The 17 (September 10)


The 17

Tuesday, September 10, 2013

 

Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes (Paul Simon):  I had this song from Graceland in my head after seeing a very interesting 25th anniversary special.


 

You Can Call Me Al (Paul Simon): This was the first Paul Simon song I ever liked.  Couldn’t hear it enough as a kid, and glad it’s in my collection.


 

Go Insane (Lindsey Buckingham):  This is from the Bass Performance Hall live CD.  It’s almost cheesy near the end, but still OK.

 

 

Mad World (Tears For Fears):  I hadn’t heard this in a while, but this may be one of my favorite TFF songs.


 

Whiskey, Whiskey, Whiskey (John Mayer):  Ah, Born and Raised.  Maybe whiskey, whiskey, whiskey can make me forget about Paradise Valley.


 

Ghost Story (Sting):  This song and Big Lie, Small World are two underrated songs off Brand New Day.


 

Golden Years (David Bowie):  My  favorite song right now.

She Blinded Me With Science (Thomas Dolby):  I never got into this song before, but I love everything about it right now.  SCIENCE! 


 

 

Some Days Are Diamonds (Amos Lee):  Love this cover of a John Denver song.

 

 

 

Ice Storming (Aloha):  A nice mood song, even if the mood is kind of bleak.


 

Natural Blues (Moby):  Play is a great album, and this is my favorite song from it.

 

 

Linus And Lucy (David Benoit):  After a few more somber songs, time for a classic, and David Benoit’s version is solid.

 

 

I’m So Afraid (Fleetwood Mac):  Back to somber.  I had never heard the studio version of one of my favorite Fleetwood Mac live songs.


 

World Turning (Fleetwood Mac):  My dad’s favorite Fleetwood Mac song.

Reggatta De Blanc (The Police): 

 

 

 

Bring On The Night (The Police):  Two solid Police songs

 

 

 

The Afterlife (Paul Simon):  Paul Simon’s version of the afterlife?  It starts like a visit to the DMV:  fill out a form first, and then wait in a line.
