I fall for a song the same way everyone else does. The trouble, sometimes, is staying in love with a song. If there are aspects of it that are just awful (the production, the editing, the mix), it becomes harder to listen to the song and I fall out of love with it. If all of the elements work (and, most often, they do), I can stay in love. In fact, if I buy an album and the whole thing has a great mix (example: Steely Dan "Two Against Nature" or Quincy Jones "The Dude"), I can fall in love with it sonically then fall in love with the individual songs later. Strange, huh? Ed Not at all. I happen to think those are two pretty special lps as well. ;D And as long as you cna still find enjoyment in the songs.............then its okay I guess. ;D ;D |

Oh, I do...LOL! Just don't try to go to a concert with me. I can't help but pick out mistakes and, even if when I try not to point them out, they register on my face when I hear them. My mother made that mistake exactly once and she regretted it within the first 10 minutes. My father is a session pianist and he does the same thing so he can handle me but my mom could not. She did not have the ears that my father and I have. Poor thing...LOL!

I know exactly what you're talking about, Ed. ;D I don't know if it's something unique that musicians/artists share or if it's more of a personality trait, but I do know I see and hear things differently than other people. It's like we observe sights and sounds through the full color spectrum -- differentiating between even the slightest variances of tint or shade -- and other folks just see and hear in shades of gray. They're probably much happier people. It can really suck seeing the imperfections in everything all the time. Like ABA said, it's as much a curse as it is a blessing in some respects, but I'm not sure I'd like the alternative any better.  How 'bout you? |

In Mark Twain's LIFE ON THE MISSISSIPPI, he describes knowing the Mississippi River as a pilot in that fashion. An artist might find the river romantic while a pilot sees the dangers.
He compares it to a doctor who sees a beautiful girl with rosy cheeks. All he can think of is tuberculosis.

If I had a nickel for every time someone said "Stop being so critical and just enjoy the music!", I'd be a very rich man. LOL! Care to guess what I did before I was an audio engineer? As a teenager, I did camera work and editing for an Arlington Education Television in Northern Virginia. Doing that has rendered me equally perceptive (or is that irritating?) when it comes to video editing. LOL!! I'm just all messed up, aren't I? I agree wholeheartedly that those that don't sense these inadequacies are probably somewhat happier. I am happy that my eyes and ears work the way they do and I've learned to live with them. We get along very well and I wouldn't have it any other way...  Ed |

"For Lovers Only" is the long awaited Part 2 to "In A Mellow Mood". As a matter of fact, they were going to call it "In A Mellow Mood, II" or "In A Mellow Mood-'95"
Both of those are the absolute best the Temptations can offer.

Mellow Mood is my All time favorite....((YEAH YEAH everybody lets give it up for Mllow Mood)) its classy and the vocals are sharp, perfect, and flow like silk. I have never been into the "standards" but I can't get enough of it. Oh I know what it is its FLAWLESS.. I feel the same about F.L.O I think no one can sing those songs as well as those guys on those 2 LP's.... Perfection

I love the whole mellow mood album the songs make me feel so relaxed and calm I was lovin it. these are my faves:
1. Hello Young Lovers
2. A Taste Of Honey
3. For Once In My Life
7. Try To Remember
8. Who Can I Turn To (When Nobody Needs Me)
11. With These Hands
12. The Impossible Dream
For Lovers Only I haven't heard it & I probably will never hear it. After 1971 I don't like the group....
