A Song for Everything

[PicassosPleasure]

I didn't catch that it was 'age restricted'. It's Pearl Jam's "Jeremy".

It wasn't the age restriction. This is Lit. after all. It was the suicide and self harm content I wasn't in the mood for is all.

I watched it because I had heard of Jeremy but never listened to it. I'm not a PJ fan either, not that I dislike them but I don't like them either. They just "are" in my music universe.

The video was good as a PJ neophyte because it had lyric subtitles and the images were good. Yes it was disturbing. But I then read the background, found out that it was based on a true story, a teen named Jeremy who shot himself in school. He had been bullied, he was troubled. A tragedy all around. I'm glad I watched it and read about it, and thanks to @ZfrkS62 for posting it.

Wanted

Getting back on track, a song about a wanted man.

RIP Dickey Betts

How about an ABB instrumental?

How about an ABB instrumental?

That would have to be "Jessica."

Song about a girl by name

That would be Elizabeth Reed

In prison

In prison

Dreaming about the green green grass of home.

Thinking about home

Thinking about home

Raising your children

Cool song. Why have I never heard it before?

Leaving work

 

[UnquietDreams]

Cool song. Why have I never heard it before?

It hit the top 40 in the really early 70s. I remember hearing it on AM radio as a kid. And I just heard it a couple of weeks ago on the "American Top 40 replay," which I listen to to catch songs like that which I have forgotten. (Also to remind me that pop music in the 70s and 80s had a lot of stinkers as well. Nostalgia ears, heh.)

Leaving work

Here's one way to leave work.

Bosses (good or bad)

Bosses (good or bad)

The boss don’t dig me so he put me on the night shift

In the wee, wee hours

 

[PicassosPleasure]

In the wee, wee hours

This is appropriate for a Friday night on Lit.

I'm yours or You're mine

 

[DirkCamacho]

I'm yours or You're mine

This Israeli folk song translates to "I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine." It is a wedding song, and there's a folk dance that goes with it.

Love song in language other than English

 

[PicassosPleasure]

Love song in language other than English

Sounds like a task for Andrea Bocelli.

Italian song sung in English

Italian song sung in English

This is a toughie, so I'm posting a song that's in both Italian and English.

Goodnight

 

[PicassosPleasure]

Goodnight

I've posted my memory packed "Goodnight Irene" before so I went with something 8've never heard before. This is my first, and possibly my last, Jonas Brothers song.

Goodbye

I'm not aPJ fan by any means either. Coming of age in the 90s in the Seattle area, I couldn't get away from them. Personally I think they're a bit overrated. They're singles are akin to the trailers of action movies that essentially show the whole movie in 30 seconds.

Goodbye

Gone again

 

[PicassosPleasure]

Gone again

A lot to choose from, but I'm going with Otis Redding.

Soccer (football)

Soccer (football)

Ditched my lecture, to watch the girls play soccer


Pool (billiards, snooker, etc)

 

[PicassosPleasure]

Pool (billiards, snooker, etc)

I posted "Rack 'em Up" last time, so I'll go with "The Snooker Song" this time.

Baseball
