Day 30: A song with a great opening line.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here together to get through this thing called 'life.'"

One of the greatest openings, and a spoken one. Take us to church, Prince! A deeply philosophical argument against surrender, up there with Camus rejection of suicide. And the best mashup of dance funk and synth pop. Joy in a music track

Also Wendy & Lisa!

"Let's Go Crazy," Prince and The Revolution (+2)

Day 29 - song that’s a remix


It’s a matter of taste and endurance if you like the 14 minute version better or the original, but if you are here for it, then go with the remix. Almost posted my favorite mash up, but I’m a rule follower (stop laughing people)

+1= 36


Day 30 - song with a great opening line

“Loving you, isn’t the right thing to do”

Has any line ever fully captured the feel of a great album. The story behind Rumors is incredible, one of the best is Lindsey Buckingham got this song on the Album but they didn’t put Stevie’s Silver Springs on too.

+2 = 38


 
Day 30: A song with a great opening line.

On and off over the years I've struggled with my mental health. Above all else, it's been a bad case of impostor syndrome, never thinking I'm good enough, for work, for life, for love. It's infected my relationships, and it's infected my heart.
Any moment now, they'll figure me out, they'll laugh at me, they'll see through my fraud, they'll leave me behind to rot in the dust. No matter how good things are, it'll all come crumbling down any moment now.

At times like these I escape into literature, I have amassed a library of some one thousand books.
I escape into music. Into art. It helps take my mind off things, until the pills kick in.

I need a time machine, Mr Wells
I'm on top of the world,
but it should've been someone else

The Roches - The Death of Suzzy Roche +2

I work at the laundromat
The one that Suzzy Roche does hers at
I hate her guts, I hate her guts
She thinks I want her autograph.

The stories behind Rumors are almost as good as the album. I love Buckingham, as a musician and a songwriter, he is high on my list. But holy fuck was he a vindictive asshole at this point.

Fuck, that opening line and that baseline!
 
Link me pls. I love the Rumors lore. It’s a gift that keeps on giving.
If you are a reader, there's a book named "Making Rumours: The Inside Story of the Classic Fleetwood Mac Album", written by a couple folks involved in the process. I read it about a decade ago - a very interesting and enjoyable read.
