Ne Me Quitte Pas
(Sting)

<3 hearing songs by The Pretenders,
The Eurythmics and by Bono & The Edge (U2)
(Sting, too!)

a bit of a stretch but u2 + salman rushdie brought this one to mind

the driving force of love...
 

from lying down with your head in an oven to lying down on the street
--- Chasing Cars: Snow Patrol ---

From lying down on the street to looking at what's going down on the street

Snow Patrol ~~>>> Gary Jules (Mad World)

I'm leaning toward Polish Jazz trumpeteer, Tomasz Stańko...
(which, I guess, is a bit of a stretch)

Love - 0 = (a delicate) Unbound Love

... Stay
 

She & Him ~~>>> Nicolette Larson (covers of Neil Young's 'Lotta Love')
 

I believe I was 18 years old when I first heard Nicolette's cover
of Neil Young's song on the radio, while driving across the desert,
one night, on my way to Mountain Home Air Force Base.

Chrissie covers Neil
 

*I've been stretching again*

I leaned a little bit to the left,
this morning (not much of a stretch)



eta: I read somewhere, recently, that Nick Cave
is making (or starring in?) a film, scheduled to be
released sometime next year.

I know I'm stretching the subject entirely,
but this one came to mind, tonight.

Neko Case ~~>>> Russian Red
 

"The most tender place in my heart is for strangers," (Neko Case).

"Loving Strangers, loving strangers, loving strangers...," (Russian Red).

from the first song
 

to the last song on the various positions album


a desert island top pick for sure

Leonard Cohen ~>> Jennifer Warnes ~>> John Cale ~>> Nick Drake
 

Your desert island top pick inspired me to think of:
Nick Drake's ... Northern Sky.
