So I signed into Spotify (something I do 2 or 3 times a year) and gave a new to me Deep Purple album from a year ago. 

WTF, I know there's no longer any Jon Lord keyboards ( :( ) , but good grief, that wasn't Ian Gillan either.   :hmm:   

That sorta makes it not actually Deep Purple.   <_<

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

:wub:

Yeah, some of those 60s classics are rather good, I guess she was imagining a fairytale New York when she sung that.

So I just looked this up on wiki. Apparently it is with regards to NYC though the lyricist thought Times Square was Downtown. Definitely a fairy tale if about Times Square. :D

QuoteIn the autumn of 1964 Hatch had made his first visit to New York City, the purpose being to seek material from music publishers for the artists he was producing. Hatch would recall: "I was staying at a hotel on Central Park and I wandered down to Broadway and to Times Square and, naively, I thought I was downtown. Forgetting that in New York especially, downtown is a lot further downtown getting on towards Battery Park. I loved the whole atmosphere there and the [music] came to me very, very quickly". According to Hatch he was standing on the corner of 48th St waiting for the traffic lights to change, looking towards Times Square when "the melody first came to me, just as the neon signs went on."

So appropriate when on my way back to the source of everything that is everything.

Joni Mitchell - California

Frank Larrabee--California Lady.  You might remember the song best from the 10th season MST3K episode, Track of the Moon Beast.  Terrible recording. :(

Voluntarily? :huh:

Title wouldn't make sense the other way.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Tamas

One of my favourite Hungarian songs. It is from the late 60s/early 70s, kind of like a testimony of hippy values after that era is gone, if you will. Here it is with decent subtitles:
