I seem to remember How Much I Lied being a Gram Parsons song....could be wrong tho...

It was the Gram Parson's song, Panzade, EC covered this and "I'm your toy" on his album of country covers Almost blue, but it was the Costello version I heard first and fell in looove with.

Great, The Temptations, love them, still have their triple album anniversary release "Anthology" on vinyl! It was probably the best of all the Mowtown Anthologies, although i hav'n't heard them all but i think that The Temptations one made me expect too much of what others that I have heard.

So... 3 Temptations, then?

Love the list, but I'm surprised that "dreams" isn't in there as everyone seems to regard it as her classic... Smile

0 Replies

Funny one, that, coz I used to think that "Dreams" was one of her classics too but over the years I've come to think that I was more enamoured of the haunting lyric than I was of Stevie's voice.

I know that "haunting" is a word often used to describe her vocals but I really don't think that she does that for "Dreams" [not in the way that she does on "Gypsy", for example].

Sorry if I offend any Stevie Nick's fans. Smile

panzade, have you heard of Rufus Wainwright? Do critique for me (if known). Louden Wainwright's son????

Cheers!

Love his version of Hallelujah!

Quote:
I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?

I am in love with this song - it's one of the boyfriend's favourites, and has turned into a makes-me-cry-every-time-i-hear-it song Sad

Edit:

Quote:

Leonard Cohen wrote it. Bob Dylan's favorite verse was the last one ....

Quote:
I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

I knew that Cohen wrote it... but I've never heard that last verse - Wainwright only sings the first 5 on my version.... now I'm gonna have to go find an original copy
