Ok, I am really into music and songs. I know others here at TVCH are the same way. However, we have no thread to discuss our favorite songs, videos, artists, etc. Actually, I haven't found any forums or threads anywhere on the internet that talks about music and where people share their views, their interpretations, and their preferences.
I am always interested to see what people's tastes in music and songs are and why.

Have you seen a music video recently that you like?

Want to discuss the possible underlying meaning of a song?

What song is stuck in your head?

Is there a new artists out there you think others should know about?

Who's 15 minutes of music biz fame is up?

Do you play an instrument?

Are you in a band?

Are you a songwriter?

Do you want to share lyrics you have written or lyrics you love that you want to share?

I'm glad that you started this thread too. I've looked around TVCH somewhat and never seemed to see one totally devoted to music.

I'll throw out this question:

What CD is currently in your CD player?

The CD in my portable player right now is the Soundtrack from the show "Rescue Me." Bought it last Saturday and really like it.

In my car is Tim McGraw Set This Circus Down.
My two favorite Songs on there are Telluride and Forget about us.

Right now my internet radio is playing Tim McGraw's version of Tiny Dancer. You can hear my playlist at My playlist

The song that has been stuck in my head forever is Rehab by Amy Winehouse. I can't get it out of there! We tend to sing it as an answer to a question around here now. Like if my husband asks if any of us want to go to the store, we'll sing "no, no, no"! LOL

On it are:
Favorite Mistake - Cheryl Crow
Before he Cheats - Carrie Underwood
Never Again - Kelly Clarkson
Criminal - Fiona Apple
Sin Wagon - Dixie Chicks
LaLa - Ashley Simpson

It's a running list.

I like "Rehab" too. It sounds very fresh, yet has that throwback, stylized vibe to it. On one station here they play some remix of it done with a little bit of a rap added to it. I like that version too. I keep meaning to check out iTunes to see if it's on there. And how topical is that song right now with the state of some of these actors/entertainers?

the song running through my head is "My List" by Rascal Flatts. Greekbread made me a mix CD of all of their greatest hits and i've been playing it over and over in the car.

...runs to check her stereo...

Currently in my CD player:

DJ Tiesto Elements of Life (his most recent)
Van Morrison Moondance
Misfits Famous Monsters
Bran Van 3000 Glee
and a mix-tape called "From Highschool and Beyond" - all those poignant songs from when I was 15 - 18.

Great thread, BTW, Escapee. The best concert I ever saw was Dave Matthews at the Gorge in Washington. Hearing him sing "Tonight, Lets be Lovers" as the sun went down in a gorgeous orange sunset... breathtaking. Ben Harper and his row of guitars the length of the stage was a close second.

The most important show I ever saw was just in February when Van Morrison came to town. I almost cried just to be in the same building as he was. He didn't say a word to the crowd except to introduce his band about halfway through, but it was still worth every penny of the $300 I shelled out for two tix, just to cross that off my lifelist. I've wanted to see him for a very, very long time.

I've really grown to appreciate Van Morrison's music more through the years. Love "Into the Mystic!" One of the band's my nephew plays with does a cover of that frequently.

Oh my goodness ... I know this is silly but my son has been watching Drake & Josh, Really Big Shrimp. And there's this song that Drake sings called "Makes Me Happy". I've totally got it stuck in my head!! :o))

I love Van the man. St. Dominic's preview another great album.

Right now I am listening to Brian Ferry's new CD, Dylanesque. It is truly fantastic.

Oh, Kc, I've had such a 'dirty old man' crush on him since I was about twelve, LOL. "Days Like This" stops me every time I hear it. I just close my eyes and have a little dance with my man in my head. And "The Way Young Lovers Do" is a wonderful song, too.

We strolled through fields all wet with rain
And back along the lane again
There in the sunshine
In the sweet summertime
The way that young lovers do

I kissed you on the lips once more
And we said goodbye just adoring the nighttime
Yeah, thats the right time
To feel the way that young lovers do

Then we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way that we were
And the way that we were meant to be
Then we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way that I was for you
And you were for me
And then we danced the night away
And turned to each other, say, i love you, I love you
The way that young lovers do

Do, do, do, do...

