thoughts for when the music's over:
after the glitter fades
by - stevie nicks
from - bella donna, 1981
bella donna might be one of my favorite albums of all time, and something about this song in particular is so nostalgic and fitting for life on the prairies. i was forced to hear a lot of country and heartland rock growing up... and i will pick heartland over straight country any day. also it released as a single on my birthday so i am automatically biased!!!!
september song
by - lindsey buckingham
from - law and order, 1981
this one's a cover, apparently? of something from a 30s musical or something around there? it's short and sweet... and kinda loud... and i want it to be fall already
созрела (ripe)
by - zemfira
from - forgive me my love, 2000
i really do yearn for 2000s pop rock on a clinical level
the crystal ship
by - the doors
from - self-titled debut, 1967
isn't it fitting for the first song reviewed on a blog called the crystal ship to be... the crystal ship? morrison's music is interesting in the way that the instrumentals and lyrics themselves are better than the vocals. the vocals on this one, however, did not need to grow on me---in fact, it's one of my favorites. great poetic appeal.
