Hello Goodbye - Beatles.

(It's not even Sunday morning yet. Just turned on my radio because they are no longer playing Christmas songs on my favorite classic rock stations, and there it was!)

Good grief. Sunday morning 10:43 a.m. Breakfast with the Beatles - Hello Goodbye!!!!!
 
Right now, I'm listening to Carly Simon sing "You're so Vain" on Kelly & Michael Live on ABC. She definitely still has it and still very beautiful! :)
 
Mary Chapin Carpenter - He Thinks He'll Keep Her

Great team of backing vocalists! :lol: I remember hearing a story about how/why this song was written. So grateful for wikipeida:

The song was motivated in response to a 1970s Geritol TV commercial in which a man points to his wife’s many accomplishments and attributes, and then concludes with "My wife...I think I'll keep her". The song itself, however, is about a woman who leaves an unhappy marriage, despite outward signs that it had been happy if not stable.

I've been listening to some of my mom's records from the 70's and 80's. One of her favorite singers was Anne Murray. She's also one of my favorite singers. I actually liked a lot of music that my mom liked. The same with her, also. She actually loved Fleetwood Mac. She was pretty cool and was also my best friend and my hero in so many ways. My mom was and is my "wind beneath my wings". I believe she still watches over me even in Heaven. <3

One particular song of Anne Murray's stood out above the rest with my mom, and I guess it does for me, too.

Snowbird
 
The Way We Were!!!!! Top song of 1974. They've done the top countdown for that year the past two weeks - American Top 40 - the 70's.

Seasons in the Sun (for the people also on the "hated songs" thread) was number 2. :)

In Breakfast with the Beatles now (extra 35 minutes because of no Bengals game). I'll Be Back -- Man!!!!! Is that one of the prettiest songs in the whole universe? Written by John even!

The entire CD from Lindsey Stirling called Shatter Me. I had not heard of this artist prior to this year. However, I heard the title song "Shatter Me" from Ashtakova/Rogonov's LP and loved the music. So, I looked up the artist and her music is very good. She has an excellent Les Miserables medley.

I think her music will be used by more skaters in the future. I can see Papadakis/Cizeron using some her music.

I've been listening to my Aaron Neville Greatest Hits CD. One of the tracks is Louisiana 1927. I love that song and decided to go on YouTube to find it in order to share. :)

Louisiana 1927 - Randy Newman


Randy Newman wrote this song in 1974 about the flooding of Saint Bernard and Plaquemines Parishes in 1927. It included lyrics about the negative response from the federal government and Calvin Coolidge's reaction to the flood, "isn't it a shame what the river has done to this poor "cracker's" land".

Louisiana 1927 - Aaron Neville & India Arie

The song became identified with Hurricane Katrina after both Aaron Neville and Randy Newman sang it at several fund raisers.
 
Listening to the radio, they are playing Come On Eileen by Dexy's Midnight Runners. For some unknown reason, the station has been playing this song daily.
 
You Lost Me by Christina Aguilera - I'm not a fan of Christina but I'm surprised at how attractive her voice sounds in this song (it doesn't sound like she's trying to shout at the top of her lungs for once)

Give Me One Reason by Tracy Chapman - this one takes me back
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6hQ9HSKlIE

Under The Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers - I'm not familiar with their older stuff but I like this song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwlogyj7nFE

Never Going Back Again by Fleetwood Mac - first heard this song through Glee years ago which was a very different take on the original
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKj1EFeU-cM
 
I'm not listening to it but I can't get the song that we heard repeatedly on "The Good Wife" last night out of my head. And I want it to go away....
 
I got two greatest hits CD's from the library of Aretha Franklin, one focussing on her 60's work and the other for the 70's. I checked my computer and realized I had every single song already. :lol: One that didn't make it to her 60's collection is "Rough Lover". It came out in 1962 and was the ninth single she ever released. (Her first was in 1956!) Rough Lover only made it to #94 even though it was a B-side. If it charted as a B-side, I'm guessing they made the wrong choice as to which side of the single should been promoted! Anyway, this song is ripe for a re-do. Kelly Clarkson covered Aretha on American Idol, I'm sure she could rip this one up. It deserves to be heard by a mass audience! Here's the youtube link:

(I dare you to stay in your seat for this one!!) :lol:

No. I've never heard of Parang, but that mix of cultures sounds very interesting. Anything with an Afro-Latin rhythm floats my musical boat. ;)

I also love Afro-Latino rhythms. According to wikipedia, there's a newer form of parang music that's been blended with soca music (soca is a genre of music from Trinidad that's blends calypso with Indo-Caribbean music). I think it's called soca parang or parang soca.

I've been obsessed with the Hamilton recording lately, especially once I discovered that the producers did all sorts of cool effects for the recording that just sound freakin' amazing. Case in point: Ten Duel Commandments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pClh25TpIp8 Listen to it with a good seat of headphones and you'll see what I mean!

I pretty much love everything about the cast recording; the harmonies, the lyrics, just the way the music is melded together...it's awesome.
 
Amazing Day by Coldplay. A fantastic song that I have played over and over and over...
 
John Denver's "Take Me Home Country Roads." And not because I want to but my team just got spanked by West Virginia and the students have rushed the court and are singing it loudly. I like the song...just not the circumstance.
