Songs I Didn't Skip (Part 7)

 "I'm a Soldier in the Army of the Lord" by Lyle Lovett (1997)

*Another* LL 90s movie song, this one from a mostly forgotten Robert Duvall film, The Apostle

"Speed of the Sound of Loneliness" by Nanci Griffith (1993) 

I am not, in general, a listener of Country (or Western) music. This kind of artist can perhaps be categorized as "NPR Country" so it gets into the rotation. Whatever it's called, this is a great John Prine cover. 

"Would I Lie to You?" by Eurythmics (1985)

An R&B flavored change of pace from their previous hits.

"Further to Fly" by Paul Simon (1990)

This isn't the first track I'd usually grab from this album but it's a good one. This album has a lot of the same people who played on "Graceland" but it has a different, cool feel to it.

"Bizarre Bazaar" by Ozric Tentacles (1991)

An Ozric Tentacles Groove!

"Daybreak (From Son of Dracula)" by Harry Nilsson (1974)

A real oddity from an old movie produced by Ringo Starr and billed as, "The First Rock-and-Roll Dracula Movie". 

"That's the Way of the World" by Earth, Wind, and Fire (1975)

One of their best.

"Me Around" by Michael Penn (1997)

A Beatles-esque sounding tune with some sharp, sarcastic breakup lyrics.

"Telephone Line" by Electric Light Orchestra (1977)

One of my favorite ELOs.

"Couldn't Cause Me Harm" by Beth Orton (1999)

A good, moody 90s folk/pop tune. Where did I get this one?

"Give Everybody Some" by The Bar-Kays (1967)

A classic Stax instrumental that I wasn't very familiar with.

"Winter Winds" by Mumford and Sons (2009)

Maybe it's the weather.
