Day 14: A song you're surprised you love

My ex-husband would play this for the kids on road trips. I generally hate everything associated with that man but I can't help but love this song. Because I love Johnny Cash and because of remembering my kids laughter when they listened to the song...

Written by Shel Silverstein of Where the Sidewalk Ends fame. Great song, and I love that you can see beyond its history for you.

One of the best songs ever to sing at karaoke if people know it! Especially if you can get the rest of the people to join in for the "HOW DO YOU DO!?" :love: :love:
 
Day 15: A song that is in your head right now

One of the many bands who should have been so much bigger than they were. Their 1988 major label release, Rough Night In Jericho, was just great, a stunning portrait of the "Athens Sound" of Georgia in the late 1980s and early 90s. The next album....missed. All across the board. Too bad, because the first album was so good.


"And so it comes to an end
And everything that you thought turns out to be
Feathers borne on the wind
Bearing witness that gravity will win..."

And the band name is way too descriptive of my attempts at sleep, so it all in my head right now. Gravity will win.

"Bearing Witness," Dreams So Real.


(Leave me just my memory)
 
Day 16: A song that your sibling loves

Blacknuss is a music collective that's been active since the 70's. It's the house-band of the legendary jazz-club Fasching in Stockholm, and as members have come and gone their music has been constantly evolving too. From jazz and funk in the beginning, to R&B, soul, hip hop, they've been at the forefront of black music through the decades.

My brother's loved them ever since he discovered them in the late 90s, and we've caught them live.... too many times to count. I love seeing him at that club. He's a little ball of happiness whenever we go 🥰

Blacknuss - Dinah (R&B, 1996)

 
Day 16: A song that your sibling loves
I don't see my older brother that often, so I'm not entirely sure what he likes these days. But I do know that he really liked R.E.M. back in the day. I'm not great at memorizing lyrics, but I know this song because of him.
"It's the End of the World As We Know It"- R.E.M.
 
Day 16: A song that your sibling loved to listen to

My sisters and I live a few hrs away but we are very close. I attribute not only my love of punk rock from their recommendations but just rock music as well. Early daze listening to the animals, the doors and the kinks.

I remember my sister playing this and me going “whoaaaa!” I was 10 or 11. The whole album: Let It Bleed.

Yeah, Gimme Shelter or Can’t Always Get What You Want, is the one song people of when they think of, but I always liked Monkey Man:
 
Day 15: A song that is in your head right now

So while searching for Day 14 songs, I stumbled across this gem which was briefly in my rotation back when I DJed. I think I had blocked it out and now I know why. It's been in my brain ever since, particularly the Tarzan yell part.

Apologies in advance.


Baltimora - Tarzan Boy
