It's All About The New Music Orgy:

On a happier note, I did find Seatrain....uh...ahem...on the internet. I have no idea what these lyrics mean, but what a great song. Shades of Chicago with the horns and keys, and that "wancka wanck" guitar-synth (?) that was popular for a while in the 70's.

"Did you see
the moon last night,
Hung like a Chinese ball?
You should have seen
the moon last night
At the party of us all"

Annnnyway,

After repeated listens to the new Norah Jones, Indigo Girls, Sarah McLachlan, and Melissa Etheridge, I have to say I'm groovin' to all the new tunes. (Shawn? Chapin? Are you out there?) The winner of these four at the moment is Sarah: "Fallen", "Stupid" and "Perfect Girl" strike a deep chord to my "personal" situation. (What situation? ha ha)

The Indigo's and Melissa have a few stand-out songs- I think I need to listen a few more times, but I'm not hearing the standard of songwriting that I had become accustomed to with these guys. And Norah- I love her, but the country bit grew tiring fast. It was interesting at first, but not what I like about her.

Still, I love having new tunes. I have become musically stunted since I left the business. Just don't hear the good stuff anymore.
