Today's song is...
Stormy Pinkness
"I can hear the women shouting but I can't hear any of the men."
It was a very long time before I ever heard any version of this song other than the "Love Version" so I pretty much had no idea what the lyrics were because you can't really hear them over all the people shouting "Love." But, oh, I am quite fond of that version. Even if it is one of the songs that will keep me from every reaching my goal of hearing every song on the Dial-A-Song collection live.
I also like the instrumentation of the traditional version. It's got kind of a dreamy quality to it. Waltz time. "Choose your partner."

I cannot think of a time in my fandom where I did not love this song. The lyrics are typically Linnellian, but I feel like there is some sort of sentiment to them. I dunno. But I like it. It's a comforting song.
ReplyDeleteI really like this song too. Simple and strangely sweet.
ReplyDelete"Don't let that fool you."
(A fine enough song, but I won't let them fool me into agreeing that it's a waltz in 3/4 time. Way too fast for a waltz step. It's in 6/8. (I only nitpick those I love.))
ReplyDeleteWow, I haven't heard this song in a lonnng time. I kind of forgot about it. Except that the title pops into my head whenever I hear of "stormy conditions".
ReplyDeleteI remember liking it, but I don't think it really had a huge impact on me. Thus the forgetting. I listened to it on MySpace. That's where I first heard a lot of TMBG songs after I bought The User's Guide, Flood, and Apollo 18.