Then we sat on our star and dreamed of the way that we were and the way
That we wanted to be
Then we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way that I was for you
And you were for me
I went on to dance the night away
And turned to each other, say, i love you, baby, I love you
The way that young lovers do, lovers do, lovers do

The song now playing is Cindy Thompson's "I Always Like that best"
I mean, come on, who hasn't had moments like this with that one "guy" when you were younger, just so wrapped up in the moments of being together nothing else matters? And even though it ended, you have the fond memories of it, right?
For me, it's this song:

Where do I start
Lying on a blanket underneath the stars
With your head on my chest
I always liked that best

I hate how times flies
I still think back sometimes
'Bout your lips on my neck
I always liked that best

That time we took a ride
Ended up down by the river side
Soft touch wet kiss
I always liked that best

I like the way you used to hold me
I like the way you came to know me
You came to know me well well well

Falling to sleep
Wearing your shirt 'cause it smelled so sweet
Who could forget
I always liked that best
Or losing my heart every time you sang to me on your guitar
"Lady in Red"
I always liked that best

I like the way you used to hold me
I like the way you came to know me
You came to know me well well well

I could go on
So many things I miss now that you're gone
Your love oh yes
I always liked that best


And this song:

He was working through college on my grandpa's farm
I was thirsting for for knowledge and he had a car
I was caught somewhere between a woman and a child
When one restless summer we found love growing wild
On the banks of the river on a well beaten path
Funny how those memories they last

Like strawberry wine and seventeen
The hot July moon saw everything
My first taste of love oh bittersweet
Green on the vine
Like strawberry wine

I still remember when thirty was old
My biggest fear was September when he had to go
A few cards and letters and one long distance call
We drifted away like the leaves in the fall
But year after year I come back to this place
Just to remember the taste

Of strawberry wine and seventeen
The hot July moon saw everything
My first taste of love oh bittersweet
Green on the vine
Like strawberry wine

The fields have grown over now
Years since they've seen a plow
There's nothing time hasn't touched
Is it really him or the loss of my innocence
I've been missing so much

Like strawberry wine and seventeen
The hot July moon saw everything
My first taste of love oh bittersweet
Green on the vine
Like strawberry wine

Yes, I do like "Days Like This" too. Nice lyrics that you posted. I've probably heard it before, but will have to check it out. I'm not as familiar with that song.

oooooohhh Escape is a girl after my heart I tell you!

This topic is so close to home lately lol. When I was younger I loved music so much. I was convinced I would work in the music industry some day....but alas, I got pregnant a few months shy of 17 and decided to play house instead...sigh

Whats funny though is that my kiddo is just completely engrossed in music these days. And she takes it to a whole new level I never did...she knows the CEO's of all the major labels..she studies who the different song writers are....who the back up singers are...all kinds of things I never even thought of.

She is also fantastic at the guitar and writes her own songs....

anyways...I was just sharing this with my friends...i officially feel old...because my kiddo listens to all kinds of music I know nothing about and most of the time couldn't tell the difference between one band to another LOL!

She has the music going 24/7 it seems though...her two favorite songs right now are:

Pamamore-Misery Business

and

Meg and Dia-Roses


me? well...I'll stick to my Tori Amos for now thank ye very much!

BTW, Kc, I think if I owned the Rescue Me soundtrack, I'd drive the whole neighborhood crazy with my repeated play of C'mon, C'mon, LOL. What a great song. I miss Rescue Me (doesn't start here in Canada for another few weeks. :-()

Mictay, check out my playlist, it's on there. it's a great song. Great writing and very VERY touching.


Ok, this song is about a summer 12 years before I was born, but dang, when it comes on I rock out to it!
(Was Bryan Adams even born in 1969)

I got my first real six string
Bought it at the five and dime
Played it til my fingers bled
Was the summer of '69

Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I shoulda known we'd never get far
But when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Ya - I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life

Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you - ya

Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of '69

Man we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no...

And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six string
I think about ya'n wonder what went wrong

Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me it would last forever
Oh the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life

LOL, Escapee, that song takes me back to being 12 years old. I used that song (sans lyrics) as the music for a tumbling routine in gymnastics. I still remember every move that went with every word.

I have a couple of pieces of writing that just scream, "TURN ME INTO A SONG!!". BUT, I am not at all a musical person - I have a guitar that a friend gave me for Xmas three years ago, I have yet to tune it, let alone learn to play it, though I desperately want to. Any musicians out there who can do the music part of making a song but get stuck on the words? We could team up, LOL!
