Forgetting You - James Carr [The Dark End of the Street] a favourite song and album
"Unfortunately, James Carr was his own worst enemy, suffering from bipolar disorder his whole life. Ultimately, its the only refuge we can give ourselves in trying to figure out just why this man wasn’t as equally lauded as Otis Redding. While popular consensus might have slipped from his legacy, he was critically lauded, especially for his 1967 album You Got My Mind Messed Up. Many point to his version of “The Dark End of the Street” as being the definitive version and the best on the album, but my favurite is “Forgetting You” a half midnight oil burner/barnstormer that finds Carr in peak form, putting on a vocal performance that even Otis Redding himself might be hard pressed to match."
Forgetting You - James Carr
The Dark End of the Street- James Carr
Regulars may recall that I collect covers of James Carr’s classic r’n’b’ number Dark End of The Street whose titular album this is and largely thanks to Ry Cooder’s version of the song recorded with Bobby King and Terry Evans when I first heard it (it possesses one of the finest guitar solos I have ever heard him play IMHO) I am of course saddened to hear Carr suffered poor mental health and what we would have then called manic depression especially
Kelly Boesch ‘Maybe Tomorrow’
We haven’t had any Kelly for a couple of weeks and I ma getting side tracked by the AI argument but check this one out . . . the music is great I reckon!
Kelly says:
This song, “Maybe Tomorrow” is about all the promises we make to ourselves, the fresh starts, the second chances, the belief that tomorrow might be the day we finally get it right. But it’s also about the exhaustion of carrying the same questions, the same habits, and the same uncertainties year after year. It’s that strange place where you’re not sure if you’re moving forward or standing still. Where every new beginning feels full of possibility, yet every mistake feels familiar. It’s about overthinking, self-reflection, apologizing too much, questioning everything, and still somehow holding onto hope.I had a really hard time figuring out the visuals for this song. But I had this video that I couldn’t find the right music for. I tried them together and it felt good so here it is. My strange museum scenes with my song about trying to get it right. Hope you like it
we do Kelly we do!
someone asked her for the lyrics so
Maybe Tomorrow [Verse 1] A thousand new beginnings, How many will I ruin? How many new mistakes, Before I finally win? I'm walking through the motions I'm talking in my sleep I start a conversation I never want to keep [Chorus] Maybe tomorrow Maybe a year Maybe I wake up And then disappear Maybe the walls Finally talk back Maybe I'm lost Maybe on track [Verse 2] If I go to bed early, Will I feel more alive? How long can I hold on, Before I lose my drive? And I always say "I'm sorry," Even when I know I'm not. Between my mind and body, I'm losing what I've got. [Chorus] Maybe tomorrow Maybe a year Maybe I wake up And then disappear Maybe the walls Finally talk back Maybe I'm lost Maybe on track
