Time for Glenn Frey Solo Song Survivor, where we vote off Glenn’s Greatest Hits until we get to the last one standing!

Note: VOTING CLOSES AT 8:00 EASTERN TIME EVERY OTHER NIGHT, starting Tuesday, April 22.

If you're new, for a basic overview of the game, see this post: Survivor Overview (https://eaglesonlinecentral.com/forum/showpost.php?p=6551&postcount=7)

I'm going to list the songs from The Solo Collection here. Vote for the song that you feel should be eliminated from the list. The song that gets the most votes will be taken off of the list (or, in the language of Survivor, "Voted off of the island.") Each round, one more song will get axed, until there's only one left. Remember: you're voting for your LEAST favorite, not your favorite.

Each round will last 48 hours after posting to give people a chance to vote who don't post every day. That means that the first round will end at 8:00 Eastern time the day after tomorrow. If you miss a round, don't think you can't play. It's all good!

Since there may be discussion posts, be sure to make it clear when you are casting your vote. Votes cannot be cast after the cut off time of 8:00 on the second day, and they cannot be changed once you have voted.

If you get confused about what round we are in, look at this post. I'll always update it to reflect the current round. Also feel free to post any questions if you don't understand what's going on.

If there is a tiebreaker, then ALL votes from ALL previous rounds are tallied and whoever has the most prior votes is eliminated. That’s the way it’s done on the real show, that’s the way it’s done here. If there is a complete tie with prior votes (Murphy’s Law), then I'll have a sudden-death trivia question ready. The first person who answers it correctly gets to break the tie. The odds of that happening are slim, but you never know, and it's good to be prepared.

The tie-breaker question will be asked one hour after results are in, if there is need for it. The exception is the last round. If the tie-breaker does not resolve the last round, then the tie will be allowed to stand.

For this Survivor, we also have immunity questions. We won't have immunity questions on the first or second-to-last-rounds, and of course we won't have them for the last round, lol. However, for the other rounds, we will.

Here's how immunity questions work. After the beginning of the round, I ask a Frey-related question. The first person who answers the question correctly gets to pick a remaining song to be immune - no one can vote for it on the next round. I'll allow until 2:00 am Eastern for someone to answer. If no one gets it right by then, then we continue the round as normal without any song being immune. You only get one guess per round, so be careful!


The winner of the Solo Collection Survivor is...

PART OF ME, PART OF YOU!

Congratulations PART OF ME, PART OF YOU.

Well, at least the first round is easy for me - Rising Sun, as pretty as it is, is just a little appetizer, not the main course. It should go first.

I cast my vote for Rising Sun.

Freypower
04-22-2008, 08:08 PM
YAY!

I agree with you Soda. Rising Sun is an effective piece of music but I really don't know what it is doing on this CD.

So I cast my vote for Rising Sun.

Mrs Frey
04-23-2008, 02:14 AM
I cast my vote for "Rising Sun".

I must say, though, that I love the way this track almost runs into "Brave New World" - it's almost like a calm before the storm, given the subject matter of "Brave New World". I suppose I've also just got used to the running order of the two songs on "Strange Weather", which is the same, so I like listening to them back to back.

Glennsallnighter
04-23-2008, 04:41 AM
Well I ranked the SC songs (or tried to) in order the other day and boy was it hard! The top 5 or so keep changing. But I did rank 'Rising Sun' at number 16. Not that it is a lightweight and I DO like Glenn' :heart: s instrumentals immensely, but it would never hole up against the 'bigguns' later on.

So I cast my vote for 'Rising Sun'

Why do I feel like I'll be saying 'Sorry Glenn :heart:' a lot over the next few weeks?

Claire
04-23-2008, 06:52 AM
I cast my vote for Rising Sun too, though as MF said, it's kind of a great intro for Brave New World. But it's a pity that it's too short, and it hasn't really grown on me...

timfan
04-23-2008, 07:21 AM
I cast my vote for Rising Sun

It's gonna get ALOT more difficult now.... as I LOVE all the songs on this album! :D

scottside
04-23-2008, 09:04 AM
I cast my vote for "Rising Sun," also, but for me it was a toss up between this one, "Big Life" and "Delicious."

