What song are you listening to?

[Andrushka]

Ecstasy by Crooked Still my best friend sent it to me because she thought it'd suit my voice,my boyfriend has learned to play it on the guitar for me.

[Susan1]

Fool on the Hill (such a pretty song!)

 

[Susan1]

You Can't Do That - Beatles

(turned off American Top 40 - the 70's early because they were doing this week in 1978 - Disco - yuck)

"Song for Sharon" by Joni Mitchell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rG0kNny3WlY .

First heard it when I was just a couple of years out of high school back in 1976-77. It made a huge impression on me then and has been one of my favorites ever since.

 

[Susan1]

It's Only Love - Beatles.

I had to listen to all of American Top 40 - the 70's this morning. 1972 We were moving into this house (that I inherited) that summer.

#3 - If Loving You is Wrong (I Don't Wanna Be Right) - Luther Ingram (gives me chills just typing it)
#2 - Brandy - Looking Glass
#1 - Alone Again Naturally - Gilbert O'Sullivan (I can so clearly remember that that song was the #1 song of the year, and listening to the top 100 songs on New Year's Eve.)

Watching too much Olympics, but I did just receive 3 old school prog albums from Amazon that I haven't listened to in forever. Trespass, and Wind and Wuthering by Genesis, and In the Court of the Crimson King, by King Crimson, will be in my car stereo shortly.

 

[Johnny_Fever]

Norwegian Wood

Perhaps the best Beatles song.

 

[Johnny_Fever]

If you saw the James Bond Spectre film do you remember the opening scene in Mexico City? I cannot get those drums..leading to familiar Bond music...out of my head. I'm not sure I want to...I like them.

I watched Spectre today. Yeah, I'm late to the party. Anyway, now I can't get those drums out of my head.

 

[Susan1]

She's A Woman
just switched to
If I Needed Someone (get the chills off my arms)

 

[easilydistracte]

RIP, Toots. Will miss you.

"Bluesette": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oi4G6UmYK9U .

One of my favorites. Always wished someone would skate to it.

 

[Vash01]

I'll be there - Jackson 5

 

[Susan1]

Please Please Me (I don't have to put who my songs are by every Sunday morning, do I?)

 

[Susan1]

Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting - Elton John. (have the album that song was on - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road)

(Thought I'd mix it up a little - American Top 40 The 70's - 1973)

#1 song this week - Louie Louis by The Stories. I had that 45 (well, still do - nothing to play it on though).

Changed to Breakfast with the Beatles - Every Little Thing.

Sidebar - I was listening to Blackbird while I was reading this story - http://www.freep.com/story/news/col...6/09/03/terry-matlen-paul-mccartney/89764094/

This is one of the most glorious songs ever written/recorded. I could just listen to it for hours on end:

Tina Turner - Something Special

 

[Aussie Willy]

Haven't visited this thread for a while. Just a few of the latest songs I have been listening to (with some Australian music of course )

First is a band called Big Scary - The Opposite of Us. One of the best songs going around at the moment.
Next Vera Blue - Hold - I saw her live the other night. She has the most amazing voice - literally gives me chills.
Gretta Ray just won Triple J's Unearthed competition. She supported Vera Blue the other night. Only 18 years old but sounds much older than her years. Her song is Drive.
This one is Just a Gent featuring LANKS (LANKS supported Vera Blue as well) but this is a Like a Version of a song that LANKS wrote Heavy as a Heartbreak. Interesting thing about this performance is they had hardly rehearsed before they went into the studio to perform it. Amazing.
Something a bit more obscure - DD Dumbo - Satan

And not Australian but I love this one - Glass Animals - Life Itself

 

[Artemis@BC]

Last week I had Dolly Parton's Nine to Five in my head for days. Probably because I was transitioning from a work-at-home set-my-own-hours position to an office environment. :/

But for the past few days I've had the overture to Candide in my head. And I have no idea why.

 

[Susan1]

If I Fell - Beatles

 

[Susan1]

Julia - Beatles

 

[Susan1]

Another Sunday morning - I'll Follow the Sun - just changed to Old Brown Shoe.

 

[Cachoo]

Something new for a change: "Giant" by Banks and Steelz

 

[easilydistracte]

Almost the end of September, and it's still nearly as hot as summer here where I live; nevertheless, the Autumnal Equinox reminded me of Tony Rice's version of "Urge for Going": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r02GieDOJ9k

Joni Mitchell's original song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvSvTRhAJxg

 

[PeterG]

This is one of the most beautiful songs I've heard (love the lyrics too):

Soul Attorneys - So They Say

 

[Cachoo]

Mary J. Blige just made an old Bruce Springsteen song relevant again. It is called "American Skin" and it was written after the shooting of Amadou Diallo in NYC in 1999. As the song says there were 41 shots when the man was reaching for his wallet. Blige sang it to Hillary Clinton in an interview in the last few days. I like that Bruce looks at it from both sides in this song. It is a shame that the song is still relevant.

[bardtoob]

Not brand new, but fun

Sean Kingston - Fire Burning

https://youtu.be/YkyhvCdJ_vM

 

[PeterG]

Instrumentation removed, so only the vocals remain:

Whitney Houston - How Will I Know

 

[Jay42]

Arcade Fire - Rebellion (Lies)
Amanda Palmer - Astronaut

My playlists are really liking artists that start with A today.

 

[PeterG]

If we're starting with the A's then, I nominate this beautiful song:

Agnetha Fältskog - Maybe It Was Magic

 

[Susan1]

Imagine
just changed to
Let It Be

 

[Cachoo]

From Mom's room : "Sugar Pie Honeybunch: You know that I love you....." I can't remember the name of the song.

 

[Susan1]

From Mom's room : "Sugar Pie Honeybunch: You know that I love you....." I can't remember the name of the song.

That's it! Technically, it is "I Can't Help Myself" (the next words after that), but it's one of those songs that has other words in parentheses (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch) on the record label (what's a record label, you ask?????) because that's what everybody called it because that's the most catchy part. The Four Tops.

And I feel way old considering I know this and so would your mom!!!
