MELT-PROOF AND SCRATCH-RESISTANT

Guilty Pleasures

Posted over 2 years ago
There are songs that are guilty pleasures. Songs which don't really fit into our usual comfort zone. Guitar Man is fluff, wrapped in gauze. Lightweight and cliched, I LOVE IT!!

  2. angeldawn says Have you heard Cake's cover of it? It's fantastic. I remember trying to learn another Bread song, If, on the piano. Oh, and Nadia's Theme too. Crap, now I feel like having a pop tart and some tang.

  7. Spike says I'm proud of my guilty pleasures, and the LP _the best of bread_ is one of them. What about Air Supply, the Carpenters and their ilk? Why close yourself off from the beauty all around us? You sometimes need a break from music that feels like you're sticking your finger in a light socket.

  8. dermahrk says The song is admittedly cheesy, but still has a place on my iPod, as do selected tunes from all of David Gates' solo LPs, some of which I had to buy as vinyl - not available on CD - and convert. The guy has an absolutely beautiful voice - something really special. More cheese, please! :)

    The Lyrics say it all folks

    Who draws the crowd and plays so loud, baby it's the guitar man

    Who's gonna steal the show, you know baby it's the guitar man
    He can make you love, he can make you cry

    He will bring you down then he'll get you high
    Somethin' keeps him goin' miles and miles a day
    To find another place to play.


    Night after night who treats you right, baby it's the guitar man
    Who's on the radio, you go listen to the guitar man
    Then he comes to town and you see his face
    And you think you might like to take his place
    Somethin' keeps him driftin' miles and miles away
    Searchin' for the songs to play.


    Then you listen to the music and you like to stay along
    You want to get the meaning out of each and every song
    Then you find yourself a message and some words
    To call your own and take them home.


    He can make you love, he can get you high
    He will bring you down then he'll make you cry
    Somethin' keeps him movin' but no one seems to know
    What it is that makes him go.


    Then the lights begin to flicker and the sound is getting dim
    The voice begins to falter and the crowds are getting thin
    But he never seems to notice he's just got to find
    Another place to play, Anyway Got to play, anyway Got to play.
