to his 2002 single "Cry Me a River". The song received generally positive reviews from music critics.

The song was sent to United States radio on January 8, 2007, as the album's third single. It became Timberlake's third consecutive number one hit on the Billboard Hot 100. Internationally the song was also successful, reaching the top ten in countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, Germany, and Australia. The song was later certified two-times platinum in Australia, Gold in the United States and gold in New Zealand. The song received positive reviews from music critics. The song won Best Male Pop Vocal Performance at the 50th Grammy Awards, where it also received a nomination for Record of the Year.

The Samuel Bayer-directed music video was released February 7, 2007. Actress Scarlett Johansson plays Timberlake's love interest in the video. The video received the award for Best Direction at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards and was also nominated for Video of the Year.

The song was written and produced by Justin Timberlake, Timbaland, and Nate "Danja" Hills. While in the studio, the three men were just "fooling around" and "freestyling".  When Danja began playing a guitar riff, it caught Timberlake's attention. Timberlake started humming to the melody, and then the lyrics came. Timbaland, who was at his keyboards beside Danja, added drums to the melody. Danja commented that "everything was coming together at the same time".   After coming up with the music, Timberlake never wrote down the lyrics and, in an hour, he was ready to record it. By the time Timberlake was in the vocal booth, the basic track was done, then Timbaland produced a prelude of the song. Timberlake sang the song in a couple of takes and went back line by line to fill up the gaps. During the recording sessions, Timbaland and Danja added everything else, including the basses and strings. Danja compared the process to scoring to a movie, thinking the song was like a horror flick.

"What Goes Around... Comes Around" was pivotal to the creation of FutureSex/LoveSounds. After finishing the production of the song, Timbaland teased Timberlake. Timberlake responded: "Let's do something we would never do. Let's go far left and just see what happens."[3] His answer motivated the collective, and they ended up producing ten songs for the album.

Bring the unofficial President of the JT Fan Club - next to "Mirrors", which came out in 2013, I consider this his best work.  Its a song of lost love...regret...and healing...something we all can relate to.

So here we go....and don't you dare touch that dial!.....from the great Justin Timberlake....JT himself!...its...."What Goes Around Comes Around"

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

This can only be dedicated to me as I was fortunate to see JT perform this live in New York at Madison Square Garden in one of the best live concerts I have ever seen...

Another from the Michelle Archives....because I heard it this morning....and remembered what it mean to me..

Its from 1994 and Madonna....and its called......"Take a Bow".....

"Take a Bow" is a song by Madonna from her sixth studio album Bedtime Stories. Released as the second single from Bedtime Stories in December 6, 1994, the song appears on her compilation albums Something to Remember (1995), GHV2 (2001) and Celebration (2009). It was written and produced by Madonna and R&B singer-songwriter Babyface and became her longest-running number-one hit in the United States. It was her first single to reach number-one in the United States after "This Used to Be My Playground" (1992), and it was her last number-one song in the United States in the 1990s.

The music video for "Take a Bow" was directed by Michael Haussman in Ronda and the bullring of Antequera, Spain. The plot sees Madonna as a bullfighter's neglected lover, played by real-life Spanish bullfighter Emilio Muñoz, yearning for his presence. The video won Best Female Video honors at the 1995 MTV Video Music Awards. Madonna performed "Take a Bow" live with Babyface at the 1995 American Music Awards and at the 1995 San Remo Festival in Italy.

"Take A Bow"

Take a bow, the night is over
This masquerade is getting older
Light are low, the curtains down
There's no one here
(There's no one here, there's no one in the crowd)
Say your lines but do you feel them
Do you mean what you say when there's no one around (no one around)
Watching you, watching me, one lonely star
(One lonely star you don't know who you are)

[Chorus:]

I've always been in love with you (always with you)
I guess you've always known it's true (you know it's true)
You took my love for granted, why oh why
The show is over, say good-bye

Say good-bye (bye bye), say good-bye

Make them laugh, it comes so easy
When you get to the part
Where you're breaking my heart (breaking my heart)
Hide behind your smile, all the world loves a clown
(Just make 'em smile the whole world loves a clown)
Wish you well, I cannot stay
You deserve an award for the role that you played (role that you played)
No more masquerade, you're one lonely star
(One lonely star and you don't know who you are)

[chorus, repeat]

Say good-bye (bye bye), say good-bye

All the world is a stage (world is a stage)
And everyone has their part (has their part)
But how was I to know which way the story'd go
How was I to know you'd break
(You'd break, you'd break, you'd break)
You'd break my heart

I've always been in love with you
(I've always been in love with you)
Guess you've always known
You took my love for granted, why oh why
The show is over, say good-bye

[chorus]

Say good-bye (bye bye), say good-bye
Say good-bye

Another from the Michelle Archives....and one of THE greatest of all time.....

Its from Dire Straights....and 1978........and its....."The Sultans of Swing"...

"Sultans of Swing" was the first single release of the British rock band Dire Straits. Although it was first released in 1978, it was its 1979 re-release that caused it to become a hit in both the UK and USA.
The song was first recorded as a demo at Pathway Studios, North London, in July 1977, and quickly acquired a following after it was put on rotation at Radio London. Its popularity soon reached record executives and Dire Straits were offered a contract with Phonogram Records. The song was then re-recorded in early 1978 at Basing Street Studios for the band's debut album Dire Straits. The record company wanted a less-polished rock sound for the radio, so an alternative version was recorded at Pathway Studios in April 1978 and released as the single in some countries including the United Kingdom and Germany.

The song's lyrics were written by Mark Knopfler on a rainy day in a bar in Ipswich. Their inspiration came from his witnessing a mediocre jazz band playing in the corner of a practically deserted pub. At the end of their performance, the lead singer came up to the microphone and announced that they were the "Sultans of Swing."

The music for "Sultans of Swing" was composed by Mark Knopfler on a National Steel guitar in an open tuning, though Knopfler did not think very highly of it at first. As he remembered, "I thought it was dull, but as soon as I bought my first Strat in 1977, the whole thing changed, though the lyrics remained the same. It just came alive as soon as I played it on that ’61 Strat which remained my main guitar for many years and was basically the only thing I played on the first album and the new chord changes just presented themselves and fell into place."

The song was originally released in May of 1978, but it did not chart at the time. Following its re-issue in January 1979, the song entered the American music pop chart. Unusually, the success of this single release came more than six months after the relatively unheralded release of the band's debut album in October 1978. BBC Radio was initially unwilling to play the song due to its high lyrical content but after it became a U.S. hit, their line softened.  The song reached the top 10 in both the UK and the USA, reaching number 8 on the UK Singles Chart and number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and helped drive sales of the album, which also became a hit.

In my opinion..as a guitar player myself......Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits...IS THE greatest guitar player of all time.....this song firmly established him as that.....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jxsnIRpy2E

This is the longer version...performed with the great Eric Clapton....for the Nelson Mandella concert..
For great guitar work...it is untouchable!

So here we go...and don't you dare touch that dial!....its Dire Straits......and...."The Sultans of Swing"...

Enjoy everyone.....have a great weekend

Another from the Michelle Archives.,.....and one of my favorites from the great guitarist......Eric Clapton

Its from 1976....and its....."Cocaine"

"Cocaine" is a song written and recorded by JJ Cale in 1976, and also known as a cover version recorded by Eric Clapton. Allmusic calls the latter "among [Clapton's] most enduringly popular hits" and notes that "even for an artist like Clapton with a huge body of high-quality work, 'Cocaine' ranks among his best."

Glyn Johns, who had previously worked with The Who, Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones, produced the Clapton recording, which was released on the 1977 album Slowhand and as a single in 1980. The live version of "Cocaine", from the Just One Night album recorded in Tokyo, charted on the Billboard Hot 100 as the B-side of "Tulsa Time", which was a No. 30 hit in 1980. "Cocaine" was one of several of Cale's songs recorded by Clapton, including "After Midnight" and "Travelin' Light".

Another from the Michelle Archives....from one of my favorites...Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler....its from 1985.......

and its.........."Money for Nothing"........

"Money for Nothing" is a single by British rock band Dire Straits, taken from their 1985 album Brothers in Arms. It was one of Dire Straits' most successful singles, peaking at number one for three weeks in the United States, and it also reached number one for three weeks on the U.S. Mainstream Rock chart. In the band's native UK, the song peaked at number four. The recording was notable for its controversial lyrics, groundbreaking music video and cameo appearance by Sting singing the song's falsetto introduction and backing chorus, "I want my MTV." The video was also the first to be aired on MTV Europe when the network started on 1 August 1987.

"Money for Nothing" won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 1986 at the 28th Grammy Awards.

During the recording of "Money for Nothing", the signature sound of Knopfler's guitar may have been enhanced by a "happy accident" of microphone placement. Knopfler was using his Gibson Les Paul going through a Laney amplifier. While setting up the guitar amplifier microphones in an effort to get the "ZZ Top sound" that Knopfler was after, guitar tech Ron Eve, who was in the control room, heard the "amazing" sound before Dorfsman was finished arranging the mics. "One mic was pointing down at the floor," Dorfsman remembered, "another was not quite on the speaker, another was somewhere else, and it wasn't how I would want to set things up—it was probably just left from the night before, when I'd been preparing things for the next day and had not really finished the setup."  What they heard was exactly what ended up on the record; no additional processing or effects were used during the mix.

While I'm still more a fan maybe of "Sultans of Swing"....this song is awesome and brings out the best in Knopfler's guitar work.  These guys just rock and always will :)

This recording is live from Wembley in 1985...

So here we go....its one of the best of all time...Dire Straits and the greatest guitar player ever!!...Mark Knopfler.......

Another from the Michelle Archives...and one of my favs......its from Eric Clapton....and the MTV Unplugged Series......

and its......"Layla"......

Unplugged is a live album by Eric Clapton released in 1992.  It was recorded live in England for the MTV Unplugged series and includes both the hit single "Tears in Heaven" and a heavily reworked acoustic version of "Layla".  Clapton was accompanied by Mark Knopfler during most of these sessions.
Clapton performed the show in front of a small audience on 16 January 1992 at Bray Film Studios in Windsor, England. In addition to the final album tracks, the performance included early versions of "My Father's Eyes" and "Circus Left Town" along with "Worried Life Blues" and an impromptu version of "Rollin' and Tumblin'".  Clapton played a Martin 000-42 acoustic guitar for much of this performance, and in 2004, the guitar sold for US$791,500 (£434,400) in auction.

Clapton earned six Grammy Awards for the album including Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, Best Rock Male Vocal Performance and Best Rock Song.  "Tears in Heaven" earned three of the six awards.  The album reached number one on the Billboard 200, and has been certified Diamond by the RIAA for shipping over 10 million copies in the United States.  In 2000 Q magazine placed Unplugged at number 71 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums. In October 2011, the album was ranked number nine (between Iron Maiden's Fear of the Dark and Stone Temple Pilots' Core) on Guitar World magazine's top ten list of guitar albums of 1992.
Commenting on the popularity of the album in his 2007 autobiography, Clapton wishes the reader to understand its great emotional toll he experienced around that time, and suggests that they visit the grave of his son Conor in Ripley to do so.

So here we go....its from Eric Clapton....with Mark Knopfler.....from 1992.....its MTV's Unplugged Series.....and........"Layla"...

Another from the Michelle Archives....and one of the most beautiful you'll ever hear.....its from Eric Clapton....and its...."Wonderful Tonight".....

This version he plays with Mark Knopfler...but its all Clapton in one of his most signature songs.  This recording was made on Clapton's 25th anniversary tour in September 1988 in San Francisco.

"Wonderful Tonight" is a ballad written by Eric Clapton. It was included on Clapton's 1977 album Slowhand. Clapton wrote the song about Pattie Boyd, and it is mentioned in her autobiographical book Wonderful Tonight: George Harrison, Eric Clapton, and Me. The song was a modest hit upon its release, charting at #16 Billboard Hot 100 and #39 Adult Contemporary in the US and #30 in the UK.

On 7 September 1976, Clapton wrote "Wonderful Tonight" for Boyd while waiting for her to get ready to attend Paul and Linda McCartney's annual Buddy Holly party. Of "Wonderful Tonight", Boyd would say: "For years it tore at me. To have inspired Eric, and George before him, to write such music was so flattering. 'Wonderful Tonight' was the most poignant reminder of all that was good in our relationship, and when things went wrong it was torture to hear it."

In 1988, Clapton appeared in the Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Tribute concert as a guest guitarist for Dire Straits. The group became his backing musicians for a surprise performance of "Wonderful Tonight" during their set.

It was also featured in "The One With the Proposal Part 2" (18 May 2000) in season 6 of the famous TV show Friends. It shows Monica and Chandler dancing to it at the end of the episode after getting engaged.

Clapton and Steve Winwood performed an acoustic version of the song during their 2011 tour in Japan.

Another from the Michelle Archives.....its from 1988 and the great Eric Clapton...and accompanied by my guitar hero...Mark Knopfler.....its..

"Lay Down Sally".....

Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler performed this live during Clapton's 25th Anniversary Tour in Shoreline Amphitheatre, Mountain View, San Francisco, USA - 21st September 1988

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-5J3j6JEtw&list=PLE742AEE979111F1C

"Lay Down Sally" is a song performed by Eric Clapton, and written by Clapton, Marcella Detroit (as Marcy Levy, the dimunitive form of her birth name), and George Terry. It appeared on his November 1977 album Slowhand, and reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It is a country blues performed in the style of J. J. Cale and Clapton also attributed other members of his band like Carl Radle of Oklahoma, George Terry, Jamie Oldaker and other members of the band as influencing the song. Clapton explained, "It's as close as I can get, being English, but the band being a Tulsa band, they play like that naturally. You couldn't get them to do an English rock sound, no way. Their idea of a driving beat isn't being loud or anything. It's subtle."

The single was a crossover country music hit, reaching No. 26 in April 1978, Clapton's best showing on that chart.

So don't you dare touch that dial!...its Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler.....doing......"Lay Down Sally"

Seeing these two on stage.....it just doesn't get any better than this!

Another from the Michelle Archives.....its from the great Eric Clapton...accompanied by Mark Knopfler on guitar...and its.....

...."After Midnight".......

Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler performed this live during Claptons 25th Anniversary Tour in Shoreline Amphitheatre, Mountain View, San Francisco, USA - 21st September 1988.

"After Midnight" is a rock song written by JJ Cale, which was later successfully covered by Eric Clapton. The laid back boogie feel of "After Midnight" is a prime example of Cale's signature style. Cale had written the song and released a demo version in 1966.
"After Midnight" was also in many ways the catalyst for Cale's own solo recording career. Cale was unaware of Clapton's recording of the song until it became a radio hit in 1970. He recalled to Mojo magazine that when he heard Clapton’s version playing on his radio, “I was dirt poor, not making enough to eat and I wasn’t a young man. I was in my thirties, so I was very happy. It was nice to make some money.”   Cale's friend and producer Audie Ashworth then encouraged him to capitalize on the song's success by recording a full album, Naturally, released in 1972. The single by Cale reached #42 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1972.

When Eric Clapton was working with Delaney & Bonnie Bramlett, Delaney Bramlett introduced Eric to the music of J.J. Cale.   "After Midnight" was the first of several J.J. Cale cover songs released by Clapton and appeared on his self-titled debut album. It peaked at #18 in late 1970.  The performers on this version were Clapton on vocals and guitar, Bobby Whitlock on organ and vocals, Jim Gordon on drums, Delaney Bramlett on rhythm guitar, Carl Radle on bass, Leon Russell on piano, Jim Price on trumpet, and Bobby Keys on saxophone.

In 1987, Clapton re-recorded the song for use in a successful Michelob beer commercial, reaching #4 in the Billboard Mainstream Rock airplay chart.  Another live version was released on Live from Madison Square Garden with Steve Winwood on organ.

Its from Eric Clapton with Mark Knopfler.....its from 1988.....and its......."I Shot The Sheriff".....

One of Clapton's greatest hall of fame hits :)

In this performance...we have the two great hall of Fame guitar players...Clapton and Mark Knopfler, formerly and best known for his time as lead with Dire Straits.

Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler performed this live during Clapton's 25th Anniversary Tour in Shoreline Amphitheatre, Mountain View, San Francisco, USA - 21st September 1988.

"I Shot The Sheriff" is a song written by Bob Marley, told from the point of view of a narrator who admits to having killed the local sheriff, and claims to be falsely accused of having killed the deputy sheriff. The narrator also claims to have acted in self-defense when the sheriff tried to shoot him. The song was first released in 1973 on The Wailers' album Burnin'. Marley explained his intention as follows: "I want to say 'I shot the police' but the government would have made a fuss so I said 'I shot the sheriff' instead… but it's the same idea: justice

Clapton recorded a cover version that was included on his 1974 album, 461 Ocean Boulevard. It is the most successful version of the song, peaking at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2003, Clapton's version was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame

So here we go....and don't you dare touch that dial!...its Eric Clapton with Mark Knopfler accompanying.....from 1988....

Its...."I Shot The Sheriff"

Another from the Michelle Archives....

Its from 1978 and Gerry Rafferty......and its...."Right Down The Line"....

Gerald "Gerry" Rafferty (16 April 1947 – 4 January 2011) was a Scottish singer-songwriter best known for his solo hits "Baker Street" and "Right Down the Line", and for "Stuck in the Middle with You", done with the band Stealers Wheel.

Rafferty was born into a working-class family in Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland. His mother taught him both Irish and Scottish folk songs as a boy; later, he was influenced by the music of The Beatles and Bob Dylan. He joined the folk-pop group The Humblebums in 1969. After they disbanded in 1971, he recorded his first solo album, Can I Have My Money Back? Rafferty and Joe Egan formed the group Stealers Wheel in 1972, producing several hits, most notably "Stuck in the Middle with You". In 1978, he recorded his second solo album, "City to City", which included "Baker Street", his most popular song, and "Right Down The Line".

"Right Down the Line" reached number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and spent four non-consecutive weeks at number one on the Easy Listening chart in the U.S., making this the only Rafferty song to ever reach number one on any US chart.

The lyrics are priceless in this song.....they are what makes it for me....my favorite part is...

I just wanna say this is my way
Of telling you everything I could never say before
Yeah, this is my way of telling you that everyday
Im loving you so much more

If I should doubt myself if Im losing ground
I wont turn to someone else, theyd only let me down
When I wanted you to share my life, I had no doubt in my mind
And its been you, woman, right down the line

So here we go!...and don't you dare touch that dial.....its Gerry Rafferty.....and....."Right Down The Line"

This is for Harper.....its been 5 months since we really met in Poland......and its been wonderful...

Another from the Michelle Archives...and a bit different maybe,,,

Its a concert that occurred in Sept 1997 and was called "Music for Monserrat"...

Music For Montserrat was a concert held on 15 September 1997 at the Royal Albert Hall. Musicians came together to raise funds for the Caribbean island of Montserrat after a major volcanic eruption by the Soufrière Hills volcano earlier that year left the island, including its capital of Plymouth, devastated. The concert starred musicians such as Phil Collins, Ray Cooper, Carl Perkins, Jimmy Buffett, Mark Knopfler, Sting, Elton John, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Midge Ure, Arrow and many more, all of whom had once recorded at the island's famous AIR Studios. A DVD was released with the most famous songs from the concert, such as Your Song, Layla, Brothers In Arms, Blue Suede Shoes, Yesterday, Hey Jude, and Message In A Bottle.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6D6cw8Ob2sk

The highlight for me as the playing of "Money for Nothing" by Sting, Mark Knopfler, Phil Collins and Eric Clapton

"Money for Nothing" is a single by British rock band Dire Straits, taken from their 1985 album Brothers in Arms. It was one of Dire Straits' most successful singles, peaking at number one for three weeks in the United States, and it also reached number one for three weeks on the U.S. Mainstream Rock chart. In the band's native UK, the song peaked at number four. The recording was notable for its controversial lyrics, groundbreaking music video and cameo appearance by Sting singing the song's falsetto introduction and backing chorus, "I want my MTV." The video was also the first to be aired on MTV Europe when the network started on 1 August 1987.

So here we go..and don't you dare touch that dial..its Knopfler and Sting and Clapton and Collins.....and

"Money for Nothing"

Another from the Michelle Archives.....and as a guitar player.....its close to my anthem.....

Its from 1971 and the group....... Led Zeppelin.........its called.........."Stairway to Heaven".....

"Stairway to Heaven" is a song by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, released in late 1971. It was composed by guitarist Jimmy Page and vocalist Robert Plant for the band's untitled fourth studio album (often referred to as Led Zeppelin IV). It is often referred to as one of the greatest rock songs of all time.

The song, running eight minutes and two seconds, is composed of several sections which increase in tempo and volume as the song progresses. The song begins as a slow acoustic-based folk song accompanied by recorders before electric instrumentation is introduced. The final section is an uptempo hard rock section highlighted by an intricate guitar solo by Page and Plant's wailing vocals, ending with Plant's a cappella delivery of the final line: "And she's buying a Stairway to Heaven".

"Stairway to Heaven" was voted #3 in 2000 by VH1 on its list of the 100 Greatest Rock Songs and was placed at number 31 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time". It was the most requested song on FM radio stations in the United States in the 1970s, despite never having been officially released as a single there.  In November 2007, through download sales promoting Led Zeppelin's Mothership release, "Stairway to Heaven" hit No. 37 on the UK Singles Chart.

Technical Boring Shit for Guitar Players -

The song consists of several distinct sections, beginning with a quiet introduction on a finger picked six string guitar and four recorders in a Renaissance music style[16] (ending at 2:15) and gradually moving into a slow electric middle section (2:16–5:33), then a long guitar solo (5:34–6:44), before the faster hard rock final section (6:45 to 7:45), ending with a short vocals-only epilogue. Plant sings the opening, middle and epilogue sections in his mid vocal range, but sings the hard rock section in his higher range which borders on falsetto.

Written in the key of A minor, the song opens with an arpeggiated, finger-picked guitar chord progression with a chromatic descending bassline A-G#-G-F#-F-E. John Paul Jones contributed overdubbed wooden bass recorders in the opening section (he used a Mellotron and, later, a Yamaha CP70B Grand Piano and Yamaha GX1 to synthesise this arrangement in live performances)[14] and a Hohner Electra-Piano electric piano in the middle section.

The sections build with more guitar layers, each complementary to the intro, with the drums entering at 4:18. The extended Jimmy Page guitar solo in the song's final section was played for the recording on a 1959 Fender Telecaster given to him by Jeff Beck (an instrument he used extensively with the Yardbirds)[14] plugged into a Supro amplifier,  although in an interview he gave to Guitar World magazine, Page also claimed, "It could have been a Marshall, but I can't remember".  Three different improvised solos were recorded, with Page agonising about deciding which to keep. Page later revealed, "I did have the first phrase worked out, and then there was the link phrase. I did check them out beforehand before the tape ran." The other guitar parts were played using a Harmony Sovereign H1260 acoustic guitar and a Fender Electric XII guitar (a 12-string guitar that was plugged directly to the soundboard); these can be heard on the left and right recording channels respectively. For live versions, Page switched to a Heritage Cherry Gibson EDS-1275 6/12 Doubleneck guitar. The final progression is a i-VII-VI (natural minor) progression (Am-G-F), a mainstay of rock music.

Its My Guitar Hero...... Jimmy Page....at his very best!

Another from the Michelle Archives...after a long sabbatical

Its a blast from the past....its from Jefferson Airplane   and from 1967...its......the wonderfully weird....."White Rabbit"...

"White Rabbit" is a song from Jefferson Airplane's 1967 album Surrealistic Pillow. It was released as a single and became the band's second top ten success, peaking at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was ranked #478 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time,#87 on Rate Your Music's Top Singles of All Time, and appears on The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll
The name White Rabbit has also been described as a nickname for counterculture era figure Owsley Stanley

One of Grace Slick's earliest songs, written during either late 1965 or early 1966, uses imagery found in the fantasy works of Lewis Carroll: 1865's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its 1871 sequel Through the Looking-Glass, such as changing size after taking pills or drinking an unknown liquid. It is commonly thought that these are also references to the hallucinatory effects of psychedelic drugs, such as LSD and psilocybin mushrooms. Characters referenced include Alice, the hookah-smoking caterpillar, the White Knight, the Red Queen, and the Dormouse.
For Slick and others in the 1960s, drugs were a part of mind-expanding and social experimentation. With its enigmatic lyrics, "White Rabbit" became one of the first songs to sneak drug references past censors on the radio. Even Marty Balin, Slick's eventual rival in Jefferson Airplane, regarded the song as a "masterpiece". In interviews, Slick has related that Alice in Wonderland was often read to her as a child and remained a vivid memory into her adult years.

While the Red Queen and the White Knight are both mentioned in the song, the references differ from Lewis Carroll's original text, wherein the White Knight does not talk backwards and it is the Queen of Hearts, not the Red Queen, who says "Off with her head!"
The last lines of the song are: "Remember what the Dormouse said. Feed your head. Feed your head." Although commonly interpreted as quoting the Dormouse, the lines may instead refer to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter XI: "Who Stole the Tarts", wherein a very nervous Mad Hatter is called to testify:

'But what did the Dormouse say?' one of the jury asked.
'That I can't remember', said the Hatter.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ug2EcWkb26I

White Rabbit/ Go Ask Alice

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she’s ten feet tall

And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell them a hookah smoking caterpillar has given you the call
Call Alice

When she was just small

When the men on the chess board
get up and tell you where to go
And you just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving slow
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know

When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the white knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "Off with her head!"
Remember what the dormouse said

Feed your head
Feed your head

I love this song....I am not always sure why....my father would play this all the time in the car when I was little...and it just stuck with me....

So here we go stoners!!...and don't you DARE tough that dial!!...Its from Jefferson Starship.....and 1967...its...."White Rabbit"...

Have a great weekend everyone....and make it better for those around you...

Another from the Michelle Archives....and something completely different...