Ive always been a dreamer
04-23-2008, 10:35 AM
Welcome back, Scott. Good grief - asking me to pick my least favorites off of Strange Weather would be just as hard as this is going to be. I'm still trying to figure out what I want to vote for here. I'll be back later. :wink:

Mrs Frey
04-23-2008, 10:59 AM
I cast my vote for "Rising Sun," also, but for me it was a toss up between this one, "Big Life" and "Delicious."

Scottside, I'm a little confused. "Big Life" and "Delicious" are on the "Strange Weather" album. We're voting for songs on the "Solo Collection". :?: :wink:

I cast my vote for Rising Sun also.

The rest is going to be hard.

Ive always been a dreamer
04-24-2008, 10:44 AM
Okay - no surprize here. I thought Rising Sun would be the first to go. I like Soda's description, and I agree that 'appetizer' should be the first to go. For me, it is also almost like the beginning of Brave New World instead of a separate song. I don't think I've ever heard Brave New World without hearing Rising Sun precede it.

Since the outcome of this round appears to be determined, I'll deploy some strategy.

I cast my vote for Brave New World.

I like this song a lot, but something has got to go, and it's probably one of my least favorites. :cry:

glenneaglesfan
04-24-2008, 12:24 PM
I've been listening to this again in my car, and this is going to be a toughie. This is the first Glenn solo album that I bought and it just left me wanting more. I love the way he has included his most successful hits with four songs which haven't appeared on other albums.

Dreamer, I am inclined to agree with you about Brave New World. It may be where it's situated on this album - it's a bit downbeat after POMPOY and ROD. I prefer listening to it on Strange Weather.

I'm going to buck the trend here too. I don't skip tracks on cds normally, but if one of the boys is in the car I would skip Sexy Girl, just because of the lyrics. It has grown on me, but I'd feel it was hard to sell to other people.

I cast my vote for Sexy Girl

sodascouts
04-24-2008, 12:28 PM
I think Sexy Girl is definitely inferior to the dramatic and sweeping Brave New World, which I love. I have a bad feeling that because we have no link to it, folks might not remember how awesome it is, and it'll go early. I find it highly underrated and I'm so glad he included it on this collection, even if it didn't make it onto the Millennium Collection.

Voting for Round 2 will begin after the following immunity question is answered:

Which song(s) reached #2 on Billboard, the highest chart position of any solo Eagle song?

Please include both your answer and the song you wish to be immune.

sodascouts
04-25-2008, 12:00 AM
Well, since no one has answered the question, let's just move on to the next round. No song is immune.

I cast my vote for Sexy Girl.

Too repetitive.

Mrs Frey
04-25-2008, 01:52 AM
The answer to your question is "The Heat Is On", but it seems I'm just too late! :wink:

I cast my vote for "Common Ground". It's not that I don't like the song, but Glenn :heart: doesn't sing this one as beautifully as he does the remaining songs, in my opinion. The usual passion, heart and soul seems to be missing.

This will be the last vote I'll be able to put in for a while :( , so I hope you all enjoy the game while I'm away!

Freypower
04-25-2008, 04:38 AM
The answer was both The Heat Is On and You Belong To The City, but I haven't been able to get to the computer until now.

MF, I must disagree that the 'passion, heart and soul' is missing from Common Ground. I think it is one of Glenn's finest ever performances.

I cast my vote for Sexy Girl. I think the song has aged better than expected but it remains fundamentally trivial, and repetitive, as Soda said.

Glennsallnighter
04-25-2008, 05:49 AM
I knew that answer too, but again as I'm in Europe would have been asleep when you set it Soda!! :( . I'l have to stay up late some night. Is there any way we could change the immunity rule so that some of us over here would be able to answer when we login in the mornings? :pray: :pray: :pray:

If its against the rules, no worries.

Glennsallnighter
04-25-2008, 05:55 AM
Sexy girl is NOT one of my favourites by any stretch of the imagination, but in 1984 was probably the first of Glenn :heart: 's songs to make a mark over here and I suppose introduce him as a solo singer to Irish audiences. It brings back some rather fond reminisences, so I can't let it go just yet.

