darlene Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 So many fantastic ones! I love that line from "Nowhere To Hide" and the music just takes me right to where he is at that moment! I always feel like an observer "right on the scene" when I hear that song. The music is *hauntingly beautiful.* Anyone who can write like that needs to be writing now. --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew Bundles Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I suppose if one conquers WendyWorld, there may be a lifetime gift/reminder involved...The old gift that keeps on giving?...You wont be leaving with a couple of parting gifts and the home version of WW...

Rasburied Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 For me it's the last verse in the song "Starting Over" and it has a very personal meaning to me. A girl in High School who I had a huge crush on (she had one on me too) that I was very extremly shy to talk to only to have myself regretting it very much to this day. If I had a chance to make one wish and I know it would come true I'd start all over with her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mannoman Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Eric has written so many great songs it's hard to choose just one. Below is but one of many. I believe this entire song is so well written and performed it is near the top of a wonderful list. "Oh, the sun beats down On the L.A. scene But you can't feel the cold When the grass looks so green" from: Desperate Fools Others on my fave list: Boats Against The Current Starting Over Let's Pretend Love Is All That Matters I Was Born To Love You To name but a few.

Captain Harlock Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 One of my favorites, probably my favorite song that Eric's written for that matter, is from the second verse of If You Change Your Mind. I went through a bad break up (it was bad for me, I don't think she cared as much though) and I just kept listening to it over and over; Well I tried so hard to be the one that you were dreaming of But I guess it wasn't quite enough to make you fall in love So walk away leave me by myself And let me crawl back into my shell And be the me that I knew so well} Before I met you...

BEATNUT Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 But if you change your mind Won't you take some time And let me know that you, still want me too Cause i'll wait night and day to hear you say that you have changed your mind, won't you change your mind If you should change your mind oh yeah This song can make you cry..

susana Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 *** favorite phrase, hands down: "Sippin' on a scotch and soda A shadow in a corner booth So philosophic and drunk On grown up truth" *** favorite one liner: "Dreams are forever and some things you never forget" *** Special kudos to "Love Is All That Matters". Marvin Hamlisch's "Simplicity sells" quote about the beauty of a simple, perfectly written song (yeah, I know he was talking in monetary terms, too) never seemed more appropriate than when I think about that song *** A slightly revised version of the bridge in "Starting Over" that Eric sang at one of his solo shows I saw back in the '70's: "I remember all the good times and the bad times spent together BUT remember all the old times when the new times look much better." Amazing how changing one word can change the entire meaning. Depending on my mood, I'll sing it that way on those days when the song is going through my head. Heck, that entire song is wonderful. *** And what would a post from me on the topic of favorites be without a mention of "ICR"? All of "ICR" - the total package. (Gee, that's a shocking comment coming from me...not!) Not sure that one will ever be topped in my book by anyone. Nunh huh. No how, no way.

Reid C. Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Susana - Interesting observation on the "why' or "but" in "Starting Over". It certainly does put a whole different twist on that lines meaning! Full agreement on ICR, also. My favorite and, once you have lived it, oh so true.Reid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
