Van Morrison: Carrying a Torch
"diese bewegende, kehlige Stimme" (Markus Heller)   "Van Morrison singing his own song Carrying a Torch sounds a little formulaic" (MarcLemay/amazon.com) "mit Liedern, die mal wieder so richtig unter die Haut gehen wie etwa so fabelhafte Kompositionen aus seiner Feder a la “Oh The Warm Feeling”, “So Quiet In Here”, “Carrying A Torch” oder “Piper At The Gates of Dawn.”" (Tom/www.zoolamar.com)
"I've been going to and fro on this"

Marcia Griffiths: Don't let me down
"DJ played this before The Wailers took the stage last? night in San Francisco. I'm usually pretty critical of Beatles covers but this one does it justice, for sure!"  (crzydmnd42 on youtube)  "I never really knew how to love, I just hoped somehow I'd see,Asked for a little help from above.Send that angel down to me#Marcia Griffiths" (Catherine Mukei on twitter) "my album before “Land of Love” I chose to call “Indomitable”, which means not easily discouraged or defeated."  (M.G.(/www.dancehallreggaeworld.com)
"I'm in love for the first time
Don't you know it's gonna last?"

Talk Talk: I don't believe in you
"findet zwischen Lakonismus und Aufschrei bis zur Kunstlosigkeit deutliche Laute." (Martin Ahrends) "nervt auf Dauer"   "Düstere Songs" (ME Sounds/ko) "This song was never meant to be filmed" (bjcoughlan on youtube)

To the seat with the clearest view"

Dave Clark Five: Raining in my Heart
"Buddy Holly (sein Song) war einer der einfussreichsten Musiker des Rock'n'Rolls... Das Flugzeug, mit den Insassen Holly, Valens und Big Bopper, stürzte nach einigen Kilometern ab. Don McLean besang diesen traurigen Tag in seinem Stück American Pie als "the day the music died".  (www.idiepedia.de) "Der Tag, an dem die Musik starb, war vielleicht ein trauriger, doch noch ist sie, die Musik, ein jedes Mal zum Leben erwacht" (www.plattentests.de)   "Mike Smith, Sänger der britischen 60er-Jahre-Band The Dave Clark Five, ist tot...  musste seit September 2003 wegen einer Verletzung am Rückenmark ständig im Krankenhaus behandelt werden. Er war durch die Verletzung von der Hüfte an querschnittsgelähmt" (Hamburger Morgenpost, 29.2.2008)
"there’s not a cloud to spoil the view
but it’s raining"

Jon Brion: Strings that tie to you
"I feel jetlagged without ever having travelled (J.B./www.thenitmustbetrue.com)  "this bad idea of him writing melodies that were very strong that did not belong in the movie. And I did not use it, which is heartbreaking.” (David O. Russell, Director "The Fighter")  "So I play the song now and look at the words, and it’s kind of painful: I feel really bad for the guy who wrote that song." (J.B. about J.B. Greg Kot/beatpatrol.wordpress.com)
"From the wrinkles on my forehead
To the mud upon my shoe
Everything's a memory
With strings that tie to you"

Someone here is really not happy"

"The sun is the same in the relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death"

Ryan Adams: Touch, Feel & Lose
"I couldn't figure out why the Touch, Feel & Lose link is broken." (patty/blog.lullabyes.net) "Listeners often need to wade through some pedestrian material just to find a few pearls of poetic excellence." (www.musicdirect.com) "recalls Leonard Cohen at his most romantic" (Bud Scoppa/All Music Guide)
"If you were a bird could you sing me a song of sorrow
'Cause all I know from you is grief"
