Songs that reverberate

Who Am I by Will Young. Always in my head this one.

P P P P P PEANUT BUTTER! 

"Must be jelly cos jam don't shake"

1. I have also a very eclectic taste and enjoy dabbling with writing lyrics and making my own music.  I found that I don't associate with lyrics directly but I get moved by the energy or a certain aspect of a song. I listened to Jane says by Jane's addiction and i get the vocal delivery stuck in my head for a while. The story in the song has no direct relation to my life. But I feel the energy and there's a more hidden universal message being layed out through the entire performance. Coffee and TV has that effect on me especially Graham's guitars

“Sissy That Walk” by Ru Paul and many of her other ones like “You Betta Werk” as I’m a huge fan of Ru Paul’s Drag Race, especially the All Stars - I love the drama and the “reading” and the “throwing shade” 

Thank you, I discovered the worldwide version and loved it. 

This makes my day normally, I can listen to it on loop. Procol Harum. With a full choir and orchestra. Live recording. Originally Fredrick Choppin. A Whiter Shade of Pale.

I read something recently that said his name comes from Every Mother Is Normal Except Mine. I do relate to that.

The Band has been a special interest for me. They were originally Bob Dylan’s backing band and always referred to as “The Band.” The Weight was written by Robbie Robertson, there was a brilliant recording done in covid lockdown by musicians from around the world. Ringo is on drums and Robbie on lead guitar. It’s on YouTube. The Band did a farewell tour called “ The Last Waltz,” Levon Helm is the lead singer and drummer, his energy in “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down is his best work, I know it’s not a P.C song but Levon is so emotional in it. This is a recording from “ The Last Waltz.” Hope you enjoy it.

The Weight by the Band. I love the part in Easy Rider that features this on the soundtrack.

I generally relate to what makes me seek a sense or sooth a sense, but the average songs I list to a high-quality and have female vocals, I guess masculine/disagreeable vibes make me stressed and overloaded. Then I listen to whatever is for so long, that I can actually reliving and remember certain-feelings and moments in my life, that had drawn me to need to listen to it.

Electric Light Orchestra: Hold On Tight.

We are the champions - Queen. Also gives me encouragement.

Lose yourself - Eminem.

My Fight Song.

Oh and 'Into My Arms' by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.

Can I add 'Complex' by Kate Grigson-MacLeod. It's quite beautiful, but sad. 

'Lay Down Your Weary Tune', by Bob Dylan, is a song that always paints pictures in my mind.

For me it's any song by OMD. I love the electronic synth sound.

At the moment it's Enola Gaye that echoes round my head.

I can't sleep. I've got Raspberry Beret by Prince swinging around my ears.

Not paricularly current tracks, but for me:

The Cult - She Sells Sanctuary

Simple Minds - Waterfront
