Title: guys, which the national songs should j-dub sing in front of IRL people?
Post by: j-dub on May 28, 2014, 12:59:03 PM
so my good pal cf3 (who is actually good at music unlike his pal j-dub  :frown:) is the best of buds and has orchestrated it so that his pal (me) can fulfill a dream and sing some oscar and national songs, live, on a stage, with real musicians, to IRL people.

so, which the national songs should i sing  :excited:

i need my girl, is set in stone.

but now i'm having trouble deciding between: sea of love, terrible love, don't swallow the cap and pink rabbits.

p.s. fwiw, if i sing sea of love, i'm going to change "what did harvard teach you" to "what did boulder teach you"  :fatty:

cf3 is a multi-instrumentalist freak of nature. wouldn't be surprised if he's going to be the entirety of the backing band, just by himself.

great choice on AC, quite possibly the greatest song ever written.

Do you have the pipes to sing something like Badlands?

i could do badlands, but promised land fits the theme of the night a little better.

darkness is my fav oscar album by far. and he didn't even put because the night or fire on it.. my goodness.

candy's room/thread

i love candy's room, kim. love it. that guitar solo  :love:

"there's a sadness hidden in that pretty face, a sadness all her own from which no man can keep candy safe, we kiss, my heart rushes to my brain"  :love:  :love:

if you guys love badlands and candy, then you should go absolutely nuts over this (you've probs already heard it i imagine):

Have you seen the The National documentary about the lead singer's brother? I don't particularly care for The National but I loved that documentary.

j-dub, do Spare Parts.
I think the first couple lines are some of the best lyrics. If The Boss was a rapper, I'd include them in that thread.

rosie is one of the great epics in rock history. i would do my best to do it justice.

is your voice low enough to hit Sorrow? also the song is about not getting over a girl.  :frown:

oscar-wise, how could you go wrong with Dancing in the Dark?

definitely low enough for sorrow. sea of love is a little more spiteful about getting over a girl. kinda in my wheelhouse lately  :grin:

dancing in the dark would be a lot of fun, but we are kinda limited instrument wise. plus, promised land has that desperation tinged with just a little bit of hope that i love so much  :D

also j-dub, i totally saw you driving through westport on my way home from work last night but i was talking to my mom on the phone and i didn't have time to roll my window down and flail my arms around to get your attention

  :love: oh man that would have been a real treat! i tell ya, mocat - j-dub encounters have gotta be near the top of the list in the encounters thread, it happens all the time  :ksu:
