Popular Post Wilfrid1 Posted March 15, 2004 Popular Post Share Posted March 15, 2004 Van Morrison, The Healing Game. One of his later albums, but with some great tracks - the title track, The Burning Ground and This Once Was My Life (with Georgie Fame's call-and-response backing vocals) all hold up well. Also, I have been constantly replaying Polly Harvey's Songs from the City, Songs from the Sea album - far and away her most entertaining work, I think. 75 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Abbylovi Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Just saw All the Real Girls and I am dying to get the soundtrack. Other than that, Damien Rice has been sitting in the CD player for the last few weeks along with Coldplay and All Songs Considered. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Abbylovi Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 There are a few of them...which are the best? I've just been listening to #3. I suspect that they're all good--they're curated by the guy who selects music to run in between pieces on All Things Considered. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wilfrid1 Posted March 18, 2004 Author Share Posted March 18, 2004 In a hostelry last night, I was impressed by the soft soul stylings of someone I am told is called Remy Shade. Further than that, I am informed he is a Canadian and the only white artist on Motown. I said I thought that was R. Dean Taylor, but I only got a blank look. In fact, his name is Remy Shand, and I see no mention of Motown. You can't always trust cocktail waitresses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slapsie Maxie Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 I a lifetime of profound miserbalism, it is nice to seek out those who are even more so Have been listening to Gilbert O Sullivan's Alone Again ( Naturally ) Alone Again (Naturally) In a little while from now If I’m not feeling any less sour I promise myself to treat myself And visit a nearby tower And climbing to the top will throw myself off In an effort to make it clear to who Ever what it’s like when you’re shattered Left standing in the lurch at a church Where people saying: "My God, that’s tough She's stood him up" No point in us remaining We may as well go home As I did on my own Alone again, naturally To think that only yesterday I was cheerful, bright and gay Looking forward to well wouldn’t do The role I was about to play But as if to knock me down Reality came around And without so much, as a mere touch Cut me into little pieces Leaving me to doubt Talk about God and His mercy Or if He really does exist Why did He desert me in my hour of need I truly am indeed Alone again, naturally It seems to me that there are more hearts broken in the world that can’t be mended Left unattended What do we do? What do we do? Alone again, naturally Now looking back over the years And whatever else that appears I remember I cried when my father died Never wishing to hide the tears And at sixty-five years old My mother, God rest her soul, Couldn’t understand why the only man She had ever loved had been taken Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken Despite encouragement from me No words were ever spoken And when she passed away I cried and cried all day Alone again, naturally Alone again, naturally Probably the funniest song ever written Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Slapsie Maxie Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 When you start listening to Oh Claire, I shall worry. Clair Clair, the moment I met you I swear I felt as if something somewhere Had happened to me Which I couldn't see, and then The moment I met you again I knew in my heart we were friends. It had to be so It couldn't be no But try as hard as I might do I don't know why You get to me in a way I can't describe Words mean so little when you look up and smile I don't care what people say, To me you're more than a child Oh! Clair, Clair. Clair, if ever a moment so rare Was captured for all to compare That moment is you It's all that you do But why in spite of our age difference do I cry Each time I leave you I feel I could die Nothing means more to me than hearing you say I'm going to marry you Will you marry me Uncle Ray? Oh! Clair, Clair. Clair, I've told you before Don't you dare Get back into bed Can't you see that it's late No you can't have a drink Oh! all right then but wait just a bit While I, in an effort to baby sit, Catch of my breath what there is left of it. You can be murder at this hour of the day But in the morning this hour Will seem a lifetime away Oh! Clair, Clair Quote Link to post Share on other sites
