By the second I was pulled over on the side of the road, bawling. I was a frightened, sad, hopeless active drinker and this song became my impetus to do something about it. It took about a year. But I played it a lot, and I cried every time. I don't cry anymore. I sing it, and I sing it loud. Especially the end.

Wow..well, I do remember that title..and cover art. Had to have been on it. My earliest drinking episodes (my friend and stealing booze mom her parents liquor cabinet..first time drunk was at that house)..her brother used to play that album endlessly ..it drove us nuts..but the only song that I remember was..I Got You. 14 years old..drinking and dancing to that damn song over and over and over and over and over.

That's a new one on me too. It's fitting though.
Anyone up for some Freddie with a bouffant?

Here is a song completely unrelated to alcohol, but it just makes me happy when I hear it. Jovanotti is a popular Italian musician, his music could be categorized as "pop" but his appeal is more far reaching. I love the video too, it really sums up the summer feeling here in Italy very well. 
On that note, I'm off to the beach for the day!

BACIAMI ANCORA/ KISS ME AGAIN
Un bellissimo spreco di tempo/ a beautiful waste of time
un’impresa impossibile/ an impossible undertaking
l’invenzione di un sogno/ the invention of a dream
una vita in un giorno/ a whole life in one day
una tenda al di là della duna/ a tent beyond the dune
Un pianeta in un sasso, l’infinito in un passo/ a planet in a rock, eternity in a step
il riflesso di un sole sull’onda di un fiume/ reflection of a sun on a river's wave
son tornate le lucciole a Roma/ the glow-worms are back in Rome
nei parchi del centro l’estate profuma./ in the midtown's parks the summer perfumes
Una mamma, un amante, una figlia/ a mother, a lover, a daughter
un impegno, una volta una nuvola scura/ a commitment, once a dark cloud
un magnete sul frigo, un quaderno di appunti/ a magnet on the fridge, a notebook
una casa, un aereo che vola./ a house, a plane that flies
Baciami ancora…/ kiss me again
Baciami ancora…/ kiss me again
Tutto il resto è un rumore lontano/ everything else is a distant sound
una stella che esplode ai confini del cielo./ a star exploding on the edge of the sky
Baciami ancora…/ kiss me again
Baciami ancora…/ kiss me again
Voglio stare con te/ I wanna be with you
inseguire con te/ chase with you
tutte le onde del nostro destino./ all the waves of our destiny
Una bimba che danza, un cielo, una stanza/ a little girl who dances, the sky, a room,
una strada, un lavoro, una scuola/ a road, a job, a school
un pensiero che sfugge/ a thought that escapes
una luce che sfiora/ a light that skims over
una fiamma che incendia l’aurora./ a flame that inflames the dawn
Un errore perfetto, un diamante, un difetto/ a perfect mistake, a diamond, a defect
uno strappo che non si ricuce./ a tear that can't be mend
Un respiro profondo per non impazzire/ a deep breath to don't go crazy
una semplice storia d’amore./ a simple love story
Un pirata, un soldato, un dio da tradire/ a pirate, a soldier, a god to betray
e l’occasione che non hai mai incontrato./ and the chance that you've never met
La tua vera natura, la giustizia del mondo/ your true nature, justice in the world
che punisce chi ha le ali e non vola./ that punishes who has wings and doesn't fly
Baciami ancora…/ kiss me again
Baciami ancora…/ kiss me again
Tutto il resto è un rumore lontano/ everything else is a distant sound
una stella che esplode ai confini del cielo./ a star exploding on the edge of the sky
Baciami ancora…/kiss me again
Baciami ancora…/ kiss me again
Voglio stare con te/ i wanna be with you
invecchiare con te/ grow old with you
stare soli io e te sulla luna./ be alone you and I on the moon
Coincidenze, destino,/ coincidences, destiny
un gigante, un bambino/ a giant, a child
che gioca con l’arco e le frecce/ playing with bow and arrow
che colpisce e poi scappa/ that hits and runs
un tesoro, una mappa,/ a treasure, a map
l’amore che detta ogni legge/ love that lays down the law
per provare a vedere/ to try to see
che c’è laggiù in fondo/ what there is down there
dove sembra impossibile stare da soli/ where it seems impossible to be alone
a guardarsi negli occhi/ looking each other in the eyes
a riempire gli specchi/ filling the mirrors
con i nostri riflessi migliori/ with our best reflections

'Easy To Slip'
'Little Feat' is considered a group of Musician's Musicians to many of us Players.
Founder Lowell George left us far too soon at age 34. His legacy, and cautionary tale re: his own Addiction, is preserved in this >40 year old melodic gem.
'Easy To Slip' ~ Little Feat ~ You Tube
It's so easy to slip
It's so easy to fall
And let your memory drift
And do nothin' at all
All the love that you missed
All the people that you can't recall
Do they really exist at all
Well my whole world seems so cold today
All the magics's gone away
And our time together melts away
Like the sad melody I play
Well I don't want to drift forever
In the shadow of your leaving me
So I'll light another cigarette
And try to remember to forget
It's so easy to slip
It's so easy to fall
And let your memory drift
And do nothin' at all
All the love that you missed
All the people that you can't recall
Do they really exist at all

Here's one from a new Boston based band, Lake Street Dive. The song is about some sort of bittersweet relationship, but the analogy used is... pretty clear 
Fans of upbeat jazz should check it out, because they might just be your new favorite!

Here is a new Coldplay that I love. It was a song in my workout video, and I ended up downloading it. I never knew I liked Coldplay!
