(Mar 16, 2013 - 09:54) | I think of one thing when this song comes on, Iron Eagle.Doug Masters: This is Iron Eagle, he's not being moved, what's the hold-up?
Control tower operator: We are having trouble finding a jeep suitable for your, um, purposes.
Doug Masters: Bullshit, you've got a whole country full of them!
<pauses>
Doug Masters: You just lost a refinery!

Elbow - Neat Little Rows
(Apr 30, 2011 - 21:26) | the lyrics and melody are contemplative but it was the horrible screeching in the background at one point in the song that made me look up the name.

Geoffrey Oryema - The River

agreed. at the start of the song i was all excited for something new with a strong african beat and singing. instead it got really generic sounding. bouncy and fun, but generic.

The Decemberists - Leslie Anne Levine
(Mar 02, 2007 - 14:21) | i used to like their sound but now i find it horribly annoying. it took all my effort to keep the rating from dropping into the sucko-barfo zone.

Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick
(Jan 05, 2007 - 13:49) | The first time I heard the name Jethro Tull was in the movie Armageddon. I thought it was one of those classic rock acts that was popular enough to hear of but not popular enough to actually hear, even on classic rock stations. thanks Bill for putting this in the rotation. Its not a favorite but it expands my horizons.
Oscar: "You know, one thing that really drives me mad is when people think that Jethro Tull is just a member of the band."
Psychologist: "Who's Jethro Tull?"
Oscar: glares at psychologist

Béla Fleck - Moonlight Sonata
(Nov 07, 2006 - 20:45) | all the instruments in this song are interesting except the banjo. The banjo in this song sounds like the musical equivalent of a moose trying to find its way through a bakesale with very narrow isles.

That moment when all the crashing of metal and glass is over and you are actually still alive/intact is a rare moment of clarity and joy at just being alive. This song catches me every time.
I see a dog upon the road
Running hard to catch a cat
My car is pulling to a halt
The truck behind me doesn't know
Everything is in the balance
Of a moment I can't control
And your sympathetic strings
Are like the stirrings in my soul
I could go at anytime
There's nothing safe about this life
I could go at anytime
Wow thanks for the lyrics and the interpretation. That really made joyful feeling of the song hit home.