One of my favorite orchestra pieces of all time......and a wonderfully beautiful piece of work...its Ravels Bolero

Boléro is a one-movement orchestral piece by Maurice Ravel (1875–1937). Originally composed as a ballet commissioned by Russian actress and dancer Ida Rubinstein, the piece, which premiered in 1928, is Ravel's most famous musical composition.  Before Boléro, Ravel had composed large scale ballets (such as Daphnis et Chloé, composed for the Ballets Russes 1909–1912), suites for the ballet (such as the second orchestral version of Ma Mère l'Oye, 1912), and one-movement dance pieces (such as La Valse, 1906–1920).

Boléro epitomises Ravel's preoccupation with restyling and reinventing dance movements. It was also one of the last pieces he composed before illness forced him into retirement: the two piano concertos and the Don Quichotte à Dulcinée song cycle were the only compositions that followed Boléro.

The composition was a sensational success when it was premiered at the Paris Opéra on 22 November 1928, with choreography by Bronislava Nijinska and designs by Alexandre Benois. The orchestra of the Opéra was conducted by Walther Straram; Ernest Ansermet had originally been engaged to conduct during the entire ballet season, but the musicians refused to play under him.  A scenario by Rubinstein and Nijinska was printed in the program for the premiere:

Inside a tavern in Spain, people dance beneath the brass lamp hung from the ceiling. In response to the cheers to join in, the female dancer has leapt onto the long table and her steps become more and more animated.

Ravel himself, however, had a different conception of the work: his preferred stage design was of an open-air setting with a factory in the background, reflecting the mechanical nature of the music

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwLABSm0yYc

So here we go..and don't you dare touch that dial!...its Ravel's Bolero.....just imagine sitting in the orchestra pit at the New York Philharmonic...and taking this in.....or wherever your heart desires......its simply breathtaking :)

I dedicate this to my good friend....GoldenGirl.......Aldine...you are simply the best :)

Another from the Michelle Archives.....and my favorite...and the greatest guitar song of all time.....from the greatest group in my archives...

Its from Dire Straits.....and a special recording from 1983 called "Alchemy Live"....the song is......"Sultans of Swing"

Alchemy: Dire Straits Live is a double album and the first live album by the British rock band Dire Straits, released on 14 March 1984 by Vertigo Records internationally, and by Warner Bros. Records in the United States. Recorded at the Hammersmith Odeon in London on 22–23 July 1983, the album features the band's best-known and fan-favourite songs from their first four albums, the ExtendedancEPlay EP, and the Local Hero soundtrack (composed by Mark Knopfler); many of the songs have reworked arrangements and/or extended improvisational segments. The album cover is taken from a painting by Brett Whiteley. Alchemy: Dire Straits Live was remastered and re-released on 8 May 2001.

Being an avid guitar player....in many ways I was inspired my Mark Knopfler...and this early recording of this iconic song by Dire Straits....shows the band its its heyday....and at their very best!

The album cover artwork was adapted from a section of a painting by Brett Whiteley titled Alchemy 1974.[2] Alchemy is a hypothetical process once believed to turn ordinary elements into gold. The image of a guitar with lips held by a hand was added for the album design. The original painting, done between 1972 and 1973, was composed of many different elements and on 18 wood panels 203 cm x 1615 cm x 9 cm. In terms of media it used everything from feathers and part of a bird's nest to a glass eye, shell, plugs and brain in a work that becomes a transmutation of sexual organic landscapes and mindscapes. It has been regarded as a self-portrait, a giant outpouring of energy and ideas brought forth over a long period of time.

Another from the Michelle Archives....and one my Dad said he smoke more weed to than any song every recorded...

Its from the great group of the 60's.....Jefferson Airplane with Grace Slick....its 1967...and its....

"Somebody to Love"

This is a follow-up to my other Jefferson Airplane favorite....one I posted earlier...."White Rabbit"

Somebody to Love" is a rock song that was written by Darby Slick and originally recorded by 1960s folk rock band The Great Society and later by the psychedelic counterculture rock band Jefferson Airplane. Rolling Stone magazine ranked Jefferson Airplane's version No. 274 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

When Grace Slick departed to join Jefferson Airplane, she took this song with her, bringing it to the Surrealistic Pillow sessions, along with her own composition "White Rabbit". Subsequently, the Airplane's more ferocious rock and roll version became the band's first and biggest success; the single by Jefferson Airplane scored at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100

"Somebody to Love" was also a track on their influential album released in February 1967, Surrealistic Pillow. Driven by Slick's forceful vocal, the song's hard-rock sound was atypical of the group's more folk-oriented psychedelia that comprised most of their previous style and some of the album. The lyrics are in the second person, with each two-line verse setting a scene of alienation and despair, and the chorus repeating the title of the song, with slight variations such as: "... / Don't you need somebody to love? / Wouldn't you love somebody to love? / ..." Like the album on which it appeared, this song was instrumental in publicizing the existence of the Haight-Ashbury counterculture to the rest of the United States.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIkoSPqjaU4

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EdLasOrG6c - performed at Woodstock (1969) - AWESOME!

Not many could pound it out like Grace Slick could!

Another from the Michelle Archives Salute to Woodstock..

Its from on of my all time favs......Santana......from 1969...its......"Evil Ways"

"Evil Ways" is a song made famous by the band Santana from their 1969 album, "Santana." It was written by Clarence "Sonny" Henry and originally recorded by jazz percussionist Willie Bobo on his 1967 album, Bobo Motion. Alongside Santana's release in 1969, "Evil Ways" was also recorded by the band The Village Callers. The lyrics of the song are written in simple verse form,

Released as a single in late 1969, it became Santana's first top 40 and top 10 hit in the U.S., peaking at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. Gregg Rolie performs the lead vocals and plays a Hammond organ solo in the middle section. The double-time coda includes a guitar solo performed by Carlos Santana.

"Evil Ways" is about a girl who is spiteful: "You've got to change your evil ways, baby/Before I stop lovin' you." She neglects her boyfriend by spending time with her friends instead of him. "You hang around, baby/with Jean and Joan and-a who-knows-who."

Another from the Michelle Archive's Salute to Woodstock....

This is from one of my guitar heros....the great Carlos Santana...

Its Santana.....and 1968........and their iconic hit......"Black Magic Woman"......


"Black Magic Woman" is a song written by Peter Green that first appeared as a Fleetwood Mac single in various countries in 1968, subsequently appearing on the 1969 Fleetwood Mac compilation albums English Rose (US) and The Pious Bird of Good Omen (UK), as well as Vintage Years. In 1970, it became a classic hit by Santana, as sung by Gregg Rolie, reaching No. 4 in the U.S. and Canadian charts, after appearing on their Abraxas album, becoming more closely associated with Santana than Fleetwood Mac. In 2005 the song was covered by ex-Thin Lizzy guitarist Snowy White on his album The Way It Is. In 1996, the song was also covered by Gary Hoey on his album Bug Alley.

The 1:49 instrumental at the end is called "Gypsy Queen," and was written by Hungarian Jazz guitarist Gabor Szabo. It was omitted from 1974's Santana's Greatest Hits album, even though radio stations usually play "Black Magic Woman" and "Gypsy Queen" as one song.

The instrumental/guitar riff at the end is as good as it gets and is vintage Santana.....for stoners and guitar fans alike...it just does not get any better.  If you have never heard Santana's "Abraxas" album.....it doesn't matter your age or taste in music.....if you don't own "Abraxas"...something is just really wrong :)

Another from the Michelle Archives as I begin a salute to one of the greatest groups of all time.....Fleetwood Mac

This is from the awesome "Rumors" album....its from 1976.....and its...."The Chain"...

"The Chain" is a song from Fleetwood Mac's best-selling album Rumours. The only song credited to all five members of the Rumours-era lineup - Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, Christine McVie, John McVie and Mick Fleetwood - "The Chain" was created from combinations of several previously rejected materials, including solo work by Buckingham, Nicks and Christine McVie. It was assembled - sometimes manually by splicing tapes with a razor blade - at the Record Plant in Sausalito, California, with hired engineers Ken Caillat and Richard Dashut.  Following the critical and commercial success of Rumours, "The Chain" has been featured on The Dance, a 1997 live concert CD/DVD package, as well as several Greatest Hits compilations. It attained particular fame in the United Kingdom, where it is used as the theme tune for the BBC's Formula One coverage programme Grand Prix.

Rumours garnered widespread critical acclaim upon its release. Subsequent analysis of "The Chain" has also led many to cite it as one of the most evocative expressions of the internal fracture between various band members at the time. Buckingham and Nicks were ending their relationship at the same time that John and Christine McVie's marriage broke down, as did that of Fleetwood and his wife Jenny Boyd.  In 1997, Fleetwood Mac released a live concert CD/DVD package called The Dance, which featured the reunion of the Rumours-era Fleetwood Mac members. The rendition of "The Chain" reached number 30 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. It has also appeared on The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac and 25 Years - The Chain

So here we go...and don't you dare touch that dial....its Fleetwood Mac.....from 1976....its...."The Chain".....

Another from the Michelle Archives......from Fleetwood Mac...from 1979....its the iconic......"Tusk"

For most of Fleetwood Mac’s life, the band has been a hits machine, and it used that reputation to propel a singularly weird song—one vastly different from its usual output—into the Billboard top 10 in 1979. “Tusk,” which is featured prominently and often in the première of FX’s The Americans tonight, is a work of strange savagery, overlaid with jungle sounds and a thudding, endlessly repetitive drum riff that drives everything that happens in the song. The lyrics are simple enough to be a Dr. Seuss exploration of a relationship that’s crumbling, Lindsey Buckingham softly crooning “Why don’t you ask him if he going to stay? / Why don’t you ask him if he’s going away?” over the horrors building up beneath him.

It all explodes in the chorus, when Buckingham and backing vocalists Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie hiss “Don’t say that you love me!” to the unseen addressee, while the USC Trojan Marching Band’s urgent backing music heads off in another direction entirely. It’s a song at odds with itself, the various voices all tugging at the tune in different directions until everything unites when the vocalists scream the song’s title, an enigmatic moment that means… what, exactly? This relationship was doomed to begin with? These people are going to kill each other eventually? All love has violence inside of it somewhere? That “Tusk” is able to suggest all three of these things—and also have elements of wounded tenderness inside of it—makes it one of Fleetwood Mac’s very best, yet also easily its strangest song to hit on the charts.

Another from the Michelle Archives and my salute to Fleetwood Mac...its from 1975.....and its....."Landslide".....

"Landslide" is a song written by Stevie Nicks and performed by British-American music group Fleetwood Mac. It was first featured on the band's 1975 eponymous album Fleetwood Mac. Along with "Rhiannon", it would be Nicks' first original contribution to the band upon joining. A live version was released as a single 23 years later from the live reunion album The Dance. This version reached #51 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and #10 on the Adult Contemporary chart. "Landslide" was certified Gold in October 2009 for sales of over 500,000 copies in the U.S. According to fleetwoodmacnews.com, "Landslide" has sold 1,315,950 copies in the U.S. as of February 2013

Nicks has said that she wrote this song while she was contemplating going back to school or continuing on professionally with guitarist Lindsey Buckingham. Their album Buckingham Nicks had been dropped by Polydor Records and she and Buckingham were not getting along. She wrote the song while visiting Aspen, Colorado, sitting in someone's living room "looking out at the Rocky Mountains pondering the avalanche of everything that had come crashing down on us ... at that moment, my life truly felt like a landslide in many ways"

This one of my favorite songs of all time....its one when it was snowing all those days in New York I would sit on the inside window sill of my picture window of our apartment facing Central Park and I would listen to it a lot.  Stevie Nicks is fantastic in this and its maybe her best work.  Her vocals are in many ways haunting but not in what one would call "haunting" in a bad sense.

Another from the Michelle Archives ...its from the great Fleetwood Mac......and 1981.......its "Hold Me"....

"Hold Me" is a single by British-American rock group Fleetwood Mac. The song was the first track to be released from the 1982 album Mirage, the fourth album by the band with Lindsey Buckingham acting as main producer with Richard Dashut and Ken Caillat.

"Hold Me" was written by Christine McVie and Robbie Patton and it became one of Fleetwood Mac's biggest hits in the USA. Released there in July 1982, it peaked at #4 for seven consecutive weeks.

In the UK, "Hold Me" was not a successful single. It was first released there in June 1982 and failed to chart. It became a quite popular radio hit however, and it was eventually re-issued in February 1989 to promote the group's 1988 Greatest Hits package with "No Questions Asked" as the B-side. It only reached #94.

The song is also included on the 2002 USA version, and 2009 UK re-issue of the album The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac.

The music video for Hold Me features the band in a surreal scenario set in a desert based on several René Magritte paintings. In the video, Christine is in a room with many paintings, searching for Lindsey in the desert with a telescope. Lindsey discovers Stevie lying on a chaise longue and paints her, while in other scenes John and Mick are archaeologists. The desert itself is littered with broken mirrors, which serve as a motif in the video, and with violins and the electric guitars and other instruments. The video can be seen here.

