OT: The Music Thread: Part X

[Gordon Lightfoot]

Even the deep cuts I wrote back in the early 70's are fantastic. That's why I am my favorite songwriter of all time. I could write a story and paint a vivid picture in like 3 minutes.

I doubt that there are many of you out there, but for the uninitiated, Moonie on an average day,



Some of his best work. One of my favorite albums,



Fancied himself a lead singer too,





Never a fan of "Tommy," though there's some good stuff on that too.

Oh, Gordon!

You think you're all that.

That and a bag of chips.

Maybe.

Not a musician in the sense that some here are. For the life of me, I don't see how the Kinks thought the Doors ripped them off (look it up).

Then again I don't know anything about chord progressions, arranging, etc.

I like both songs. And I like the fact that the fractious Davies brothers produced what might be called proto-punk in 1964/65.

Far more sophisticated pop music & lyrics were to come from this most British of bands, but these are still my favorite Kinks singles.

Sly as they were, the Kinks enjoyed trafficking in exuberant garage noise in those early singles.

And they were glorious.

(BTW, Look up the definition of "kink" in your dictionary.)







1979,





1985,

Maybe.

I know it

I am so sorry. My sister's 7-year-old dog has lymphoma She is paying a lot of cash to treat here but there is no cure, and she will not last long.

Thank You and sorry about Sis's dog it's a lot emotionally and (financially these days) to go through.

Always sitting by your side
Always by your side

Some lost songs.

 

[Blowfish]

Said the fight to make ends meet
Keeps a man up on his feet
Holding down his job
Trying to show he can't be bought
Ooh, it takes every kinda people
To make what life's about, yeah
Every kinda people
To make the world go 'round
Someone's looking for a lead
In his duty to a king or to a creed
Protecting what he feels is right
Fights against wrong with his life
There's no profit in deceit
Honest men know that
Revenge does not taste sweet
Whether yellow, black, or white
Each and every man's the same inside
Ooh, it takes every kinda people
To make what life's about, yeah
It takes every kinda people
To make the world go 'round
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
D-doo, doo, doo, doo, dum, dum, dum, ooh-ooh
You know that love's the only goal
That could bring a peace to any soul, ooh
Hey, and every man's the same
He wants the sunshine in his name
Ooh, it takes every kinda people
To make what life's about, yeah
It takes every kinda people
To make the world go 'round
Mmm, every kinda people
To make what life's about

I love Lola, it is one of my brother's favourite songs. For some reason, he never realized it was about a transvestite - so funny, he was very shocked. I guess it happens when people don't really pay attention to lyrics.

Nick Lowe strikes again.

And those royalties were a pleasant bonus.
