A song in two parts, not my fault Rod chooses to sing both parts together. πŸ™„πŸ˜‰ (and possibly the most 'affected' video performance ever πŸ˜†)

Day 8: A song that is a Pt 1 or Pt 2

AJR's "Turning Out" trilogy is spread out over three albums and ...it is a ride. I am going with the first one, which is much more hopeful. I enjoy Part II, but it is a little...a lot for this early in the morning. Part III is a bounce back, but worse for it. (I am sure there will be a Part 4 that is just Jack crying over an acoustic guitar and bass drum riff.)

"You say I turned out fine
I think I'm still turning out
I hope you stick around
We're gonna figure it out
Who can I turn to now?
When I'm still turning out"

"Turning Out (Part 1)," AJR

 
Day 8: A song that is a Pt1 or Pt2

My mom passed away yesterday afternoon. The last 1.5 days were very difficult and trying for her. Now she is in a much better place and in no pain.

She was 95 and born in rural Indiana in a very conservative home.

Altho I would have played James Browns Payback pts 1/2, my mom was a (sort of) religious woman. So this feels much more fitting. Justin Hinds did many ska, rocksteady and reggae interpretations of many spirituals.

Justin Hinds and The Dominoes - Mighty Redeemer Pt1. (1971). Love this old scratchy version from a record.

Sorry to hear that, a great music choice. Take care.
 
Day 8 A Song that is a Pt 1 or Pt 2

Made for Each Other (MFEO) pt 1 - Made for Each Other pt 2 - You Can Breathe


You barely notice on the record that it's 2 different songs because of the way the thing flows together. But when the piano transition happens around 2:23, you can feel the tonal change. There's something very beautiful about these two songs and the way they fit together.

Thank you for sharing this. I echo what others before me have already said. Although recent times have obviously been painful, it sounds as though you have lots of lovely and loving memories.

Thank all of you guys for your kind words, thoughts, messages, condolences and virtual hugs.

Appreciate it. My moms lived a super long and full life.

(I think I missed a few, but multi quote gets wonky on my cell phone) thanks all!
