Fireflies, a million little pieces,(Ignite), It's been a long time I've been listening to it. But Still, I feel my first lure I felt when I heard it first..

 

[CharmsD]

Fireflies is great!
I have many favorites, for today something simple. A ballad, acoustic guitar, one singer.

@CharmsD Here another of Mr. Lakes eccentric love songs. IIRC, this is from "Brain Salad Surgery. Which I think, (at the risk of drawing fire from my opinion), is their best album.

Same song here's the front cover. I think it's their best too, it's supposed to be the loudest if that matters. I have another smooth oldie below.




The haunting ethereal "Mystery" by James Gang. Tommy Bolin here not Joe Walsh.

It's probably their best recorded, and best intellectual content. You just rip it, and print directly from Karn Evil 1 to Karn Evil 3, which gets rid of Emerson's self indulgent & obligatory keyboard grandstanding, an ya got yourself a winner.

Yeah, Joe Bob was off ruining the Eagles. Dunno what he's doing these days. Other than the "medley of his hit", "Life's Been Good", I don't pay much, (actually none), to his stuff.

That' photo is a paradox with him holding a Les Paul. with the whole piece being on acoustic guitar. BTW, the string section did all the heavy lifting.

Great hair though!

My favorite song is "Drift Away" and I do like the Uncle Kracker version as well as the original. Most Rock, Metal, and that late 90s to early 2000's Hip Hop.

The Eagles seemed to be pompous, Joe Walsh was the down to earth hard working musician. Their songs are pretty but they give me a sense they didn't try to be 'great'. Outside the context of selling a billion albums!

Sexy man. Forever 25.

"I had tried for many years, searching for some peace, tranquility, and understanding, but I continually failed. I wanted to quit again; all the while, knowing I was running out of time, hope, and friends. I struggled knowing I had to let go of my narcissism and become teachable, not judgemental. I came out of my last rehab with my life so rearranged; this song and a few other tunes helped me make a "cool change." I still have an affection for the lyrics. At the time, (early recovery), the words of the song seemed like they were written for me. Now, coming up on 18 years of sobriety, I believe everything positive plays a part in recovery if you are willing to go to any lengths, and "just change everything.""​

It's amazing how people express themselves so honestly and openly in the comments to a song. Thank you Robert...where ever you are, bless you. This is the song that motivated him.

In a roundabout way, the driving force behind the Eagles is Jackson Browne. Besides, what's wrong with selling a billion albums?

It was sort of a vindication for hating on Glen Frey for his anti-drug stance, after he got popped with a kilo (?) of coke. ( I think he kicked Randy Meisner out of the band for getting high all the time (AFAIK, basically rumor)).

Since we're on the topic of love songs, Here's Mr. Browne with a truly spectacular outing:

Whatever you might think of him, he is probably the most articulate songwriter of the whole west coast rock scene.
