Bette Midler-The Rose

I was looking for a vid of Janis Joplin singing this song but...didn't find such a thing. Instead, I bring you the wonderful Bette Midler. She's got a great voice, methinks.

Not sure why I can't post pics, lately, but...here is the link of the movie, 'The Rose,' that Bette played Janis Joplin in.

I'm going to have to rent that and watch it, again, one of these days.

Govt Mule HD - Piece of My Heart w/Dana Fuchs - New Years 2009/10 - Beac...

OK...having quite a time finding any other good comparisons of these two women but this song and...this recording of Dana is a little...um..."echo-y."

So, anyways...this one, of course, is Dana and...

this one is Janis Joplin:



So...I'm just gonna sit back and wait for a vote. :-)

(I, originally, set out to find Janis singing 'The Rose' but...surprisingly, there ain't a ONE clip of that nowhere! So...I moved on to Plan B. Hope you don't mind and...that you enjoy! :-)

Pink Floyd - Another Brick In The Wall(Live)

I could watch David Gilmour play his guitar every night, for the rest of my life, and I don't think I'd ever get tired of that dude! :-P

To be fair, the rest of that band is pretty fantabulous, as well! My all-time favorite band is the Eagles but...dang...I can't think of a more spectacular band than this one! And...the light shows are out of this world AMAZING!

Hope you enjoy!

Dana Fuchs Band - Strung Out

I discovered this woman, just a few weeks back, and wondered where the heck I had been where I had never even heard of her, before! And...she was even in a movie that I had never heard of! WILD! Anyway...I LOVE her voice and found a song that has her not screaming too much because she's got that Janice Joplin thing going on; but, man...what an incredibly powerful voice she has! Hope you enjoyed this song. I guess I found her when I was looking for an Etta James song that I had seen Etta do on a PBS Special, some years back, that I wanted to post. Dana, here, does an incredible cover of Etta James' 'I'd Rather Go Blind.'



And...if you enjoy this song, I, highly, recommend you listen to the aforementioned song, along with the many others that are posted on uboob. They're quite good.

And...here, also, is the movie that Dana starred in, as Sadie, for all you Beatles "freaks," called 'Across the Universe' :-) I'd like to see the movie, just because it's quite an "artsy" looking movie and...I've never seen it, before. I would also like to see more of Dana's songs in it, as well, like her singing in this song, 'Don't Let Me Down.' Gonna hafta rent this movie, soon. Looks interesting. :-)

Plumb - Hang On (Original Version)

Been a tough few days. Needed a reminder. Love her beautiful voice. Hope you do, as well.

Lyrics to 'Hang On' by 'Plumb:'

I'm so stubborn, it's how I got here
So alone, feels like forever
Wanna swim away and breath the open air
But I feel so afraid, then I hear you say

Hang on when the water is rising
Hang on when the waves are crashing
Hang on, just don't ever let go

I'm so hungry, how can I stay here?
Starving for what I hold so dear
Like a hurricane it takes everything from me
Wake me from this dream

Hang on when the water is rising
Hang on when the waves are crashing
Hang on, just don't ever let go

Hang on when you are barely breathing
Hang on when your heart's still beating
Hang on, just don't ever let go

Three days, thirty years
So hopeless, doesn't matter
Don't say it's too late if you blink your eyes
The sun is rising, the sun is rising, oh

Hang on when the water is rising
Hang on when the waves are crashing
Hang on, just don't ever let go

Hang on when you're barely breathing
Hang on when your heart's still beating
Hang on, just don't ever let go

Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough

Lyrics:

Now I don't wanna lose you,
but I don't wanna use you
just to have somebody by my side
And I don't wanna hate you
I don't wanna take you
But I don't wanna be the one to cry
That don't really matter to anyone, anymore
But like a fool I keep losing my place
And I keep seeing you walk through that door

But there's a danger in loving somebody too much
And it's sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust
There's a reason why people don't stay where they are
Baby sometimes love just ain't enough

Now I could never change you
and I don't wanna blame you
Baby you don't have to take the fault
Yes I may have hurt you
But I did not desert you
Maybe I just wanna have it all
It makes a sound like thunder
It makes me feel like rain
And like a fool who will never see the truth
I keep thinking something's gonna change

But there's a danger in loving somebody too much
And it's sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust
There's a reason why people don't stay where they are
Baby sometimes love just ain't enough

And there's no way home
when it's late at night and you're all alone
Are there things that you wanted to say
Do you feel me beside you in your bed
there beside you where I used to lay

And there's a Danger in loving somebody too much
And it's sad when you know it's your heart they can't touch.
There's a reason why people don't say who they are
Baby sometimes love just ain't enough.
Baby sometimes love-it just ain't enough...ohh, No. No.
