Kevin Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Noticing a lot of looks, but far fewer players ;as well as comments that the current games are a bit old now, "please allow me to introduce" this game. Too easy ! The current player comments on the song introduced by the previous player. This could take the form of an anecdote, a love/hate reply, etc. Anything goes, and thus all can play-- no brain teasing. Just remember to put a song out for the next poster ! Gotta have a few rules though and I guess these will do: 1. Please, no back-and-forth comments/discussions about any particular song. Keep it moving ! 2. If you really don't have any comment/clue about the current song listed, declare "Pass" and introduce one of your own, with of course, a song for the next poster. Later posters are welcome to backtrack and comment on past 'passes', though, by also declaring a' pass' on the current song. So, all can play, anytime, anywhere, with anyone, and with minimal effort.

edna Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 That was one of the first videos by a black singer on MTV. It was in a double LP, "1999", which went platinum, and the song was in the Top Ten. Now: "Heart of Gold" - Neil Young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earth-Angel Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Tori nearly always sings about personal occurances, and her songs read like a diary to me. "You're just an empty cage girl If you kill the bird I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets I've been raising up my hands Drive another nail in Got enough guilt to start my own religion Please be Save me I cry" It's a ballad to whoever will save her. It's like she feels like she has a public flogging daily, like all her sins are on display for everyone to see and it's her dealing with her guilt and wrongdoing. Also, religion plays a very strong role in her music - and she bases alot of her lyrics on church proceedings or Biblical events.

miamisammy29 Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 "Still the Same" is about a compulsive gambler who likes to play cards (and probably other games of chance) and seems to consistently get away with his cheating. It is from the classic "Stranger In Town" album (released in 1978), and is definitely one of Seger's greatest songs.

guitarshredder Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 I enjoy this song. I find the lyrics really sad and meaningful. I knew a kid who's mother was a complete nutcase and controlled him. He was so jaded, he didnt realize how twisted it was. I gave him this song on a cd and he cried. So therefore i love it. the end New Slang - The Shins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Annabelle_ Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 "New Slang" was released in 2001 as a single and is also on their album Oh, Inverted World. Sort of a folk song with a lovely melody and a couple of nice guitar breaks. "The Needle and the Damage Done" - Neil Young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_jr_ Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 I love this song. One of favorites of Neil's. Terribly poignant. Beautifully sad. My favorite version is fronm the great "Live, Rust Never Sleeps" cd. The way the guitar fades in is a bit cryptic. Baby Come Back ~ Player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Posted November 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 One of those songs which I used to like, but after living in Asia for long enough (where they view simple, melodic western tunes as god-like---don't get me started on the Beatles!) , find a forced, streched grin on my face when played.
