Ben Folds (feat. Regina Spektor) — You Don’t Know Me

May 6, 2022 Beau 2 Comments

Year: 2008

My favorite songwriter has a half-dozen songs or more that I considered. Brick, Best Imitation of Myself, Carrying Cathy, Landed, Boxing pretty much get me every time.

And this one.

John Fogerty — Blueboy

May 1, 2022 Beau Leave a comment

Year: 1997

Fogerty has always been great live, with no significant difference between the studio and his live performances. Blueboy is pretty much his signature swamp rock tune outside of CCR. He also knocked it out of the park with the backup singers for this song and the rest of the album Blue Moon Swamp.

This song makes it here on the back of the line, “God damn, girl can’t you see?”

I heard this for the first time in1994 and I remember thinking that 1989 was such a long time ago.

I love her “Oh, uh, ohs” here and the way “you know who you are” rolls off. Just very relaxing. But honestly I might like her version on Sesame Street even more.

Fastball — Sweetwater, Texas

That’s three days in a row with a late 90’s alt rock band.

Final track on their most famous album that saw The Way, Fire Escape, and Out of My Head do well. Nice, simple ballad.

Everclear — I Will Buy You A New Life

Year: 1997

I don’t know why, but I feel like if I heard this song for the first time today I wouldn’t like it. But I loved everything alt rock in high school. Twin Cities had a great alt rock station back in the day, 104.1 The Point.

Erasure — Always

One of my favorite synth-pop songs. The synth compliments Andy Bell’s voice well.

En Vogue — Giving Him Something He Can Feel

Year: 1992

I like this better than Aretha’s version. Aretha is great, but the backup singers are kind of meh. En Vogue harmonizes really well.
