    Traffic - Feelin’ Alright

    Don’t get too lost in all I say
    Though at the time I really felt that way
    But that was then and now it’s today

    You might be thinking, “Hey, isn’t that a Joe Cocker song?” or “That’s from a Friskies cat food commercial, right?” And you would be correct on both counts. But Dave Mason wrote this classic and Traffic was the first to perform it.

    Dave Mason - We Just Disagree

    I’m going back to a place that’s far away. How bout you?
    Have you got a place to stay? Why should I care?
    When I’m just trying to get along, We were friends
    But now it’s the end of our love song…

    I don’t know how many of you even know who Dave Mason is. You really should though. I’ve met the man a few times and had the pleasure of watching him play live many times. Dave was a member of Traffic, played with Hendrix, Clapton, Cass Elliot… I could go on. This track is his top 20 hit from 1977.

    U2 - Tryin’ To Throw Your Arms Around The World

    Nothin’ much to say I guess
    Just the same as all the rest
    Been tryin’ to throw your arms around the world
    And a woman needs a man
    Like a fish needs a bicycle

  • March 15, 07:28 PM

    Yes… yes it is. And that thing about nostalgia is true too. ;)

  • March 15, 06:58 PM

    Man, an edit button on your own replies would be nice.

    I always notice the mistake right when I hit reply. Damn.

    Madder Rose - Panic On

    Gazing off into the distant past. Jangly guitars and girl singers. Ahhh.

    What I want
    Is what I hope to find
    But I drift up in the air

  • March 15, 05:57 PM

    That is awesome. Are we related? ;)

  • March 15, 05:56 PM

    Timmy T - One More Try

    This dude and Stevie B are the kind of whiny music my high school boyfriend liked. It made me want to punch him then too. I have anger issues. I know.

    Deon Estus & George Michael - Heaven Help Me

    All of you ladies (and gentlemen) who were big on Wham! should remember this one. Deon was the bass player for George and Andrew.

    I was a Duranie but my best friend at the time was a huge Wham! fan. We saw them twice. No regrets, they put on a good show. :)

    Ambrosia - That’s How Much I Feel

    I like how the guy works this in there toward the end… oh snap.

    How’s your life been goin’ on?
    I got a wife now, years we’ve been going strong
    There’s just something that I got to say
    Sometimes when we make love
    I still see your face

    Ides of March - Vehicle

    Someone has to play it. Has anyone played this yet? Oh well, here goes.

    Hey, well I’m the friendly stranger
    In the black sedan
    Oh won’t you hop inside my car?
    I got pictures, got candy, I am a lovable man
    I’d like to take you to the nearest star

    Cameo - She’s Strange

    When you think of Cameo, you probably think of “Candy,” “Word Up” and red codpieces. (Oh wait, is that just me?) Anyway, this band has so many more tunes that are equally as funky. This being one of said tunes.

    “She’s my twilight zone, my Al Capone”

    Anyone else having trouble with playing the songs I post?

    Otis Redding - (Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay

    Whistling and sitting by the water. Both things I have alluded to and done today.

  • March 15, 03:08 PM

    Write one leaf about whistling.

    (via writeoneleaf)

    It comes in handy when you need someone. You just put your lips together and blow.
