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 say

You’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 yesterday

Take 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
Realize

You’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 yesterday

More 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.

Family Force Five have an EP releasing soon. My guess is that it will be a digital only release. Here is the cover art. More at jesusfreakhideout.com

I wonder what Bud and Irma are up to these days?

Here is Sins of the Fathers

After my daughter saw that Thrice was on Conan O’Brien last night she said she had Eleventyseven’s song Conan stuck in her head. Maybe now you will too!
Listen to Conan

What were those lyrics
- Conan

I think I’m about to go off
Max Weinberg kicks the show off
Wit, charm and a devious smile
We’re gonna be here for a while tonight

He is the only guy we turn to
For our celebrity interviews
Red hair that’s never going anywhere
All I can do is sit and stare
Don’t bother me cause I don’t care tonight

Oh, Conan can’t you see
You’re the one for me?
Conan, don’t you know
You’re my late night TV hero?

I wish and hope and pray he might
Let me be a guest on the show tonight
Talking about anything and everything
Oh, golly how I want to be
A part of his hilarity tonight

And I don’t mean to sound like a jerk
But you’re the only show that still redeems your network

Oh, Conan can’t you see
We were meant to be?
Conan, don’t you know
You will always be my hero?

Here is Thrice performing Come All You Weary on Conan last night.

If you are a U2 fan you may have become a fan of the band with one of these releases for me it was War. I can still remember hearing the song Sunday Bloody Sunday following the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing. (For anyone who cares I was driving in my Chevette listening to a show called Skyline on WLAV FM)
Listen to Sunday Bloody Sunday

From U2.com

Boy, October, War: Remastered U2’s first three albums have been remastered and will be released by Universal on July 21st.

Following the remastered release of The Joshua Tree last year, Edge has overseen a similar remastering of Boy (1980), October (1981) and War (1983). All of which have been remastered from the original audio tapes.

Each album will be released as a standard single disc, a deluxe double version including a disc of b-sides, live tracks and rarities, and an LP version pressed on 180gm virgin vinyl.

The packaging on all three titles has been restored and expanded, with new liner notes for each record, previously unseen photos and full lyrics. More details as we get them.

P.O.D. will perform a song from their latest album ” When Angels and Serpents Dance” on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno 5/7/2008

Thrice performs “Come All You Weary” from the album Alchemy Index, Vol. 3 & 4: Air and Earth on Late Night with Conan O’Brien tonight. (5/5/200

Pretty amazing grace is what you showed me
Pretty amazing grace is who you are
I was an empty vessel
You filled me up inside
And with amazing grace
Restored my pride.

Pretty amazing grace is how you saved me
And with amazing grace, reclaimed my heart
Love in the midst of chaos
Calm in the heat of war
Showed with amazing grace
What love was for.

You forgave my insensitivity
And my attempt to then mislead you
You stood beside a wretch like me
And pretty amazing grace was all I needed.

Stumbled inside the doorway of your chapel
Humbled and awed by everything I found
Beauty and love surround me
Freed me from what I feared
Asked for amazing grace
And you appeared.

You overcame my loss of hope and faith
Gave me a truth I could believe in
You led me to a higher place
Showed your amazing grace
When grace was what I needed.

Look in a mirror I see your refection
Open a book you live on every page
I fall and you’re there to lift me
You share every road I climb
And with amazing grace
You ease my mind.

I came to you with empty pockets first
When I returned I was a rich man
Didn’t believe love could quench my thirst
But with amazing grace, you showed me that it can.

In your amazing grace I had a vision
From that amazing place, I came to be
Into the night I wandered, wandering aimlessly
Found your amazing grace to comfort me.

Pretty amazing
Pretty amazing
Pretty amazing
Pretty amazing
Pretty amazing
Pretty amazing
Pretty amazing
Pretty amazing

You overcame my loss of hope and faith
Gave me a truth I could believe in
You led me to that higher place
Showed me that love, and truth, and hope, and grace
Were all I needed.

My in-laws told my wife about this song and here is the video from American Idol
