T-Beth: the intro reminds me of the Pscyadelic Furs. I think… it sounds familiar but I can’t figure out what the song is… Maybe the cure? I can hear the lyrics in my head. got it……. “In between days” by The Cure, the intro right before the lyrics start. not quite the same but has the same feel. I like it.
RWJ – Love Robert Johnson. However, after awhile all of the songs blend together. I think I have a box set, 3 or 4 cds of everything he had done. A few outstanding songs and most will run together, but you can’t deny the talent.
The Beths – Metal
I instantly like the breezy opening. It does have a little of The Cure, and maybe The Church, sound. Great chiming tones in the bridge. It’s good, but I feel like they need a little something that “says” this is “The Beths.” The song ends interestingly – a change is coming (the video helps that). I noticed the bass more a second time through. I’m up for more.
Robert Johnson – Stones In My Passway
I have to admit that something like this feels somewhat like an assignment at first. I must listen closely and try to remember the history. On a second listen, I could relax a bit and just appreciate the unique guitar playing and a man telling his troubles.
“Metal”/The Beths. Winsome guitar pop with thoughtful lyrics. The streams of chimy single notes recall early Pretenders. A rumination on health, with a touch of existential wonder: “I know I’m a collaboration.” Great line. I would have guessed this was a bit older but I see it just came out last year!
The Beths- I will not say no to jangly guitar. It has a Feelies vibe to me. While I like her voice, it was better near the end when it sounded like she was exerting herself a bit. I’m not sure the video added to the experience in a good way. First, I thought they were farmers, then I got worried that they might be cultists, fixin’ to take out some people. However, the end revealed that they were simply lunatics.
Robert Johnson- I did not think this song was about ailments, though the metaphor of stones in the pathway put me in the mind of passing kidney stones. I guess technically “pains in my hearts” could be more directly related to illness though the line “I got three legs to truck home” made me think again about passing a kidney stone (the old third leg). As my colleagues suggested above, this particular song sounds quite similar to several other RJ tunes in its technical and rhythmic style. You’d think the guy could use a flanger or turn up the distortion on his amp of something.
Wow did not expect this. This round I keep bracing myself for gloomy. This song was absolutely “delightful” on many levels. First, music discovery. Love finding new things. The sounds, textures, arrangement, story and general intangibles captured me. Thank You for sharing.
Robert Johnson Stones in My Passway: my first thought was a song about gall stones. I read it was actually about that hoodoo magic. Mr Johnson is a frequent flyer in MyFive and I am always glad when he visits.
