Been sat In the garden for most of the morning with my 12 string Faith acoustic playing/trying to play this awesome Rolling Stones song 'Good Times-Bad Times'.

What a great thread, some excellent posts.

I was the typical young man in the early seventies, wine, women and song, met a young lady who totally stole my heart, the first one that had managed to break through that tough gruff exterior that was part of my growing up, she was such a beautiful person, helped me so much at times of real hardship and pain, and yet I still didn't take with both hands something that many can go through life without, the day came when even she could take no more and called it a day.

Was at a friends party the last time I ever saw her and this song was playing on the decks, my mate said it wasn't on purpose.......... maybe just fate,

I do have great regrets I never treated her with the tenderness and respect she deserved.

Eva Cassidy. Taken too soon. My dad introduced me to her music. He passed three years ago, amplifying the feels exponentially.



McCartney quotes this as the one song he wish he had written.

Sandy Denny's voice coupled with Richard Thompson's guitar.


I like it but it probably goes on a bit too long.

Sorry, Nix. Portishead. I remember where I was when I first heard 'Dummy', a house in Tuffnell Park. Good music when first heard, like a nice scent when first savoured, can pin you for evrmore to a place, a time and a memory. It's inescapable, even if we would ever want to escape it.


Glory Box but also Sour Times.
I am a sucker for that suspense drama Hungarian/Eastern Europe instrument that sounds like every Sherlock Holmes or Victorian murder mystery.

Sour Times had a great video, too. Geoff Barrow showing up midway through looking ever so menacing -- love it.



Roads is another song from Dummy that has the potential to do me in

This always takes me back to when it was getting close to lights up and I thought I was in...then wasn't....which happened a lot.



From the album Closing Time which is another good place to start your Tom Waits Journey. Nighthawks at the Diner is another with a generous sprinkling of humour for good measure.

Love this. Remember being in Ireland as a kid and my cousin had this on a compilation album. Only other record I remember being on it was Kong Ku fighting.

Great thread. Tom Waits is The Man for me (Saturday Night ... Jersey Girl ... The Piano Has Been Drinking ... all amazing tunes) but when I was younger it was Springsteen. Then he made some rubbish and I wasn't that interested anymore. Until he came out with Western Stars album, and this track, Moonlight Motel.

Couldn't tell you another song they did, even though I have seen them play live before an NFL game at Wembley... but this one track is freaking epic.