I actually love Brave New World which if I remember correctly was based on the Stephen King novel 'The Stand' which I read nearly 20 years ago and I think was one of the finest books I ever read.
(or maybe I just love hearing Glenn :heart: sing 'Darlin' :wink: )

I'm going to vote here to eliminate 'I've got Mine'. Its just a song I never took to as well as his other solo efforts.

scottside
04-25-2008, 09:07 AM
I cast my vote for "Sexy Girl," also. I never liked the verses and especially the chorus although the bridge does redeem it some.

sodascouts
04-25-2008, 12:00 PM
Freypower - you got it - it's both The Heat Is On and You Belong to the City.

I'd like to leave the immunity questions open longer - the problem is that I have to be awake to tell if the answer is correct or not so that the round can move forward.

Perhaps I can stay up later though. We'll move the deadline for the answer from 12:00 am Eastern time to 2:00 am Eastern time. If you get up early enough, you can answer it!

Ive always been a dreamer
04-25-2008, 12:38 PM
The problem with this Soda is that when I have to back you up, there is no way I can stay up until 2:00 a.m. on a work night. Would it help to move the cutoff time for each round to 6:00 p.m. EST and make the cutoff for the immunity question either 8:00 p.m. or 10:00 p.m.?

sodascouts
04-25-2008, 01:35 PM
I thought of that, dreamer, and I figure you'll never have to back me up THAT late. You back me up when I go out for the evening or something, but I'll certainly be back by that time, so we can switch off if need be. You go to bed and I'll maintain the vigil.

I think it's too complicated to move the cut-off time now that people have gotten used to 8:00, whereas leaving the question open a little longer shouldn't effect anything that much.

timfan
04-25-2008, 09:58 PM
This is the hardest song survivor YET!! I LOVE :D all the songs on this album!

But if I have to choose....

I cast my vote for Sexy Girl Tho it's great, of all the songs on the album; it does sound somewhat dated and 80's-ish.

glenneaglesfan
04-26-2008, 07:22 AM
Yes, I agree, Tf, this is very tough. MF, I'm surprised you think Glenn lacks passion in Common Ground. I find it a very moving song with a real depth of feeling.

I'm going to stick with my previous round, and cast my vote for Sexy Girl.

Brooke
04-26-2008, 10:08 AM
I cast my vote for Sexy Girl Tho it's great, of all the songs on the album; it does sound somewhat dated and 80's-ish.

I agree. I also cast my vote for Sexy Girl.

Ive always been a dreamer
04-26-2008, 12:11 PM
As for myself, I absolutely love Common Ground and I've Got Mine. They are two of my favorites, but they will probably won't hang around long in the game. I am going to be really sad to see either of them go. (But then, I'm going to be sad to see all of them go).

Once again, it appears that the outcome of this round has already been determined and I agree that Sexy Girl should be the next song to go. As Soda said, the chorus is too repetitive, but as Scott mentioned, the bridge is very catchy. But since I don't need to vote for Sexy Girl, I'm going to stick with my same choice.

I cast my vote for Brave New World.

Glennsallnighter
04-26-2008, 04:26 PM
Its amazing how we all differ isn't it! BNW is one of my favourites!!

Freypower
04-26-2008, 06:23 PM
Circumstances may make it difficult for me to be here for the immunity deadlines this week. I will try but I am not sure if I will make it or not.

I just want to make a quick comment on Brave New World. It is a 'sleeper'. It just grows and grows on you. I know it was inspired by Stephen King's The Stand but I always think he had the war in Bosnia in mind as well (or maybe he did). It has a really uplifting melody and an urgent and committed vocal. It probably is not the sort of song casual listeners associate with Glenn (but nor is anything else from that magnificent album. I hope we do a Survivor for it and the other solo albums, and Don's solo albums at least).

Please include both your answer and the song you wish to be immune.

Freypower
04-26-2008, 08:06 PM
Dreamer, that was the line I had in mind for SG if it was eliminated -you're holding onto a dream if you think you can win this game.

