Two more songs from my list as we head into the weekend. 110 to go..back on Monday.
112. I AM A ROCK-SIMON & GARFUNKEL (1966)
Album: Sounds Of Silence
The wonderful accoustic guitar that opens the song leads into some of Simon's finest lyrics, painting a picture of a person
who has cut himself of from the world, to avoid getting hurt by anyone again. A classic by one of our finest songwriters.
111. CONSTANT CRAVING-kd LANG (1992)
Album: Ingenue
She won Best Female Pop Vocal for her performance on this one, and rightfully so. It's a terrific turn on a song that's
haunting and moody, with the yearning expressed in the lyrics perfectly brought out by Lang's soaring vocals. She nails
it here big time. Close your eyes and you'll see a solitary figure walking along the waterfront as the fog rolls in.

Funny, when I was in high school, I liked this meditation, which takes the opposite point of view:earendel wrote:This was my anthem when I was in high school (1966-1970).T_Bone0806 wrote:Two more songs from my list as we head into the weekend. 110 to go..back on Monday.

It's inspired a bunch of songs, none of them Boney-worthy.John Donne wrote:No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
