Music Video of the Day: Mama, I’m Coming Home (1991, directed by Samuel Bayer)

Posted on by Jedadiah Leland

This was actually the second video that was filmed for this song.  The first video was deliberately surreal and Ozzy felt that it didn’t represent what the song was about.  Samuel Bayer was selected to direct the second video on the basis of his direction of the video for Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit.

Rest in peace, Ozzy.

Song of the Day: Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne (R.I.P.)

We all knew it was coming but this one still hurts.

Ozzy Osbourne, RIP.

All aboard! Hahaha

Crazy, but that’s how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe, it’s not too late
To learn how to love, and forget how to hate

Mental wounds not healing
Life’s a bitter shame
I’m goin’ off the rails on a crazy train
I’m goin’ off the rails on a crazy train

I’ve listened to preachers,
I’ve listened to fools
I’ve watched all the dropouts
Who make their own rules
One person conditioned to rule and control
The media sells it and you live the role

Mental wounds still screaming
Driving me insane
I’m goin’ off the rails on a crazy train
I’m goin’ off the rails on a crazy train

I know that things are going wrong for me
You gotta listen to my words, yeah, yeah

Heirs of a cold war,
that’s what we’ve become
Inheriting troubles,
I’m mentally numb
Crazy, I just cannot bear
I’m living with something that just isn’t fair

Mental wounds not healing
Who and what’s to blame
I’m goin’ off the rails on a crazy train
I’m goin’ off the rails on a crazy train

Song of the Day: Something (The Beatles)

Posted on by Arleigh

Ok, time to get back in the saddle.

The latest entry in the “Greatest Guitar Solos Series” comes courtesy of The Beatles and one of the best songs, if not the best one, from their 1969 album, Abbey Road.

The song is the George Harrison penned “Something” and its been acknowledged by musicians and critics to be the greatest love song that doesn’t have the mention the word love (on a serious note, it is the greatest love song).

The guitar solo is performed by George Harrison and arrives as part of the song’s outro.

Something

[Verse 1]
Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me

[Chorus]
I don’t want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

[Verse 2]
Somewhere in her smile, she knows
That I don’t need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me

[Chorus]
I don’t want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

[Bridge]
You’re asking me, will my love grow?
I don’t know, I don’t know
You stick around, now, it may show
I don’t know, I don’t know
