Title: Best released non-album BW solo track? Post by: CenturyDeprived on January 24, 2014, 01:11:15 AM I might nominate "Being With the One You Love".
Damn I love this song. No idea why this wasn't a proper BW88 album track. (And thank the stars above planet Earth that the lyrics were changed from what they were to what they became).

Doe on January 24, 2014, 01:14:18 AM "Joy To The World" - the only thing he's done with Thomas that doesn't make me tear my hair out at some point.

Title: Re: Best released non-album BW solo track? Post by: shelter on January 24, 2014, 01:26:46 AM Slightly off-topic: someone should release a compilation with Brian's solo odds & ends. He's got so many songs that hardly anyone has ever heard, because they're only on such obscure compilations or special editions, it's really a shame...

Being w/ the One You Love is a gem, for sure. Such a soothing song. Title: Re: Best released non-album BW solo track?

Title: Re: Best released non-album BW solo track? Post by: Rich E P on January 24, 2014, 11:41:34 AM This Song Wants To Sleep With You Tonight. Love this one. Should have been on the very short soundtrack and would have made it much better as a result.

I know, not released, but sooooo much better than the released version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJE9Obg_N80 Title: Re: Best released non-album BW solo track?

Title: Re: Best released non-album BW solo track? Post by: EgoHanger1966 on January 24, 2014, 03:31:49 PM Easily "What Love Can Do" for me - but don't watch the official video if you haven't already. There's footage of Brian recording his vocal, he looks really zoned out and it's a bit sad. Now I can't NOT think of that video when I hear the song.
Title: Re: Best released non-album BW solo track? Post by: mikeddonn on January 24, 2014, 04:16:54 PM I also love "Joy to the World". There's some great moments on that whole album too!
Title: Re: Best released non-album BW solo track? Post by: mikeyj on January 24, 2014, 04:43:01 PM I really like "What Love Can Do" and "Being with the One You Love". It probably doesn't count but I really enjoyed his performance of "The First Time" - I can't understand why he hasn't recorded and released studio versions of songs like that and "This Isn't Love", which is another good one.

Post by: Rocky Raccoon on January 24, 2014, 08:26:53 PM "Live Let Live" is absolutely epic, I don't get the same feeling when I hear the Lucky Old Sun version.

I bought Police Academy 4 on dvd just to hear the song in it. Turned out to be a hilarious movie too. I went to see the movie just to hear the song - disappointed it was buried in the closing credits. Played the single over and over that summer, knowing I was the only person in all of Seattle with a copy. Or at least it felt that way.Being w/ the One You Love is a gem, for sure. Such a soothing song. Title: Re: Best released non-album BW solo track?

Title: Re: Best released non-album BW solo track? Post by: The Shift on January 26, 2014, 02:03:05 AM This would be an ideal topic for a Survivor thread…
I think This Is Not Love and The First Time should be eligible, as the only BW album versions were recorded Live at the Roxy… PixelTwin? Title: Re: Best released non-album BW solo track? Post by: FatherOfTheMan Sr101 on January 26, 2014, 12:28:45 PM Sorry, video didn't work.

. He took his damn time to do it, but better late than never. I too am a very big fan of those tracks from the Live at The Roxy album, that John mentioned. And "This Song Wants To Sleep With You Tonight." He should release more from that period, they made a great team. The tracks he gave us with Carole King were great! Always grateful I researched before deciding where to buy That Lucky Old Sun album. Title: Re: Best released non-album BW solo track? Post by: PhilSpectre on January 27, 2014, 05:36:50 AM Sorry, video didn't work. http://youtu.be/dEdeLkztA_U Beautiful demo, Brian sings it wonderfully, especially now at the correct speed and sounding less like Neil Sedaka ;D . |
