First Music Thread of the Off Season

[Centerstream]

When you have 20 minutes to spare

 

[Kaizen]

The lyrics describe the blameless end of a loving relationship.

 

[Aluminny69]

For clarification, songs that tell a story are called Ballads. (so says Capt. Obvious) Here is arguably the first and most popular of the many Teen Tragedy Songs of the late fifties and early sixties.

 

[Aluminny69]

When you have 20 minutes to spare

You can get anything you want! (excepting Alice)

 

[Kaizen]

The song is a critical profile of a self-absorbed lover about whom Simon asserts "You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you." The title subject's identity has long been a matter of speculation, with Simon stating that the song refers to three men, only one of whom she has named publicly: actor Warren Beatty.

 

[Kaizen]

The song’s lyrics are very vivid and easy to imagine, so it feels like you’re listening to a story.

However, “Hotel California” is really a song about excess and materialism.

 

[Hoops66]

A good old life story...

 

[Hoops66]

Prepare for a chill on the high notes...

Your video is from one of my favorite live concerts filmed on Martha's Vineyard. This is one my favorite songs from that concert, a haunting melody

 

[Fairfield_1st]

Tough topic because every song tells some kind of story. I've decided to make my offering true stories.
Love this song. I believe it's from an Amnesty show.

 

[Hoops66]

Pretty powerful I do believe....

[Hoops66]

Another story that brings a tear...

 

[Fairfield_1st]

A U2 song about Billie Holiday and the blues.

 

[Littlemin]

Pretty powerful I do believe....

It sure is, one of my favorite bands doing one of the greatest anti-war songs ever written!

 

[Aluminny69]

A beautiful pictorial tribute to one of the greatest Canadian folk songs ever written. Tells the story of how the Canadian railroad was built. Definitely worth a listen if you are not familiar with this song, sung by Canada's premier story teller.
