top 5 Taylor songs
Greetings,
If you could take only 5 Taylor songs with you to a desert island, which five would they be?
My top 5 Taylor:
1)Wave Perfect
2)Broken Ladders to Glory
3)Blessing in Disguise
4)Into the Deep
5)The Unattainable Earth
Your Taylor top 5?
Jim

That is not a possible top five... too many great ones to chose from... and my favorite songs always depend on my mood... there's no way I could choose five...

How I hates to post late!
hurts my fingers to go so slow!

James Taylor, FEH!
Now HERE's a traffic jam song.... in Jersey, no less.... I left the chords in for anyone who's heard this song (because they'll want to learn it)....
(B7)The merge from the Turnpike was murder, but it's never a cinch
It was Friday at five and no one was giving an (C)inch
They squeezed and they edged and they (D)glared
(C)Half of them clearly im(D)paired
By (C)rage or exhaustion - the rest were just touchy as hell(B7)
Somewhere near Paterson everything slowed down to a crawl
The all-news station was thanking someone for the (C)call
It's a van from St. Agnes' (D)Choir
There's a (C)nun out there changing a (D)tire
By the (C)time they got by her tempers were out of control(B7)
They (Am)all hit the gas in a dash for position
(C)Bobbing and weaving, flashing their high-beams
(Em)Flipping the bird, screaming obscenities
A (C)murderous horde hell-bent on Saturday(B7)
And so they continued, westbound and into the sun
Law and decorum constraining nary a (C)one
By then it was devil-may-(D)care
Not (C)one even vaguely a(D)ware
That they'd (C)come all the way to the Delaware Water Gap(B7)
(Am)How had it happened? They had all missed their exits
(C)How had it happened? Was it some kind of vortex
And (Em)in they all went, bumper to bumper
(C)Faster and faster, no sign of a trooper
And (G)in they all went like sheep to the slaughter
(D)Bankers and carpenters, doctors and lawyers
(Em)And in they all went - families in minivans
(C)Reagan republicans, weekend militiamen
They (G)followed the river and rounded the bend
Between (D)Minsi and Tammany and into their destiny
(Em)Lying in ambush right there before them
(C)The angry old sun right on the horizon(B7)
Sister Maria tightened the bolts of the spare
She said a quick prayer and put the old van into (C)gear
Thank God the traffic was (D)light
If she (C)hurried she might not be (D)late
For that (C)evening's performance
At the State Penitentiary(B7)
(Am)She entered the common room - there was her choir
(C)Altos and baritones, basses and tenors
(Em)Car-thieves and crack-dealers, mobsters and murderers
(C)Husbands and sons, fathers and brothers
And (G)so it began, in glorious harmony
(D)"Softly and Tenderly" - calling for you and me
(Em)With the interstate whining way off in the distance
(C)And the sun going down
Through the bars of the prison
And they (G)poured out their souls
They poured out their memories
They (D)poured out their hopes for what's left of eternity
To (Em)Sister Maria, her soul like a prism
For the (C)light of forgiveness on all of their faces(B7)
-- "Transit," Richard Shindell

very nice!
Posted by Gamgee on 09-18-2002 at11:42:
I started to list some of my favorites (instead of trying to do a top 5), but the list got over 20, and I was still thinking of more...
Posted by brdhsnyrsoul on 09-18-2002 at11:44:
maybe it would be easier to list the ones you don't like? There aren't nearly as many.....
Posted by Gamgee on 09-18-2002 at11:49:
Yeah, but what would be the point of that list?

just to see how even though we're similar - we're really quite different - I'd guess some people's least favorite songs are someone else's favorites....
