Ditto for me HS.  I get chilly just thinking about it.   :P  I have a mad obsession with this song & I don't know why. :-/

Ooh!  Great song!!!  :D


BTW, have you heard Roxy Music's song "More Than This"?  It's also very good, IMO.  10,000 Maniacs remade it in the 90's but it wasn't nearly as good.  :)

Yes it is. No one could ever, IMO, remake it/cover it and give it justice.

I've heard of Television. Is it the same Punk band from the mid-late 70s?! No way :D ! There's gotta be some Jazz or Blues band called Television. I cannot picture THE Steve_H listening to 70s Punk :) :D ;D

Oh yeah!  They's the one.  http://www.clicksmilie.de/sammlung/cool/cool-smiley-027.gif  There was a band called Flesheaters I like quite a bit, too, although I don't know if they were punk or not...

Pretty much anything by James Taylor.  He just has that kind of effect on me.

I'm not sure what it is about his music but it's so soothing and comforting.  He was playing in Albuquerque last year and a co-worker and I were leaving Alb. after a conference.  Can you believe we didn't turn around and go back to see him??  How stupid was that?  We are both kicking ourselves now for not going.  I hope sometime soon I get another opportunity to see him live.

Bummer!  Yes, I am sure that you really regret that now.  I was fortunate enough to see James Taylor in concert back in '95.  It was an excellent show!!  If you get the chance again I would highly recommend seeing him.  :)

IMO, still one of the sexiest songs to date.  :)

Well...Yeah. I gives me goosebumps of the good kind.  ;D

Like....

Some people might get goosebumps from Marvin Gay's "Sexual Healing". Not me though. I don't like that one.

P.O.D. Youth of a nation
especially this part because I can relate to it and would probably do the same

Johnny boy always played the fool, he broke all the rules so you'd think he was cool, he was never really one of the guys no matter how hard he tried with the thought of suicide. It's kinda hard when you aint got no friends he put his life to an end they might remember him then, you crossed the line and theres no turning back...told the world how he felt with the side of a gat.End Quote

Ok. Off topic for a sec.:

Just remember, Alicia, we are here if and when you ever need to communicate, talk, vent, etc., etc....K

Ok. Back on topic:

I'd also like to add P.O.D.'s "Youth Of A Nation". It's original (a rarity these days), good beat and tune, powerful message.

I get goosebumps when I hear it because it's shocking to me to like a song from today's day and age. ;D

Yes, this song is very powerful.  It gets across a message too many adults don't want to really want to hear.  When I hear it, I think about my teens on the robot team (yes, I said "my", those brats bring out a maternal side of me I didn't know I had) and I could cry.  I see so many of them going through difficult times and there's not much I can do about it.

I was listening to the Alice In Chains Unplugged CD last night & "Nutshell" really gives me chicken skin (goosebumps).  :o

I have to put my AIC unplugged CD in the player and give that a listen, it's been to long since I've listened to it.  A lot of great tunes on the Jar o' Flies CD that can raise a bump or two.

If you read the lyrics & think about Layne's dying battle with Heroin it makes it even more sad.  :(

"Nutshell" - Alice In Chains

We chase misprinted lies
We face the path of time
And yet I fight
And yet I fight
This battle all alone
No one to cry to
No place to call home

Oooh...Oooh...
Oooh...Oooh...

My gift of self is raped
My privacy is raked
And yet I find
And yet I find
Repeating in my head
If I can't be my own
I'd feel better dead

Layne had his condo in the U of W district right in a busy part of Seattle.  His body sat for 3 weeks before being discovered.  What does that tell you abour Heroin?  How many people do you know that could lay dead for 3 weeks and not be discovered?  The guy was once the lead singer of a great band too.  Sad :'(

Definitely! There aren't many AIC songs that I don't like, and Don't Follow is one of the best tunes I have ever heard. :)

Yeah, I had heard that he basically was hiding out from the world months before his death.  Like he never would answer the phone or door for people.  Apparantly the big tip off was that his accountants noticed no activity on any of his bank accounts (which was odd cuz he was buying mass amounts of smack on a daily basis) for weeks so they contacted his family.  Which led his mother & step-father of all people to kick his door down & find him dead on the couch.  That is just so tragic to me!  But honestly, I don't think he ever recovered from his girlfriends OD.  It was like he died with her.  One of his bandmates said of Layne "It was the slowest and most painful suicide he had ever seen" (I take it he has seen quite a few?)  ::).  Odd though that the coroner dated his death April 5th 2002.  Eight years to the day of Kurt's death. :o


Sorry I rambled on off topic about this, but I just really love AIC & thought Layne Staley had an awesome talent very different from the other "Seattle" bands.  Unfortunatley he danced with the devil a little too hard & was way beyond helping himself.  Dam Heroin.  Dam Dam Dam.

OK, carry on.......... :)

That's by Captain And Tenille, but America also did a cover of it.

ABBA is a great choice.
