Yay for word association!

Tuesday Tunes @ The Music Memoirs

I love doing these. :)

School: Steely Dan - My Old School

"Jessica Lange - Life on Mars (Elsa Mars)" (Watch on YouTube)

End: Traveling Wilburys - End of the Line

"Well its all right, even when push comes to shove
Well its all right, if you got someone to love
Well its all right, everything'll work out fine
Well its all right, we're going to the end of the line."

Trip: Johnny Cash - I've Been Everywhere

And so I climbed into the cab and then I settled down inside.
He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand.
And I said, "Listen, I've traveled every road in this here land!"


Letter: The Box Tops - The Letter

"Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane
ain't got time to take a fast train.
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home
my baby just wrote me a letter."

Drink: Loretta Lynn - Don't Come Home A-Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)

You tell him, Loretta!!

"But liquor and love
They just don't mix,
leave the bottle or me behind.
And don't come home a-drinkin'
with lovin' on your mind."

Relax: The Who - Relax

"Relax and settle down
Let your mind go 'round
lay down on the ground
and listen to the sound
of the band.
Hold my hand."

Age: Janis Ian - At Seventeen

This song was so me at seventeen...

"I learned the truth at seventeen,
that love was meant for beauty queens
and high school girls with clear skinned smiles
who married young and then retired.
The valentines I never knew,
the Friday night charades of youth
were spent on one more beautiful.
At seventeen I learned the truth..."

Baby: Aretha Franklin - Baby, I Love You

Stretch out your arms little boy,
you're gonna get it
'Cause I love you.
Ain't no doubt about it
Baby I love you.
I love you, I love you
I love you, baby I love you."

Find: John Lennon - I Found Out

"Now that I showed you what I been through
don't take nobody's word what you can do.
There ain't no Jesus gonna come from the sky
now that I found out I know I can cry!

I, I found out!
I, I found out!"


Symphony: Diana Ross & The Supremes - I Hear A Symphony

"Whenever you're near
I hear a symphony.
A tender melody
pulling me closer...
Closer to your arms."