The answer to this is The Heat Is On & Who's Been Sleeping In My Bed, and as I've praised Brave New World, I would like it to be immune.

Ive always been a dreamer
04-26-2008, 08:12 PM
You are correct, FP!

Brave New World is immune.

VOTING FOR ROUND THREE BEGINS NOW.

scottside
04-27-2008, 08:42 AM
I cast my vote for "Call On Me" this time, but I do so reluctantly. I just couldn't fine something else that I felt that should go first...

Brooke
04-27-2008, 10:41 AM
I cast my vote for Common Ground this time. It just seems a bit, uh, common?!

I really hope I've Got Mine stays around a while longer. I just love the guitar in it.

Ive always been a dreamer
04-27-2008, 01:22 PM
Scott - I totally agree with you here. Plus, as I already said, I just love Common Ground and think it is one of Glenn's best solo vocal performances ever. As far as I've Got Mine, it has special significance to me and I think it is a great song.

I cast my vote for Call on Me.


Dreamer, that was the line I had in mind for SG if it was eliminated -you're holding onto a dream if you think you can win this game.

This made me laugh, FP. I think that is the best line in the song, and I like your take on it better than mine. :D

timfan
04-27-2008, 07:04 PM
This is a TOUGH Song Survivor! :?

I do love all the songs on this CD. As I love the sentiment of Common Ground :

I cast my vote for Call On Me

Freypower
04-27-2008, 07:12 PM
Damn! I KNEW I should have made Call On Me immune, as it's a song I absolutely love and I probably won't be able to make the deadline tomorrow.

I cast my vote for Who's Been Sleeping In My Bed which I consider the least distinguished of the 'new' songs here, and yet this is the one he plays live.

Glennsallnighter
04-28-2008, 08:35 AM
This is a flying visit! I've been at the Doctors all morning as my son injured his toe yesterday evening. They think its not broken but could be fractured!

Just in case I don't get back today, I'll stick with my nomination from last round. I vote for 'I've got mine' to go.

For the record its not that I think its particularly bad or anything - I love ALL Glenn :heart: 's solo stuff! Its juat that I didn't initially take to it in the same way as I did to the others. :D

Glennsallnighter
04-28-2008, 08:12 PM
OK! I tried! I stayed up to try to have a go at the immunity question, but I must have mixed up my times. I'm dropping now! Its after 1am here!! Maybe another night!

I don't want to see WBSIMB gone just yet, but I don't want to see TOYL gone either.

I'm listening to POMPOY which has just come onto my radio

Inspiration Glenn :heart: .........PLEASE!!

'Still I have to choose which way to vote' :pray: :pray: :pray:

OK! I can't vote for either of these. I know its not in the running to be eliminated this round. However my vote may have a strategic significance later, so I'll stick with my least favourite off this album.

I cast my vote for 'I've got Mine'

Thats why I just couldn't vote for either!!

Well it is very hard to play this game when you don't want to see any of the songs eliminated. :wink: It looks like WBSIMB is going to be the victim of love this time around. I think I am going to stick with strategy again.

The Heat Is On was on the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack while You Belong To The City was on the Miami Vice soundtrack. I don't know if POMPOY was on the Thelma And Louise soundtrack before or after it appeared on Strange Weather. I thought it was before, because of the different production credits (Don Was).

If this is right.... gee, I don't know whether I should be changing the 'immune' song each time or not. No, in this case I think I'll protect Brave New World and ask for it to be immune.

This is now officially impossible. I notice there have been a couple of votes for TOYL, which is interesting.

With the greatest reluctance I cast my vote for I've Got Mine. THe Dublin version rocks. I can't say that I'm totally enthralled by the original version when I compare it with the remaining songs here.

OK, well, I have no desire to see This Way To Happiness go yet because I love it (I know I keep saying that).

I really don't want to vote off any of these songs. I know he didn't write The Heat Is On, but it is the only solo song that ever gets any airplay here, and for that reason it deserves to stay in longer. Thanks for saving Common Ground for this round, FP.
dreamer, I'm sorry I've Got Mine has gone - I know it means a lot to you.