Due to the band members' strained relationships at the time, the video shoot in the Mojave Desert was "a fucking nightmare" according to producer Simon Fields. "[They] were, um, not easy to work with" agrees Steve Barron, who directed the clip. "It was so hot, and we weren't getting along" recalls Stevie Nicks. Lindsey Buckingham was still not over their breakup six years earlier, nor her subsequent affair with Mick Fleetwood. Further, she elaborates, the rest of the band was angry with Fleetwood because he had then begun an affair with Nicks's best friend, who left her husband as a result, causing serious issues for Nicks.

"Four of them—I can't recall which four—couldn't be together in the same room for very long. They didn't want to be there", says Barron. "Christine McVie was about ten hours out of the makeup trailer. By which time it was getting dark." According to Fields, "John McVie was drunk and tried to punch me. Stevie Nicks didn't want to walk on the sand with her platforms. Christine McVie was fed up with all of them. Mick thought she was being a bitch, he wouldn't talk to her."

All the problems aside...this song features that combined melody of Nicks, McVie and Buckingham that was indeed special.  Nicks and McVie "Hold Me" vocals are haunting as is certainly Nicks one-of-a-kind voice but the melding of the three is awesome.

Another from the Michelle Archives....and the greatest band of all time....Dire Straits!...its...."Telegraph Road"...

As much as I love "Sultans of Swing"...this might be my favorite Dire Straits song.

"Telegraph Road" is a song by British rock band Dire Straits and written by Mark Knopfler. It appeared on their 1982 album Love over Gold. Clocking in at 14:18 minutes long, it is rarely played by radio stations, yet has remained highly regarded over the years.

It was first played live at the opening concert of their "Making Movies" Australian tour (Perth Entertainment Centre, 22 March 1981) as the final encore.

The band played a slightly shorter version of the song on their 1984 album Alchemy: Dire Straits Live and a remixed version of that performance was included in their 1988 greatest hits album Money for Nothing. The original studio album version was included as the opening track on The Best of Dire Straits & Mark Knopfler: Private Investigations

Inspired by a bus trip taken by Knopfler, the lyrics narrate a tale of changing land development over a span of many decades along Telegraph Road in suburban Detroit, Michigan. In the latter verses, Knopfler focuses on one man's personal struggle with unemployment after the city built around the telegraph road has become uninhabited and barren just as it began.

In an interview on RockLine, a "rock radio network" call-in show, broadcast live on 10 May 1983, Mark Knopfler said, while on tour, he... "in fact was driving down that road and I was reading a book at the time called Growth of the Soil [by the Norwegian author Knut Hamsun], and I just put the two together. I was driving down this Telegraph Road... and it just went on and on and on forever, it's like what they call linear development. And I just started to think, I wondered how that road must have been when it started, what it must have first been. And then really that's how it all came about yeah, I just put that book together and the place where I was, I was actually sitting in the front of the tour bus at the time."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8sLmx2Oz6Y
This is the video of the song being played as part of their wonderful Alchemy Live concert.

So here we go...and don't you dare touch that dial!...its Dire Straits with my guitar hero...Mark Knopfler....

Another from the Michelle Archives.....from the greatest band in history.....Dire Straits.....its... "Tunnel of Love"...

"Tunnel of Love" is a 1980 rock song by Dire Straits. It appears on the album Making Movies, and subsequently on the live albums Alchemy and Live at the BBC and the greatest hits albums Money for Nothing, Sultans of Swing: The Very Best of Dire Straits, and The Best of Dire Straits & Mark Knopfler: Private Investigations.

It reached the position of only #54 in the UK Singles Chart upon its single release in October 1981, despite being one of the band's most famous and popular songs. Two music videos exist for the song, one depicting Mark Knopfler, John Illsley and Pick Withers performing on a blank set, intercut with imagery and actors relevant to the lyrics, the other featuring a larger band arrangement and telling the story of a couple escaping a group of soldiers who chase them from a funfair.

The Spanish City in the song was a fairground located in Whitley Bay, part of the North Sea coast to the north-east of Newcastle upon Tyne, one train stop along from Cullercoats as mentioned in the song. The term "Rockaway" references Rockaway Beach in New York City, the location of the Rockaways' Playland amusement park. In 1980s concerts, Dire Straits played the central theme of The Animals' "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" during an extended instrumental introduction to the song, as Knopfler talked about that group's hometown of Newcastle. Knopfler's outro solo has received numerous plaudits over the years:

"Throughout "Tunnel of Love," Mark Knopfler dramatizes this close encounter by using his guitar as a Greek chorus. [...] Later, as Knopfler walks alone through the "carousel and the carnival arcades," waiting for another night and another girl, he wraps his voice like a ratty old raincoat around Bittan's gently tinkling piano and the long guitar solo that ends the track. Somehow, the evocative moan of the artist's guitar suggests a truth much deeper than the carnival-as-life metaphor has revealed."

'Tunnel of Love' is the sprawling set piece of the band's third album, an eight-minute epic that ends with Knopfler's all-time greatest guitar solo!   When I say its his greatest.....I mean his GREATEST!

This is one I love playing on the Fretlight with the band...its pure guitar!

You asked for it.....here it is.......

My Top 12 'Dire Strait's Songs

And yes, I said top 12 songs, not 10.  I could not leave 2 out and since its my convoluted list, by God it should have 12.

'Sultans of Swing'
From: 'Dire Straits' (1978)
 
The song that got be to take up playing the guitar so its a sentimental favorite.  My Fretlight has played this more times than I can count.  Dire Straits had little more than a demo and a few gigs behind them when they released their self-titled debut album in 1978. And for the most part, that record shows their relative inexperience. Besides a few cuts, it's filled mostly with forgettable guitar-based jams and the skeletal frames of half-thought-out songs. But their debut single, 'Sultans of Swing,' is a masterwork of precisely pointed guitar, a ringing rhythm section and late-night cool. It earned Knopfler a gig with Bob Dylan and put the band in the history books.

'Money for Nothing'
From: 'Brothers in Arms' (1985)
 
Ironically, Dire Straits' biggest hit (and only No. 1) -- a take-down of MTV and its building up of disposable pop stars -- was a massive hit on the music-video network and made the band temporary pop stars. With a hook sung by fellow British serious-artist-turned-radio-star Sting, 'Money for Nothing' wants it both ways. No matter: It's a pivotal '80s track.

'Tunnel of Love'
From: 'Making Movies' (1980)
 
Honest to God this really could almost be my number 1.  The more I listen to this over the years the better it gets.  A companion piece of sorts to the same album's 'Romeo and Juliet' (see No. 4 on our list of the Top 10 Dire Straits Songs), 'Tunnel of Love' is the sprawling set piece of the band's third album, an eight-minute epic that ends with Knopfler's all-time greatest guitar solo. Following the dismal 'Communiqué,' 'Making Movies' marked a creative, if not exactly, commercial comeback. They'd have to wait another five years for that.

'Telegraph Road'
From: "Song' (1982)

The song starts out with a quiet crescendo that lasts almost two minutes, before the song's main theme starts. After the first verse, the main theme plays again, followed by the second verse. After a guitar solo, a short bridge slows the song down to a quiet keyboard portion similar to the intro, followed by a slow guitar solo. Next, the final two verses, with the main theme in between, play. The main theme is played one last time, followed by a slightly faster guitar solo lasting about five minutes and eventually fading out.  Knopfler owns this one and he rocks pure and simple!

'Romeo and Juliet'
From: 'Making Movies' (1980)
 
One of Knopfler's loveliest songs, and maybe his all-around greatest composition, 'Romeo and Juliet' bridges Shakespeare, 'West Side Story' and a modern rock 'n' roll love story where fame, not family, is keeping the young lovers apart. The single didn't chart in the U.S. -- a shame, because it's one of Knopfler's most timeless songs.

‘Once Upon A Time In The West’
Form : “Communique’

A great song off what was considered a disappointing ‘Communique’ album.  Its strength is pure instrumental with the easy playing and guitar riffs of Knopfler once again making this a all time classic for me.

'Walk of Life'
From: 'Brothers in Arms' (1985)
 
Dire Straits' biggest album is filled with several drawn-out set pieces that rely on the slow build to set their mood (two songs clock in at more than eight minutes; another three are more than six). But one of its best songs -- which almost didn't make the album -- barely pushes past the four-minute mark. 'Walk of Life' was originally released as the B-side to the U.K. 'So Far Away' single (see No. 8 on our list of the Top 10 Dire Straits Songs) that came out before 'Brothers in Arms.' It eventually made it to the A-side, hitting the Top 10 all over the world.

'Skateaway'
From: 'Making Movies' (1980)
 
Following the commercial and critical bomb of their second album, 1979's 'Communiqué,' Dire Straits returned the next year -- tighter, more focused and armed with their best set of songs. 'Making Movies' keeps those songs at the center of the picture, pushing aside the wayward habits of the group's first two albums. 'Skateaway' sticks closer to a traditional rock-radio format than any other song on the album.

'Twisting by the Pool'
From: 'Twisting by the Pool' EP (1983)
  
In between 'Love Over Gold,' their most difficult album, and 'Brothers in Arms,' which made them global stars, Dire Straits released a four-song EP of retro-leaning rock and swing cuts. They're mostly throwaway numbers, but the record's anchor song is loads of fun, a Chuck Berry-style rocker that presages the more popular 'Walk of Life' (see No. 5 on our list of the Top 10 Dire Straits Songs).

'So Far Away'
From: 'Brothers in Arms' (1985)
 
Before 'Brothers in Arms' became a monster-selling album and the band's only No. 1 LP in the U.S., 'So Far Away' was released as the record's first single in the U.K. It was released in the U.S. as the third single, long after 'Brothers in Arms' was on its way to multi-platinum glory, reaching the Top 20. Either way, it opens the album and is one of its most scaled-down cuts. Nothing too fancy -- just straight-up, laid-back rock at its cleanest.

'Private Investigations'
From: 'Love Over Gold' (1982)
 
Running almost seven minutes, the sprawling 'Private Investigations' feels like an epic from its very first droning notes. Knopfler spins a film noir-style tale of diaries, whiskey bottles and shuttered blinds as classical acoustic guitar picks away ominously in the background. This is Dire Straits at their most literary-minded and atmospheric.

'Industrial Disease'
From: 'Love Over Gold' (1982)

In the early '80s, things weren't going so well for British industry. On top of, and in addition to, everything else, workers' strikes, anxiety and physical and mental illnesses were fall-out symptoms of the decline of British manufacturing during the era. Knopfler rolls through a bunch of aftershocks -- some real, some made up -- on this musically springy cut from the band's fourth album.

Another from the Michelle Archives and my salute to the greatest band in history...Dire Straits....and one of their best......"Romeo and Juliet"....

"Romeo and Juliet" is a song by the British rock band Dire Straits, written by singer and lead guitarist Mark Knopfler.  It first appeared on the 1980 album Making Movies and was released as a single in 1981.  Reviewer Dan Bolles has called the song a "classic".  The song subsequently appeared on the Dire Straits live albums Alchemy and On the Night, and later on Knopfler's live duet album with Emmylou Harris, Real Live Roadrunning (though Harris does not perform on the track). The track was also featured on the greatest hits albums Money for Nothing, Sultans of Swing: The Very Best of Dire Straits, and The Best of Dire Straits & Mark Knopfler: Private Investigations.

The lyrics of the song describe the experience of the two lovers of the title, hinting at a situation that saw the "Juliet" figure abandon her "Romeo" after finding fame and moving on from the rough neighborhood, where they first encountered each other. In addition to the reference to William Shakespeare's play of the same title, the song makes playful allusion to other works involving young love, including the songs "Somewhere" – from West Side Story, which is itself based on the Shakespeare play – and "My Boyfriend's Back". The original recording of the song has been featured in several motion pictures, including Hot Fuzz, Empire Records, and Can't Hardly Wait.

The song opens on an arpeggiated resonator guitar part played by Knopfler, who also sings the lead vocal: The melody on that song opening is reminiscent of Bruce Springsteen's "Jungleland" (both records feature Springsteen's E Street Band pianist Roy Bittan). The instrumentation remains simple during the verses and moves to a full-on rock arrangement in the chorus sections.

Because "Freak Like Me" made me think of the only good song to come out of the disco era ...

Another from the Michelle Archives...and from the last album of the greatest band ever...from 1991....Dire Straits...and...."On Every Street"

On Every Street is the sixth and final studio album by British rock band Dire Straits, released on 10 September 1991 by Vertigo Records internationally, and by Warner Bros. Records in the United States. The follow-up to the band's massively successful album Brothers in Arms, On Every Street reached the top of the UK albums chart and was also certified platinum by the RIAA.

On Every Street was released on 10 September 1991 - more than six years after the band's previous album - Brothers in Arms, and was Dire Straits' sixth and final studio album. It was released to mixed reviews and was not as popular - nor as successful - as its predecessor, though it still sold more than 10 million copies worldwide (six million in Europe and other one million in the United States). It reached number 12 in the United States and number one in the United Kingdom. The album was produced by Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits.

By this time, the band comprised Knopfler, John Illsley, Alan Clark and Guy Fletcher, and the album features session musicians including Paul Franklin, Phil Palmer, Danny Cummings and American drummer Jeff Porcaro from Toto.

Dire Straits promoted the album with a gruelling world tour which lasted until the end of 1992. The group disbanded in 1995, after which Mark Knopfler pursued a solo career and released his debut album Golden Heart in 1996 (not counting previously released soundtracks), and has released many solo records since.

