This song is over 25 years old that had in my collection but never noticed I had. It can be perceived and written as a song about lost love, lost relationships or what drove the writing of the song. Two close friends of vocalist Phillip A. one committed suicide and his other friend also ended his life following the other. The band helped in the writing of the song, not in a way of speaking suicidal death but more to the end of a relationship in love or the end of a friendship. The song hit me over the summer as it spoke to me as I had a long lost love relationship.....the words came through perfectly about me.
Here's a cover of the song then I'll try to post the that's real....PANTERA......Cemetary Gates
Reverend, Reverend is this some conspiracy? Crucified for no sins An image beneath me Whats within our plans for life It all seems so unreal I'm a man couldn't have feel this world Left in my misery
The Reverend he turned to me Without a tear in his eyes It's nothing new for him to see I didn't ask him why I will remember The love our souls had Sworn to make Now I watch the falling rain All my mind can see Now is your (face)
Well I guess You took my youth I gave it all away Like the birth of a New-found joy This love would end in rage And when she died I couldn't cry The pride within my soul You left me incomplete Overload as the memories now unfold.
Believe the word I will unlock my door And pass the Cemetery gates
Sometimes when I'm alone I wonder aloud If you're watching over me Some place far abound I must reverse my life I can't live in the past Then set my soul free Belongs to me at last
Through all those Complex years I thought I was alone I didn't care to look around And make this world my own And when she died I should've cried and spared myself some pain Left me incomplete All alone as the memories still remain
The way we were The chance to save my soul And my concern is now in vain Believe the word I will unlock my door And pass the cemetery gates
The way we were The chance to save my soul And my concern is now in vain Believe the word I will unlock my door And pass the cemetery gates

So a crazy thing happened about 14 years ago. My favorite local small town bar that I frequent has some really good bands during the summer. One of the bartenders here used to work in a Chicago bar and booked bands there. Now he works here in our small lakeside town, he was able to get some pretty good, better than average talent to come up from Chicago to our local bar here. So back in the mid-nineties there was a song I heard on MTV just twice called Lack of Water by The Why Store. I liked it but I only heard it twice and then totally forgot about it. Fast forward to 2003, there's a band on the events calendar called Chris Shaffer, my buddy who books the bands said the week before hey, don't miss Chris Shaffer, you like this one. And I did not know that Chris Shaffer was the lead singer/songwriter of the Why Store at the time. So the band starts up and plays a really good first set. This is not a cover band, this is original stuff. I didn't know any of the songs I just liked them all though & thought damn, these guys are good!. Weird funky and psychedelic, and some rockers. At the start of the second set the singer Chris Shaffer says here's my one song that was on the charts for a while Lack of Water. And then all of a sudden it dawned on me this must be the guy from the Why Store which I'd only heard on MTV twice and forgot about. I went and asked my buddy who books the bands and he said yep that's Chris from The Why Store. Just an incredible 3 hours set and then my buddy invited me to the after bar. Chris likes tequila. So had some tequila & smoked part of a J with these guys it was just a pretty damn fun night. He doesn't tour much at all anymore everytime I look at the schedule that's all in and around Indianapolis. Went and saw them down at the House of Blues in Chicago about 2005, and that's it. Give this video a 45 minute trial see if you dig it. Cheers!
Just got this guy's two albums in the mail today. Beautiful and soulful, snap a beer open, light up & it's even better. Tell Me A Tale Michael Kiwanuka https://youtu.be/kviZeUcjjBk
This is the lounge car at its best. I am dumbfounded because the only song I've ever heard of hers was the one that's played on the radio once in awhile about rehab. And I don't like that song because I wish that she would've gotten sufficient help and lived. I wish that people like her would know somehow that there are people like us out here, who do care, and would loved to have helped in anyway possible if only we could have. But that's all I knew of her. But dammit, she is really good. I'll have to look into her material now and maybe get some of it. Thanks for that hedonist.... I feel like this is a good place for the Obscure music & old favorites. Stuff that most of us haven't heard but should hear. I posted this one earlier but I don't know if I got overlooked because it's above the fold. This is a friend of mine named Mike Himebaugh, and to continue The Melancholy mood that you've got going here I will post this. It's very slow not catchy. This guy just has a higher octave than most of what I listen to. He sings like a bird. But if you listen to Easy River a few times it will begin to pull at your heart strings a bit. It's about starting life having drawn the short straw before you even know your alive. Learning how to go with the flow and persevere. Like most good music, it takes a few listens before it starts to grow on you. Easy River https://youtu.be/AwitNLlXA2A & I can't help myself. Here is one more that will lighten the mood. Called Running Home. There is just to much shit going on in the world. Music is still the most healing art form as Jeff Ament pointed out. Alright...

