We are totally musical soul sisters, I'll tell you what.

Awesome list. I love your commentary on everything.

Not Ready To Make Nice was my ANTHEM for about three years. Really, until about the middle of this year, to be honest. I love to run to that one- the passion and anger really gets me moving.

You are SO right about Drops of Jupiter. I was OBSESSED with the song when it came out and still have it on about a million of my playlists. When it comes on, something in my just shifts a bit.

I have to be honest, I love the Beatles but Come Together has never been my favorite. I, personally, love rocking out to While My Guitar Gently Weeps. This is not the Beatles version but from the VH-1 Legends concert, performed by Tom Petty, Prince (!!!) and George Harrison's (way cute!) son. At 3:40, Prince gets the solo and rocks it out of the park. I mean, I thought Clapton was genius on this song. Clapton has NOTHING on Prince. Just... SO GOOD.

Here's another version with Clapton, McCartney, Starr and Harrison's son, in a concert ( ... )

I thought you might like this one, if you haven't seen it already.

Yesterday, live. Paul has to perform by himself, in the single spotlight and then John brings him flowers. :)

The problem with that plan is that you need to watch Na Na Na first! (Er, assuming that you haven't already.) The Sing video is a direct sequel, so it will be a much, much richer experience. Don't worry, there's lots of Grant Morrison in that one too!

We need more unself-conscious public singing. It's good for you! *g*

Today's theme is singing; what, you say you can't sing? Why on earth do you care? ... It's you and the music; bring it. If someone doesn't like it, they can go away. It's not about them, so fuck 'em. I'll buy them earplugs myself if they're being a dick.

One of the best anonymous-source sayings I ever heard was, "If only the most talented birds sang, the forest would be a very quiet place." I would love it if someone someday sourced that for me, because I love it so much.

[Note: holy shit, does Paul have a mullet?]

Paul's mullet was epic in the 70s - for a while, he and Linda had matching mullets. And maybe it's a mark of how much of a fangirl I am that I believe that mid-70s Paul McCartney was the only person who ever truly pulled off a mullet. :-)

I can't even tell what it's about even singing it; I so do not care.The most intriguing explanation of the lyrics of "Come Together" that I ever heard was that each of the four verses describes one of the Beatles. Starting with George (slow groove of his slide guitar, and "holy roller ( ... )

My sing-thing for at least a few months has been the Moulin Rouge! soundtrack, but especially Ewan McGregor's cover of Elton John's "Your Song" - I can sing with it on Single-Repeat for 20 times before I let it pick up with the rest of the songs ( ... )

I've been away from LJ and Fandom for a long time -- only now is it coming back to me that I already regaled you years ago with the whole med-rundown -- which you explained simply isn't for you -- srry for the repeat!

However, the mood-control bio=feedback is new and works for Clinical D not just Hypomania. :0)
