12 Aug 00 - 09:29 AM (#276267) Subject: Songs from the summer of 2000 From: mactheturk We often relate songs to particular periods of time in the way certain smells bring back old memories. A heartfelt tune can bring us back to very specific summer thoughts. For example, the new CD "Appalachian Journey" with Mark O'Connor Yo-Yo Ma and Edgar Meyer will always remain attached to my memory of this years trip to North Carolina. Do you have similar favorites this summer? Thanks, Mac |

12 Aug 00 - 10:03 AM (#276270) Subject: RE: Songs from the summer of 2000 From: Liz the Squeak 'You're in my heart' Rod Stewart, will always bring back summer 1979, when I met my first love. And Hazel O'Connor doing 'Stay now' will always bring back May 1983 when I met the ultimate love of my life.... excuse me whilst I go and be a bit emotional..... LTS |

12 Aug 00 - 10:33 AM (#276279) Subject: RE: Songs from the summer of 2000 From: P05139 Sorry, but yet more pop songs! North And South "Tarantion's New Star"brings back memories of 1997. Spice Girls "Viva Forever" brings back memories of Warwick festival 1998, when I listened to the Top 40 then went and heckled Keith Donnelly!! Steps always remind me of Summer of ANY year after 1998! Byee! |

12 Aug 00 - 01:42 PM (#276332) Subject: RE: Songs from the summer of 2000 From: Mbo It's hard to think of what songs remind me of this summer, since it's still this summer. Probably Oasis & The Beatles, since I've been on a binge with them since June. Also, my Carolina Beach Music album "Always Be My Girl" will forever remind me of this summer (and the girl I love, evidement). --Matt |

When I do, I expect that one stand out will be Psalm Elegy by Strul Irvin Glick. It's for chamber choir and harp or piano, text by Toby Bonguard. Beyond that, it's too early to tell for sure. |

12 Aug 00 - 02:19 PM (#276357) Subject: RE: Songs from the summer of 2000 From: Susan from California Summer of 2000, I think "Cold Missouri Water" (sorry--I don't know who wrote it, con't have my copy of the cd that I heard it on) It's a song about a firejumper in Montana and since I was just in Missoula,MT during what the locals said is one of the worst fire seasons in 50 years--that song will probably bring my trip to mind. It was rather hard to appreciate the amazing beauty of the area when it is impossible to see the mountains because the smoke is so thick :-( Summer of 1975--Springsteen. I was 16 and a guy I knew took me to Asbury Park for the day to see Madame Marie's and the tilt-a-whirl, etc. I still remember the bikini I wore that day, and the fact that Steve liked it, too :-) ahhhh, youth.

Also 'Bright Blue Rose' 'cos I have been singing it all week trying to learn it. Probably lots of other stuff which I don't know about yet 'cos the summer's not over. Catrin |

He won't remember. 2000 Aye waukin O because he sang it to me the other night when no one else was there.....and it was lovely too. |

Oh yes and a certain Scottish Junior Cup Final viewed in a garage in Ayr, and last years FAI Cup Final Replay. |

I hate warm, sunny weather, so I usually try to forget the whole damned season. But it was nice and chilly in the early summer, and back then my favourite song was probably 'I fjol gjett je gjeita' by Triakel. ---Lepus Rex |

12 Aug 00 - 09:46 PM (#276585) Subject: RE: Songs from the summer of 2000 From: Margaret V Susan, the song was written by James Keelaghan, and can be found on his CD "A Recent Future." It's a great song, I sing it all the time, but I frankly much prefer Richard Shindell singing it on his "Cry, Cry, Cry" collaboration with Dar Williams and Lucy Kaplansky. Hmmm, I wonder if that's a thread that already exists: the thread where we say which songs we like better when done by someone other than the person who wrote it? Best, Margaret |

Songs from summers when I was young and full of hope? Too many to count :) |

13 Aug 00 - 03:02 PM (#276992) Subject: RE: Songs from the summer of 2000 From: Naemanson I don't relate songs to time but to people and places. One year my sister went to school in Virginia and I was stationed nearby. We drove the Smoky Mountains listening to Jim Croce in the 8 track. Amazing Grace will always remind me of the woman I almost married and who broke my heart most completely. Willie Nelson's "On The Road Again" and Schooner Fare's "I See the Light" will always remind me of my wife and our travels and travails. |

"Pernod", by Johnny Cunningham and Michael O'Domhnaill, "Plum Creek", by Grey Larsen, and also, my favorite piece of Finnish music (so far), "Viimeinen Valssi" (The Last Finnish Waltz). Carol |

14 Aug 00 - 07:09 AM (#277317) Subject: RE: Songs from the summer of 2000 From: Gervase The songs that stick can be weird. Back in the summer of '77 I was in France and the woman with whom I was truly, madly, deeply etc was on the other side of the Channel. French pop music, as any fule no, simply sucks, so the radio playlists are nearly all anglo - which meant that that summer I couldn't escape from the Julie Covington version of Don't Cry For Me, Argentina as I moped around in a love-struck, teen-angst, lost sock in the laundromat of life sort of way. The good news is, I still love the woman for whom I was pining. The bad news is, I can also sing the song word-perfect (which is odd for a bloke!). |

14 Aug 00 - 10:15 AM (#277386) Subject: RE: Songs from the summer of 2000 From: Kim C Don Henley's Boys of Summer always strikes a chord with me (no pun intended). It reminds me of summers past and present. "I can tell you my love for you will still be strong/After the boys of summer have gone...." |

14 Aug 00 - 01:38 PM (#277498) Subject: RE: Songs from the summer of 2000 From: Pinetop Slim "Now Is the Cool of the Day," June 15, 2000: I'd heard Jean Ritchie sing it before, but not with the poignancy she did that night at the Hindman Settlement School. She told how a proposed new road will tear away half the yard from her cabin in Vico (you may have seen the place in the opening scenes of Bill Moyer's "Amazing Grace" or on "High Hills and Mountains" album cover) and that drove home the meaning of this eco-anthem. "Credo," June 21, 2000: Hayseed doesn't get played much in New England (not that we're snobby or provincial or inclined to prejudge somebody by a rubish name or anything like that). I'm pretty sure I'll always know where I was -- northbound on Kentucky Route 15 -- the first time I heard him singing this, with Lucinda Williams harmonizing. |
