This song is the spiritual sister of Desire's "Black Diamond Bay".

I used to see myself as Rosemary in this sad yes

Back when I'd be drinking hard and seeing my reflection and thinking I had done a lot of bad things sad yes

And I was looking to do just one good deed before I died sad yes

Luckily I was able to do a different good deed to the one Rosemary does.

Perhaps we'll get a chance to commentate that one day Excited

This song's a beguiling masterpiece of lyrical brilliance and storytelling skill that confounds its musical limitations.

Bobby D. as the authentic latter day troubadour.

Track 8 - If You See Her, Say Hello.

Acoustic guitars.

This reminds me of that song by that bloke about that DJ who got sacked and locked himself in the studio and kept playing records until the police forced their way in and dragged him out of there.

What was that called and who was it by? dunno

This one's slightly a cut above mere filler.

It's a bit too long though.

It should've been about 3 minutes long.

Short and sweet.

It's going to be driving me up the wall all night, now.

I love the arpeggio just before the start of each verse.

(Does one talk about arpeggios in a guitar context? I mean the 4 notes of chord one after the other instead of all at once)

Isn't that the plot of that Alan Partridge movie? dunno

Track 9 - Shelter from the Storm.

by Fangirl Three Sat Feb 15, 2020 8:15 pm

Sun down, yellow moon
I replay the past

I got this album in 1998, when I was finally growing out of replaying the past. A good way to say goodbye to it.

by Nightjar Sat Feb 15, 2020 8:15 pm

Again, I prefer the Hard Rain version.

by Fangirl Three Sat Feb 15, 2020 8:16 pm

I don't really like the last two tracks on this album, I only listen to them for the sake of the holistic experience.

by Nightjar Sat Feb 15, 2020 8:16 pm

We need to do something by Neil Young.

by Nightjar Sat Feb 15, 2020 8:17 pm

And the Wu-Tang Clan.

by Fangirl Three Sat Feb 15, 2020 8:18 pm

I don't know if I want to be listening to an album I haven't heard before, playing Wendi's 'harsh critic' role.
