Day 8: A song that’s acoustic

Bruce Cockburn - Wondering Where The Lions Are​

A friend got me listening to this..really like this song

I used this title as a line in a story, no idea why, i was just wondering what the character would be wondering and this song popped in my head!

Day 8: A song that’s acoustic

Mathias Blad was a fairly famous Swedish opera singer, who grew tired of the genre and on a whim started a little side project; symphonic power metal band Falconer. In the beginning it was just a studio band, they had no plans on performing live, but as they took the European metal world by storm that quickly changed.

And thank fuck they did.
Mathias has one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard.
It's crystalline.

Falconer - Mindtraveller

Interstate Love Song - STP

Stone Temple Pilots. I enjoy the hard rock version of their songs, but appreciate the lyrics and voice of the late Scott Weiland more when the songs are slowed down and it's just him and a guitar. Beautiful.

A classic of the 1920's dirty blues genre.

Lucille Bogan - "Shave 'Em Dry"

This song has come up a lot. I believe @Tigobitties98 mentioned that she was given the lyrics right as they started recording so you can hear her reacting to the words as she is singing them for the first time. Love it. Good choice.

TBH I didn't know whether to use the "Wow" reaction or the "laugh" reaction.... the song DID make me smile though..

Day 8: A song that’s acoustic

Is there a Rule 34 for music? I saw this prompt and immediately thought wouldn’t it be cool if Metallica had an acoustic version of Enter Sandman (there is a compilation album of acoustic songs, but sandman is not one of the tracks.)

Googled, and voila:

Day 8: A song that's acoustic

I was going to stick to metal and share a stripped down song but I had this song in my head recently and chose it instead.

Eric Clapton - Tears in Heaven

Day 8: A song that’s acoustic

I'm not entirely sure if this is an acoustic song, but it's definitely pared down. Really enhances the disturbing story of the lyrics.

Brandon Flowers - Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine

Day 7: A song that's 5+ minutes long

I spent most of the day wrestling with what to choose for this prompt. Most of what rattled in my head were songs of 9+ mins or much longer. But somewhere in my thought process, I became more interested in genre and one that I love and I've barely used, so....it's over 5 mins but not over 6.

Day 8: A song that's acoustic

Unlike yesterday, today I knew the song I wanted the second I saw the prompt. It is magical and yet it is the saddest song I know. I couldn't find the acoustic version that I wanted to post, so I am going to use an Eddie Vedder tribute instead.

If you want to know more about the song or the man that wrote it, I linked an article that I think captures it well.

This is a case where I wish I could have multiple options for like. Or multiple "loves." Warren Zevon is one of my favorite songwriters, and Eddie does such a wonderful version on this. Thank you.

Edit to add: and I am kind of tearing up, and I blame you.
