LostControl Posted August 11, 2002 Share Posted August 11, 2002 Hey SteveI broke up with my fiance and spent most of the time singing "Hurts Too Much". It should be on the list somewhere of breakup songs. Can you tell I REALLY want people to like "Hurts Too Much"? As for other songs that for some unexplained reason have not made it to the charts, I have to agree with you - almost of them should have been there. There are only a couple of songs I never listen too - the rest are all classics!Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostControl Posted August 11, 2002 Share Posted August 11, 2002 Hey Steve (again!)As for songs to play at your wedding, how about "Tonight You're Mine"? That would have caused a FEW red faces at our wedding!Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steveh Posted August 11, 2002 Author Share Posted August 11, 2002 Hey Michelle! Thanks for adding "Hurts Too Much" and "Tonight You're Mine". Believe it or not, I first heard the "Tonight You're Mine" album only within the past year ( am I kicked out of EricCarmen.com for saying that?). So I've only listened to those songs (and the "Change of Heart" songs) about 30 times as opposed to EC's other songs which I've listened to hundreds or thousands of times. Eric sounds angry in "HTM", which is appropriate for the lyrics but it's an unsettling song. I know it is comforting to know someone else has gone through something you've gone through and had the same feelings, but it's the kind of song I just don't want to keep listening to. I feel the same way about "All By Myself" and "Never Gonna Fall In Love Again" - both masterpieces but SO SAD! I think that Eric's best love songs (see the rankings) are INTOXICATING, and much safer than drugs!P.S.- Sorry about your breakup.Steveh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostControl Posted August 11, 2002 Share Posted August 11, 2002 Hey SteveDon't be sorry about the breakup, I'm certainly not! The guy was a creep, hence the reason I probably like HTM so much, I was more mad than sad at the time. BTW, I married a great guy 11 years ago, and we just had a baby boy, so it all worked out for the best.No, you don't get kicked out for only having just recently listened to TYM. Hey, I haven't even heard the latest album yet (YIKES). It's REALLY hard to get a copy of it here! I'm am trying my hardest to locate one, howver.Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steveh Posted August 12, 2002 Author Share Posted August 12, 2002 Hey Michelle!Try ebay or half.com for Winter Dreams (also called I Was Born To Love You). You won't be disappointed! Steveh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostControl Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 (Steve, We won't mention this to Eric, but I have it reserved at the Public Library, and I should be getting it any day now. Like I said, it's a VERY hard album to get ahold of, and there is only one copy in our whole library system here. Of course, I would NEVER burn a copy of the CD to my computer) Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hungryeyes Posted August 28, 2002 Share Posted August 28, 2002 I ranked these songs last week sometime and finally have a chance to post. Steveh, I used your list and from that I picked my top 10. As I type this now I want to change my rankings, but I won't. I guess that is how I felt at that time I sat down and ranked them. And, you are right, this is something fun to do while we wait for the big tour announcement.Ballads1. The Way We Used To Be 2. I Was Born To Love You3. She Remembered4. I Can Remember 5.

marvin Posted August 31, 2002 Share Posted August 31, 2002 Very good list Gina. Mine would be pretty similar except I wouldn't include "I Was Born to Love You", "She Remembered" and "You Took Me All the Way."Regards,Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darlene Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 My all time favorite:She Remembered -- it's just so gorgeous.Others (too difficult to do it in any order, because I love them all, but some at the "top" of my list are:I Wanna Be With YouIf You Change Your MindI Saw The LightI Can RememberI Can Hardly Believe You're MineTonightEcstasyLiving Without Your LoveSleep With MeMy GirlLove Is All That MattersBorn To Love YouI Wanna Take Forever TonightI'm Through With LoveNowhere To HideBoats Against The CurrentWild Wild Heart (all of these should be way up on the list! That's why they're not in the order I love them! I LOVE THEM ALLLLLLL!)Then Add to that EVERY OTHER ONE Raspberries and Eric have done and you know why I can never choose just one or rank them. THANKS A MILLION ERIC AND BERRIES! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steveh Posted September 10, 2002 Author Share Posted September 10, 2002 Darlene, Nice list! I like your #1 choice - that just happens to be the song I played for my sister who recently was reunited with a guy she dated in high school 30 years ago. She had only vaguely known about Eric's songs, but she loves "She Remembered". I never get tired of listening to it.Steveh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 Steveh -- going back to your post on page one -- songs that Eric sounds like Rod Stewart -- how about Take it or Leave It.I'll add one for you: song where Eric reminds me of Billy Joel -- It Hurt's Too Much. Released right around that Joel was hot as hell with the Stranger and 42nd Street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew C. Clark Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 It was actually Billy Joel's "Glass Houses" because he got mad at Rolling Stone Magazine critics back in 1980 & he probably said "Get the @#$% out or I will deck you" or something. Did anybody read what Billy said in 1980? Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steveh Posted September 11, 2002 Author Share Posted September 11, 2002 Hey Billy, Good point about Take It Or Leave It ñ I must have forgotten what that song sounded like because I haven't heard it in over 10 years ñ because I really don't like it! I agree with your observation about Eric sounding like Billy Joel. Steveh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