Oh well, gulp, I cast my vote for Brave New World.

05-03-2008, 02:49 PM
The Heat Is On is so much fun and before I even knew Glenn Frey was ever in the Eagles, I knew of him as "The guy who did The Heat Is On and You Belong to the City." It's GOT to stay. On the other hand, Brave New World is one of my favorites.

I reluctantly cast my vote for Soul Searchin'.

It's not as exciting and/or compelling as the other songs on the list (with the exception of Common Ground, which is immune).

Glennsallnighter
05-03-2008, 04:42 PM
I couldn't vote for THIO either or at least not at this early satge. It is a song that helped me through a particularly rough patch in the mid 80's, before I even knew much about Glenn :heart: himself!!

GEF, they play POMPOY over here a bit on 'my' radio station.

This is so hard - Its like trying to choose your favourite of your kids - you just cant!!

I've been thinking about this all day and have made up my mind to vote off 'Soul Searchin' for this round :( . Not that I don't like it or anything but with CG immune I just prefer the others.

Ive always been a dreamer
05-04-2008, 01:27 PM
Thanks for your sympathetic words, GEF. Last round, I was so bombed about I've Got Mine being eliminated that I couldn't even think straight - I even voted for the song that was immune. :roll: :wink:

And I agree that The Heat Is On is Glenn's most recognizable solo hit. It's a classic that has become an anthem for sporting events and weather reports. It doesn't deserve to go yet. Oh well - I don't think it's any secret what I will be voting for this time. Hopefully, this is the last time I have to vote for this song.

I cast my vote for Brave New World.

BTW - Even though I've been pulling for Brave New World to be eliminated, it's a great song and I like it a lot. I just don't like it as well as the others.

05-06-2008, 07:30 PM
FP, I totally agree with you about Common Ground. I absolutely love the song. It is funny how we all view things differently because this is one song where I scratch my head and say to myself "I don't get it, why doesn't everybody like this song as much as I do?" But anyway, as they say the world would be a boring place if we all thought alike. Anyway, I can't believe what I am actually getting ready to type, but here goes ...

Freypower

OK... well.... with reluctance I have to cast my vote for This Way To Happiness.

Having said that this is one of the more heartfelt songs on this CD. Listen to the second verse:

'Seems like I'spend my whole life running
Running away from what I can be
On some endless road south of nowhere
Always moving but never really free'

He sings this with such intensity that I can't help feeling that there is some self-expression here and he isn't just telling a story. The same goes for the 'I've rolled this rig from coast to coast' part.

Has anyone noticed the part about

Suddenly I found myself callin' to the heavens above
"Please send me someone to love"

is very similar to Don in Everything Is Different Now:

I dropped down and I called out to heaven
send me someone to love.
And heaven shot back, you get the love that you allow.
And everything is different now

sodascouts
05-08-2008, 09:50 PM
Yes, I"ve noticed that about the lyrics, FP. And the way he sings "I could hear the angels call" and "Lord, I've been searching for what seems like forever now" - it blows me away. I think it's one of his strongest vocals.

This is painful, but...

I cast my vote for True Love.

His vocal on it is amazing and I LOVE the effect of the full stop, but I like the others better.

Mrs Frey

We are at the half way stage I see! 8 gone and 8 left. And interestingly as well before we started this I made a list of the top 8 and the bottom 8. There is only one song in the top 8 and one in the bottom 8 that disagrees with my prediction. Of course putting the 8 left in order of how they will be voted off will be a lot harder.

I couldn't vote to eliminate TWTH! It is just such a happy 'feel good' song. And once again Glenn :heart: sings about those angels :D

I'm voting off 'The One You Love' this round. It is lovely and I love the sax intro. I just prefer more what the other songs have to offer.

You're right, FP. I thought it was strange that Glenn didn't include either I Found Somebody, Party Town, or even All Those Lies from No Fun Aloud on this album.

TRUE LOVE is immune.

