Re: Celebration of "I Can't Stand Still"
The sunset colors of the sky is an interesting idea too. I'm admittedly influenced by my own experiences, so I never thought of that.
I grew up in a New England seaport town. We don't have ocean sunsets. Instead, for me, romance would be a guy in a sweater, walking on a beach on a chilly, blustery day with waves crashing around and flags on the boardwalk threatening to come loose from their ropes. But that's just me. :)
It's really cool to see how each person's interpretation of a line in a song varies based on their own lives and experiences.
Re: Celebration of "I Can't Stand Still"
When you put it that way, it indeed sounds very romantic, Windeagle.
Re: Celebration of "I Can't Stand Still"
My top 3 are Dirty Laundry, Talking To The Moon and Lilah. The rest I haven't heard enough to rank - yet. :)
DL will always be special for the memories of dancing in the aisle at Rod Laver... :hilarious::rockon: (the rest of the audience was SITTING DOWN!!! :confused:)

As with LWH, I am not crazy about the 'tura lura lura' ending of Lilah.
I'm with you on these parts, Fp.

When I first heard this line I was amazed that Don would sing about the toaster! :lol:
Re: Celebration of "I Can't Stand Still"
I'm with you guys on all the stuff in the last post, but I don't hate Johnny Can't Read. I still like what the song says, there's a school girl fantasy to the video :blush: and it's Don at his worst acting. He couldn't act his way out of a paper bag, but he could sure as hell sing his way out of one. :thumbsup:
I pretty much agree with Brooke's list, except I have to move my funeral song up to # 4 :angel: & put JCR where that was.
Re: Celebration of "I Can't Stand Still"
Okay - First of all, I have to apologize for the delay in posting the results of our I Can't Stay Still poll. Sorry Don, but I got delayed cause your one of your bandmates played a little gig that I had to go see. :wink: :wink: There were several folks who commented or posted partial lists, but I only counted those who actually posted a full list. As it stands now, we actually have a couple of ties. So - without further delay, here's the standings as they are now ...
1. Dirty Laundry - 69 points
2. Lilah - 69 points
3. Talking To the Moon - 67 points
4. Long Way Home - 44 points
5. Nobody's Business - 44 points
6. The Unclouded Day - 40 points
7. You Better Hang Up - 33 points
8. I Can't Stand Still - 29 points
9. La Eile - 26 points
10. Them and Us - 24 points
11. Johnny Can't Read - 17 points
So congratulations to our top vote-getters so far, Dirty Laundry and Lilah!!!
Thanks to those who participated. As I said earlier, if anyone else wants to still post their list, it's not too late. Go right ahead - I'll update the standings if this happens. Since the results are so close right now, each person's list can definitely change the results.
Re: Celebration of "I Can't Stand Still"
Wow, I'm really surprised Lilah beat Talking to the Moon!
Re: Celebration of "I Can't Stand Still"
I listened to the top 3 this morning (admittedly off the Inside Job Live DVD since it was handy), and each of them was my favourite when it was playing... until the next one started... :nahnah:
Re: Celebration of "I Can't Stand Still"
BEST DON'S ALBUM SO FAR IMO. 8)