This album was remastered and released with the rest of the Dire Straits catalogue in 1996 for most of the world, except for the United States, where it was issued on 19 September 2000.

Another from the Michelle Archives…and one of my all time favorites….its from the greatest band of all time…Dire Straits….and maybe their greatest album…Brothers In Arms….its the song….”Brothers In Arms”

Brothers in Arms is the fifth studio album by British rock band Dire Straits, released on 13 May 1985 by Vertigo Records internationally, and by Warner Bros. Records in the United States. Brothers in Arms charted at number one worldwide, spending ten weeks at number one on the UK Album Chart (between 18 January and 22 March 1986), nine weeks at number one on the Billboard 200 in the United States, and thirty-four weeks at number one on the Australian Album Chart. The album is the seventh best-selling album in UK chart history, is certified nine times platinum in the United States, and is one of the world's best selling albums having sold 30 million copies worldwide.
The album won two Grammy Awards in 1986, and also won Best British Album at the 1987 Brit Awards. Q magazine placed the album at number 51 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever.  The more widely known song on the album is “Money for Nothing”, or as some call it…the “song that launched MTV”…..but “Brothers In Arms” to me is the most beautiful and is vintage Mark Knopfler.

Composition of the Album – give this album a shot, its AWESOME!

"Money for Nothing" was one of the most played music videos on MTV during the era. It is one of only two Dire Straits songs on a studio album to not be solely credited to Mark Knopfler – Sting was given a co-writing credit.
"Walk of Life" was a number 2 hit for the band in the UK in early 1986 and a number 7 hit in the United States later that year. The song was nearly left off the album, but was included after the band out-voted producer Neil Dorfsman.
On the second side of the album, three songs ("Ride Across the River", "The Man's Too Strong" and "Brothers in Arms") are lyrically focused on militarism.
"Ride Across the River" uses immersive Latin American imagery, accompanied by synthesized pan flute, a reggae-influenced drum part and eerie background noises. "The Man's Too Strong" depicts the character of an ancient soldier (or war criminal) and his fear of showing feelings as a weakness. "Brothers in Arms" deals with the senselessness of war.

Another from the Michelle Archives…and a very special one to me…..

I am often asked what song really gets to me…what song do I stop everything I’m doing if I hear It no matter what I’m doing or where I am.  What song do I have on my Iphone that I play in my car at the end of a really shitty day?  What song do I play over and over on a plane trip?  What song did I take with me to Afghanistan, and other far away places?

As you might have guessed…It’s a Dire Straits song….but to me…it’s a just a part of the song.  It’s Dire Straits “Tunnel of Love”.  This is a song that lasts over 16 minutes by the boys from Newcastle.  But as a guitar player, it’s the last 5 minutes that have the most meaning to me.  It is in my opinion, the most beautiful 5 minutes in music.

It’s a guitar solo by Mark Knopfler.  But not just a guitar solo by itself, as it starts out slowly with just him and a slow riff.  Then the speed picks up, a piano and an organ slowly come in, then the bass guitars, the drums.  It builds and builds and it grabs you and  wraps its arms around you and it won’t let go.

I share my music on here for so many reasons, but the main reason is, it simply moves me and touches my heart.  This 5 minutes is from the iconic Dire Straits concert at Wembley in 1985.  You can buy the DVD of the entire concert, which is a bargain at any price (I get nothing to promote this contrary to popular belief, I’d pay them actually).  Give it a listen sometime.  I think you’ll like it.

So here we go…and don’t you dare touch that dial…its my boys from Newcastle…Dire Straits…live from Wembley in 1985….The last 5 minutes of….”Tunnel of Love”.

This is for all of us who simply love music, and what it does to us inside.

Have a great day everybody.

Post by: Michelle on April 30, 2014, 11:28:57 AM
Another from the Michelle Archives…..and BH’s post brought it back to me….its by the great Stevie Ray Vaughn…..SRV IS the only musician that "does it for me" as much as Mark Knopfler/Dire Straits does.  I think SRV reached his zenith and we all knew he was finally “back”, when we heard him play the great “Riviera Paradise”.

This song is performed by Stevie Ray Vaughan and appears on the album In “Step” (1989).  This is a soulful instrumental.  After a full day of recording material for the album, Stevie asked his producer to leave the tape running and to turn down the lights. All alone, he recorded the guitar track on his Fender Strat.  Double Trouble added the backing later, including an organ foundation from the great Reese Wynan.

Stevie Ray Vaughan was undeniably one of the greatest guitarists ever to live. Along with Jimi Hendrix, he will forever be remembered as one of the most innovative blues players to grace both the electric and acoustic guitar. Unfortunately, Stevie released only four studio albums in his short musical career: "Texas Flood", "Couldn't Stand the Weather", "Soul to Soul", and "In Step".

"In Step" is a landmark in blues as well as blues guitar playing. Stevie's tasteful fusion of jazz, blues and rock 'n' roll reach a climax on this album that surpasses all of his previous releases.

Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble are:
Stevie Ray Vaughan - guitars and vocals
Tommy Shannon - bass
Chris Layton - drums
Reese Wynans - piano and keyboards

Stevie and co.'s playing are flawless throughout. Reese's keyboard and piano playing add a jazzy feel to most of the songs, and one that was not present in Stevie's previous work. A prime example of this is Wynan's Riviera Paradise solo. Reese's contributions are noticeable on Crossfire and Tightrope, among others. I can't say there's a single song on that could have been better. Every song is a testament to Stevie's masterful fretwork and rare blues virtuosity. My personal favorite song is the instrumental Riviera Paradise, which displays Stevie's developing knack for jazzier playing, as well as his increcible technique which was at its peak. Riviera Paradise is similar to Lenny from Texas Flood as far as the amount of emotion Stevie poured into it.

As far as the band's performance as a whole, the drums are always solid and Chris doesn't lay back at all on this album. Bassist Tommy also does great job establishing the signature Double Trouble groove underneath Stevie. Vocally Stevie doesn't disappoint as usual, and much like Jimi Hendrix his vocals aren't meant to be the focal point of the music but the emotion that is put into them makes them unforgettable.

The first album I ever heard from Stevie Ray Vaughan was his debut,Texas Flood. So when I finally got In Step I had my doubts as to whether or not the band could live up to that album. In Step put those doubts to rest. Although Texas Flood is tremendously in every aspect, In Step lives up to every expectation. However, a big part of what makes In Step stand apart from SRV's previous albums is that it was released after Stevie got out of rehab for drug and alcohol abuse. An observing listener will notice that Texas Flood and Couldn't Stand the Weather are much more raw and faster paced than In Step. This album is definitely SRV's most slow, laid back, and overall most mature effort, and it seems to me that he had developed and honed his songwriting skills to create what would be come some of the most complex music he ever released.

One song that deals with Stevie's troubled past is Tightrope, a mainstay in his live performances after the album's release. It's lyrics are some of Stevie's best. The solo is an album highlight, and Reese adds a distinct and recognizable keyboard background riff which makes the song one of Stevie's most memorable studio recordings.

Afraid of my own shadow in the face of grace
Heart full of darkness spotlight on my face
There was love all around me but I was lookin' for revenge
Thank God it never found me would have been the end

SO don’t you dare touch that dial!...its the great SRV…Stevie Ray Vaughn….and…….”Riviera Paradise”

Another from the Michelle Archives and one of my favorites.....Stevie Ray Vaughn and its "Pride and Joy"

"Pride and Joy" is a blues-rock song by Texas singer/guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan and his backup band Double Trouble. It is an original composition by Vaughan and appeared on his 1983 Epic Records debut album Texas Flood. "Pride and Joy" was also released as Vaughan's first single and has become one of his best-known songs.

"Pride and Joy" was a feature of Vaughan live repertoire before he recorded it. According to Double Trouble drummer Chris Layton, Vaughan wrote it for a new girlfriend at the time (a later fight with her inspired his "I'm Cryin'").

Well, you've heard about love givin' sight to the blind
My baby's lovin' 'cause the sun to shine
She's my sweet little thing, she's my pride and joy
She's my sweet little baby, I'm her little lover boy

Vaughan's song was released as a single and reached number 20 in Billboard magazine's Mainstream Rock chart.  His album Texas Flood was also a best seller and helped renew interest in blues music.

Another from the Michelle Archives and the legendary Stevie Ray Vaughn ...its..."Voodoo Chile"

For great guitar work....this surpasses almost everything.

"Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" is the last track on "Electric Ladyland", the third and final album by the Jimi Hendrix Experience. The song is known for its wah-wah-heavy guitar work. It is #101 on Rolling Stone's list of 500 greatest songs of all time.

The song was recorded in 1968, and was re-released as a single after Hendrix's death in 1970. It was the A side on a three-track record, and reached Number 1 in the UK. It was catalogued as "'Voodoo Chiled" (Slight Return), and that is the title which appears on the single and is the title referred to officially. The term "slight return" refers to the song's initial role as a reprise of the 15-minute track "Voodoo Chile" featured earlier on the album Electric Ladyland.

Stevie Ray Vaughan covered this on his "Couldn't Stand the Weather" album

Cover versions of this song, with the exception of SRV's are generally lame because they can't get the tonal depth and sustain necessary to carry it. Jimi accomplished that in large part with revolutionay electronic pedal settings and combinations of his own creation. Stevie accomplished it largely by playing (as he always did) with incredibly heavy guitar strings--his high E string is about the same diameter as the low E on the set that will come on an electric guitar from the Gibson or Fender factory. I pity the fool who attempts this song in public with digital amp distortion effects and standard strings--you ain't gonna pull it off.

Its by Lorde.....from 2012.....its......"Royals"

Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O'Connor (born 7 November 1996), known by her stage name Lorde (/ˈlɔrd/), is a New Zealand singer-songwriter. Born in Takapuna and raised in Devonport, Auckland, she performed in various singing and drama classes as a child, and at the age of thirteen signed with Universal. Yelich-O'Connor adopted her stage name due to her fascination with "royals and aristocracy", but felt the name Lord was too masculine so added an 'e' to make it more feminine.

Her musical debut was an EP, entitled The Love Club, which was released in November 2012, and her first single, "Royals", debuted at number one on the New Zealand Top 40, and also reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2013, making her the first New Zealand solo artist to have a number one song in the United States. Her debut album, Pure Heroine, was released in September 2013, receiving critical acclaim and commercial success worldwide.

From the Michelle Archives....its a new one and a good one.....

Its from 2013......the artist is Paramore.....and its called....."Aint It Fun"

"Ain't It Fun" is a song by American rock band Paramore from their 2013 self-titled fourth studio album. It was released as the fourth single from the album in 2013 and sent to contemporary hit radio on February 4, 2014.  Musically, it has been described as having influences of funk, soul, and new jack swing. The gospel choir present during the song has received comparisons to the 2004 song "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield.

The song received critical acclaim from music critics, who praised its experimental sound, sarcastic lyrics, and frontwoman Hayley Williams' vocal performance, highlighting it as one of the album's standout tracks. The song charted at number 3 on the UK Rock Charts before the song's release as a single. It has since peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, thus making it the band's highest charting song in the U.S. to date and their first song ever to enter the top ten.  It's also their first album to have more than one song chart on the Billboard Mainstream Top 40 since their second studio album Riot! (2007).

Another from the Michelle Archives.....its from the British group Bastille......and its....."Pompeii"


"Pompeii" is a song by British rock band Bastille. It is the fourth single from their debut studio album Bad Blood and the first to get major airplay and promotion. The song was released as a digital download on 24 February 2013. It reached number 2 in the UK Singles Chart, number 4 in Australian ARIA Chart, and number 5 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 1 on the Alternative Songs chart.

Lyrically, the song is about the Roman town of the same name, which met its fate with the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. It was nominated for British Single of the Year at the 2014 BRIT Awards.

The official music video was filmed in Los Angeles and Palm Springs, California. It was directed by Jesse John Jenkins and produced by Tova Dann. The video was first released onto YouTube on 20 January 2013 at a total length of three minutes and fifty-two seconds. The music video focuses on a man (played by Bastille frontman Dan Smith) who is running through various areas of Los Angeles in an allegory of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in Pompeii. Lyrics such as "And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love" and "Great clouds roll over the hills, bringing darkness from above" are shown in the video. He keeps encountering people whose entire eyes have turned black and flees in a stolen car to the desert, where he soon becomes another black-eyed person.

Another from the Archives....and a special one to me...as it was my Father and Mother's song...

Its by Fleetwood Mac...and its called....."You Make Loving Fun"

"You Make Loving Fun" is a song written by Christine McVie of the British-American band Fleetwood Mac. McVie also sang the lead vocal for this song, and she did so for many years thereafter. "You Make Loving Fun" was separately published as the fourth and final 45 rpm single from the band's album Rumours in 1977. This song was the fourth top ten hit from Rumours, and it peaked at number nine on the Billboard Pop Singles Chart.

