In general, I'm not usually a country music fan but I liked this! I hadn't heard it before. And I like the instrumentals / rhythms background through the whole song, too. Sad song.
Funny -- I say that in general I'm not much of a country fan - - but I consider Bobbie Gentry's "Ode to Billie Joe" the best song I've ever heard. I love all her other stuff, too.
And I'm a huge fan of Dwight Yoakam. (I read a day or so ago that he just got married.)
And, for me, Patsy Cline has the best singing voice I've yet to hear.
:)
Somehow, maybe I like country music more than I think I do. :)
This came off of Brooks and Dunn's first album. They are great writers. I'm not generally a country music fan but like it more as I get older. I'm listening to a George Strait album now on Youtube.
Wow! Their first album! This may be my favorite song I've heard from them! For some unknown reason I figured it may have been a really recent song or something.
Have you seen the many posts I've 'posted' about this song? If not, I always say the same thing -- for me, this song is "The Best Song I've Ever Heard."
Everything -- everything - - about this song is perfect to me. :) :)
I keep saying it, I know -- but this is Number One Best Song Ever for me! I'm very pleasantly surprised that you answered with "Ode to Billie Joe"! :)
Even though I like The Beatles, too, I admit that I get a huge kick out of their songs when "The Chipmunks" sing them, ha! My siblings and I had a Chipmunks album growing up where they sang Beatles' songs. :)
By far, my favorite Beatles song is "Come Together." :)
I thought I'd share this before I run off again- - but for a long time I kept hearing this song on the radio by chance, never knowing who sang it but always loving it. And I knew it wasn't by The Beatles but it has a Beatles sound to it for me. I recently found out the song is "Ordinary World" by Duran Duran. I love it. :)
Oh, my -- this is nice! Never heard it before. And I don't think I've ever seen Armatrading before - - either a picture or performing. Gosh - I swear I wonder what's up with me sometimes. I certainly know her name. But I know I've never known what she's looked like. I don't know why.
This song in wonderful to me at this moment. I love her understated performance and style -- makes it all the more powerful to me. Wow. I loved watching that and listening.
I agree with Ismael. I don’t believe anyone who considers himself or herself a music lover could answer this by naming one particular song that fits this bill. In my case alone, it’s 100% impossible to do, because every song that I like makes me think, “This is such a good song.” If it’s not a good song in my opinion, I wouldn’t like it, and if I do t like it, I won’t think it’s a good song. Catch 22.
You're not alone -- Randy D agrees with you and I can see why -- I was unclear with my word choice in my question and even unclear in my added description up there in the box -- I meant to mean -- 'Even though we like a lot of songs, do certain songs 'stick out in your mind as particularly good?' " To me, my added description in that box up there made sense at the time. I can see why it doesn't. Sorry for the confusion. :)
Welby, my friend, I don’t believe anyone who considers himself or herself a music lover could answer this by naming one particular song that fits this bill.

And I realize this is the same reply that I wrote to CallMeIshameal, other than respectively changing your names, but you both brought up similar points. :)

So, is Mercury the only singer in all of their songs? And he just sings all the parts separately in the studio and they mix them altogether to sound like more than one singer? If so, I am an effin idiot and have been my entire life.
Don't worry, though - - it's OK if that is the truth about all the tight vocal harmonies on Queen songs. I can handle it. I've always assumed it was all of them singing.
And maybe I'm assuming the wrong thing anyway -- I saw somewhere where it said this was only Mercury's vocals or something.
