Friday and the Random 10: Trying Harder Seems the Only Way to Go

Well here I am, another Friday and it's been a weird week. From going from a potential disaster at my workplace with my ex transferring to my department to the clutch going out on my truck, it's been a real crappy week. But here I am anyway. Might as well go with the randomness and hope for a change in my fortunes...

1) Rick Wakeman/The Glade -and we start with a piano piece from one of RW's 2,154 solo albums during the 80's-90's...this is actually a nice sounding piece...calms my nerves a bit

2) Glass Hammer/The Mirror Cracks - another instrumental piece from a new band i'm giving a listen to

3) Billy Joel/To Make You Feel My Love - and the moodiness continues

4) Jon Anderson/Unlearning (The Dividing Line) - from his Animation solo album which sounds soooo 80's

5) Eurythmics/Love is a Stranger - yes, yes it is

6) Francesca Battistelli/Blue Sky - well finally a pick-me-up song...I do believe she played Night of Joy this year at Disney

7) Jon Anderson/Some are Born - this was a YES demo song that ended up on Jonjon's Song of Seven..bonus lyrics...

Some are born to run

Some are born to fly

Through the echoes of the feelings drawn in everyman

Some are born to lose

Some are born to try

Trying harder seems the only way to go

Trying harder seems the only way to go

8) Third Day/Mama - sorry Cat, but they still sound like Hootie & the Blowfish to me  :-(

9) Chicago/Street Player - Chicago, yes! Horn section, yes! Disco? Oh Hell No!

10) Styx/Southern Woman - finally a song with a decent album cover

Well I guess i'm not in a great mood and it kinda show up in the songs. The Spinal Tap Commemorative Song for this week is Enigma/Back to the Rivers of Belief. Wow, nice. 

Until next time, trying harder seems the only way to go...
