Save Tonight – Eagle-Eye Cherry

By DJ Allyn on March 15, 2010 at 12:01 am

Save Tonight – Eagle-Eye Cherry  


Eagle-Eye Cherry is a Swedish musician. He is the son of jazz artist, Don Cherry, and half brother of singer Neneh Cherry.

Cherry was christened Eagle-Eye because the first time he looked at his father, he did so with only one eye open. As children, Eagle-Eye and his older sister Neneh spent months on the road with their father, the trumpeter Don Cherry. At the age of 12, Cherry was sent to school in New York, where he stayed on to work as an actor, and a drummer in various bands. In 1988, he was credited as “teenager” in the film Arthur 2: On the Rocks. In 1993 he starred on the short lived NBC action/adventure television show South Beach.

His father died in 1995, and in 1996 he returned to Sweden to begin writing and making his debut album, Desireless, which became a commercial success throughout the world during 1998 and 1999.

Save Tonight

Go on and close the curtains
‘Cause all we need is candlelight
You and me … and the bottle of wine
And hold you tonight [ ohh ]

Well we know I’m going away
And how i wish – i wish it weren’t so
So take this wine and drink with me
Let’s delay our misery

Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow – tomorrow I’ll be gone
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow – tomorrow I’ll be gone

There’s a log on the fire
And it burns like me for you
Tomorrow comes with one desire
To take me away [ ohh it's true ]

It ain’t easy to say good bye
Darling please – don’t start to cry
‘Cause girl you know I’ve got to go [ohh ]
And Lord i wish it wasn’t so

Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow – tomorrow I’ll be gone
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow – tomorrow I’ll be gone

Tomorrow comes to take me away
I wish that i – that i could stay
But girl you know I’ve got to go [ohh ]
and Lord i wish wasn’t so

Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow – tomorrow I’ll be gone
Come tomorrow – tomorrow I’ll be gone
Come tomorrow – tomorrow I’ll be gone
Come tomorrow – tomorrow I’ll be gone

Tomorrow I’ll be gone
Tomorrow I’ll be gone
Tomorrow I’ll be gone
Tomorrow I’ll be gone

Save tonight
Save tonight
Save tonight
Save tonight
Oh that’s right
Save tonight – save tonight

Those Were The Days – Cream

By DJ Allyn on March 13, 2010 at 12:01 am

Those Were The Days – Cream  


Cream were a 1960s British rock band consisting of bassist/lead vocalist Jack Bruce, guitarist/vocalist Eric Clapton, and drummer Ginger Baker. Their sound was characterised by a hybrid of blues, hard rock and psychedelic rock. Retrospectively determined to be “the first supergroup”, Cream combined Clapton’s blues guitar playing with the powerful voice and intense basslines of Jack Bruce and the jazz-influenced drumming of Ginger Baker.

Cream’s music included songs based on traditional blues such as “Crossroads” and “Spoonful”, and modern blues such as “Born Under a Bad Sign”, as well as more eccentric songs such as “Strange Brew”, “Tales of Brave Ulysses” and “Toad”. Cream’s biggest hits were “I Feel Free”, “Sunshine of Your Love”, “White Room”, “Crossroads”, and “Badge”.

Cream, together with The Jimi Hendrix Experience, made a significant impact upon the popular music of the time, providing a heavy yet technically proficient musical theme that foreshadowed the emergence of bands such as Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and The Jeff Beck Group in the late 1960s. The band’s live performances influenced progressive rock acts such as Rush, and jam bands such as The Allman Brothers Band, Grateful Dead and Phish, and heavy metal bands such as Black Sabbath.

Those Were The Days

http://djallyn.org/media/cream-those-were-the-days.flv

When the city of atlantis
Stood serene above the sea
Long time before our time
When the world was free
Those were the days

Golden symbols flying
On ocarina sounds
Before wild medusa’s serpents
Gave birth to hell
Disguised as heaven

Those were the days
(yes they were)
Those were the days
Those were the ways
Miracles everywhere where are they now?
(they’re gone)

Those were the ways
(yes they were)
Those were the ways
Those were the days
(yes they were)
Those were the days

Tie your painted shoes and dance
Blue daylight in your hair
Overhead a noiseless eagle fans a flame
(finally)
Wonder everywhere

Those were the days
(yes they were)
Those were the days
Those were the ways
Miracles everywhere where are they now?
(they’re gone)

Those were the ways
(yes they were)
Those were the ways
Those were the days
(yes they were)
Those were the days

So Into You – Atlanta Rhythm Section

By DJ Allyn on March 12, 2010 at 12:01 am

So Into You – Atlanta Rhythm Section  


Atlanta Rhythm Section is an American southern rock band. The band unofficially formed in 1970 as former members of the Candymen and the Classics IV became the session band for the newly opened Studio One in Doraville, Georgia.

