Weekend Music (FNM): Love and Valentine's

last year

last modified: last year

This weekend's theme is LOVE and Valentine's Day

There should be some Burt Bacharach songs to post as well.

Since there are so many songs about love, you can pick your favorites. This list is not intended to be all inclusive, but I did want to have this theme for Valentine's Day, next week.

I'm starting with Neil Sedaka

who wrote this song and released it in 1973.

This version came out two years late.

Week-end music (FNM): Easter & Passover
Q

I like many/all the songs above, but theme is Easter & Passover and the songs I want to post are from my church as a child and my church now. So if you don't want to see anything with a religious tone, skip now. I'm posting links, not videos, to reinforce that I'm NOT pushing my thoughts/feelings and especially not my beliefs on anyone else, just sharing music that means "Easter" to me. They happen to be hymns because that's my heritage. Thanks for understanding, and please enjoy (or skip) if/as you care to. Ride On, Ride On in Majesty! - nicely harmonized, one man recorded multiple times, fun video. Go to Dark Gethsemane - simple voice, barely there guitar, profound and lovely. The Strife is O'er - this will be the recessional hymn on Sunday. Our organist will pull out all the stops, wanting us to sing joyfully. LOL we're Lutherans, we don't *do* emotions in public -- but she'll try anyway. I like this video, how it brings together so many individuals into one song.

Roxy Music For Your Pleasure I saw Roxy Music at the Greek Theater in Berkeley, May 7, 1983 and had to take BART to get there from San Francisco, where I lived at the time. Fortunately at that time I lived only about three blocks from a BART station.

Cream's epic song, Sunshine of Your Love. Thousands of songs with "love" in the title, none better than this for my taste. Their emergence and short time together showed the music world that a band of only 3, when composed of extremely talented members, could meld together to produce a full sound needing no more musicians. It's been 18 years since this performance, their reunion in 2005. Both Baker and Bruce are gone, only Claption remains alive.

There are tons of songs about "Love" which is perhaps why I did not use it as a theme before.

This song in 1984 I played over and over. My Dad had just died, my Grandma died, my 17 year old dog died and life changed. This song means a lot to me

I believe this is the original version of Love Potion #9

For some reason I thought it was The Coasters, but their version does not sound like what I remember, but The Clovers' version does. I guess I got Clovers and Coasters mixed up!

Never heard that version until now - I feel like that song was written for her voice 😊

Here's the one I know - and I still have the record too. This version has the full intro:

And thought of this one - a more negative take on love, also by Rodgers, this time with Hammerstein - originally in Flower Drum Song, and sung by Leslie Odom Jr.
