Delta Spirit - Bushwick Blues

Hold on to my hand
Never let go
Never let go
We were just two kids acting tough
Then we grew up
Me, not so much

All the other guys that you've seen
are nothing compared to me
Because my love is strong
And my heart is weak
After all

When we first met
We spoke so brief
When you sang a sonnet
I hummed sweet relief
Do you recall that night we took the L
Out into Bushwick
It was colder than hell

So maybe there
We should have stopped
Cause I'm left here feeling like a cop
Because my love is strong
And my heart is weak
After all

To the other side
of the state's return
I met a young girl
Well I couldn't manage her
Because I think of you
In every girl i meet
It's no relief
That sounds to me just as sweet

So maybe I'm the fool for feeling used
By the way we kissed that night i though you knew
Because my love is strong
And my heart is weak
After all

Just ONE? Sheesh, no way could I pick one.

I can't even pick one favorite genre... I've got several different playlists just for youtube...

For cleaning, for dancing, karaoke practice... each has different (and some the same) songs spread across more than 50 years and all genres... turn on puter, youtube, select a playlist, and off you go...

Hmmm... and considering family site and all... think I'll go with this one...

Canon D ala electric guitar... love it. No lyrics, just a lovely tune.

Quote:
Got married to that song. But a slower version as I remember. That was cool. The kid can really play.

For an instrumental on guitar, I like Rodrigo and Gabriella's take on Metallica's ORION

I run a little insurrection that moves in the direction that beauty is
beauty in
spite of
perfection
see the crosses at the roadside
see the thornbush ablaze in bloom
put your feet in the sand, a lukewarm beer in your hand
momma, let down your hair
yes, I´ve chipped a tooth
no need to call home
I don´t have to be anywhere

we can hear the bossa nova
we can sway the night away
the steps to the dance are best left up to chance
better beautiful than perfect, anyway
and while the moon wanes and waxes
death and taxes are lurking out there
Life is grand, Love is real and Beauty is everywhere

And so the clear blue sky
no, she never made a sound
though she was blindfolded, gagged and bound
now see the poppies pushin´ up through the bones on the ground
but the body´s never found

chorus

can you hear the bossa nova?
let us sway the night away...

This song holds a lot of meaning to me, so much so that I have the title in spanish incorporated into a tatoo. The band does 2 shows a year in mexico, first one I went to the singer wore my hat for a couple of songs(something he does for a lot of the fans) and went to toss it back to me, well the guy in front of me jumped up for it and the large camera he had around his shoulder came up and smacked me in the face, breaking both of my front teeth. It would be 4 days later before going back to the states, but it was still an AWESOME trip. I've followed the band for years, they're great.

Along those same lines Phaethona , here you have the Hothouse Flowers with Be Good.

Well we went out past the city limits trying to get a better point of view
You were staring hard at me, I was staring back at you
And you said I was being secretive, said yes may be you're right
But if there is logic in any of this madness you'll find it in my eyes

And be good, be kind, be truthful and feel free
And keep your wholly loving eyes on me

I've got a history of questions, the truth I can only feel
What matters to me the most is what is there and what is real
We could start by shaking each other and talk about something else
And I know in the end we can get to the point and we can go and get some rest

And be good, be kind, be truthful and feel free
And keep your wholly loving eyes on me

Is it not written in the music, is it not painted in the skies
It's time we stopped talking about soft drinks started talking about our lives
There are answers in the music and there are answers in the words
And if we stopped talking in circles we might get closer to the earth
And be good, be kind, be truthful and feel free
And keep your wholly loving eyes on me

Jotun by In Flames

Great music, even if you don't understand the words...
And there's some debate over what those lyrics mean.
I'm to the view that it's referring to us humans blowing ourselves up, but some disagree.

Some of those lyrics might be considered adult (one particular word really but better safe than sorry) so I'll just let those who wish to snoop snoop, they aren't hard to find.

Oh, and warning it's pretty heavy so you might want to turn DOWN your speakers until you find your groove.

Daft Punk - Around the World.

The only lyrics are Around the world ad infinitum.
