I made a rather good mix, if I do say so myself, on Monday evening:
1. Southern Cross - Crosby, Stills, and Nash (To put the image in my head of being elsewhere...in this case, a sailboat in the South Pacific.)
2. You Don't Know Me - Michael Buble (A classic standard, done especially well by Ray Charles, among many others. Not my typical style, but if it isn't already, it should be the anthem for shy people who suffer from unrequited love. It hits the nail on the head.)
3. Lilac Wine - Jeff Buckley (Wow. Every song on Grace is a classic.)
4. Isn't it a Pity - George Harrison (And this guy was the third songwriter of the Beatles. Talk about an embarrassment of riches.)
5. The Only Living Boy in New York - Simon & Garfunkel (Just for the beginning chords, and then Art coming in from the background.)
6. Crying - Roy Orbison (No one has been able to come anywhere close to his version.)
7. Fade Into You - Mazzy Star
8. Landslide - Fleetwood Mac
9. A Letter to Elise - The Cure (See my previous post.)
10. Too Much Heaven - Bee Gees
11. Go Walking Down There - Chris Isaak
12. That Voice Again - Peter Gabriel (The drummer is sick good.)
13. Northern Sky - Nick Drake
14. Purple Rain - Prince & The Revolution (The movie might have sucked, but it's 8 minutes of Prince going nuts on the guitar. Sends chills up and down my spine.)
15. A Pirate Looks at Forty - Jimmy Buffett (This lyric: My occupational hazard being my occupation's just not around I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown.)
16. Pocahontas - Neil Young (From his Unplugged concert. Perfect mix of acoustic guitar and harmonica.)
17. Creep - Radiohead (I love it when guitar sounds angry.)
As you can see, I was in a fantastic mood that day.
