Radio Paradise (mobile)

I was born my papa's son
A wandering eye and a smoking gun
Now some of you would live through me
And lock me up and throw away the key
Or just find a place to hide away
And hope that I'll just go away, huh
But I feel alright, I feel alright tonight
I feel alright, I feel alright tonight
And I'll bring you precious contraband
And ancient tales from distant lands
Of conquerors and concubines
And conjurers from darker times
Betrayal and conspiracy
Sacrilege and heresy
But I feel alright, I feel alright tonight
I feel alright, I feel alright tonight
I got everything you want or need
Your darkest fear, your fondest dream
I ask you questions, tell you lies
Criticize and sympathize
Yeah, but be careful what you wish for, friend
Because I've been to hell and now I'm back again
I feel alright, yeah, I feel alright tonight
Yeah, I feel alright, I feel alright tonight
I feel alright, feel alright

"Gloria" is probably the most celebrated example, but there are hundreds: "What I Like About You" (Romantics), "R-O-C-K in the USA" (Mellencamp) are popular examples, both slightly changed to V I IV I. This is, like the "Louie, Louie" progression (listen carefully to "Magical Mystery Tour"), is a time honored chord structure that stretches back to the roots of modern rock. No wonder it sounds familiar, eh? [ Reply ]

amoreena Sep 12, 2011 - 15:59	Mr. Earle following Mr. Hiatt......two of the best hit-you-in-the-gut-and-slap-you-in-the-heart boys around. Thanks, Bill! [ Reply ]
Cynaera Jul 27, 2011 - 16:42	I would LOVE to see Steve Earle on a double-bill with Todd Snider. They're both great storytellers, with a cynical sense of humor. I hadn't heard this song before, but it's far different from "The Revolution Starts Now" and "Copperhead Road." I really like it - in fact, I'm starting to appreciate Steve Earle's body of work a whole lot more lately. Maybe I'm finally realizing that I'm not going to live forever, so I need to be in the moment as much as possible instead of planning for a future that could change in a heartbeat or stop on a dime. Guh. I think too much. Gotta go dance now. [ Reply ]
