In the Spirit of Things is
the eleventh studio album by American rock band Kansas, released in 1988 (see 1988
in music). It is a very loosely organized concept album telling the story of a flood
hitting the real Kansas city of Neosho Falls in 1951. It is the first Kansas
album since 1975's Masque to lack a hit single.
"Stand Beside Me" is a song written by Stephen Allen Davis, and recorded by American country music singer Jo Dee
Messina. It was released
in October 1998 as the third single from her album I'm Alright. The song spent three weeks at the top of the Hot Country Singles & Tracks(now Hot Country
Songs) chart, making
Messina the first female artist to score three multi-week Number One singles
from one album.
"Private
Universe" is a 1993 song by rock group Crowded House from the group's
fourth studio album Together Alone. It was released as a single in Australia in
October 1994. The single peaked at #46 on the Australian ARIA singles chart in
January 1995, and spent 14 weeks in the top 100.
"Private
Universe" is the only song to be featured on all of Crowded House's
compilation and live albums (including the greatest hits compilation Recurring
Dream, an acoustic mix version on the rarities compilation Afterglow, and on
both live albums Special Edition Live Album and Farewell to the World).
"Year of the Cat"
is a single by Scottish singer-songwriter Al Stewart, released in July 1976.
The song is the title track of his 1976 album Year of the Cat, and was recorded
at Abbey Road Studios, London in January 1976 by engineer Alan Parsons. The
song reached #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 in March 1977. Although Stewart's
highest charting single on that chart was 1978's "Time Passages", "Year
of the Cat" has remained Stewart's signature recording, receiving regular airplay
on both classic rock and folk rock stations.
On a morning from a Bogart movie
In a country where they turn back time
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
Contemplating a crime
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
Like a watercolor in the rain
Don't bother asking for explanations
She'll just tell you that she came
In the year of the cat
She doesn't give you time for questions
As she locks up your arm in hers
And you follow till your sense of which direction
Completely disappears
By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls
There's a hidden door she leads you to
These days, she says, "I feel my life
Just like a river running through"
The year of the cat
Well, she looks at you so coolly
And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea
She comes in incense and patchouli
So you take her, to find what's waiting inside
The year of the cat
Well morning comes and you're still with her
And the bus and the tourists are gone
And you've thrown away your choice and lost your ticket
"Lotta Love" is
a song written and recorded by Neil Young and released on his 1978 Comes a Time
album. "Lotta Love" was also covered by Nicolette Larson in 1978.
Larson's version reached No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and No. 8 on the Cash
Box Top 100 in February 1979. It also hit No. 1 on the Easy Listening chart and
was a hit in Australia (No. 11) and New Zealand (No. 22).
Nicolette Larson (July 17,
1952 – December 16, 1997) was an American pop singer. She is perhaps best known
for her work in the late 1970s with Neil Young and her 1978 hit single of Neil
Young's "Lotta Love," which hit No. 1 on the Hot Adult
Contemporary Tracks chart and No. 8 on the Pop Singles chart. It was followed
by four more adult contemporary hits, two of which were also minor pop hits.
By 1985, she shifted her
focus to country music, charting six times on the US Country Singles chart. Her
only top-40 country hit was "That's How You Know When Love's Right",
a duet with Steve Wariner. She died in 1997 of cerebral edema and liver failure.
"Clair" is a
popular song by Irish singer-songwriter Gilbert O'Sullivan and is one of his
biggest-selling singles. Written by O'Sullivan and produced by Gordon Mills, it
was the number one single in the UK Singles Chart for two weeks in November
1972, number one in Canada on the RPM 100 national singles chart the following
January, and peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US. It was
also O'Sullivan's second and last number one hit on the U.S. Easy Listening chart,
after "Alone Again (Naturally)".
