Prince - "When Doves Cry"

8/28/2014

Oh Throwback Thursday / my Friday for this week. Prince. I should have seen this coming as we entered the 80's.

I was certainly not a teenage girl in the 80's, so maybe I don't get it. But... I don't get it. The music is sexy, the man is just not my type. The song is not bad though, and as much as I want to say the beat doesn't fit the sadder lyrics, somehow it works. So, kudos there.

How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold (So cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry

Paul Simon - "One Man's Ceiling Is Another Man's Floor"

A major thanks for Miss Katie for this recommendation to get us through day 3 of 4 this week (yay holiday weekend). I think what I dig here most is just how simple and honest this is. It's, as Katie put it, "a fun, feel good, bluesy track." She's got it right on the nose there - the track's an easy listen sleeper that's just nice and gentle into the end of the day here.

There's been some strange goin's on
And some folks have come and gone
And the elevator man don't work no more
I heard a racket in the hall
And I thought 1 heard a fall
But I never opened up my door
It's just apartment house sense
It's like apartment rents
Remember : one man's ceiling
is another man's floor

Rascal Flatts - "Payback"

Country Friday!! Thanks to the fantastic Catherine for the recommendation, and to a cool Friday morning with storm clouds to set the mood. Heh. But really, I kind of dig this one Rascal Flatts serves up. It's definitely from the current batch of Nashville songwriters that are ruling the airwaves, and I can't hate it.

Gonna have a real good time
Don't worry 'bout your tab, girl, put it on mine
We can show him what he can't have
If you wanna play that game
Yeah, baby I can be your payback

Kenny Chesney - "I Go Back"

A nice easy, good ol' country song for this Friday. Be nostalgic with me, k? And have a great sunshine filled day and weekend y'all. :)

"Jack and Diane" painted a picture of my life and my dreams,
Suddenly this crazy world made more sense to me
Well I heard it today and I couldn't help but sing along
Cause everytime I hear that song...

....

We all have a song that somehow stamped our lives
Takes us to another place and time

...

Now "Only The Good Die Young" stops me in my tracks
Everytime I hear that song,

I go back....

George Michael - "Faith"

A great throwback to a great year - 1988. This was the #1 song of the year that I and my awesome buddy Joe were born. At least if my math's right. If not, heh, sorry man.

But really, the song's a blast, so mellow yet fun at the same time. I feel like George's voice is the only reason for that. Tell me you can resist twisting around a little here, and I'll call you nuts and out of touch.

Before this river
Becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh baby I reconsider
My foolish notion
Well I need someone to hold me
But I'll wait for something more

Yes I've got to have faith....

Maurico - "City Come Alive"

Today was supposed to be an office worker choice (sorry Catherine - I'll get you next week), but this popped up, courtesy of Billboard Updates, this morning, and it felt like a call. For all of you who I have to keep harping on Nashville being about more than country, this guy puts it great. Rap song about Nashville? Hell yeah.