"You Make Loving Fun" has also been included in many compilation albums by Fleetwood Mac. The song was inspired by an affair McVie had with the band's lighting director, Curry Grant.[1]

"You Make Loving Fun" was a concert staple for Fleetwood Mac and was played during every tour involving Christine McVie from 1976 until 1997, a year before McVie's departure from the band and retirement from touring.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dUG9XSbaQg

This song again highlights the awesome talent that was Christine McVie....her vocals often highlighted a number of Fleetwood Mac's song and she went on to have a very successful solo career.  Two parts of the song I love so much......

I never did believe in miracles,
But I've a feeling it's time to try.
I never did believe in the ways of magic,
But I'm beginning to wonder why.

Don't, don't break the spell,
It would be different and you know it will,
You, you make loving fun,
And I don't have to tell you but you're the only one.

So here we go!...and don't you dare touch that dial!....its Fleetwood Mac....and..."You Make Loving Fun"

What can I say?  Thanks Mom and Dad....you were and are the best.....you taught me the days of magic....

Have a great day everyone..and make it musical :)

Another from the Michelle Archives and one of my favorite groups....Halestorm......and the song....."Mz. Hyde"

This song is AWESOME and is my entrance song for matches...

"The Strange Case Of.".. is the second full-length studio album from the rock band Halestorm, released on April 10, 2012. The album was produced by Howard Benson, who also produced the band's self-titled debut album. The first single and video from the album "Love Bites (So Do I)" won a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance

"Mz. Hyde" was seen as the focal point of the album. Arejay noted that when they were writing songs for the new record, they had several ballads, like "In Your Room", and many heavy songs like "You Call Me A Bitch Like It's A Bad Thing", but nothing to truly tie them together. When they wrote the song "Mz. Hyde", they felt that it tied the two types together. The song is partially a reference to how Lzzy had two sides: the soft side that rarely came out in their previous record and was only ever seen by the band members, and her rock persona that is seen on stage. In this album, the softer side is shown in more depth. Lyrically, the song discusses the idea that appearances are not everything, and talks about a girl having an evil side that comes out unexpectedly.

My favorite part are these lines from the middle of the song,

Welcome to the nightmare in my head, (Oh god!)
Say hello to something scary,
The monster in your bed, (Oh god!)
Just give in and you won’t be sorry,
Welcome to my other side,
Hello it’s Mz Hyde!

I can be the bitch,
I can play the whore,
Or your fairytale princess who could ask for more
A touch of wicked,
A pinch of risqué,
Good girl gone bad, my poison is your remedy

Better be scared, better be afraid,
Now that the beast is out of her cage,
And I know you,
Wanna risk it,
Soon though you,
Are so addicted
Boy you better run for your life!

Another from the Michelle Archives and its a wonderful oldie.....its Fleetwood Mac....from 1976....and its...."Rhiannon"

"Rhiannon" is a song written by Stevie Nicks and originally recorded by Fleetwood Mac. First released on their self-titled album in 1975, it was subsequently issued as a single the following year.

"Rhiannon" was voted #488 in The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time by Rolling Stone magazine. Its US chart peak was in June 1976, when it hit #11 It peaked at #46 in the UK singles chart for three weeks after re-release in February 1978.

The song is always referred to as simply "Rhiannon" on Fleetwood Mac albums. The suffixed title "Rhiannon (Will You Ever Win)" was only used on singles in certain territories.

Live performances of the song were sometimes prefaced with Nicks saying, "This is a song about an old Welsh witch."[4] During 1975–1980, Fleetwood Mac's live performances of "Rhiannon" took on a theatrical intensity not present on the FM-radio single. The song built to a climax in which Nicks' vocals were so impassioned that, as drummer and band co-founder Mick Fleetwood said, "her Rhiannon in those days was like an exorcism."

Nicks discovered Rhiannon through a novel called Triad, by Mary Leader. The novel is about a woman named Branwen, who is possessed by another woman named Rhiannon. There is mention of the Welsh legend of Rhiannon in the novel, but the characters in the novel bear little resemblance to their original Welsh namesakes (both Rhiannon and Branwen are major female characters in the medieval Welsh prose tales of the Mabinogion).

Nicks bought the novel in an airport just before a long flight and thought the name was so pretty that she wanted to write something about a girl named Rhiannon. She wrote "Rhiannon" in 1974, three months before joining Fleetwood Mac, and has claimed that it took 10 minutes to write.

After writing the song, Nicks learned that Rhiannon originated from a Welsh goddess, and was amazed that the haunting song lyrics applied to the Welsh Rhiannon as well. Nicks researched the Mabinogion story and began work on a Rhiannon project, unsure of whether it would become a movie, a musical, a cartoon, or a ballet. There are several "Rhiannon Songs" from this unfinished project including "Stay Away" and "Maker of Birds." Nicks wrote the Fleetwood Mac song "Angel" based on the Rhiannon story.

Nicks avoided wearing black clothing for "about two years" in an effort to distance herself from the witchcraft and dark arts associations surrounding her as a result of the lyrics to "Rhiannon" giving fans the wrong impression.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtPyk8_onO8

This is a recording of what is considered the bands and Stevie Nicks greatest live performance of this ...one of their most popular songs.  Nicks basically gets lost in her performance and her vocals...combined with Christine McVie's and Lindsey Buckingham's....are haunting at times in the signature Fleetwood Mac sound.

So here we go!..and don't you dare touch that dial!..its the great Fleetwood Mac......featuring Stevie Nicks......and its the iconic....."Rhiannon"

Have a wonderful weekend everybody......and make it musical :)

Now that Michelle has presented videos of two of Fleetwood Mac's trio of lengendary singer/songwriters, I might as well post something from the other one.

Lindsey Buckingham from Palo Alto, CA is certainly one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time and definitely my favorite American-born one (after SRV, of course). As a vocalist, his orgasmic style and good looks drove women crazy, and provided a third of the three-part harmony with Christine McVie and Stevie Nicks that has never been duplicated in the list of classic rock bands.

But it was as a guitarist that Buckingham stood out. Self-trained, he couldn't even read music (though he could certainly write it). Nonetheless, his creative guitar solos were legendary. And this dude never did something all others did ... he never used a pick. Ever.

Here's Buckingham in a recent acoustic performance of his guitar classic, "Big Love"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOJXX-h3n5s (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOJXX-h3n5s)

I would never diss the Big L.......nor a Palo Alto guy......and as a guitar player...he is one of my Guitar Heroes...he was and still is....really good!   From the "no pick" school of guitar playing (a la Mark Knopfler)

Another from the Michelle Archives....from the great Fleetwood Mac.....its... "Go Your Own Way"......

"Go Your Own Way" is a song by the British/American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released as a single in January 1977.

Written by Lindsey Buckingham, it was the first single from the group's 1977 album Rumours. It peaked at number ten on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the group's first top-ten hit in the U.S. In the UK, the single wasn't as successful, and would only reach #38. However, the song became very popular in the U.K. over a longer period as 'Rumours' received more radio airplay and it re-entered the singles chart on many occasions. This has led to the song selling gradually over the years and has therefore been certified Silver in the U.K. for Digital sales of over 200,000 copies. The song was also a #1 hit in Netherlands.

It is ranked number 120 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and is on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll list. The song is about the complicated relationship that Buckingham and fellow Fleetwood Mac member Stevie Nicks were having.

To me this is Lindsey's signature song when he was with Fleetwood Mac......it was his anthem to Stevie Nicks....as they were searching for a reason to stay together.....but just couldn't.

Friday Night Sessions - 1997 - This was awesome!

Another from the Michelle Archives....and a new one....from one of my favorites...

Justin Timberlake...from "The 20/20 Experience 2 of 2 Album"...its... "Not A Bad Thing"

"Not a Bad Thing" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Justin Timberlake for his fourth studio album, The 20/20 Experience – 2 of 2 (2013). It was written and produced by Timberlake, Timothy "Timbaland" Mosley and Jerome "J-Roc" Harmon, with additional writing from James Fauntleroy. It was released as the third single from the album on February 24, 2014 through digital download, following a contemporary hit radio release on February 25. The song is a mid-tempo pop ballad, that makes use of an acoustic guitar throughout, with its lyrics centering around the semantic field of love.

"Not a Bad Thing" received positive reviews, with several contemporary music critics noting the song's production and lyrics being reminiscent of past material produced by former boy band 'N Sync. The song's music video premiered on the The Ellen DeGeneres Show on March 20, 2014. It is a mini documentary, that follows two documentary filmmakers searching for a couple that got engaged on January 12, 2014, while heading to New York City on the Long Island Rail Road train, with the man proposing to his girlfriend to "Not a Bad Thing". The video concludes with the filmmakers being lead to several false leads, with a second part of the video to follow. Timberlake performed the song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and during The 20/20 Experience World Tour.

One more from the Michelle Archives....its from 2009....and Pink.......its...."Please Don't Leave Me"

"Please Don't Leave Me" is a song from American pop rock singer Pink and the third single taken from her fifth studio album Funhouse. It was released on January 31, 2009. The song received strong airplay in Australia and New Zealand, as well as being added to the BBC Radio 1 A-List playlist in the UK. The music video for "Please Don't Leave Me" was directed by Dave Meyers, and was leaked online before the song's official announcement as a single, alongside the single's cover art. In the USA, the song managed to reach the Top 20, peaking at 17. The song was featured in Suburgatory.

"Please Don't Leave Me" was co-written by Pink and Max Martin, who handled the production as well, for the track. It is one of four songs from the album produced by Max Martin, with the number one single "So What" being another of the four. The song is a mid-tempo track that details a love-hate relationship. Pink sings of someone having a bad effect on her, yet not being able to let go of the person. She insists during the chorus, "I always say how I don't need you, but it's always gonna come right back to this, please don't leave me." The song was one of the first three to be heard and performed from Funhouse, being performed along with "So What" and second single, "Sober", live on Much Music, prior to the album's release.

Another from the Michelle Archives....and the great Fleetwood Mac...its called...."Everywhere"

"Everywhere" is a single released by the British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac from their album "Tango in the Night", written and with lead vocals by Christine McVie.

It was released in the United Kingdom on February 24, 1988 and reached #4 there. In the United States, it was released earlier on November 28, 1987 and reached number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and went to #1 on the U.S. adult contemporary chart, remaining there for three weeks. The song also reached the Top 50 in Australia at number forty-five.

The video of the song is a visual depiction of the poem "The Highwayman" by Alfred Noyes. There are two versions of the video; one features the story with members of the band appearing throughout, while the other doesn't feature the band at all.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miwHh9X9sCc
from the 1997 live concert - "The Dance"....awesome!

Christine McVie's talent was virtually unmatched....her keyboards....and above all her distinctive vocals.....and how they blended with that of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham....provides a unique sound that still resonates.

Can you hear me calling out your name?
You know that I'm falling and I don't know what to say
I'll speak a little louder, I'll even shout
You know that I'm proud and I can't get the words out

I wanna be with you everywhere
I wanna be with you everywhere

Somethings happening, happening to me
My friends say I'm acting peculiarly

Swedish death metal band Opeth does the Blues - awesome closing guitar duet that almost sounds like a combination of Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits and Hotel California by the Eagles.  The singer proves he can sing too as he sings the song cleanly instead of growling.

From the Michelle Archives...and one of my favorite artists...Lindsey Stirling..and her very latest release.....her 2nd album....."Shatter Me"........and the single...."Shatter Me"....with the great Lizzy Hale of Halestorm

Shatter Me is the second studio album by violinist and solo artist Lindsey Stirling. It is Stirling's first album to include collaborations with other vocalists, featuring Lzzy Hale and Dia Frampton, and Stirling has said its musical style is more progressive than her first album.  The album was released on 29 April in the United States and 2 May in Germany.  The first single, "Beyond the Veil", was released on 24 March, peaking at number 22 on Billboard Dance and Electronic Digital Songs. The video was posted the following day.  The second single, "Shatter Me", was released on 23 April, accumulating 1.3 million views after one day on YouTube.  During its pre-sale, the album peaked at number one on the US iTunes electronic charts.  On its release in the United States the album reached number two on the Billboard 200, making it Stirling's biggest week of her career in terms of sales. The album peaked on four different Billboard music charts.

Post by: Michelle on July 16, 2014, 04:17:58 AM
A lot of people think the legendary rock band Fleetwood Mac began with Nicks and Buckingham. On the contrary. It one time it featured singer/songwriter/guitarist Bob Welch and lead guitarist, the certifiable Peter Green. After Green finally went over the edge, he was replaced by Bob Weston. Here are lead singer Welch, Weston, John and Christine McVie and Mick Fleetwood performing the band's biggest pre-Nicks and Buckingham hit, Hypnotized, in 1973, a song referring to the dream writings of Carlos Casteneda.

I remember a talk about North
Carolina and a strange, strange pond
You see the sides were like glass
In the thick of a forest without a road
And if any man's hand ever made that land
Then I think it would've showed

That "strange, strange pond" in NC is Lake Drummond in the heart of the Great Dismal Swamp. About 20 miles south from Braveheart's home. And the late Bob Welch (August 31, 1945 – June 7, 2012) was right ...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9CXnn_Y_pw (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9CXnn_Y_pw)

//Braveheart






I can't resist this.....

from producer Keith Olson....an old friend of my father's.....the Buckingham/Nicks legend

After growing up in South Dakota and Minnesota, Olsen said he studied music at the University of Minnesota. In the 1960s, the classically trained musician played bass for several acts and was in the band Music Machine, which had a top 20 hit with “Talk Talk.”
But too many scary incidents on the road made him reconsider his career as a musician.
“It was rough back in the ’60s,” he said. “Planes were safe — private planes were not.”

