saigray Posted December 21 Report Share Posted December 21 I just went through my CD collection and so have been re-listening to some of my non-electronica faves. Listening to Cornershop's great "When I was born for the 7th time..." I found my old favorite "drown my sorrows in a pint and a game of darts" song, On the Road Back Home Again. THis song is so good it makes me want MORE blues to drink to. And while Cornershop is a fuckin long shot from country (more like indian/brit/electric/hip-hop flavored pop) this song has that special twang, and I wonder if there isn't somethin innate in country that makes us cry, or if crying makes us want some of the country twang.....no trance song ever made me want to lean over the bar and tell the bartender my life story. Another example if Beck's Mutations...a total departure from Odelay, the whole album screams to be the soundtrack to a film set entirely in a pub, with sad, longing characters spilling their hearts and tearing up into their pints.....also very country/folk influenced. So what about you guys, anybody else have their own drinking-to-forget theme song? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
