What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

GOYTE  "making mirrors" cd, 2011.

a revisit after hearing "somebody that i used to know" on the radio yesterday..
his third of three, he never went back for another after the millions of albums sold, 14 million sales of the hit and a Grammy or two...
apparently he didnt enjoy the fame side of success so he went back to his old band The Basics to play pubs and clubs in around Melbourne, Australia, their latest album was released in 2019...
if you havent heard him i would compare his vocal quality to those of Sting and Peter Gabriel as examples...
anyway, the album is in alternative because it covers pop, experimental, electronica, easy listening and soft rock...
a very good album still but the mega-hit is not my favourite now...
I LIKE THIS ALBUM

favourite, the Motown tinged pop song:






There was a time I was down, down
I didn't know what to do
I was just stumbling around, around
Thinking things could not improve
I couldn't look on the bright side
Of anything at all
That's when you gave me a call

Now I feel better, better, better than before
I feel better, better, better, now I'm not down any more

And there were times I was sure, so sure
I couldn't turn it around
I couldn't care any more
About the good things I found
That's when you gave me a reason
To make me smile again
I only have to see you and then

I feel better, better, better than before
I feel better, better, better, now I'm not down any more

                 (repeat chorus)

Life sometimes seems to get the best of you
Like everything just brings you down
Just when you think there's nothing you can do
A friendly face will bring you around
And you'll feel better

You'll feel better, you'll feel better,
Better than before
You'll feel better, much better
No you won't get down any more
