Rags Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Pretty much anything by Leonard Cohen.... especially the track that was featured in Natural Born Killers... Waiting for the miracle or somethingtotster <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If you want to continue in a reflective mood, then its pretty hard to beat Leonard Cohen's version of "Everybody Knows" The song was written by Neil Diamond and was featured in the movie "Pump up the Volume", but it's definitely a little darker than your average "Song Sung Blue"...!!!

Neil Dimond started off in the Bob Dylan mode, very folky, but then turned commercial. Edited May 24, 2005 by HarryHacker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaVisionBurma Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 there's a song called "Crazy", circa 1997/98, can't remember the artist (NOT Seal) can anyone enlighten me? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm pretty sure the song you are thinking of is by a band called "Icehouse": You gotta be crazy baby... to want a guy like me...? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's about 10 years too early. This song was released in 97 or 98 on an MTV Asia compilation (I think) - tried googling but just cant find it Got it! Cordrazine. Now I can sleep...

Personally, The The (Matt Johnson) always gets me. to pick me up if i'm down. Firestarter- The Prodigy That and Breathe always gets me hyped up – once made the mistake of listening to it before a yoga class, found it hard to relax.

It's years since I listened to it, but I believe it was called "Kingdom of Rain" (?)

The Gentleman Scamp Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Pretty much anything by Leonard Cohen.... especially the track that was featured in Natural Born Killers... Waiting for the miracle or somethingtotster <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Is he still alive, Tots? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As far as I know he's still alive and living in a hut on a mountain somewhere. I too like 'Waiting For The Miracle' and a lot of his early 90's comeback stuff. I bought the album 'The Future' after buying the NBK soundtrack and was very impressed, there's three songs Oliver Stone used but only two made the soundtrack, though the cd is possibly his LEAST depressing. My mate Felix used to listen to a lot of early Leonard Cohen and ended up taking an overdose after being made redundant from Kodak and being told his liver was a mess. He's fine now, last I saw he was high on Prozac and on a musical diet of Squeeze and Ian Dury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khun Jean Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 When you listen to "I've been loving you too long" and "pain in my heart" followed by "A change is gonna come". "Mr. Pitiful", "Respect and finally "Tramp" and "Love man" you are cured of the blues. Peformed by the master himself who has so much pain in his voice that your own pain is insignificant.

Spee Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Yours? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm a blues/R&B/boogie-woogie fanatic, so anything along those lines usually does the trick for a pick-me-up. Though if I were forced to pick absolutely one and only one, then it would probably be Steely Dan's "Aja." Wayne Shorter's sax solos and Steve Gadd's drumwork were so inventive, unique and never since replicated anywhere, that the song always makes me appreciate the musician-ship and forget about everything else for a few minutes.

I've got everything they have ever recorded but have a “Best of.." Cd that is guaranteed to bring me out of the deepest Deacon Blues. BTW, a bit of useless information (I love to boast), my eldest son who plays drums in a heavy metal band, studied for 6 months under Steve Gadd. Which gives me an idea for another thread - a list of the best numbers Steve Gadd has played on - impossible to find only 10 out of the hundreds of excellent numbers on which he has helped.

baht&sold Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 (edited) Everything I do, I do it for you - Bryan Adams i hate that song. to pick me up if i'm down. Firestarter- The Prodigy If i'm down and want to get further down. i great song. The End - the Doors <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Agreed twice! BA's a countryman but that song is pure pop fluff. The End...doom meets gloom... Great song. How bout- Time to Say Goodbye (Con Te Partirò) Andrea Bocelli w Sarah Brightman (max volume!) Or, Led Zep 'Going to California', Still got the blues- Gary moore, Sailing- Rod Stewart, The Boxer- Simon & Garfunkle, Black Hole Sun- Soundgarden, Clocks- Coldplay and the list goes on. Each of these songs can be equally inspiring as well (at least for me) As someone said earlier, (quoting Monty Python) "Always look on the bright side of life" Edit: forgot "Superman"- Crash Test Dummies, great Canadian 'wheat rock n blues'.

Spee Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 BTW, a bit of useless information (I love to boast), my eldest son who plays drums in a heavy metal band, studied for 6 months under Steve Gadd. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's pretty awesome! Your kid must be a heckuva drummer. I had one close friend and several acquaintances at university who were all drummers. Each and every one of them used to constantly tweak their skins to try to replicate the Gadd sound. That sound is very reconizable. Which gives me an idea for another thread - a list of the best numbers Steve Gadd has played on - impossible to find only 10 out of the hundreds of excellent numbers on which he has helped. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He has done albums and tours with Paul Simon and Eric Clapton. He's in that b*mb of a movie "One Trick Pony" that Simon made back when that album came out. He's the featured drummer in one of Clapton's video dvds. He was the session drummer on Lee Ritenour's fantastic debut album in the late 70's. I could dig up a lot more, but don't have the time. The websites would probably give a lot more detail: http://www.intrepidsoftware.com/sgadd/ Strange thing is that as good as "Aja" and Steely Dan are, I don't think Gadd did anything before or after that with them.
