this last week i've been listening to a lot of my "other" cds. i like jazz a lot and am trying to find new artists that appeal to me.
however there is always harry connick jr.

one of my favourites, red light blue light (someone's there), a good few years old, cos he's VERY young in this video :-)

and this one, she, cos i love the bassline!! ;-)

roots and culture

"roots and culture", mikey dread w/ub40, 1983

i love this song, with and without the ub's attached.....

RIP mikey dread....

i'll stick by you

"stick by me", 23/2/08 uganda, ub40

a long way from here....

It's a long long way from here
Don't you worry yourself my dear
It's a long long way from here

Drought and famine in TV land
Read the sunday papers credit card ina your hand
Sing your song of freedom just to ease your troubled mind
And save your guilty pennies for the ones you leave behind

The burden that you carry from the cradle to the grave
Is like a badge of honour that you wear upon your sleeve
You make your contribution and you shed a little tear
And stage your celebration just to show how much you care

You obscure your stolen power with hypocrisy and lies
Your talk of understanding is a wafer thin disguise
You glorify my image but deny me flesh and blood
You radiate with goodness when you here me beg for food

Those rivers of blood will flow again
Someone changed the lyrics but the song remains the same
You can build a wall of protocol to keep the wolves at bay
But history dictates that someone has to pay

It's a long long way from here
Don't you worry yourself my dear
It's a long long way from here


It's A Long Long Way From Here - UB40 1993

love this

wore out a cd-r copy i had of keith urban's be here, so i bought the actual cd.
love "days go by" from that cd!!
one of my most favourite songs....
and the video treatment is really cool, all that going backwards.
and that little breath he does, it's cool inna odd sorta way :-)





"days go by", 2004, keith urban

another of my very most favourite keith songs, from his last studio cd,!! :-)



"i told you so", 2007, keith urban

love the drum beat and guitar in the middle of this song as well!!

** and here's to being able to afford to see him and kenny chesney this summer ;-) **

waiting on my game

love this song.

and trace ain't bad for one of my favourite waiters ;-)

"i got my game on", 2007, trace adkins

for the first

i don't know that much about rodney atkins, he had a song "if you're going through hell" that i really liked. it's a sing along drive fast and play it loud kinda song.

but this morning on the countdown i heard "cleaning this gun", which just made me laugh out loud. i have this vision of hubby surrounded by my four sons when it's babygirl's turn to go out on a date ;-)
