This series will include as many of my all-time
favorite (ATF) tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak). Now, each one included in each edition will
have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination,
but they will not be numbered. For I
just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others. So, this will not be a countdown, but if you
are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter. Besides, with no countdown, this could go on
forever and ever! Oh, and despite the
fact that there is absolutely no way your musical tastes could be as exquisite
as mine, I welcome any suggestions you might dare to make. For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by
nature.

Seven Year Ache
Rosanne Cash
You act like you were just born tonight
Face down in a memory but feeling all right
So who does your past belong to today
Baby you don't say nothing when you're feeling this way
Girls in the bars thinking who is this guy
But they don't think nothing when they're telling you
lies
You look so careless when they're shooting that bull
Don't you know heartaches are heroes when their pockets
are full
Tell me you're trying to cure a seven year ache
See what else your old heart can take
Boys say, when is he gonna give us some room
The girls say God I hope he comes back soon
And everybody's talking but you don't hear a thing
You're still uptown on your downhill swing
Boulevard's empty why don't you come around
Baby what is so great about sleeping downtown
There's plenty of dives to be someone you're not
Just say you're looking for something you might have
forgot
Don't bother calling to say you're leaving alone
'Cause there's a fool on every corner when you're
trying to get home
Just tell 'em you’re trying to cure a seven year ache
See what else your old heart can take
Boys say when is he gonna give us some room
The girls say God I hope he comes back soon
Tell me you're trying to cure a seven year ache
See what else your old heart can take
Boys say when is he gonna give us some room
The girls say God I hope he comes back soon

He’s a Heartache
(Lookin’ for a Place to Happen)
Janie Fricke
Well you can't deny how good he looks
Couldn't find another on the cover of a book
Believe me
Well I've almost loved him once or twice
But don't be fooled by his innocent smile
He's clever as the devil and just as wild
He's crazy
But a little crazy's kinda nice
He's a heartache
Looking for a place to happen
Looking for a little action
Living for the moment
Not for loving
He's a heartache
Looking for a place to happen
Temporary satisfaction
If you try to hold on
He's gone
Well I might as well tell someone else
I know I'll never have him to myself
Not likely
But I wouldn't mind just one more night
If he wants to hold you
Let it be
Don't pass up the opportunity
To know him
You won't forget him all your life
But whatever you do be wise enough
Not to fall in love
‘Cause he's a heartache
Looking for a place to happen
Looking for a little action
Living for the moment
Not for loving
He's a heartache
Looking for a place to happen
Temporary satisfaction
If you try to hold on
He's gone
But whatever you do be wise enough
Not to fall in love
‘Cause he's a heartache
Looking for a place to happen
Looking for a little action
Living for the moment
Not for loving
He's a heartache
Looking for a place to happen
Temporary satisfaction
If you try to hold on
He's gone
Yes he's a heartache
Looking for a place to happen
Looking for a little action
Living for the moment
Not for loving…

Again don't know them but I like Rosanne Cash. My favourites from the past are
ReplyDeleteEric Clapton, Supertramp, Dire Straits, U2, Santana, Billy Joel and Leonard Cohen to name a few
Thanks for stopping by, my dear Marja!!! I have had at least one from each in this series so far--except for U2, which may be in here later on.
DeleteLiked the Rosanne Cash number very much; could happily avoid the Janie Fricke thing - a bit too C&W for me!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Mike!!! Rosanne's is actually considered much more traditional county than Janie's. I was really surprised to find that Janie had been on Solid Gold, which was (I thought) strictly Top 40 pop/rock back then.
DeleteIf he's a heartache is he the one responsible for the seven year ache?
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Ann!!! Yep, methinks you have it figured out.
DeleteI also like Rosanne Cash.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Stephen!!! I also really like her Tennessee Flat Top Box, but it probably won't be included in this series.
DeleteSome good old country! Love it! :)
ReplyDeletethanks for stopping by, my dear Lee!!! Alas, I must be getting older than I think. For it is hard for me to accept that those songs have been out over 30 years now.
