R.E.M. - "Nightswimming" Might not notice it at first listen but this song is the singer's rememberings of old times when he could go nightswimming
The Last Rose Of Summer Nina Simone. There are dozens of versions of this obviously, but Nina's is sublime. 'tis the last rose of summer, left blooming all alone All her lovely companions are faded and gone. No flower of her kindred, no rose bud is nigh To reflect back her blushes and give sigh for sigh. I'll not leave thee, thou lone one! to pine on the stem Since the lovely are sleeping, go sleep thou with them 'thus kindly I scatter thy leaves o'er the bed Where thy mates of the garden lie scentless and dead. So soon may I follow, when friendships decay And from love's shining circle the gems drop away When true hearts lie wither'd and fond ones are flown Oh! who would inhabit this bleak world alone!
Yeah, he does I Wanna Go Back real justice. The original is excellent too. Billy Satellite should have been huge.
Actually, every track on the "September Of My Years" album fits the thread topic. Plus, it's one of Frank's best albums....
Thanks for the heads up. I need to get this album. I may have only heard a few other tracks here and there in isolation.
So many versions. This one's my fav. "(There's) Always Something There To Remind Me" - Jose Feliciano 1968
