Meat Loaf – Bat Out Of Hell

Video

Growing up, I saw this album at my Uncle Rock's house. Having no idea what it was actually about, or who Meat Loaf was, I was fairly scandalized by what seemed an edgy title and cover art. What a child I was.

Anyway, this definitely reminds me of Uncle Rock.

It's been a nice week to share a few songs. Thanks all!

Billy Joel – Only The Good Die Young

Video

My godson, Emerson, wasn't ever really verbal before he passed, but he definitely communicated through music. That was a key thing for him, and he seemed to really dig Billy Joel. Obviously this song isn't really about the good dying young, but that doesn't stop me from thinking about him when it is played.

Sting – Every Breath You Take

Video

My friend Radhika died pretty tragically last year, and this song tracks back to our time in college together. One of the first books we read in our class was The Collector by John Fowles, which is a perfectly creepy book about a kidnapping. And somehow or other Radhika and I ended up discussing this song as being creepy and kidnappy right alongside our book.

Also, yes, this has been played on the site before, but it's a different, just-Sting, performance at least?

OneRepublic – I Lived

Video

This song reminds me of my sister, Anna. As many of you might recall, she had cystic fibrosis, and passed at the age of 23. This song was released right around the time she passed, and one of the constant tributes was how fully she lived each moment of her life, full of swagger and verve. So this song was already appropriate.

Then the band went and released their official music video version and, well, just watch the first minute and tell me it wasn't perfect:

Jim Carroll (With Lou Reed) – People Who Died

Video

This guest DJ stint was originally scheduled a few weeks ago, but my grandmother died and I was AFK a bunch, so I pushed it to this week. It gave me the idea to do a theme week with a little tribute song each day for people in my life who have passed away. Some'll be funeral songs, some won't. And today we'll kick it off with a song that is too catchy for the subject matter, but just had to be played.

Jimmy Buffett – Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes

Video

We've been debating spring break for a couple months or more. It wasn't pretty. There were a couple nervous breakdowns. We didn't reach consensus and action until Friday, finally settled on itinerary and accommodations. There was a lot of booking and cancelling. We leave Monday.

We feel ridiculous, mostly, at our planning disfunction, but are hopeful for a little fun and relaxation along the beach for a few days. We don't do this, really, so wish us luck.

(Also, best comment I saw on the Jimmy Buffet YouTube: "Being 20 in the Seventies was a lot more fun than being 70 in the Twenties")