05-11-2008, 11:09 PM
Well all I can say is I'd rather see Smuggler's Blue go down rather than The Heat Is On. Even though Glenn didn't write it, the song rocks and it is a classic. It's by far, Glenn's best known solo song and according to Glenn has "put a lot of red wine in his cellar". As I said earlier, it has become an anthem for weather stations and sporting events. It deserves to be in the top five in this game, IMO. I say save The Heat Is On and vote for Smuggler's Blues.

I cast my vote for Smuggler's Blues.

Guess we'll just have to agree to disagree here. It's not that I don't like Smuggler's Blues because I think it is awesome. However, THIO is something special, IMHO. It has such a catchy hook that you just can't get it out of your head once it gets in there. And OBTW, the delivery ain't bad either. I guess that's why it was such a megahit that still gets continuously played after more than 25 years.

And just to let everyone know, Soda and I both have plans this evening, and once again, will probably be late posting the results of this round. Whichever one of us gets home first will take care of it ASAP. Sorry, but we've both got a lot going on right now. :wink:

After much thought and speculation I cast my vote for The Heat is On.

I really like the song and I know it's always been a hit with the weather people, but it's just lacking something for me. The rest of the songs left just have a much better story line or lyrics. I was tempted to vote strategically, but I think it's time for this one to have it's final melt down! :wink:

For a second I thought I couldn't answer this as I don't have Millennium Collection. Then I knew that GFO could tell me. Sure enough, The One You Love is a live track on that album.

So I would like True Love to be immune again.

Edit: Sad confession. Sometimes I just reload GFO to look at the sidebars. I just had a very nice selection which includes the one that featured as my av last week. :shock: And now there is one of the SC insert photos, appropriately enough.

sodascouts

You know, the answer to every question asked in the Solo Collection Survivor can always be found somewhere on GFO. I consider GFO to be the "equalizer" - not everyone has all this info in their heads, but anyone can look it up!

TRUE LOVE is once again immune.

P.S. I hope no one got offended by my statement about Smuggler's Blues earlier. It's all in good fun and I meant no disrespect to those who voted for Smuggler's Blues.

Soda! I could never find you offensive either. One of the strong features of this board is that we can all have a good banter with each other, we can have differering opinions but we still respect each others opinions.

In fact I happen to agree with your comment ebout SB! But JMHO!!

Much as I love 'This Way To Happiness' and really makes me smile and feel good listening to it, we ARE after all voting for what we consider to be Glenn :heart: 's BEST song out of what remains. So with that focus and also because if it comes down to the wire I would consider Smugglers Blues to be a better song overall, with noted reluctance I cast my vote for

'This Way to Happiness'

For me too this was always going to be my #1. I love when they play it on the radio and I also put it on a lot in the car when I'm driving. Its got a real 'Feel Good' factor to it and always makes me smile and sing along with it.

I vote 'PART OF ME, PART OF YOU' for the win.

For the record too I love YBTTC but there can only be one winner, and POMPOY stands out a mile!

I cast my vote for PART OF ME, PART OF YOU for the win. I remember first hearing this one on the radio in the early 90s one night on the way home from work and nearly crashed the car thinking this was new music from the Eagles!

:lol: I've always thought it could have been an Eagles song and wish they would play it in concert.

I think I like the movie Thelma & Louise just because of this song. 8)

Brooke, I only bought the dvd of the movie because it had the POMPOY video included! (Bw, I did watch the film - it's amazing).

This is a beautifully constructed song, with deep lyrics and an awesome melody. For me it is faultless, and I probably listen to it at least once every day on my Ipod.

I cast my vote for Part Of Me, Part Of You for the win.

I got POMPOY on my mp3 this morning while travelling to work. I got so involved in the song that I had to hold back the tears. :cry:

Well - I was actually going to vote for You Belong to the City. I love both of these, and think they are both great songs. But, there is something so special about Glenn's voice in YBTTC that I can't even describe that takes this song to another level for me. In addition, it was Glenn's biggest solo hit along with The Heat Is On. However, since I don't think we've ever had a clean sweep in any of the survivor games, I'm going to go with everyone else.

I cast my vote for Part of Me, Part of You.