The story of the Atlanta Rhythm Section began in Doraville, Georgia, a small town northeast of Atlanta, in 1970. Local Atlanta engineer Rodney Mills built a new studio in Doraville with the support of music publisher Bill Lowery, producer/songwriter/manager Buddy Buie, and songwriter/guitarist J.R. Cobb. The studio was dubbed Studio One and would become one of the preeminent studios in the Atlanta area. Over the years, artists who recorded there included Al Kooper, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Joe South, Bonnie Bramlett, Dickey Betts, B.J. Thomas and Billy Joe Royal.

The Atlanta Rhythm Section originally came together as the house band at Studio One. Buie recruited three musicians he had worked with previously in the Candymen (a group that had backed Roy Orbison), singer Rodney Justo, keyboardist Dean Daughtry and drummer Robert Nix. Buie, Cobb and Daughtry had been part of the group the Classics IV – remembered for such hits as “Spooky”, “Stormy” and “Traces”. Two talented local session players also joined in – guitarist Barry Bailey and bassist Paul Goddard. These musicians played on a number of other artists’ records and the decision was made to make an album of their own in 1971.

So Into You

http://djallyn.org/media/atlanta-rhythm-section-so-into-you.flv

When you walked into the room
There was voodoo in the vibes
I was captured by your style
But I could not catch your eyes
Now I stand here helplessly
Hoping you’ll get into me

I am so into you
I can’t think of nothing else
I am so into you
I can’t think of nothing else

Thinking how it’s going to be
Whenever I get you next to me
It’s gonna be good, dont you know
From your head to your toe
Gonna love you all over, over and over
Me into you, you into me, me into you

I am so into you
I am so into you, ooh

When you walked into the room
There was voodoo in the vibes
I was captured by your style
But I could not catch your eyes
Now I stand here helplessly
Hoping you’ll get into me

I am so into you
I can’t get to nothing else
I am so into you baby
I can’t get to nothing else
No no no come on baby
I am so into you
Love the things you do

Listen baby
Driving me crazy, oooh
Come on baby, oo-ooh
I am so into you
Love the things you do
Come on baby
I am so into you
I am so into you
I am so into you

Infecting The Crypts – Suffocation

By DJ Allyn on March 11, 2010 at 12:01 am

Infecting The Crypts – Suffocation  


Suffocation is an American death metal band that was formed in 1989 in Long Island, New York. The band comprises vocalist Frank Mullen, guitarists Terrance Hobbs and Guy Marchais, drummer Mike Smith and bassist Derek Boyer. Suffocation rose to prominence of death metal and created a blueprint for the genre for the 1990s with their 1991 debut album Effigy of the Forgotten and released six studio albums since its formation.

The band’s grindcore-influenced technical death metal style uses guttural vocals with a bottom-heavy guitar sound; complex, fast guitar riffs and drumming, and “sophisticated” sense of songwriting.

Suffocation was formed in 1989 in Long Island, New York, comprising vocalist Frank Mullen, guitarists Terrance Hobbs and Doug Cerrito, bassist Chris Richards, and drummer Mike Smith.  Smith left the band in 1993 and was replaced by Doug Bohn. In 1998, Suffocation disbanded and reformed in 2003 with Smith again.

Suffocation’s technical death metal style is influenced by grindcore. The band uses

“outrageously guttural vocals with a bottom-heavy guitar foundation, [...] blistering speed, unparalleled brutality and [...] sophisticated sense of songwriting, complex time changes and lead and rhythm guitar acrobatics”. - Allmusic

With their debut album, Effigy of the Forgotten, Suffocation rose to prominence of death metal and created a blueprint for the genre for the 1990s, retaining their typical style after the reunion in 2000’s. According to Allmusic, Mullen is one of the best vocalists in the genre.

Infecting The Crypts

http://djallyn.org/media/Suffocation-_Infecting_The_Crypts.flv

Exhume the wretched body from its timeless slumber
Thrashing the tomb to reveal what’s inside
A maggot-infected corpse stares dismal
Inhabited by worms chewing holes through your carcass

These ancient lands beckoned the burial of humans
The unfertile soil infecting the crypts
Of the once deceased bodies not through decomposure
Ending their peace, their chances of hell

A vomit-type substance is formed from its innards
A festering slime that revels inside

The substance erupts and the stomach bursts open
Forced down your throat to regurgitate life

Audio from the 1991 album, Effigy Forgotten:
