Peter Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Wow. Just re-listened to “Baker Street” for the first time in years, by Gerry Rafferty from 1978. His father was technically deaf but still taught him Irish “rebel” songs. Now the same 70’s oldie station on Mediacom is playing “Old Time Rock And Roll” by Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band and it is rousing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John King 2112 Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Two by Traffic. Lyricist Jim Capaldi knew how to pen 'em, and Steve Winwood knew how to sing 'em. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Have I mentioned this? There are other versions, but this is ‘THE TOPS!” “The Music Of The Night” (From 'The Phantom Of The Opera' Motion Picture) sung by Michael Crawford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 "Wising you were somehow here again" . . . One of the most beautiful songs ever. Several variations. You decide which is best . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 I think I will relisten to Baker Street now but here are some good solos in the middle of songs that are worth listening to again and/or sung by high pitched voices? “Crying in the Rain” by the Everly Brothers. “Victoria” by The Kinks. “America” by Simon and Garfunkel. “The talk on the bus” section is so great. “They’ve all come to look for America.” “Limelight” by Rush. Wow. That bass guitar! “Ordinary World” by Duran Duran may be my current favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 The lyrics are bit quirky but with the music and singing this is a very sad song. Peter She's Leaving Home by The Beatles Wednesday morning at five o'clock As the day begins Silently closing her bedroom door Leaving the note that she hoped would say more She goes down the stairs to the kitchen Clutching her handkerchief Quietly turning the backdoor key Stepping outside, she is free She,... (we gave her most of our lives) Is leaving (sacrificed most of our lives) Home (we gave her everything money could buy) Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown Picks up the letter that's lying there Standing alone at the top of the stairs She breaks down and cries to her husband Daddy, our baby's gone. Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly? How could she do this to me? She (we never thought of ourselves) Is leaving (never a thought for ourselves) Home (we struggled hard all our lives to get by) She's leaving home, after living alone, for so many years Friday morning, at nine o'clock She is far away Waiting to keep the appointment she made Greeting a man from the Motortrade She (what did we do that was wrong) Is Having (we didn't know it was wrong) Fun (fun is the one thing that money can't buy) Something inside, that was always denied, For so many years,.

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Recently I've been getting into the poetic elements in the songs of Mickey Newbury. His lyrics are a cut way above the normal, even in a country song about a woman leaving him. And, yes, this is a good song for crying. I've had a woman just like he described. And a few friendships. Just like the dawn, my heart is silently breaking... It's her sorrow, it's not a man... I know she tried... It's not her heart. Lord, it's her mind... Just beautiful and poignant as all get out...

Peter Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 One More Night Phil Collins One more night, one more night I've been trying, oh so long to let you know Let you know how I feel And if I stumble, if I fall, just 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 just one more night Oh, one more night 'Cause I can't wait forever . . . .

Peter Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I see I may be exceeded the, ‘oh not another one from him’ range but here is a very sad song. “All alone am I” by Brenda Lee. All alone am I ever since your goodbyeAll alone with just the beat of my heartPeople all around but I don't hear a soundJust the lonely beating of my heart . . . .