And here's a song called Movie Star This is a Great Jam band from Chicago called Mr Blotto https://youtu.be/cTJXwpMRDDo This song is extremely groovy & haunting at the same time. This song requires headphones (so you can better hear the exquisite drums and bass and instruments), & 2 drinks & a smoke, because it's a 12 minute jam. The song came out on the Mr Blotto album Cabbages & Kings in 2001. But of course live it's much better It goes like this. sad Mardi Gras we have made confetti of the law you see it all laissez fair is written on your wall take a while with me, and you will see I'm living like a movie star mad Carnival the writing on the wall is pure Brazilian you see it all washing off your feet with sweat of millions stopped to catch your breath, the night has died the death just like a movie star (Halftime) hey movie star how the devil do you keep from waking? I know you are Waltzing through a life you're only faking, watch me turn my back and fade into the black just like a movie star
And what ever happened to this girl? Rockferry is a spectacular album and to my knowledge she hasn't put out much of anything since. But I saw her on Austin City Limits a few years ago, and holy moly, she's freaky good... Duffy-Rockferry. She's pretty amazing! https://youtu.be/IDwnbP9NFY8 I did some reading and found out that her first album Rockferry 2008 was wildly successful, her second album Endless 2010, tanked, So she's been on Hiatus ever since. I think she should try again.

Alright, I'm done being pissed off about guns and anthems. Time for the fine voices of these two to ease me through the night. Excited to be seeing them again in January.
Here is a pretty good Waylon interview from Australia that just popped up after I was watching your David Bowie song. I have never seen this before today. https://youtu.be/u7TMadG7Cas
Back when I was 13/14 I can remember buying my mom this next song for my mother's birthday 4/20. I can recall the purple and white label on that 45 record, 8 tracks were too hard to find even though she had a player for them. She liked and STILL likes that old school stuff. I have to say I liked some of it as well....

Crucified for no sins
An image beneath me
Whats within our plans for life
It all seems so unreal
I'm a man couldn't have feel this world
Left in my misery
The Reverend he turned to me
Without a tear in his eyes
It's nothing new for him to see
I didn't ask him why
I will remember
The love our souls had
Sworn to make
Now I watch the falling rain
All my mind can see
Now is your (face)
Well I guess
You took my youth
I gave it all away
Like the birth of a
New-found joy
This love would end in rage
And when she died
I couldn't cry
The pride within my soul
You left me incomplete
Overload as the memories now unfold.
Believe the word
I will unlock my door
And pass the
Cemetery gates
Sometimes when I'm alone
I wonder aloud
If you're watching over me
Some place far abound
I must reverse my life
I can't live in the past
Then set my soul free
Belongs to me at last
Through all those
Complex years
I thought I was alone
I didn't care to look around
And make this world my own
And when she died
I should've cried and spared myself some pain
Left me incomplete
All alone as the memories still remain
The way we were
The chance to save my soul
And my concern is now in vain
Believe the word
I will unlock my door
And pass the cemetery gates
The way we were
The chance to save my soul
And my concern is now in vain
Believe the word
I will unlock my door
And pass the cemetery gates

It goes like this.
sad Mardi Gras
we have made confetti of the law
you see it all
laissez fair is written on your wall
take a while with me,
and you will see
I'm living like a movie star
mad Carnival
the writing on the wall
is pure Brazilian
you see it all
washing off your feet
with sweat of millions
stopped to catch your breath,
the night has died the death
just like a movie star
(Halftime)
hey movie star
how the devil do you keep from waking?
I know you are
Waltzing through a life
you're only faking,
watch me turn my back
and fade into the black
just like a movie star

Seen her 3 times. I wish she would put out some new material. She is fantastic.

Loving her was easier than anything I'll ever do again.
Lit the piano on fire while playing on stage. That would have been neat to see.
