- The Jayhawks - Society Pages .... Not sure if I'm crazy or not but I'm always hearing little bits and pieces in their music that brings to mind, The Beatles.
- Pete Yorn - Old Boy .... Had the thought while listening, Whenever my spirit decides it's time to give up and move on to whatever is next, I hope I'm sitting here like I am now, listening to music. This song would be fine to be listening to as I fade away.
- Paul Weller - You Do Something To Me .... Occasionally (rarely) you cross paths with someone who truly moves your soul.
- The Church - Under the Milky Way .... In my mind, the end of the 1980's.
- Robert Palmer - One Last Look .... "Take one last look at the love we're leaving behind." In the last year or two, this song has become a desert island tune for me.
- Dionne Warwick - Walk On By / I Say a Little Prayer .... Don't know how the previous tunes led me here but here I am. Swept up in waves of bittersweet and haunting nostalgia.
- The Bats - Rooftops
- Mothers of Invention - Directly From My Heart to You .... I'm only half a century tardy but I just picked up my first Mothers of Invention album last weekend.
- The Bats - Free All the Monsters .... Returning for more Bats. Infectious sounds.
- Justin Hayward - Forever Autumn .... From 1978's, 'The War of the Worlds' recording narrated by Richard Burton.
- Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds .... Since I played the Justin Hayward tune and referenced the entire recording, I might as well go and listen. Now experiencing flashbacks to the first time I heard this, over forty years ago, also late at night.
- George Harrison - Looking For My Life .... I'm still stuck in the days of the iPod. I may just empty mine out and put this song on it and drive around along rural roads with the volume way up.
From starting out listening to my parents records to staying up late at night listening to the radio to being introduced to album collecting as a teenager to making mix-tapes and into the present, it seems that I've always been searching for and listening to music of widely varied genres. Here's an idea of what I've been hearing along the way ....
