Apols to the tracks I had to leave off: Strange Relationship, Play in the Sunshine, Forever in my Life, The Cross. All classics. Has there ever been another album this eclectic and yet this consistent?
Thanks to @geodrew.bsky.social & @olgalovesyuri.bsky.social 😘

Jockey Full of Bourbon
Waits really is a cinematic songwriter. He writes in scenes and sketches; walk-on parts and character actors. Here it reaches a zenith: with pushed lines and frantic Cuban rhythms that get your heart pounding.

1—Adore
His most soulful track, and one of his best vocal performances, with a middle 8 to die for: the comic timing on “…maybe not the ride” is👌. Might even be my favourite #Prince song full stop. A perfect ender too…

Goodnight Saigon—Billy Joel
"We had no cameras
To shoot the landscape.
We passed the hash pipe
And played our Doors tapes."

Such a Scream
A song set to the rhythm of a drunken brawl, or awkward sex. A rhythm you might expect from a reanimated James Brown. It's got such a glorious jerk to it, it could give you whiplash if you're not careful.

2—The Ballad of Dorothy Parker
Not a ballad, and not about the famous wit either: this track plays with expectations. Bassy, jazzy and cool, with the Joni-referencing middle 8 the cherry on the fruit cocktail.

California—Joni Mitchell
I'm gonna see the folks I dig
I'll even kiss a sunset pig
California I'm going home
(Only found out recently the exotic sounding 'Sunset Pig' is just a cop on Sunset Blvd.)

Runnin' down a Dream
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down,
I had the radio on, I was drivin'
Trees went by, me and Del were singin'
"Little Runaway," I was flyin'
(Del Shannon, natch.)

Martha
A majestic piece of storytelling, told from one side of a phone conversation, so we get but one side of this sad story. Why did they break up? Was it due to his 'impulsiveness'? And what about the enigmatic last line: '*trembling* close to you'?

3—Housequake
You'd think the seismology metaphors would get old, but they never do ('the kick drum is the fault' is a fave.) Without hyperbole, this burning hunk of p-funk really is the baddest jam in the land.

Thinking February or March for this one, if there's enough interest.
RTs appreciated.

So I sat down at the piano today to once again try and workout Johnsburg, Illinois. It's... not perfect, shall we say, but for a man of my humble abilities, it's defo sharable.
Apologies in advance for the creaky piano stool.

4—If I was your Girlfriend
It's a topic few male rock icons would broach, so it's a song that still feels ahead of its time even now. The best lyrics #Prince ever wrote, and a beautiful harmonic structure worthy of them

Johnsburg, Illinois
A love song completely purged of any shmaltz, leaving just searing honesty and raw authenticity. It's no surprise then that his relationship with Kathleen, the subject of this song, is more than 40 years strong.

Mott The Hoople—All the Young Dudes
Oh man, I need TV when I've got T. Rex!
(Also, his brother's back at home with his Beatles and Stones. And there might be a ref to the band Suicide in the first line, though I may be stretching things...)

Cold, Cold Ground
A song about death, of the literal kind, or of a dream or of a stage in life. Yet, while resigned, it has this beautiful bittersweet quality. 'When the road's washed out we pass the bottle around'. Strangely uplifting

It opens with a killer first line that spins the leaden language of Reuters into pure gold, and sets us up perfectly for what turns out to be his 'What's going on'. Genre-bending brilliance.
