JuliaD Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Have you ever just been in *whatever* kind of mood when a certain song just makes you wanna hear it over and over and over again? I know EC's music does that to us all the time, but for me today, it's been "Everything" by Alanis Morisette. Driving around today (I had a crafts event), and now home while surfing the net, I am just playing the hell out of it, what a great song.

darlene Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 When I first heard "After You," I was mesmerized, and just wanted to keep listening and listening. And I did..."It's Cold Outside" by The Choir does that to me too. "I Wanna Be With You" was the first Berries song that "got to me" that way. I kept feeding quarters into the jukebox all night long, playing it, even though people were telling me to stop! --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marvin Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Wim that's a wondeful selection of songs and albums - if I do say so myself. Where's Venice? Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimvriezen Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 I know what you mean Marvin, but I just figured out my favorite period in modern rock music (1967-1974). I could mention easily over 2000 songs I love, from Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple to Joss Stone, Nikka Costa, Venice, Ezio and so on. I've had times that I was into Reggae, into Symforock (Kansas, Styx, Yes), into Soul (Sam & Dave, Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye, Temptations, Arthur Conley). The last soul legend I knew personally, but he sadly passed away in November 2003. We need to talk in July, Marv, because I feel you're a musicnerd like I am.

marvin Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Love your choices in music Wim - especially the Soul choices. I would prefer to be called a "musicphile", but "music nerd" will do. I take that as a compliment.Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimvriezen Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 All my personal friends in Holland are music nerds, but I also have a normal job and a normal family, and the most important thing for me is: I have a fantastic wife, who's giving me all the freedom to enjoy my love to music. So she said, when I talked about a possibility to go to Chicago, last January: You should go, follow your heart! And afterwards she was really excited when I told her everything bout my trip to the USA to see my one and only favorite popgroup and about my stories about the nice fans I met and my meeting with the band too. And the best thing in this case is she will be joining my next trip in July to NYC. So I can asure you all that the best time of my life is yet to come and I can't hardly believe that my dreams all come true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny S. Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 "The Heart of the Matter" by Don Henley does it for me.When I was a member of Tequila Sunrise with cousin Paul, and more than once there was a river of tears.(very hard to hide under the lights).yeah i keep torturing myself with that one.........

marvin Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Wonderful song it is. As Don Henley says about that song, it took him 5 minutes to write, and 40 years to live.Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Ya..I think it's as good as any Eagles song and that's saying a lot.Thought his performance of the song on Saturday Night Live a couple years ago was moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trindy Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 I'm with Kazumi. Ever since someone mailed me the MP3 of "Cindy," I can't get it out of my head. It's such a beautiful piece of work--an almost anthemlike song of memory and loss.One thing bugs me though--it sounds as if Eric either muffed the first line of it or it doesn't make much sense. I can't wrap my brain around its starting with "When we first met." It sounds like he's talking about the loss immediately after the meeting. I can't help but wonder if the real first words were supposed to be "When you first left..." and he just botched 'em.Another question for "Ask Eric"?

Billy K. Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 wim, from what I understand, the fans in the Netherlands are really passionate about their music...One of my friends was over in Amsterdam, for some music festivals, and was totally amazed with the Dutch fans really getting into the music In fact, at the James Brown show, he witnessed a debate between two fans on which was the best backing band lineup for J.B....and these guys were very studious, and talking like they were talking aboutBrahms or Mozart.....Although Britain, Germany, and Japan are important markets for American music, the Netherlands, as well as Australia, are ones that is really passionate about music, but are often overlooked...

Kirk Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 "Heart Of The Matter" has a place in my heart, also. Our company had merged with another, a lot of heads rolled, and the CEO brought management into a meeting to try and mend some fences. As he was standing before us he played "Heart Of The Matter" to open the meeting. Really set the tone for what was to follow. Kirk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
