Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Hiya. This isn't usually a thread I follow, because my music love tends to be pretty shallow and fleeting. But there's a song that's been in my head all weekend, and I just can't remember enough about it to find it on YouTube and play it half a dozen time to get it out of my head.

(I worked in a CD store way back when, and I'm having flashbacks to customers coming in for a country CD by some guy singing about his lost love. Oh, and the cover might be brown. *sigh*)

Anyway. If someone can figure out the song from this bare-bones description, please, that would be wonderful.

It starts off with a rumble of thunder (but it’s not “This Corrosion,” although I’m not ruling out Sisters of Mercy). It’s very lush and has sort of sweeping melodic lines throughout, as well as the sound of rain. The last line of the chorus is something like “It’s true for you.” The vocalist is male with a fairly lyrical baritone voice.

I think it’s from the late ‘80s, to very early ‘90s—no later than ’91. And I can tell you a few other things it’s not:

London After Midnight – Sacrifice
The Same Deep Water as You – The Cure
Kingdom of Rain – The The

Anyone?

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'm famliar with two different "Bad Boy" songs, one by Miami Sound Machine and one by Inner Circle.

It isn't in the title, but the Shangri-Las explain the difference between "good," "bad," and "good-bad, but he's not evil" in "Give Him a Great Big Kiss."

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

London After Midnight – Sacrifice The Same Deep Water as You – The Cure Kingdom of Rain – The The

Anyone?

Well, I am now earwormed with two of them but I can't think of what your mystery song is. Which is sad, because I am certain once it's discovered I will know it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm going through my husband's CDs and listing them on half.com (at his request), and he's got a copy of "Relics" by Pink Floyd, except it has almost twice as many tracks as any other listings I can find. I don't suppose anyone knows about some comprehensive pink Floyd site?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

oh Dana, did you look at secondspin.com first as a place to sell? I think they had better prices for lots of stuff and it is a guaranteed sell.

No, sorry. That's not it. Thanks, though.
