Lesser talked about songs

Listening to I'll Tell You Now....just thought it would be cool to discuss the songs that hardly get spoken about.

I'll Tell You Now: It's such a great lil shuffly, countrified song, and I love the ending solo.

I Want You: Can't understand what he's saying until you read the lyrics. LOL What the frick is a spartan splasher anyways?

Turn It On: The way he says the word "on" is hilarious, and total Lindsey. I didn't care for the song when I first heard OOTC, but I like it, it's got a great message.

What other songs do you like that doesn't get enough love?

When I first heard it, I was like "What is that?"

It didn't appeal to me, kind of like Time Bomb Town at first. Now that I've heard it more, it's one of my favorites.

I'd die to hear it live.

Wow, even if you were mistaken, the fact that you thought at the first listen that it was like that song is a sign to me that I must listen to it! It is one of the many that I haven't heard. I adore Harrison's "I Need You."

Anyway, there are some Lindsey tunes with FM that don't get enough love in my opinion. One that I love is "Can't Go Back." I don't want to hear the negative comments about the clown's eye line.

I think it's a great song and love the music.

YES!! I love that song and it has always been one of my all time fave Lindsey solo songs. Good choice.

Bang the Drum: Don't hear this one being talked about much. I love it. The lyrics just tear at my heart. Just a very genuine, real song.

On the Wrong Side: Another beaut. I think this could be one of Lindsey's best. Love the production. I even played it for my Mom and she said, "that song is sooo beautiful."

woot.

Most Lindsey songs are underspoken, but I'd like to hear more of

Down Endless Street

It's an absolutely beautiful song. I don't know why it's not talked about all that often.

Walk A Thin Line....It's a great song.

I really wouldn't know where to begin here, because I'm not aware of many of his songs being talked about much outside the confines of FM-related circles. I agree on everything mentioned. I love Turn It On...I never really heard George's I Need You on that...and I have been a massive fan of George since I was 10. I guess I blocked that out or something. Should probably go back and listen again.

I also love the song It Was I, which is weird because it's such a...strange song. What's up with his voice? I have no clue but the song is addictive for me. It's crazy.

I agree about Someone's Gotta Change Your Mind. That is soooooo beautiful. And Wear You Down is kind of an obsession right now.

I also agree about Walk a Thin Line. That song is gorgeous, as is Save Me a Place. Man, I really, really love his songs on Tusk.

I'm with you!

That song is just great, in my opinion. One of my favorites!

Also, as Lux said, I love "Someone's Gotta Change Your Mind." It is terrific song.

I really think "Loving Cup" is awesome. I don't think it gets the "loving" it deserves. It has a great groove to it, cool lyrics, unique sound, etc. I think it is a solo jem.

Save Me A Place doesn't get the respect it should. It should be included on every "Best of" Mac compilation.

This Is The Time

A sonic wonder. Pure Lindsey.

THATS what I'm talking about. This rarely talked about Cradle song has got to be one of Lindsey's very very very best. The song is perfection.

It already gets too much respect

But really it was one of two songs that got requested and played at Lindsey's soundstage.

And adding my own overlooked song. A Satisfied Mind is one of my favorites and I never hear it mentioned. Maybe because its a cover, but to me it's his song.
