MuzikTyme Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Hi, Jenny and Viaene! Thanks for your input! I've always considered Neil Young as the godfather of grunge. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lea Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Well yes but I tried so long to find it and could remember so little about it, I basically gave up looking I thought my memories of it were so off I wouldn't be able to give anyone enough info to be able to find it And just to prove how far off I would have been in any information I would have provided you for a search, I was in my last year of High School when that song came out not Junior High I looked the song up on the main site today Wrong title, wrong year and no idea who sang it. I'm glad I didn't put you guys through that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lea Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Ain't No Sunshine -- Bill Withers My daughter knows that is her song from her mommy. Has been for years Ain't no sunshine when she's gone. It's not warm when she's away. Ain't no sunshine when she's gone And she's always gone too long anytime she goes away. Wonder this time where she's gone, Wonder if she's gone to stay Ain't no sunshine when she's gone And this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away.

greendaddy43 Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 I tried to think of something with a deep political or philosophical bent, but love is the best inspirer of conviction. I completely agree. Found Out About You - Gin Blossoms. Doug Hopkins (the writer/guitarist)became depressed and drunken due to a breakup of a relationship. (GF or wife I can't remember which)he became rebellious and to drunk to perform unreliably on stage. Gin fired/replaced him and continued to tour without him. The group became a success and Doug Hopkins became more depressed partly about not being a part of the band. He commited suicide. I once listening to this song (and only this song) for almost an entire week after having a huge argument with a women. It was nice to know I wasn't the only one who could hurt that bad. That's the definition of conviction if you ask me. All last summer, in case you don't recall, I was yours and you were mine; forget it all. Is there a line that I could write That's sad enough to make you cry? And all the lines you wrote to me were lies. Months roll past the love that you struck dead. Did you love me only in my head? The things you said and did to me Seemed to come so easily. The love I thought I won you give for free. Whispers at the bus stop. I heard about nights out in the school yard. I found out about you. Rumours follow everywhere you go, Like when you left and I was last to know. Well, you're famous now and that's no doubt. In all the places you hang out They know your name and they know what you're about. Whispers at the bus stop. I heard about nights out in the school yard. I found out about you. Street lights blink on through the car window. I get the time too often on A.M. radio. Well, you know it's all I think about. I write your name, drive past your house; Your boyfriend's over; I watch your light go out. Whispers at the bus stop. I heard about nights out in the school yard. I found out about you.

MuzikTyme Posted February 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Hi, greendaddy and thanks for the great lyrics. Suicide is a best friend's worst surprise. I know. Good definition of conviction as I believe it is anything that truly makes you believe. Be well, my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel2Velvet Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Crying - Roy Orbison with kd lang or Lonely Teardrops - Jackie Wilson These singers always conveyed deep convictions in their music. But perhaps the artist who most emotionally inhabited his music was Johnnie Ray . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuzikTyme Posted February 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Hi, S2V and welcome! I have to agree with your choices and alls I have to do is listen to Roy Orbison's voice to feel very great conviction! Thanks for your input.

Shawna Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 What Mattered Most ~ Ty Herndon (don't bother with the video - just close your eyes and listen) I remember crying the first time I heard this. His voice has such a hurt quality to it, he made me believe he meant it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuzikTyme Posted February 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 I'm safe to say that it's one of the all-time great conviction songs! Thanks, Shawna, for a wonderful conviction! I'm going to the store for a box of tissues, anyone need something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
