I love alliteration, don’t you? If you don’t recognize this line, it’s from the title track of Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy.  Besides using a cool poetic device, the song paints a picture of the dichotomy of two very different lives coming together and making magic.  Eloquent in its simplicity. Captain Fantastic raised…

This was the first ring tone I had on my cell phone.  And trust me, it wasn’t easy, since my phone at the time did not support user-created ring tones.  Quite embarrassing when my husband works for myxer.  But we got that solved by buying a new phone – the first thing I asked was…

…which, if you didn’t know, is the title of the “Official Misheard Lyrics Book“…I thought it was hilarious the first time I heard about it…I guess that’s two degrees! Of course, the title is a shout out to the quirky (but you gotta love it) way EJ says “Danceeewwwwrrrr”… A brilliant song, for sure.  Who…

A simple sentiment, but perhaps even more relevant today than when it was written.  Literally, with all the controversy around borders and all;  sadly, that perhaps race has been replaced by (compounded with?) religion. Holy Moses I have been removed I have seen the spectre he has been here too Distant cousin from down the…

Pinky’s as perfect as the Fourth of July…and so is this song.  An endearing ballad that (to me) paints a sweet vignette of young love: I don’t want to wake you But I’d like to tell you that I love you That the candlelight fell like a crescent Upon your feather pillow I just love…

From one of my favorite albums (Sleeping with the Past is the dynamic duo’s tribute to vintage R&B), Whispers is a very vividly sensual song: Look at me twice with wildcat eyes Promise me everything except a blue night Shudder like ice in cut crystal glass Melt in embraces of crazy eyed past And whisper,…

From the moment I first heard this song, I was smitten.  Evoking New Orleans (or at least my image of it), this song leaves me breathless every time I listen to it, perhaps because it hits so close to home. We all have our secrets, some of us even have our sins. I know you’ve…

The first thing I must mention: The lyrics were not written by Bernie.  (Gasp)!  It seems almost sacrilegious to include “other” songs, but I can’t help it if I like this one).  The words come compliments of  Tom Robinson. I’ve always loved the tempo change and the background choir. Plus back in the day, I…

Well, it’s my tribute to the song “Amoreena.” Undoubtedly some of the sexiest lyrics of all time – melded with Elton’s delivery…yum! I can see you sitting eating apples in the evening The fruit juice flowing slowly, slowly, slowly Down the bronze of your body I therefore decided to blend my name and the title,…

Silly boys, but of course they will! And we were oh oh, so you know Not the kind to dawdle Will the things we wrote today Sound as good tomorrow We will still be writing In approaching years Stifling yawns on Sundays As the weekends disappear And they have been (for going on 6 decades)! …