While still with Music Machine, he met with an old college friend, Curt Boettcher, and started producing. The duo was later hired by Clive Davis, president of CBS Records, and they worked on projects by artists such as The Byrds and Simon&Garfunkel. The two eventually went their separate ways, though, and Olsen was on his own as a producer and engineer.

He began his own production company—Pogologo — and one of his first clients was a duo named Buckingham Nicks. Originally with a Bay Area band named Fritz, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks — a romantic and musical couple — recorded a self-titled album that Olsen produced in 1973
Buckingham Nicks didn’t make a lot of money — which explains why Nicks cleaned Olsen’s house for cash—but that record was the first step toward the creation of a rock superband.

When Mick Fleetwood, the drummer for Fleetwood Mac, approached Olsen about producing the band’s next album, Olsen offered Fleetwood a demonstration of some work he’d done.
“He just wanted to hear what the studio could sound like,” Olsen said. “So I played him ‘Buckingham Nicks.’ ”
Fleetwood agreed to work with Olsen. But before the project could begin, the band’s singer, Bob Welch, quit. Remembering that Buckingham Nicks album, Fleetwood called Olsen and asked, “Could you see if Lindsey would join my band?”
“I said, ‘You have to take two,’ ”
Olsen remembered. “They’re inseparable. The only way that you’ll get Lindsey is by taking Stevie.”

Fleetwood agreed, but that left it up to Olsen to convince Buckingham and Nicks to join a new band — even though Fleetwood Mac was a British blues band and Buckingham Nicks was a pop rock duo.
“They were ready to start recording a second Buckingham Nicks record,” he said. “They were just starting to write it, and they were sure that Buckingham Nicks as a duo could make it.”
While the duo had talent, Olsen knew they needed help.
“I needed a good drummer, bass player and keyboard player to fill out Buckingham Nicks,” Olsen said.
So on a New Year’s Eve, he cajoled the couple until 3 a.m., finally convincing them that joining Fleetwood Mac was a good idea.

“I just thought it was a really great opportunity for Stevie and Lindsey to be a part of the Fleetwood Mac name,” he said. “Because that name had 220,000 fans. And now there were going to be 220,000 people listening to Buckingham Nicks”
Of course, it turned out to be much bigger than that. The newly aligned band’s first album, produced by Olsen, became a No. 1 hit, selling 5 million copies.

From the Michelle Archives....one of my all time favorites...if not my favorite....... who just recently came out with a new album....

Lindsey Stirling...

Earth-shattering, mind-blowing music exploded out of Stubbs BBQ in Austin Friday July 11 as Lindsey Stirling took the stage and once again WOW’d everyone with her amazing violin-dub-step-dance-hip-hop performance! The show in Austin was sold out so I was lucky to get some great tickets and thank God I did!

Lindsey was AWESOME!!!!  One of the best times and concerts I have ever been to!  If you ever get the chance to see Lindsey in concert, please do so!

Lindsey Stirling released her new album “Shatter Me” a little over two months ago; the album has since been perking a lot of ears up to what starts as curiosity and leads to dedicated, obsessive fandom. The first single, “Beyond the Veil”, was released on March 24th, peaking at number 22 on Billboard Dance and Electronic Digital Songs. The video was posted the following day. The second single, “Shatter Me”, was released on April 23, accumulating 1.3 million views after one day on YouTube. The album reached number two on the Billboard 200, making it Stirling’s biggest week of her career in terms of sales, while peaking on three other Billboard charts.
“Shatter Me” also features guest performances from Lzzy Hale (of "Halestorm"....I love Lzzy hale!) and Dia Frampton, Hale starring in the title-track and Frampton in “We Are Giants”. Outside of the album, Lindsey Stirling recently collaborated with Owl City on the lead single to his Ultraviolet EP called “Beautiful Times”. She is featured in the music video that premiered June 26th on YouTube.

Check out Lindsey's YouTube channel...I promise you'll love it!

Another from the Michelle Archives....from one of my favorite artists....Chris Isaak.....its "San Francisco Days"

"Francisco Days" is the fourth album by Chris Isaak, released in 1993. The album was dedicated to the memory of Louie Beeson, who was the sound consultant.  "San Francisco Days" is a single from that album.

Chris Isaak took a four year workup between his breakthrough "Heart Shaped World" and "San Francisco Days," and used that time to hone a very cool collection of songs. He also allows a few new elements to seep into the songs. A strong example is the rhythm machine that accents the rock-a-billy guitars of "Round And Round." He also gained new confidence as a singer, pouring even stronger vocals than before into songs like "Two Hearts," which evoked Roy Orbison as flawlessly as ever. "San Francisco Days" also finds Isaak in a more flirtatous mode. Instead of all the angst and heartbreak, there is some playful teasing in "Except The New Girl" and "Lonely With A Broken Heart."

For those that got hooked on Isaak via the success of "Wicked Game," there is "Can't Do A Thing To Stop Me." While certainly not as dark as "Wicked Game," Isaak still sends his shimmering falsetto heartbreakingly over a hypnotic mid-tempo melody and a mysterious sounding organ base. Just as effective in the high lonesome mode is, oddly enough, the CD's lone cover. Isaak outdoes Neil Diamond on "Solitary Man," completely understanding the song's unhappy retreat into reclusion.

"San Francisco Days" was a slight step back from the intensity of "Heart Shaped World," but follows Isaak's musical game plan pretty effectively. It's Isaak's most "California" sounding disc (followed closely by "Baja Sessions"), and a unique disc from a unique artist.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aufudfyHIaA

So here we go...and don't you dare touch that dial!..its Chris Isaak and the boys  .....and its "San Francisco Days"

This is dedicated to my home town of San Francisco, at least having grew up down the road in Carmel it seems like it is.  I miss you San Fran!

From the Michelle Archives...and one of my favorite groups....Halestorm with Lzzy Hale...its..."I Miss The Misery"..

"I Miss the Misery" is the second single released by the hard rock band, Halestorm. It is taken from their second album "The Strange Case Of...."

"I Miss the Misery" was written about Lzzy and Arejay's parents' divorce. Lzzy explains that the song is a reflection of the feeling of missing having someone to fight with. It is not about abusive relationships, but about growing accustomed to the "push and shove" of being in a relationship, and finding yourself missing it when it is suddenly gone after so long

"The Strange Case Of..." is the second full-length studio album from the rock band Halestorm, released on April 10, 2012. The album was produced by Howard Benson, who also produced the band's self-titled debut album. The first single and video from the album "Love Bites (So Do I)" won a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance. The song "Here's to Us" was performed on the US television show, Glee, with clean lyrics. Four of the album's songs were previously released on the sneak-preview EP Hello, It's Mz. Hyde. A deluxe edition of the album was also released containing three bonus tracks. A different version of the song "Here's To Us" featuring multiple guests including Slash was included on the reissue version of the standard and deluxe version of the album in 2013. In interviews about the album, Hale noted that the album was heavier than their previous album, but was significantly closer to the sound of them live.

Another from the Michelle Archives.....from one of my favorite bands.....Halestorm with Lzzy Hale.....its

"I Get Off"......

"I Get Off" is the first single released by the hard rock band, Halestorm. It is taken from their self titled debut album.

"I Get Off" is literally about sexual matters. However, in interviews, Lzzy Hale has noted that the inspiration for the song was from the feeling of feeding off the energy of the crowd during a performance. At the beginning of the song on their "Live in Philadelphia" DVD, Lzzy makes the same allusion in her comments to the crowd: "Was that as good for you as it was for me?"

The song was released in 2009.

The video for "I Get Off" shows the band playing in a room, and it shows the lead singer, Lzzy Hale in a secret room being watched by a male.

Another from the Michelle Archives…..its from one of my most favorite groups….Halestorm and Lzzy Hale….and its……”Here’s To Us”

After their swift rise over the past few years, Pennsylvania rockers "Halestorm" are getting used to being in the spotlight. In the new clip for their catchy single "Here's to Us," the Grammy-winners give us a sneak peek into how they feel about both their success and the tough times they've weathered as a band.

"We wrote this song literally as our personal anthem," lead singer Lzzy Hale tells Rolling Stone. "We've been through a lot together as a band, and we've learned to celebrate the low times as well as the highs.  It's about toughin' out and respecting the journey for us, and that's how we have kept it together as a foursome for 10 years!  Here's to us!"

The song was originally released in mid-2012 on the band's second album, The Strange Case Of… The clip shows Halestorm in concert, bathed in dramatic colored lights, performing for adoring fans as they toast everyone's collective good fortune.

“Here’s To Us”

We could just go home right now
Or maybe we could stick around
For just one more drink
Oh yeah

Get another bottle out
Let's shoot the shit, sit back down
For just one more drink
Oh yeah

Here's to us
Here's to love
All the times the we fucked up
Here's to you
Fill the glass
Cause the last few days have kicked my ass
So let's give 'em hell
Wish everybody will
Here's to us

Here's to us

We stuck it out this far together
Put our dreams through the shredder
Let's toast cause things
Got Better

And everything can change like that
And all these years go by so fast
But nothing lasts
Forever

Here's to us
Here's to love
All the times the we messed up
Here's to you
Fill the glass
Cause the last few nights have kicked my ass
If they give you hell
Tell 'em go fuck themselves
Here's to us

Here's to us

Here's to all that we kissed
And to all that we missed
To the biggest mistakes
That we just wouldn't trade

Here's to us breaking up
Without us breking down
To whatever's coming our way

Here's to us
Here's to love
All the times that we fucked up
Here's to you
Fill the glass
Cause the past few days have kicked my ass
So let's give 'em hell
Wish everybody will
Here's to us

Here's to us
Here's to love
All the times the we messed up
Here's to you
Fill the glass
Cause the last few nights have kicked my ass
If they give you hell
Tell 'em go fuck themselves
(Go fuck themselves)
Here's to us

Halestorm – “The Strange Case Of…”  -  A Michelle/MNN Review

I make no secret that one of my favorite bands going is "Halestorm".  The rebels from Pennsylvania do it for me unlike many others.  My music tastes obviously run the gambit, with "Dire Straits" on one extreme and "Halestorm" on the other.  I have done reviews of "Dire Straits" so its "Halestorms" time in the sun.

Halestorm’s sophomore album (and my favorite)  ‘The Strange Case Of…’ breaks all the rules and all the records.  The disc shows off the band’s diverse sound and ability to not only go from one end of the rock spectrum to another but to create a new spectrum entirely.

The album starts off with the single ‘Love Bites (So Do I),’ which is the perfect representation of Halestorm and a great showcase of front woman Lzzy Hale’s voice and badass wit.

The next track, ‘Mz. Hyde,’ is funky, complete with a little bit of synthesizer action. Even though it’s a bit poppy, it keeps a certain amount of edge and the lyrics provide that same sort of duality as well.  This song I consider to be my anthem and I turn it on the the car every day on the way home from work.  There isn't one that fits me better.

‘I Miss the Misery’ is one of the most powerfully raw songs on the album, as Hale croons and yells the very infectious chorus that is bound to get stuck in your head: “I miss the bad things / The way you hate me / I miss the screaming / The way that you blame me / Miss the phone calls / When it’s your fault / I miss the late nights / Don’t miss you at all / I like the kick in the face / And the things you do to me / I love the way that it hurts / I don’t miss you / I miss the misery.”  This song is in my top five of all time of EVERY GROUP.

‘Freak Like Me’ is a straight up anthem for misfits and Lzzy Hale doesn’t fail to show that her vocal cords are made of pure gold as she hits some unfathomable notes. With sleezy guitar riffs, crashing cymbals and deep bass lines what’s not to like about this hard rocking, fist pumping track?  Its for all of us for simply feel like, we're freaks and we just don't care, we're loud and we're proud.

There is calm in the Halestorm, however, with a block of three ballad-y songs — ‘Beautiful With You,’ ‘In Your Room’ and ‘Break In.’ The songs show another side of Hale’s voice, as she delivers some soaring melodies.
The disc kicks it into high gear with the catchy, up-tempo song ‘Rock Show,’ which is a tune that every concert lover can relate to.

With catchy lyrics, and a groovy melody, this is one song you can jump and bounce around to. The track features some of the most memorable lyrics on the album: “This goes out to anyone /Whose heart beats like a kick drum / When a bitchin’ riff comes / Knows the words to every line / Everytime / And you know you gotta go get some / Get pumped / Find yourself and lose it.” It’s hard not to “lose it” when listening to this song.

‘Daughters of Darkness’ and ‘You Call Me a Bitch Like It’s a Bad Thing’ are anthems for the vixens. Leave it up to Hale to take a word like ‘bitch’ and turn it into an empowering term.  Men born and raised in the United States should be humbled because when Lzzy Hale says she likes you, ’cause that’s not something to take lightly. In the song ‘American Boys,’ Hale tips her hat to dudes from coast to coast, whether they’re “Friday night boys and the PBR / Chasing Jack, getting wrecked / In small town bars” or “Pretty boys at the university / Watching them walk / In their Levi jeans.”

