Thanks Ange. I'm like an Australian Abraham Lincoln - the father of his country.
Nice pic of you and your Grandson.
Hi to a lot of 'old' friends whom I see have posted recently, Dear Edna, Laurie, Carole, Tim, Ken..... special congratulations to you.
I also saw EYEgor drop in briefly. Had to get my DVD of Young Frankenstein and watch it again. Hilarious. Pity that most of the actors in it are deceased.
Thank you for the compliment OL55 ; and thank you for sharing your Christmas photo. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and your New Year is full of love , health and great things. 😊🎉. Cheers; Ange

This place was *way* ahead of it's time. Songfacts was a kind of facebook before facebook was facebook, but for music freaks. Then a few things happened. We had a server change and the format of our beloved Songfacts boards changed. They weren't like what you see here. Then facebook came along, and with it a songfacts facebook thing. I think the posts became fewer and farther in between. I still come here, I don't always "officially" sign in, but I am usually here once a day. There was a tight vibe for quite some time. A tribal vibe, kind of a family type deal.
Thanks Ken 😊

Cat Stevens? I thought it was Rod Stewart that sang that song?
To me it sounds like someone got their heart broken so badly that it made them unable or unsure about loving another person again.
I thought it was Rod Stewart as well

That sounds about right, I vaguely remember him talking about an older woman that he slept with she was his first she was older and she broke his heart

On 11/9/2013 at 2:45 AM, Carl said:When I prepare for an interview, at some point the essence of the subject becomes clear, and I know what I want to ask. It took me a few days to get there with Adam Duritz.
Most of us have some overarching theme that comes through in our worldview, and songwriters often express that in their songs. For much of Adam's career, this was the burden of fame, as Counting Crows released one of the best-selling debut albums of all-time, and in a short period of time, Adam's intimate moments became public - not just in his terrestrial life, but also in his songs.
But that was a long time ago.
Now that the adulation has subsided, Adam has become more guarded in his creative output, which means he won't just pour his heart out in a song and foist it on the public. The last Counting Crows album was all cover songs, which spared him this burden.
This all stems from Adam's revelation that his songs are all about him. He doesn't enter the mind of someone else, and he doesn't write on spec (even that Shrek song delved into his psyche).
When I spoke with Adam yesterday, I was happy to hear him expound on upcoming projects with a newfound passion. With that out of the way, we explored songwriting technique, where he explained that it's the rich, authentic details that matter. Adam mentions real and specific people and places in his songs (Anna, the New Amsterdam), which is what paints their vibrant colors. And yes, Springsteen came up in this conversation.
I'll post the link once we put this together, but wanted to share some of these thoughts while they were still fresh.
As an aside, if you were to put boy parts together to create the perfect specimen that would attract beautiful actresses, you would end up with the 1994-1996 version of Adam. His combination of mystery and talent landed him two Friends stars when the show was the hottest thing on TV, plus Mary Louise Parker, Samantha Mathis, and a few others he remains coy about.

Has anyone seen Nick Cave's Conversations tour? I was just wondering and I can't seem to find out too much. It's an intimate gig, and therefore it's been advertised as a solo so he can interact with the audience, but I know he will perform a couple of numbers, what I'm dying to know is if he'll have Warren Ellis with him, those two are practically joined at the hip, they seem to almost have some sort of mental telepathy happening, It would be AMAZING if he came out to Australia with Nick and of course I'm hoping the gorgeous Susie Bick attends.

I am totally heartbroken by the amount of songs that have been about suicide!
You just never really realize do you? Please reach out if you need some one
It's not a suicide song but if I was to pass away, I would love Nick Cave to read my Eulogy lol. My best friend wants Morgan Freeman and my other friend wants James Earl Jones. I could listen to Nick forever, there's nothing more sexy than a well spoken person.!!!!! SORRY I had to get that out lol

Back on to Hillbilly moon explosion, This Woman is so talented; she sings in quiet a few different languages and sounds AMAZING in every song, I would definitely say she's my girl crush lol, it's ok my hubby knows, he just laughs, the way I go on about Nick Cave and Warren Ellis I'm surprised he talks to me. Lol.
It's not as though I'm going anywhere.

How do you submit a song that is already in the SongFact database to a category that it should belong to but isn't already?

Here's the place to give us your suggestions for topics and themes, as well as other suggestions, so they don't get lost in the shuffle.
With our last two lists, Songfactors' Choice has really gained popularity. So far we've done:
- Best Soundtracks
- Christmas Wish List
- Holiday Special
- The Very Best of 2007
- Women Gone Wild!
- Distinctive Debuts
We need ideas for universal themes, to encourage the great participation we've been getting. Obviously, the more popular the topic, the more nominations (such as the last two lists) we get, which is the whole point.
Which leads to the suggestion of lists of 10, rather than 5. It's great idea... as long as we have the participation to support it. So we have suggestion #1, which is under serious advisement.
Give us whatcha got!

Zhivko created an RSS feed for our Songwriter Interviews and feature stories, which includes the Songfactor's Choice.
On any interview, just click the little RSS icon:
This means every time we post an interview or story, it will show up in your feed reader, which in my case is my Yahoo home page. This RSS thing is a good way to find out when a new post happens without having to constantly check the blog. Post here if you want to know more.

Nice pic of you and your Grandson. 
Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” is the top pick for funeral song

I felt that I really needed to post on this as my mum recently told me she wanted to have 'I did it my way " when she passed; it is a beautiful song and it does really reflect well on mu mum as she can be known to be... shall we say " Quiet Stubborn " lol.
We lost my dad quite suddenly in July 2018 after a four month battle with cancer 😪 We were and still are shattered, my dad chose to have Macho Man by the Village people as he was taken from the church, the whole place was laughing hysterically; that was my dad though; always wanted to make the best of a bad situation, and as it was my mum and his second marriage, it was a fairly casual occasion and they had Macho Man as their wedding song lol, very romantic. LOL
I miss you Daddy
