Thread Name: Why You Like Certain Singer/Songwriters?
Subject: RE: Why You Like Certain Singer/Songwriters?
Any song that has that imagery that stirs my imagination. Any song that is delivered by the singer like he/she really means it. It's gotta have a great melody too. There are thousands of examples and I could go on all night (I won't). Examples of songs are Billy Bragg - Take Down The Union Jack, Tom Waits - Kentucky Avenue, Tom Waits - The Day After Tomorrow, Martin Carthy - Such A War Has Never Been, Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah (I know it's not his), Jeff Buckley - Lover, You Should've Come Over, Chris Wood - One In A Million and so it goes on and on and on and on.........
There are many tunes that do it too. Andy Cutting's History Man, Michael McGoldrick's Trip To Herve's, Dezi Donnelly's version of Paddy's Rambles Through The Park and so on.
