1. That was a good video...
...however, this is the greatest love song, IMHO.

30. Let it thaw>>>>
Oh I will, I have simply temporarily frozen it because I've had it turned up out of control for a while and I need to just be me enough to clear my head enough to chart my life where it needs to go.

Too emotional is too hard right now.

:hug:

although dancing in the yard sounds like fun...

7. You and I must have been born on the same planet or something
Edited on Tue Jun-26-07 09:57 PM by darkstar
I can't tell you the depths to which I've geeked to this version in particular. Perfect tempo, harmonies, dynamics, etc.

So some Qs for you and all reading this:

Have you seen Festival Express?
What version of the dead's "Day's Between" were you listening too the other night?


And while I love It Makes No Difference, the best love song ever written is most likely Jefferson Airplane's "Today."

If we disagree in strong enough terms, maybe we can get this moved to GD?



PS: Ms. DS just got home from a couple of days out of town. Apologies if it takes a bit to get back.

And the dawn won't rsecue me.

10. Hello my friend...
I have seen only clips of the Festival Express...one of the drunken train scenes....New Speedway....etc.

As far as the "Days Between" version, I can't tell you exactly, but I believe it was a 1993 version that I found on the archives site. If you are not familiar with this site, let me know and I will post it. I mainly use it to stream music while I am posting.

I am not familiar with the song "Today", but I will check it out. "It Makes No Difference" evokes a strong emotional response from me because it brings me back to a special time in my life.

Very good to hear from you darkstar.

38. At Last by Etta James - Nothing beat it, NOTHING IMHO
At last
My love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song

Ohh yeah yeah
At last

The skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you

I found a dream, that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known

Ohh yeah yeah?
You smiled, you smiled

Oh and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
for you are mine....

At Last

39. This one's pretty good.

"I need you more than want you.
And I want you for all time."

It that's all Jimmy Webb ever wrote it would have been just fine.

(Dig the weird "Land of the Giants" set and the baritone guitar solo.)

55. Walk Forever By My Side
I know, I have to find an obscure deep cut from an obscure Eighties act better known for rabble-rousing folk punk anthems, but hey, it's my favorite:

http://www.thealarm.com/lyricdisp.asp?id=94

Mrs. Bluedog respectfully submits "I Will Always Love You", the Dolly Parton version (not the histrionic Whitney Houston debacle).