The song is the love song of
a close family friend who babysits a young girl (actually the artist's
manager's daughter), though for the first part of the song, the ambiguous text
leads one to think that it is from one adult to another. The brief instrumental
introduction is the sound of O'Sullivan whistling, before he comes in. The
real Clair was the three-year-old daughter of O'Sullivan's producer-manager, Gordon
Mills, and his wife, the model Jo Waring. The little girl's giggling is heard at the end of this
song. The "Uncle Ray" mentioned in the song is O'Sullivan himself, a
reference to his real name of Raymond O'Sullivan. The instrumental
break in the middle section is done half a step up from A to B-Flat, before
going back to A.
"Clair" was
included in O'Sullivan's álbum Back to Front (1972). An Italian version was
performed in 1973 by the crooner Johnny Dorelli. A cover by Singers Unlimited was
sampled by producer J Dilla for the Slum Village song "Players".
Luxury Liner is an album by
country music artist Emmylou Harris, released in 1976. The album was Harris'
second successive #1 country album on the Billboard Music Charts, although,
unlike the preceding Elite Hotel, there were no #1 hits from this album. The
highest charting singles were the #6 Chuck Berry cover "(You Never Can
Tell) C'est la Vie" and the #8 "Making Believe" (originally a
hit for Kitty Wells). However, the album may be better known for including the
first cover version of Townes Van Zandt's 1972 song "Pancho and Lefty",
which subsequently became Van Zandt's best-known composition.
Emmylou Harris (born April
2, 1947) is an American singer, songwriter and musician. She has released many
popular albums and singles over the course of her career, and she has won 14 Grammys,
the Polar Music Prize, and numerous other honors, including induction into the Country
Music Hall of Fame. In 2018 she was presented the Grammy Lifetime Achievement
Award.
The Mamas & The Papas
Deliver is the third album by The Mamas & the Papas, released in 1967. It
charted at #2 in Billboard's "Top Pop" albums for 1967. Three of the
album's singles ranked in the "Pop Singles" chart: "Dedicated to
the One I Love" at #2, "Creeque Alley" at #5 and "Look
Through My Window" at #24.
The album was first issued
on CD in 1988 (MCAD-31044) and is included in its entirety on All the Leaves
Are Brown, a retrospective compilation of the band's first four albums and
various singles.
The album's title was an in-joke among the group, as
recording commenced shortly after Cass Elliot gave birth to her daughter, Owen.
Given the social stigma of unwed mothers at the time, both the pregnancy and
the birth had been kept a closely guarded secret from the public, and the LP's
name was meant to imply that Cass and the others had "delivered" a
newborn creative creation.
The Mamas & the Papas were
an American folk rock vocal group who recorded and performed from 1965 to 1968,
and were a defining force in the music scene of the Counterculture of the 1960s.
The band reunited briefly in 1971 to record the álbum People Like Us but did
not perform outside their recording studio at that time. The group was composed
of John Phillips, Denny Doherty, Cass Elliot, and Michelle Phillips née Gilliam.
Their sound was based on vocal harmonies arranged by John Phillips, the
songwriter, musician, and leader of the group who adapted folk to the new beat style
of the early sixties.
They released a total of
five studio albums and seventeen singles over a four-year period, six of which
made the Billboard top ten, and have sold close to 40 million records
worldwide. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998
for their contributions to the music industry.
While I'm far away from you my baby
I know it's hard for you my baby
Because it's hard for me my baby
And the darkest hour is just before dawn
Each night before you go to bed my baby
Whisper a little prayer for me my baby
And tell all the stars above
inRead invented by Teads
This is dedicated to the one I love
(love can never be exactly like we want it to be)
I could be satisfied knowing you love me
(and there's one thing I want you to do
especially for me)
And it's something that everybody needs
While I'm far away from you my baby
Whisper a little prayer for me my baby
Because it's hard for me my baby
And the darkest hour is just before dawn
If there's one thing I want you to do especially for me

When it’s new you put it on and its refrain you remember
Georgie but when a songs been often played
Another song then has been maded, makes you forget what you like the
