Feels Like The First Time / I Want To Know What Love Is

In 1977, Foreigner released their self-titled debut album. Talk about an instant classic. Great songs, great memories. Feels Like The First Time is one of my favorite songs ever, by any band. I would…

Let It Be

The Beatles are the biggest rock band in history. Like, world history. They are the standard by which many others gauge their influence, whom most emulate, from whom they borrow, to whom they credit their…

Chasing Cars

Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol is an unassuming little ballad from the later aughts, and for me it’s a comfortable, beautiful song about knowing you’ve found the one, again. I met my Woof and he was wounded;…

Together In Electric Dreams

Not the first Vincent song. Won't be the last. He LOVED this song, and I loved it too, never even knowing it. It’s from some dumb eighties movie, called Electric Dreams, (where, subsequently, actress…

Hold The Line

Much like my post 2 days ago about Duran Duran, a similar thing can be said. How can you choose one amazing song by Toto, when there were so damn many? Love songs and pop smashes, all of which soared the…

Maybe I’m Amazed

('Maybe I'm amazed at the way you’re with me all the time. Maybe I'm afraid of the way I leave you')I took a lot of things away from my ten years with my ex-partner, but the most was his loyalty to the ones…

Save A Prayer

Let’s talk about Duran Duran, shall we? I mean, these guys were the shit. In a way, they kind of still are. Pop sensations breaking ground and mastering the art of the music video, songs that are so…

50 to 50Nov 29, 2015DAY 22

Reelin In The Years / Do It Again

Finally, songs from a band that aren’t going to make anyone try and hang themselves! Steely Dan has released a good amount of amazing music, but for me there are 2 giants, and they are Reelin’ In The Years…

50 to 50Nov 28, 2015DAY 23

From A Distance / Get Here

A pair of songs from 1990 and 91, both of which bring me to my mother and to the hope for peace in the world and the need to tell the people you love that you love them. From A Distance was released during…

As Long As You Love Me / You Will Be In My Heart

Anyone who knows me knows that 1997 was the most horrific year of my life. It was the year I lost faith in God and watched as two beautiful, small children had to move forward in the world without the most…

Show Me The Way

Picture, if you will, driving from Lynbrook, Long Island, to Miami, Florida, in a smoke filled wood-paneled station wagon, 3 howling boys with no seat belts, bouncing from back seat to cargo area without…

Hello

As promised a few days back, here again is Lionel Richie. Basically, the entire album Can’t Slow Down is amazing and classic, but for the sake of narrowing as much as I can, I will talk about my favorite…

Cool Change

Mostly, today’s song is about sailing under a bright full moon, but as a kid back in those early Pocono days, feeling trapped and wounded, this song was about hopeful release, the yearning for freedom, in…

How Much I Feel

Back to the late 1970’s again with a band that had a few moderately successful hits in a time when music was changing drastically. AM Radio was fading away as punk and pop were moving to the forefront, but…

Creep

('I wish I was special..You're So fucking special') This song, aptly entitled Creep, is a refined mix of soulful rhythm and taunting rock guitar jabs. I remember hearing it for the first time at a house…
