As of August 2012, looking at the little ratings bar graph, the mode is clearly 8, and at a glance it doesn't look like there are enough ratings below 7 to yank the mean down to 6.8. Geeks wanna know: can we get a website update that lets us click through to the raw data? (I gave it a 9, primarily for the aching yearning in his vocals and the melancholy of the cello.) Hover over columns for data: 1: 43; 2: 25; 3: 59; 4: 33; 5: 46; 6: 76; 7: 221; 8: 240; 9: 135; 10: 64 —> Mean = 6.8047 —> Mode = 8 —> Median = 7 The mode may be 8, but the low numbers do a good job of dragging the mean down. On a different note, I like this song. [ Reply ]

Keep her at it, and even if it doesn't boom into a career in music, at least her loved ones will get to enjoy sharing in her passion for music. And she has good taste in songs to cover as well.

The song was recorded at IBC Studios, London in March, 1967 and released as a single in mid July, 1967 in the U.S. Wikipedia One of the most famous Gibb compositions, "To Love Somebody" was covered by hundreds of artists, most notably: Nina Simone (1969 single and album To Love Somebody ) Janis Joplin (on the 1969 album I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama! ) P.

One of the more disturbing contemporary conceits, imagining that you are capable of an understanding that eludes others based on favoring a brand of car, recording artist or melatonin profile. "It's a (insert divisive term) thing, you wouldn't understand." It's entirely possible to have great personal emotional experience, be aware of the background and influences of an artist, comprehend the point of the lyric and still not appreciate that artist (or anything else). Damien Rice was lucky enough to have an uncle influential in the recording business and worked hard to take advantage of his good fortune. Prolific and interesting, just not the sweetest fruit on the tree to my ears. [ Reply ]

I feel that way about TGD (The Grateful'o Dead) ok.. I apologize I don't do that for "windoze" and I don't mean to insult your demigods ... but Radio Paradise is one of the best places to hear just about anything that isn't country or western... and even some that come quite close.. what many need to remember when they hear these songs that they dislike.. is that somewhere, someone is having their little moment of paradise in the day.. and for me.. i hear this song starting and I start to feel a little calming mellow spot in the center of my chest ... and I then make the point of enjoying the moment because someday I'll have wished I could ... Well said. This is why i listen to RP. Nuggets for me. It doesn't matter to me how many people like it or what the rating is. [ Reply ]
