> seventy sevens – “mt” from ‘sticks and stones’
One of the greatest bands you probably never heard of is the 77′s. They were and are a rare combination of legendary live performances and thought provoking lyrics. One of their best albums was Sticks and Stones
The album was not a proper studio release but was in the words of the liner notes
unreleased demos, dead dogs, weak sisters, failed experimentsand/or otherwise brilliant material(depending on your point of view) that never saw the light of day.”
One of my favorite songs from that album is MT
Lyrics to MT
Come on let me in
I swear I’ll be your only friend
And I will get down on my knees for you
And if I could
You know I would do anything at all
To get you near today
Hear me sayYou’re more than money
More than glory
More than I could ever hope to say
You’re more than beauty
More than mystery
More than now
More than yesterdayTake me to your heart
‘Cuz there is where we make it start
And I will get down on my knees for you
And pay the price
Sacrifice
Do anything at all to melt your soul on ice
RealizeYou’re more than money
More than glory
More than I could ever hope to say
You’re more than beauty
More than mystery
More than now
More than yesterdayMore than a lover
More than a friend
More than a talent
More than a trend
More than a mystery
More than a dance
More than your history
More than romance
More than your politics
More than your plans
More than a sure thing
More than a chance
More than your weakness
More than your strength
More than completeness
More than fragments

In the comments on this post considering songs of the heart Kim mentions the 77′s and Undercover.
This HAS to be one of my favorite albums of all time. It’s CLASSIC through and through.
Do you remember when 7&7 is was put out in and in the jewel case they asked you to mail in a shoe box for the liner notes?
My college Roomie and I did that.. Mike still remembers it to this day. We were one of the only ones to do it.
that is too funny!
i just looked at my copy and sure enough that is what it says
I thought the advance support request for “This Notes For You” was brilliant as well. My only disappointment is coming as the #2 producer begind another gentleman. Really bummed that I can’t make Cornerstone this year.
Despite all their great shows at C-Stone however, the best 77′s show I ever saw was at the Park West in Chicago, IL. Unfortuantely I knew the guy who jumped up on stage and kissed Mike.
That album is still great and certainly one of their best. They were really good at Cornerstone this year as well.
i agree it is classic! i would love to see the sevens again….
For a non-regular-album release, this is still one of my favorite all time 77 CDs. I love them all, but this one was one of my early purchases and still holds a dear place with me. The first three CDs are right there with this too. Every one of their releases is so unique in and of it self, they are always impressing me with each new release. I hope they continue putting out quality music for years to come.
