Nik Kershaw - Wounded

I'm at maximum volume.
That's 2KW of peak Bryston power playing through a pair of Magnepan 3.6s plus another 1.5KW from the Paradigm Servo 15.
I don't push my system that hard very often. 100dB is not good for the ears, and I want to listen to RP until Bill and I are very old men.
However, this song begs me to crank it every time.
Wow! Awesome sound system!!!!

The Lovin' Spoonful - Daydream
(Dec 10, 2012 - 14:21) | This played a big role for me back in the day, cruising Main in my 57 Chevy - drove a school bus to earn money for the payment - Main Street being about a mile long and ending at the beginning of red dirt country roads that held erotic promise, more often than not unrealized. Just before Vietnam, in training in Georgia, my bud Jimmy Drown, years before his time with The Id or The Blend, would hold his left handed 12 string while I strummed and sang this song, and while we both laughed our young asses off. God bless John Sebastian and Jimmy Drown.

Shades of Forbert? I looked to the screen to see what Forbert album this came from wondering how I had missed it.

Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water
(Aug 09, 2012 - 15:33) | The emotional, impressionable, beautiful nurse who was infatuated with me because I was a vet, just returned from Vietnam, asked me, wanted me to confirm actually, that the last verse was about a bullet. I said yes, I'm sorry to say, because I was equally infatuated with her.

Agreed

I thought I was the only one who thought of Forbert when I hear this!

Billy Bragg & Wilco - California Stars
(Mar 06, 2012 - 14:30) | My body is naked now & it was born naked. No matter how I dress up or undress I'm naked. The hours of the early morning find me naked & I find the hours & the morning just as naked as they find me... The best & juiciest of humanly truths are our naked truths. Our fittest honesty is our naked honesty... This is what I call being truthfully democratic. - Woodrow (Woody) Guthrie

Richie Havens - Here Comes The Sun

I'm emotional anyway, but this song just injected some hope into a situation that is, at best, dysfunctional. I don't believe in crossed fingers. I believe in positivity. And this song brings it on in tons. I'll sit here and weep, and love the song, and then move on to what needs to be done to make things right. Thank you, Richie Havens and RadioParadise. And, of course, before I can wipe my tears, I get TMGB's "Why Does The Sun Shine?" Life is just weirder than shit, innit? 
I hear you! When it first came out, I lived in beautiful Bavaria but was going through a horrendous breakup. Yep, this song helped me along too.

James McMurtry - Choctaw Bingo
(Nov 12, 2010 - 12:21) | Yes sir. Red dirt, alfalfa fields, hot as blazes barn lofts, Saturday night dances, parking on the back roads, all of it. This song takes me right back there.

Some Say Leland - Found Myself Lost
(Oct 15, 2010 - 12:57) | Does the band's name come from a place called Leland? Mississippi John Hurt has a song with a line "some say Leland." I assumed that's where it came from.

This is the son of Larry McMurtry who wrote The Last Picture Show, Lonesome Dove, etc. A terrific writer who grew up in Texas.

Eddie Vedder - Society

Feels like growing up. Perhaps I am fortunate to have shared Eddies age, era and outlook at more points than I would care to admit. Now he's matured, and found, like many of us, that's while brash noise can communicate Jeremy's haunting world, it's like the color red on a painter's palette. Useful, but not universal.
Beauty, as it turns out, is found not in so much in a blast of color, or frame of the artwork, but in the subtly of substance, context and delivery.
What a great statement.
