I'm a big fan of Van Morrison's "Into the Mystic," Victoria William's "Love," and um, all of Al Green?
'Out Of Gas'
Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
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.
Gene Clark, "Here Tonight" - Roadmaster & American Dreamer
Or combine the twin obsessions and go with RT's cover of "Here Without You", with help from Clive Gregson & Christine Collister, "who are absolutely fab and you can buy their record on the way out, you mugs, you suckers you! You've got all that good Republican money jinglin' in your pocket get out there and spend some, get those CDs!" (The recording is from the Bayou in DC & it was recorded the night before the 1988 elections.)
Richard thompson is good. our Thompson collection is limited, but I can find a way around that...
Thank you for the suggestions, everyone.
Thanks for the iTunes help, Teppy!
As for love songs, hmmm...
I keep thinking I should have a suggestion, but my mind is drawing a blank.
yeah, I made two mix tapes of love songs, but when I think about, they are mostly one sided love songs or bitter. I was a teenager.
"Prettiest Eyes" by the Beautiful South. "Love Song" by the Cure.
"Green Eyes" -- Husker Du
"Green Eyes" -- Husker Du
There's a song for people with green eyes? That makes me so very happy.
(I'm the one with the green eyes -- P.'s are kind of blue-grey. But I know songs about people with blue eyes already.)
I see time on EMusic in my future ... might even reinstall Kazaa.
