Fear can judge the choices(and of course list his own).

Not bad James - I thought of benefits street while listening to that, anything better/deeper that requires more thought?

Oasis - stop crying your heart out.
Stereophonics - Maybe tomorrow.

This is a great line imo;

"I look around at a beautiful life
I've Been the upper side of down
Been the inside of out but we breathe,
We breathe"


 
Dennis, loving you mate thanks for the reminder - One is currently playing..

Keep em coming!
 
Squeeze-Labelled with love
Squeeze-Up the junction
Mott The Hoople-All the young dudes
 
Chirpy chirpy cheep cheep - middle of the road
Mouldy old dough - lieutenant Pidgeon.
4:33 - John Cage
 
Squeeze-Labelled with love = awesome(thank you for the reminder)

Squeeze-Up the junction - dont rate it, I think he just looks for words that rhyme but not necessary great(room was smelly is an example)

Mott The Hoople-All the young dudes = again thanks for the reminder great song/lyrics.
 
Raglan Road - Luke Kelly
Baker Street - Gerry Rafferty
Sultans of Swing - Dire Straits

Great line;

"Another year and then you'd be happy
Just one more year and you'd be happy
but your cryin, your cryin now"

Love the sax too..Its gotta be up there as one of best musical instruments. Just not enough of it in today's music, shame!

 
You probably won't know this one but it's called 'when I'm gone' and it's by Eminem.

If you've followed his story through his music it's a really honest track about his relationship with music/drugs/wife and daughters and the opening verse is brilliant.

"Have you ever loved someone so much, you'd give an arm for?
Not the expression, no, literally give an arm for?
When they know they're your heart
And you know you were their armour
And you will destroy anyone who would try to harm her
But what happens when karma, turns right around and bites you?
And everything you stand for, turns on you to spite you?
What happens when you become the main source of her pain?"

The while song is just lyrically brilliant and rap might not be your thing but I'd recommend giving it a view

When I was a young lad my best mate he was from Belfast, hard a nails he was but he was about the only mate I had that could match me in drinking. Or at least keep up with me and remain standing at the end of night when the rest of em were puking their guts out.

Anyway, this was years ago..And we were all in a pub one night got onto the subject of great songs and great lyrics. And he(the mate from Belfast) said the best song to listen to was Stairway to Heaven but "stoned"...So after the pub closed one night, me, him and a few others, we got some dope and sat in one of our mates cars and got stoned. It was a warmish night but raining and we lit up joint after joint after joint..The rain kept falling and we were making up stories out of the pictures the raindrops made on the car windscreen, its kinda crazy but there is whole new world out there on that car windscreen when it rains(and we could ALL see it).

Anyway we played tune, after tune, after tune from tapes we had in the car(but not stairway to heaven yet!). We smoked, told stories, laughed our bollocks off, opened the door and puked etc...We were basically a bunch of well fucked up teenagers..Then as dawn was approaching we put on Stairway to Heaven - wow!

Never experienced nothing like it, we just all went silent and the song kinda swept through us. Amazing stuff...You know the bit where the lyrics say "and it makes me wonder"? Well that, along with the previous lyrical verses added to being stoned = it just blows your mind. The life on the windscreen is nothing in comparison.

Im not saying try this home by the way...Its just that the song now has made its way into a drawer that somehow no other song can get there.

Crazy stuff eh?
 
But then stairway would be the obvious choice...In the drawer just beneath it I would have see the likes of Wish you here and comfortably numb.
