Fun music facts about Moi
My day was not particularly
interesting or noteworthy in any way so I just totally ripped this off
from Lady_Songbird. Read her post too while you’re at it.
Here’s my answers.- What is “your song”?
Tie between “Could Be” from West Side Story and “Alive in the World” by Jackson Browne (who is my secret boyfriend, you know.)
- What song always improves your mood?
Hmm…”All I Need is a Miracle” by Mike and the Mechanics and
“Footloose” by Kenny Loggins and “High on You” by Survivor (yes, cheesy
80′s music in general)- What song makes you feel all romantic?
“Crash” by Dave Matthews (if you mean romantic in the lets-get-it-on
kind of way) “Change in My Life” by Rockapella (in a romantic-sappy
way) and “Sky Blue and Black” by Jackson Browne (in a romantic-sad way,
and did I mention that Jackson Browne is my secret boyfriend?)- What song gets you ready for a good time (i.e. partying with friends; save the Barry White for the previous question)?
For hanging out with the girls, “Dreams” by the Cranberries, for
partying in general “Play that Funky Music White Boy” by Wild Cherry
and “Somebody’s Baby” by Jackson Browne (who is, ironically enough, my
secret boyfriend.)- What song makes you feel introspective and slightly melancholy?
Oooh…so many….but here’s my short list: “Strawberry Wine” by
Deanna Carter, “Just When I Needed You Most” by Randy Van Wormer,
“Fooled Around and Fell in Love” (can’t remember the artist so if you
do, please let me know!), “Almost Doesn’t Count” by Brandy, “In the
Shape of a Heart” by Jackson Browne, and “Late for the Sky” also, by
Jackson Browne (I love him, you know, and as soon as the restraining
order is dropped, he’ll be my secret boyfriend.)By
the way…totally kidding about the restraining order. So, now
tell me your songs. By the way…you should get “Late for the
Sky,” it is by far his best (althougth all of his stuff is good.)
What I love about JB is that his lyrics are some of the best poetry
I’ve ever heard. Plus he’s a great
singer/guitarist/pianist/songwriter. And he’s DEAD SEXY in that
hippy-wounded-poet sort of way. No, yesterday’s post was not
about Jackson Browne. Was I going somewhere with this?
Probably not. Signing off now before I blabber about nothing some
more.

I love Mike and the Mechanics…I forgot about that song until you brought it up! I forgot how much I loved them as a little girl!!!
Man, if Jim Morrison weren’t dead and he wouldn’t be old now, he’d totally be MY secret boyfriend.
Honey, Jim Morrison would STILL be my boyfriend and he’d be sexy at any age.
I got to see Jackson Browne for the “Running On Empty” tour. Yeah, the man is dead sexy and I love his music!! In-farkin-credible. Well, when you two finally get back together, call me so I can come see the concert. And I’ll leave discreetly out the back door. And I’ve been a fan of his music since Doctor, My Eyes. Wow.
RYC–if you seriously want to get into some good John Denver, stay away from the greatest hits. There’s more to JD than Annie’s Song and Rocky Mountain High. May we suggest Farewell Andromeda, Autograph, and Higher Ground. If you like songs about trains, his final album was All Aboard, for which he won a Grammy posthumously. But…if you want a really good live album that has a combination of great hits that everyone loves and great songs that didn’t get nearly enough airplay, may I suggest also The Wildlife Concert and The Harbor Lights concert. Both of them EXCELLENT. The man came alive in front of an audience.
Yeah what Red said!
Thanks for the reminder about JB, I loved him back in the mid 80s. He was one of those who was actually musical, compared to my pretty boys in D2 anyway. <G> They did actually become musical later though, IMO.
i love strawberry wine! that’s a great song. deana carter’s best.
That picture is just one of may random daguerrotypes I have downloaded. I am very intrigued by them. I’m afraid I don’t recognize a single song on your post, but then my musical knowledge is very sparse post-nineteenth century!!
