New Draft - Songs about Imperfect Relationships (1 Viewer)

Someone has not been updating spreadsheet, so I'm unsure where I am on categories. I did search "vain" in this thread. I was stunned that there were four instances, but none for this incredible, R1 song

R11 - Leaving

Rolling Stones / Love in Vain

This is one of the first rock songs that I attached to on a visceral level, driving around in high school, listening to it on my 8 Track.

Whoa, I felt so sad so lonesome
That I could not help but cry

When the train left the station
It had two lights on behind
Yeah, when the train left the station
It had two lights on behind

Whoa, the blue light was my baby
And the red light was my mind

All my love was in vain

 
no, no joke.  

I noticed a 4-5 days ago when I brushed my tongue it felt weirdly numb and i had a metallic taste - I couldn't place it right away, but it's like when you get numbing shots at the dentist.

since then, the taste has gotten slightly worse and my upper lip felt odd and kind of twitched

earlier today I noticed I couldn't blink just my right eye (can blink if I do both of them), significantly harder to drink without losing a bit of it, and the right side of my face felt numb

wife made me call the after hours number for my doctor - he recommended going to the ER as a precaution (only a precaution) ...after discussion I am going in Monday morning - no way do I want to hit the ER with all the Covid stuff and hassle - I am not having a stroke

had a couple of friends over the years get this - I don't have drooping face yet so fingers crossed ...
Hope it turns out ok.

 
I second going to the ER sooner versus later. I doubt you are going to go today, but if you are feeling funky in the face tomorrow I hope you go to the ER.  I would think that the ER has some system set up to keep people at a distance. There is usually less people in the morning.
Thanks - I wasn't really thinking about the ramifications when I posted that.  I was kind of pissed that it was happening and thought it would be interesting to track it here.  

The doc had to say that otherwise it would be irresponsible.  

I am cooking miscellaneous tonight - leftovers, piece-meals and having some of my usual VO/Diet cokes

all is good.  

Tylenol seemed to take away the headache and the dull pain that was on the right side of my face.  Just moving along.  

 
Meant to do an entire draft of Texas Musicians only, but that was just not possible.  This song makes the cut either way.

ROUND 12: Think It Over One Time (before you break in your walking shoes).  Robert Earl Keen, LEAVING.

10- Leaving:

Glenn Hansard + Markéta Irglová- when your minds made up

So, if you want something
And you call, call
Then I'll come running
To fight and I'll be at your door
When there's nothing worth running for


When your mind's made up
When your mind's made up
There's no point trying to change it


When your mind's made up
When your mind's made up
There's no point trying to stop it, you see


You're just like everyone
When the #### falls
All you wanna do is run away
And hide all by yourself
When there's far from, there's nothing else


When your mind's made up
When your mind's made up
There's no point trying to change it


When your mind's made up
When your mind's made up
There's no point even talking


When your mind's made up
When your mind's made up
There's no point trying to fight it


When your mind's, your mind
Love, love
There's no point trying to change it
When your love


So if you ever want something
And you call, call
Then I'll come running
I was thinking of joining (very) late and dropping a bunch of songs on you guys, and this was one.  By far my favorite from The Swell Season or anything else they called themselves.  It just does it for me every time.  That build...

Thanks so much for taking this.  Everyone needs to hear this song more.

 
Round 12 - Cheating - Jolene, Dolly Parton

A classic, of course, but i love any chance to play this cover of it by........Bizarro Dolly Parton. Somebody took the 45rpm single and played it @ 33rpm and it might even be better. One certainly doesn't miss what one might in the chirpiness of Miss Parton's inimitable style.

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you
Jolene

He talks about you in his sleep
And there's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name
Jolene

And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me
Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me
Jolene

I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do
Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can
Jolene, Jolene
 
If anyone could be troubled to do it, I'd love to have these (and the food draft songs, too) made into actual Spotify playlists.  I read of songs I don't know and somehow don't feel like I have time to listen to them individually, but I could put a playlist on while working out and get the benefit of all your great stuff.  I realize that I sound lazy and also that I say this despite not making a playlist of my own food draft.

On my short list. I hoped it would last

Here, here.  I feel like I spend most of my time catching up with my own picks, and at least half the tunes are sloughed off. Would love to link to a playlist and let it bluetooth to my car speakers for the next few weeks.  

Alas, I subscribe to Google Play, not Spotify.  Full disclosure, Google Play can be shared too, but I'm lazy.

I WAITED TOO LONG ...GREAT SONG

GIGANTAGORIC SNIPE

I could do Google Play, too!  I'd just like an easy way for my lazy ### to listen to all this.  I've loved so many picks that I knew but I'm intrigued by those I didn't.

 
Careful, some of those categories could get the thread axed
That seems likely.  Also, some of those are just a bit dark.  

We might be better off with the Seven Deadly Sins:  Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Stampeding Cattle, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, and Pride.  Maybe two of each with some wildcrads?

if i can find something on youtube where Charlie Parker collaborates with Sons of the Pioneers, i can cover those in one song....

 
Most of the cheating songs seem to be from the point of view of the cheated upon.  This lovely lyrical piece is from the cheater's POV:

Round 12  Cheating  -  What Have I Done?  -  LeAnn Rimes

Oh my love what have I done?
Oh my love what have I done?

I shot an arrow in your heart that
I can't take back
When I said, "You were my first love
But you are not my last"

For far too long I hid my face
I fed off your forgiving grace
Well I know your pride it must've
Took a beating
When I used your love to rob your freedom
What have I done?

Oh what have I done?
What have I done?
There's a hurt in me I don't understand
What have I done?
What have I done?
I broke the sweetest heart of the only one
That's ever loved me

I don't know what I've become
I need to get back to where I'm from
I'm gonna smash every mirror in this empty house
'Cause like you I don't wanna see myself

Oh what have I done?
What have I done?
There's a hurt in me I don't understand
What have I done?…

 
I still endorse my "Iron Chef" suggestion, where we are presented a secret song subject (say, songs about Maria) and we have a day to plate four picks.

I think crime is ok, just keep it more open ended

Round Here, Mrs. Potter's Lullaby, Mr. Jones, and Johnny Appleseed's Lament. Those songs aren't necessarily about Maria, but she is mentioned in all of them, and they are all by the Counting Crows. Adam Durtiz likes himself some Maria. 

 
Love the Iron Chef idea!  Or is it Chopped?  The latter would allow for giving a discordant "basket" of stuff.

Nobody’s putting together a gosh darn Spotify playlist!

Ok fine.

Round 11 - wild cArd

Stay together for the kids - blink 182

So here's your holiday,
hope you enjoy it this time, you gave it all away.
It was mine, so when you're dead and gone,
will you remember this night, twenty years now lost?
I'm not a huge Blink fan but the double drum sound on this song when they had the high schooler play drums along simultaneously with Travis Barker is primo.

Round 13

Cheating

Take Time to Know Her - Percy Sledge

When it look like every thing was gonna turn out all right
And then I came home a little early one night
And there she was kissin on another man
Now I know what mama meant when she took me by the hand 


And said son, Take time to know her
Its not an overnight fling
Take time to know her
Please don't rush into this thing