‘The Strange Case Of…’ rounds out with the song ‘Here’s to Us,’ a great ballad that goes perfectly with a beer in one hand and a lighter in the other.

The deluxe edition of the album includes the bonus tracks ‘Don’t Know How To Stop,’ ’Private Parts’ (featuring James Michael of Sixx: A.M.) and ‘Hate It When You See Me Cry.’ Overall, ‘The Strange Case Of…’ proves what we all already knew..... that Halestorm are a force to be reckoned with in the rock world.

Another from the Michelle Archives.....and one of my favorite groups....Linkin Park.....its called...."Burn It Down"...

"Burn It Down" (working title "Buried at Sea") is a song by American rock band Linkin Park. The song was released to radio stations, as well as a digital download, on April 16, 2012, as the lead single from their fifth studio album Living Things. The song was written by the band and produced by co-lead vocalist Mike Shinoda and Rick Rubin, who co-produced the band's studio albums Minutes to Midnight (2007) and A Thousand Suns (2010). A music video for the song was directed by Linkin Park turntablist Joe Hahn. As of February 13, 2013, "Burn It Down" has sold over one million copies in the United States, making it their eighth million selling single.

See we have new Foo Fighters and Nickleback coming through work this week ...  Have not heard anything yet from them.

Also interested in what looks to be a new release from Dragonforce as well .. Anyone into them??

See you on the other side Joe Cocker.....with a little help from your friends...

Rock lost an icon on December 22......

from Gene Seymour - CNN

45 years ago ....Woodstock, New York...

Joe Cocker started to sing a song that, it's safe to say, everybody within hearing range of that stage knew by heart.

"With a Little Help From My Friends" was the kind of catchy, user-friendly ditty that even a stuffy grown-up could love enough to sing along with decades before anyone heard the word "karaoke." Anybody, in other words, could make the song work for them, whether in a shower or a corner bar.

Joe Cocker, at that moment, did more than just make it work. He worked that song over, ripping its delicate, amiable stitching apart and transfiguring it into something with more grandeur, tumult and dramatic tension than the Beatles could have imagined.

The cameras that captured that transfixing performance for all time stayed on him for practically the entire song, drifting up and down Cocker's spasmodic form, focusing on his hands as they mimed an invisible instrument wrenching every lick, spin and extended variation he could summon through the vibrant coarseness of his voice.

That little ditty Ringo Star introduced to the world became, in Cocker's fitful, jerking hands, an epic flag waver, a soul-music anthem. Cocker didn't just "cover" that song. He conquered it and made it his own.
His performance, one of the many peaks of the 1970 eponymous documentary about that festival, "Woodstock," was the first thing most people of a certain age thought of when they heard the news of Cocker's death at 70 from lung cancer. It was what Monday's CBS Evening News broadcast mentioned first and foremost when mentioning Cocker's passing and the film clip accompanied many tweets and posts on social media.

Galvanic as that moment was, it was only the beginning of a solid, steady career for Cocker, who scored serial blues-rock hits throughout the 1970s, including "Feelin' Alright" and "You Are So Beautiful." His 1982 duet with Jennifer Warnes, "Up Where We Belong," pretty much capped his string of hits. His gravelly voice and his contortions, however, remained in demand throughout the world, and it says something about his enduring appeal that so many people from different generations say they went straight to those and other tunes to hear that aching, fiery growl once again.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POaaw_x7gvQ


My favorite was "Feeling Alright"......no matter how bad you feel....play this one by Joe Cocker....your pains will lighten....I promise...

Stevie Ray Vaughn with his iconic….”Couldn’t Stand The Weather”….

This song features both SRV and his band…Double Trouble…it doesn’t get any better than this!

Reese Wynans on keyboards
Tommy Shannon on bass
Chris Layton on drums

Stevie Ray Vaughn – “Couldn’t Stand The Weather”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=272aujSjIQs - “Couldn’t Stand The Weather”

“Couldn't Stand the Weather” is the second studio album by American blues rock band Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble. It was released on May 15, 1984, by Epic Records as the follow-up to the band's critically and commercially successful 1983 album, Texas Flood. Recording sessions took place in January 1984 at the Power Station in New York City.

Stevie Ray Vaughan wrote half the tracks on “Couldn't Stand the Weather.” The album went to No. 31 on the Billboard 200 chart and the music video for "Couldn't Stand the Weather" received regular rotation on MTV. In 1999, a reissue of the album was released which contains an audio interview segment and studio outtakes.

In 2010, the album was reissued again as the Legacy Edition containing two CDs with a previously unreleased studio outtake and an August 17, 1984 concert at The Spectrum in Montreal, Canada.

Another from the Michelle Archives...its Sick Puppies and its "Riptide"...

"Riptide" is the fourth single from Sick Puppies' third album "Tri-Polar", which impacted radio on February 8, 2011. Originally this song was planned to be the second single, but "Odd One" narrowly beat out "Riptide" because of its strong lyrical message.

A music video was premiered on April 6, 2011 on Yahoo music. The video features the band playing in front of a lot of T.V's screening the most shocking breaking news and the iniquities in the world. At the end of the video a child turns off the T.V. and it shows a phrase saying: "There is still hope". It was directed by Travis Kopach.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFOtX3VkG88 - Sick Puppies and “Riptide”

"Riptide" debuted at No. 35 on the Mainstream Rock chart and peaked at No. 3; it debut at No. 49 on the Rock Songs chart, where it peaked at No. 6. It debuted at No. 36 on the Alternative Songs chart.

Another from the Michelle Archives…Its Stevie Ray Vaughn and “Tightrope”


Stevie Ray was a true force of nature…and born to play guitar.

Pure emotion…pure talent
 
If you ever had the chance to witness Stevie Ray Vaughan perform…you too understand that he didn’t just “play” the guitar…he channeled music from the depths of his soul and through his body and guitar, which were connected as one. Mesmerizing to the point of hypnotic, watching the music burst out of him with such beautiful yet brutal violence and magnitude was to behold some form of musical and spiritual possession. Stevie Ray Vaughan’s legacy permanently resides in the rarefied pantheon reserved for bona fide guitar gods.

It was a religious experience…

“Tightrope” was part of the “Instep” album… In Step is the fourth studio album by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble released in 1989. The title In Step can be seen as referring to Vaughan's new-found sobriety, following the years of drug and alcohol use that eventually led Vaughan into rehabilitation. It was also Vaughan's final album with Double Trouble. In 1990, he recorded a collaboration album with his brother, Jimmie Vaughan, called Family Style; later that year, Stevie Ray Vaughan died in a helicopter crash.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GX5ioDq1m5I - SRV and "Tightrope" – Live from Austin (The Great Austin City Limits)

The lyrics are amazing and I suppose have more personal meaning to me than those of a lot of songs…as I look at my life and see it in each line of the song….


“Tightrope”

Caught up in a whirlwind can't catch my breath,
knee deep in hot water broke out in a cold sweat
Can't catch a turtle in this rat race,
feels like I'm losin' time at a breakneck pace

Afraid of my own shadow in the face of grace,
heart full of darkness spotlight on my face
There was love all around me but I was lookin' for revenge,
thank God it never found me would have been the end

I was walkin' the tightrope steppin' on my friends
Walkin' the tightrope it was a shame and a sin
Walkin' the tightrope between wrong and right
Walkin' the tightrope both day and night

Lookin' back in front of me in the mirror's a grin,
through eyes of love I see I'm really lookin' at a friend
We've all had our problems that's the way life is,
my heart goes out to others who are there to make amends

We've been walkin' the tightrope tryin' to make it right
Walkin' the tightrope every day and every night
Walkin' the tightrope bring it all around
Walkin' the tightrope from the lost to found

Walkin' the tightrope stretched around the world
Walkin' the tightrope save the boys and girls
Walkin' the tightrope let's make it right
Walkin' the tightrope do it do it tonight
Walkin' the tightrope

This is one of my favorite songs...its by Ellie Goulding...and its called "Love Me Like You Do"...from the movie "50 Shades of Grey"

and i could write all sorts of stuff regarding the singer and the background of the song...

But I'm not going to...

I simply dedicate this song to my girlfriend Harper...the words say it all...Merry Christmas Baby...

Thank you for giving me a second chance...at love...and at life...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJtDXIazrMo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJtDXIazrMo)  - Ellie Goulding and "Love Me Like You Do"


"Love Me Like You Do"

You're the light, you're the night
You're the colour of my blood
You're the cure, you're the pain
You're the only thing I wanna touch
Never knew that it could mean so much, so much

You're the fear, I don't care
'Cause I've never been so high
Follow me to the dark
Let me take you past our satellites
You can see the world you brought to life, to life

So love me like you do, la-la-love me like you do
Love me like you do, la-la-love me like you do
Touch me like you do, ta-ta-touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?

Fading in, fading out
On the edge of paradise
Every inch of your skin is a holy grail I've got to find
Only you can set my heart on fire, on fire
Yeah, I'll let you set the pace
'Cause I'm not thinking straight
My head's spinning around I can't see clear no more
What are you waiting for?

Love me like you do, la-la-love me like you do (like you do)
Love me like you do, la-la-love me like you do
Touch me like you do, ta-ta-touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?

Love me like you do, la-la-love me like you do (like you do)
Love me like you do, la-la-love me like you do (yeah)
Touch me like you do, ta-ta-touch me like you do

Roxie nice pick ... A definate surprise by them.
Was playing cd on a road trip .. When it started first time.

Very surprised .... Never would have figured them. For a remake of this mellow tune.
Then his vocals give it just a subtle edge. Letting you know, this is not the original.

BTW kind of surprising, and not bad. Another band, helping to write background guitar tracks.

Look for that on youtube.. ... Yeahhh you may not be able to understand the lyrics .
Yet the video is surprisingly kick ass ... Interesting to see the stage show presentation.
Not to mention the crowd antics, as it gets going.

Bonus points .. If you can name. The group, that helped write some of the guitars for them this song.

HOLY flashbacks ......
I am being sent backwards in a time warp .....

Youtube is kicking back at me with some serious old school .. Not sure if I will get to sleep tonight ... Getting pumped up ..

The to listen list .. Tesla Modern day cowboy or is it cowboy of the modern day? You know when they knew how to rock.
Before giving into all that accoustic crap. That helped derail their career.

Warrant Uncle Tom's Cabin ..
Dokken Dream Warriors ..

BTW total shocker ..
Youtube LIVE version .. Lita Ford with Queensryche doing Close my eyes .. Never knew it existed before now.
Her guitar is very impressive. Lita hits it pretty good live.

May finish off with some Sixx A M ...
Hopefully before that time in the morning.. LOL

Hope maybe this is guiding some of you. To some adrenaline fueling rock .. Kick ass drums and screaming guitars!!

The Sound of Silence - Simon and Garfunkle

Surprise with this one .. Most recent album ..
Disturbed did a cover of this .. They even kept it fairly true to form. Happened to hear it one day.
Expected them to go into some harder guitar riffs .. Main thing they did. Started out soft. Then lead singers vocals got stronger and showing his power.
Still ended up, with out them trying to recreate it into a heavy metal fest.

If you have not heard it, and you like the original. Maybe worth giving a listen to.

I've been hearing it every time I watch the "Tomorrow" trailer for Gears of War 4 but because it's not the usual Disturbed sound and the clip chosen for said trailer didn't have Draiman's usual voice I didn't know it was a cover by them until one of the local radio shows here played it about a week ago.

And I have to say I was impressed.
Both by the way David Draiman sang it and how Disturbed decided not to throw it into the grinder by adding their usual instruments and such.

I listen to it at least once a day now lol

... I am an classic oldies listener  if you consider even the 90's music oldies  but no I have listened to Billi Elish .  She has a unique style that kinda reminds me of Mazzy Star with that hauntingly low voice. I like all of Billi's songs but my favorite right now is the theme to the new James Bond movie " No Time To Die"   I think it is good and she is only 17 years old and she took the top awards for her own album but love hard rock as well.

Billie Ellish is one of my favorite singers now today.

 One is “ I Only Have Eyes For You” by The Flamingos which if you watch some movies you hear it especially in American Graffiti

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ydLcXMs9tA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ydLcXMs9tA)

Anyone who would like to add to this please do. There is a wealth of different music out there so put whatever you listen to now or just what you like period in this thread.  :)

Even female fights and their fans have their favorites besides it’s nice to hear from others here. :)

 I like Lexi enjoy older music when I was into it deeply plus now I hear some now and then I like. But I am not listening like I used to so if other people have music they like post here and educate me some on what you like.  :)

But once you start to go a little bit country, you end up rolling down a dirt road in an old pickup truck yelling the chorus of this song out the window.

Hey all ..

Right now listening to Trial by fire from SAUL
(Nothing to do with that show)

HERE is my rock youtube playlist ..
Over 360 songs.
Guarantee something you have not ever heard before. From classic 70's to current releases.

Check it out and maybe find a good fight song for you to use .. When entering the wrestling ring or getting ready for a catfight.
