I absolutely adore the song. I have not listened to the whole album, but I think Starr did a great job on Liverpool 8. It does not have the quality of the great song ala Alanis Morisette’ or Norah Jones’ my favourites.
It is a sweet song, pop like with interesting rythmic and easy to enjoy. No surprises, just plain old music. Just like coming home.
The Violinist is wild!!! Good pop song…
Now you’ve done it again. You induced the sweet pain of nostalgia, nostalgia.
In ‘67, a month after our daughter Britt had been born, and immediately after the album had been released, my Swedish (girl) friends Kirsten and Britt ( the one who inspired my baby daughter’s Scandinavian name,) came to visit us and brought a present: “Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” – the most famous and the best of all Beatles’ albums. Ringo Starr, drummer. Not a singer. Although, we had heard his vocals in “A Yellow Submarine…”
Now, 2008, he still is not a singer. But who cares. At least he’s still here. John Lennon is not. And neither is George Harrison.
Wow, the sixties were great; the young Rolling Stones, the young Bob Dylan, the young Janis Joplin – this, at that time still young, (almost)grandpa sighs reminiscing .
Great song…and yes, that violinist is wild!!!
That is like THE theme song for a Liverpool fan like myself! Thanks for the nice song!
LB,
I knew you were going to say that! LOL. She is sizzling hot too!
Dear Colson,
I think he is not that extraordinary singer either. But he is attempting to do it. He is a much better drummer of course. I am giving him a full credit for launching this album.
I bet the sixties was wild!!
Dear Sandy,
Kind of remind me of you …
Giddy Tiger,
You didn’t comment on the violinist?
Here Here!!
