Hey Mermaid02,. these are for you...

With David Lindley he was awesome with Jackson!


Call it a Loan-Jackson Browne and David Lindley

In the morning when I closed my eyes
You were sleeping in paradise
And while the room was growing light
I was holding still with all my might

Oh--what if it's true
...What my heart says
Oh--what'll I do
What if this feeling becomes hard to part with

You were meant to play your part
In the design of a desperate heart
And while you gave your love to me
I was betting I was getting it free

Oh-- If I'd only known
...What your heart cost
Oh-- can we call it a loan
And a debt that I owe
On a bet that I lost

In the evening when you see my eyes
Looking back at you, no disguise
I'm not sure who you think you'll see
I'm just hoping you'll still know that it's me

Oh-- what if it's true
...Better ask the man inside
Oh, oh-- there seem to be two
One steals the love, and the other one hides.

Yeah-- can we call it a loan
Till I'm paid in full for the seeds I've sown
Yeah-- can we say that I've grown
In someway that we may have yet to be shown

Oh-- if I'd only known
...What your heart cost
Oh-- can we call it a loan
And a debt that I owe
On a bet that I lost





I love this recording because Rosemary Butler was still with him singing backup vocals. She has amazing harmonies!

Love Needs A Heart-Jackson Browne

Maybe the hardest thing I've ever done

Was to walk away from you

Leaving behind the life that we'd begun

I split myself in two

Proud and alone, cold as a stone

Rolling down that hill into the night

I could see the surprise and the hurt in your eyes

From behind each flashing city light

Love needs a heart and I need to find

If loves needs a heart like mine

Love won't come near me, she don't even hear me

She walks past my vacancy sign

Love needs a heart, trusting and blind

I wish that heart was mine

Proud and alone, cold as a stone

I'm afraid to believe the things I feel

I can cry with the best I can laugh with the rest

But I'm never sure when it's real

And it may be the hardest thing I've ever done

But apart from all that I hope to find

Where's the heart that's been looking for mine?

I hope it finds me in time

Love needs a heart and I need to find

If love needs a heart like mine




Maybe I should just list every song JB ever wrote, except for Doctor My Eyes, Rock Me On the Water and The Pretender -seems like those are the only ones anyone has ever heard of.

Amazing, songwriter/storyteller/performer. Ok, I'm done gushing...LOVE YOU JACKSON!!

I saw him on the first solo accoustic tour. My DH surprised me and got me front row center seats. He was wonderful, I had only seen him with his band before. He must have had to hire a local last minute assistant (he has about 10-15 guitars that are all tuned differently), because the guy was a total idiot! Jackson even had to tell him to stop tuning while he was playing because we could hear him! I'm surprised he didn't have a fit. Anyway, it was terrific, even if he didn't sign the huge poster my DH had made up from a photo from a previous concert. DH blew it up and arranged for it to be backstage, but I am thinking that JB was so pissed off by the end of it, that he just left as soon as he could..

David Lindley was.....an interesting guy to see in concert, too..kind of crazy.

I would love to see JB in concert- if he comes anywhere in the NorthEast I'm there! I was listening to SA II and in the banter he says, "My girlfriend flew all the way from California to Maine and I forgot to sing her this song..." or something like that.... I was like DAMN they were in Maine and I missed it! LOL

Alabama - Paper Rival
Anything by Amanda Palmer (love her!)
Up the Bracket (album) - The Libertines - Pete Doherty actually has talent!
My Husband has me hooked on Old Crow Medecine Show and Packway Handle Band
1000 Oceans by Tori Amos

 

[Hillbeans]

"If I told you that" by Whitney Houston and George Michael.

For some reason the song didn't go over well, and her record company released a duet with her and Enrique Iglasias around the same time instead, but it's a shame the song didn't catch on because it's a good one, and rarely if never heard on the radio.

Blind Melon "Change"- I this band as much today as I did in the early 1990s- what a voice.
