But it's getting darker, the lights on the rides go on and suddenly a sparkle comes back on in your mind. Wander around, smell fried food, and wonder how the kids are doing with their friends. Pure summertime music. Wow. I'm there with you dude. How about another coo.l beer ? |

| calypsus_1 | Posted: Jul 09, 2010 - 20:22 "Mr Rock & Roll"? " L.A."? |
| jimbaca (Albuquerque) | Posted: May 07, 2010 - 06:28 Amy is one of my current favorites. This entire CD is really great. Her second CD is also very good. |
| fredriley (Nottingham, UK) | Posted: May 07, 2010 - 06:26 Amy MacDonald is very much flavour of the year in Scotland the now, with Press reviews and airplay a-plenty. She's in the same vein as KT Tunstall and, IMO, nearly (but not quite, yet) as good. Nice voice, snappy songs. 8 from the Albaphile Nottingham jury. |

| Businessgypsy (Deepest, Darkest Florida) | Posted: Feb 01, 2010 - 10:51 Bill, how about a set from beautiful women singing wretched dreck? This would be a good start. Wow, that was fast! While I was typing this Noah's Dove from 10,000 Maniacs spun up! |

| taylord | Posted: May 17, 2009 - 14:52 Voice is much bigger than her sweet face! |
| jjbix (san diego) | Posted: Apr 23, 2009 - 09:17 Amy, you sure are purty but this song is one of the most repetitive I have heard in a while . . . . |
| Pyro | Posted: Apr 23, 2009 - 09:16 I don't see why people think this is so bad. I find it pleasant enough.... |
| bobcat1963 (the netherlands) | Posted: Apr 16, 2009 - 00:08 the first 30 seconds, well, you expect something, but after that it becomes a very boring song IMHO if this is the life it's a wasted experience.... |
| avidlistener (Atlanta, GA) | Posted: Apr 01, 2009 - 10:45 sounds a lot like Dar Williams |
| mandolin (...drifting...) | Posted: Mar 20, 2009 - 08:30 ...oh, this and swati go together quite nicely... |
| notremotely | Posted: Jan 20, 2009 - 17:32 dsolomon wrote: Is it just me or does this sound like Big in Japan by Alphaville? Absolutely! The chorus is a dead ringer for it. When my ear first caught this song, I was hoping against hope it was a folksy cover of it, just for the sheer amusement factor. Sadly, I was disappointed. This one doesn't do it for me. (But, oddly, "Big in Japan" does..?) |
| fluffybum | Posted: Jan 20, 2009 - 17:31 so bad. |
| vandal (arriving somewhere, but not here. . .) | Posted: Jan 20, 2009 - 17:31 OK, OK, I give! Uncle!! Take my $$$ and my dog. Kill me already!!!  |
| akmegan | Posted: Jan 20, 2009 - 17:30 LOVE AMY MacDONALD! (she looks exactly like one of my friends! ..creepy!) |

Where you gonna hide? Where you gonna go to get away from it tonight?"  |

| TeleFrank (Allgäu, Germany) | Posted: Dec 15, 2008 - 12:08 Nice artist, but really annoying song with WORST guitar-lick ever |
| Bocephus (Boulder, CO) | Posted: Dec 10, 2008 - 15:18 nice rhythm and vocal delivery...and I see from the cover she's easy on the eyes which doesn't hurt.  |
| Toke (Bournemouth UK) | Posted: Dec 01, 2008 - 12:53 Well she didn't sleep here, so WHERE was she, at your place, come-on come clean ??? |

There's a radio station that plays music like this in PR? Would love to know which one it is. The bloody regaetton and bachatas are just unbearable! |

| inindian (Sea of joy) | Posted: Nov 23, 2008 - 21:55 I hear "where ya gonna slip tonight" ! |

| gjeeg (Syracuse, New York) | Posted: Nov 16, 2008 - 10:13 Poor Amy, she should've edited her lyrics. You can't even sing this tune. Too many words. |
| Bridieboo (Halifax, NS) | Posted: Nov 16, 2008 - 09:59 I saw her on the Graham Norton Show a couple of months ago - she's got a great voice. |
| trempel (Abbostsford, BC, Canada) | Posted: Nov 09, 2008 - 18:29 This song is catchy, and I actually kinda like it, but it hovers on teh edge of falling into mainstream pop. |
| bschena (SillyValley, CA) | Posted: Nov 03, 2008 - 19:50 New to me. I like. |
| prstx (San Juan) | Posted: Nov 03, 2008 - 19:48 Hello Denmark! I logged on to say the same thing! Its marketed crazy here in Puerto Rico. |
| MM13 (High in the lo country) | Posted: Oct 27, 2008 - 02:53 The first 100 times I heard this song on the radio, I thought she was singing "where you gonna stick the knife". Had me wondering why it hadn't been banned.... |
| mirland (Denmark) | Posted: Oct 27, 2008 - 02:51 This is being marketed rather aggressively over here (Denmark). I just can't stand it! |
| calypsus_1 | Posted: Oct 25, 2008 - 13:43 "american-way-women" to make songs....in series.... ** 4 / 5 ** |
| laurabcn | Posted: Oct 23, 2008 - 09:03 Hi! I come from Barcelona, amazing radio!!!!the best i've ever heard!thank you!! |
| auburntigerrich (Edge of the 'Verse) | Posted: Oct 23, 2008 - 08:49 Sadly, Amy was being played in Starbucks the other day... I hope she doesn't end up falling into the mainstream pit that KT Tunstall did. Nifty tune. |

| vit | Posted: Oct 13, 2008 - 07:12 Urgh, Amy MacDonald on here and at the same time Kate Rusby on the LRC. It's like I didn't even switch stations. |
| Kittee (NC- Dreaming of the Mountains) | Posted: Oct 13, 2008 - 07:11 8  10. More I hear it, the more I love it. The harmony is great. |
