Oh, what did I have?
Search for the diamond
Shine through the door
What ever I did, lord
I would do again
Oh, what did I have then?
Don't say it's over
Hilltop leaves turn gold and red
Don't say it's over
Your black eyes remind me
Of the dreaming dead
Turn up the future
Turn off the past
Only in your arms
Will this last
What ever I did, lord
I would do again
Oh, what did I have then?
Thank you RP for including a realistic balance of women musicians and songwriters throughout your stellar sets. Eventually this audience may be more accustomed to the concept. Women artists will be appreciated in their own right, as individuals. More people will recognize unique voices, without the fixation on IDing who else they sound like. Will view beauty without gender stereotypes minimizing the shared power of female artists. ... There are many striking, unfamiliar voices on RP that are so unique we stop to check who it is. It's more interesting who they are, than rating them on a scale limited to gender (which is not such a knee jerk reaction to male singers in the comments). Another public service of Radio Paradise. 😃

Every time I hear this song I think it's from 1968, which is a compliment.
Indeed ! on par with Lindsey Buckingham
Lovely song, top to bottom. Love the guitars

Good call

For sure - this 'latter day Hippie' is loving this.... I'm floating around my room in my 70's :)

If you put it this way. I believe the only parameter here is quality, and that alone can balance things in proper way. This is not Netflix and this song is amazing.

Nothing beats jangly guitars
"Eventually this audience may be more accustomed to the concept. Women artists will be appreciated in their own right, as individuals'' Oh for goodness sake please don't drag identity politics into music, I'm sure I speak for the majority of listeners on here when I say I just like music and I don't care whether its made by men, women people of colour or whatever. Female artists were massively popular 50 years ago or have you never heard of Dusty Springfield, Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin and many , many more great female artists. To to and paint female artists as victims struggling to be heard is is quite frankly ridiculous. This isn't a university campus y'know.
Spoken like a man...

Every time this song is played I up my rating a point. I'm now up to a 9. I have to stop, right?! It's really not a 10. But damn, it's so good.
It's a 10.

Still gives me goosebumps after 100s of listens.
Me too!

Eventually? What makes you think we care how you feel about who and what we appreciate let alone when? Some may. I, for one, really do not.
I am an American and believe in the freedom to speak (as you have) and think as I please. Knee jerks included. Thank you, as always, to RP!!
YEAH!
VIVA RP!
thanks Bill.

Most of the song on my RP favorites are female singers/female-fronted bands ! Many I discovered here or on GirlsRockRadio.com. Funny, I prefer female NursePracs, LCSW's, Psych, etc.

This comment is pure sexist drivel.
The comment you referred to is not really all that "pure"; the grammar and structure are a little dodgy in spots.

Ditto.

I'm not sure you're using "sexist" correctly.
This comment is pure sexist drivel.
This comment is pure antifeminist vitriol.
Wow, it's FUN to be a reductive douche!
This comment is pure sexist drivel.
Just bumped up my rating. To be reminded of sth. doesn't need to be a bad thing at all.
5 to 8
Not a gretsch, not a tele, not a strat.
DeArmond by Guild Starfire Special with Bigsby. Special amplifier with reverb that goes to ELEVEN!

Yes, I brought that up way down in this thread (2013). It's a sweet guitar.
... or 10 years too early?
the louder the better
fab vocals killer guitar too
Stand corrected, I do. An upside-down Gretsch?

Not slide, but definitely some fabulous guitar from Phil Wandscher (former member of Whiskeytown).
I always stop what I'm doing to turn this one up.
This is the Radio Paradise main mix.
I’m not sure of your intended meaning for this comment, but if you are implying that this is one of those songs that “defines” the RP Main Mix, then I agree wholeheartedly. I love this song and I’m pretty sure I’d never have heard of Jesse Sykes without RP. This is one of the tunes that was in what passes for ‘heavy rotation’ on RP when I started listening back in the mid 00’s, so Jesse Sykes joins groups like Madrugada, Air, and the Silversun Pickups as my personal ‘sound of RP’.
