I'm In Love With That Song

Summary: Welcome to the “I’m In Love With That Song” Podcast. Each episode, we’ll take one of my favorite songs and dive deep into it, listening to all the nuances that make it a great song. You may be unfamiliar with some of these songs, while others you’ve probably heard a hundred times, but I bet if we listen closely, we can discover something new. Of course, there’s no definitive answer to what makes a great song—beauty is in the ear of the beholder—these are just my personal favorites, but I hope you love these songs, too.

 The Raspberries - "Overnight Sensation" | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 14:51

Writing a hit song about writing a hit song?  Genius!  This song has everything a great pop-rock song needs-- a memorable melody, great chorus, smart lyrics and killer vocals.  This song always makes me smile.  Don't forget to share & leave comments!   "Overnight Sensation (Hit Record)" (Eric Carmen) Copyright 1974 C.A.M. USA Inc.

 Kiss - "Flaming Youth" | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 14:26

Kiss was the band that turned a generation of kids -- including me -- into rock & roll obsessives.  Love 'em or hate 'em, Kiss became huge stars after the release of the "Destroyer" album in 1976.  This is one of my favorite songs on the album, and features some off-the-wall moments like circus instruments, odd time signatures and a mysterious guitar solo.  Your uniform is leather, your power is your age-- set the world on fire, baby!   "Flaming Youth" (Ace Frehley/Paul Stanley/Gene Simmons/Bob Ezrin) Copyright 1976 Cafe Americana, Inc/Kiss Songs, Inc (ASCAP)/All By Myself Publishing Co Ltd. (BMI)

 Utopia - "The Road To Utopia" | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 13:59

Utopia is back together for a reunion tour this Spring (2018), so there's no better time to revisit one of their great songs.  I think this era of Utopia pretty much invented "Progressive Pop" and this song is a great example of their songcraft and musical skills.  See you on the road to Utopia!  (And don't forget to share this podcast with friends, leave comments on iTunes, etc. It really helps!)   "The Road To Utopia" (Utopia) Copyright 1980 Fiction Music/Utopia (BMI)

 David Bowie - "Time" | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 17:28

With this song, David Bowie practically invents the Goth-Punk-Cabaret genre.  It's an epic song with brilliant piano by Mike Garson.  Let's explore the track and see what makes this masterpiece tick.  And if you like the podcast, please share! "Time" (David Bowie) Copyright 1973 Tinoretto Music (BMI) administered by RZO Music Inc Screen Gems-EMI Music Inc (BMI), Chrysalis Songs (BMI)  (phew, that's a mouthful.)

 Tom Petty - "Even The Losers" | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 13:45

Tom Petty always knew how to write an anthem, and this is one of his best.  A rallying cry for anyone who's been rejected or on the losing side of love. "Even The Losers" (Tom Petty) Copyright 1979 Alamo Music Corp (ASCAP)

 Paul McCartney & Wings - "Daytime Nighttime Suffering" | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 13:05

Let's start things off with one of my favorite McCartney songs - a tune most people haven't heard but should've been a big hit.  This song has everything I love about McCartney-- a terrific lead vocal, great bass part, an arragement that keeps evolving and cool production.  Enjoy!