To celebrate,

Listen to the Glenn perform this in a medley with Lyin' Eyes and Take It Easy:

Osaka 1992

Unfortunately, we don't have any video downloads of Glenn performing the song. He never performed the song live in its entirety - only as a medley with Lying' Eyes and TIE. Maybe we can search the Internet and see if we can come up with some video.


Hope you enjoyed the game. Thanks for playing, everybody!

Is this really the first clean sweep? The resounding victory for this song demonstrates how important it is to Glenn Frey fans.

I was going to write a long and involved dissertation on how much the song means to me but I think I'll keep it short.

I didn't like it much to begin with. It took a long time to grow on me (so did the rest of the album). I honestly don't think I really started to get much out of it until the Eagles reformed. :blush:

I've told the story of how I was driving home from work one day (yes, I did work once :twisted: ) and the song came on and I felt that Glenn had sent me a message that yes, he was part of me and as a fan I was part of him in some small way, however distant. As MF says above, the song can choke you up when you don't expect it. That was in 2003 and the next year I finally saw the band again.

The acoustic guitars, the driving rhythm, the huge chorus - yes, it is a bit like Take It Easy. My favourite lines in terms of how he sings it are 'so many miles to go before I die' which is the usual laconic charisma, and then 'I look at you/your whole life stands before you' where he does the touching vulnerability stuff. :blush:

I know the song isn't well known. It doesn't matter. It is one of the touchstones of my life. OK.... sniff....

Congratulations to Part Of Me, Part Of You!! :rockon: :cheers: What a song to achieve such an accolade.

That's a lovely tribute to it, Fp.

Thanks for the download, dreamer. I probably have it saved somewhere, but it's always a joy to hear the live version again. 8)

Highlighted text: I'm with you all the way here, Dreamer. It's that very attribute that made it a tough decision for me.

Congrats to POMPOY! What a beautiful song! :yay: :yay: :yay:

I love your favorite part, too, Fp and also this:

I look at you; your whole life stands before you
I look at me and I'm running out of time...

Tears me up everytime. And it's sung with such passion!

Oh, Glenn! :iloveyou: :heart: :heart: :heart:

Please note, I've changed my sig and location in honor of POMPOY! And it took me forever to figure out what that meant, too! :roll: :lol:

I really enjoyed reading this, FP. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. I highlighted that particular line because it's very touching. I'd like to think that Glenn's :heart: a part of me too, now, and I'm a part of him, although I'm just one of his many, many devoted fans.

The lines that touch me the most are these:

We can never know about tomorrow
But still we have to choose which way to go
You and I are standing at the crossroads
Darling, there is one thing you should know

And then of course there's the beautiful chorus. How I wish I had someone in my life who cherished me that much.

Congratulations to POMPOY from me as well. It really is a beautiful song with carefully constructed lyrics that just flow from one part of the song to the next. Its one of my all time favourite driving songs which the miles just melt under.

Its played a lot on my radio station and one of the best times to hear it is just out of the 7am news, just when I'm contemplating my surgical removal from the matress! Needless to say when I hear 'Felt it when the Sun came up this morning.....' a big grin creases over my face and I'm in a good mood for the rest of the day!

I love the lyric 'Look at you your whole life stands before you' and apply it to my kids particularly as it really does, and I want the best for them.

Congratulations from me too Part of Me, Part of You on an overwhelming victory. I'm not surprized that this song won, but am shocked at how convincing the win was. This is definitely one awesome song as is You Belong to the City.

Yay, POMPOY!

The way this contest went down reminds me of Don's Survivor - the one that was the bigger hit (YBTTC/Boys of Summer) vs. the one that has the bigger heart (POMPOY/Heart of the Matter). The result was the same, too. Interesting!

Just read the comments left on the POMPOY video on YouTube to see a sampling of how this song touches people, just as it has us:

Magnificent song that never fails to lift my spirits.

Thanks for the link Soda. I read every single one of those comments, and they are very inspirational, indeed.

When I watched the video, it occurred to me that I could have at least linked to your GFO video page when I declared the winner. You have the video download, screenshots, etc. right there. Here it is:
