Ain't that just the way - Lutricia McNeal

[my-chaos-radio]

Release: January 1, 1997

Lyrics:

(Ain't that just the way that life goes down, down, down, down

Movin' way too fast or much too slow)

He was a very special warm and gentle person

Who put in music in the world and spoken in rhyme

And it hurts me that I never really knew him

'Cause all it would have taken was some time

You know he always seemed to be there when I stumbled

And when mountains got to steep for me to climb

And it tears me up to think I never touched him

'Cause all it would have taken was some time

Ain't that just the way that life goes

Down, down, down, down

Movin' way too fast or much too slow

Gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down

Gettin' no- no- nowhere

But not gettin' into someone I should know

Now he's in another place and I can't reach him

And I feel as though I'm guilty of a crime

I took all he had to give and gave him nothin'

And all it would have taken was some time

Ain't that just the way that life goes

Down, down, down, down

Movin' way too fast or much too slow

I'm gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down

Gettin' no, no, nowhere

But not gettin' into someone I should know

Ain't that just the way that life goes

Down, down, down, down

Movin' way too fast or much too slow

I'm gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down

Gettin' no, no, nowhere

But not gettin' into someone I should know

I'm gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down

Gettin' no, no, nowhere

I'm gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down

Gettin' no, no, nowhere

I'm gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down

Gettin' no, no, nowhere

I'm gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down

Gettin' no, no, nowhere

Ain't that just the way that life goes

Down, down, down, down

Movin' way too fast or much too slow

I'm gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down

Gettin' no, no, nowhere

But not gettin' into someone I should know

The Lightning Seeds - You Showed Me 1996

"You Showed Me" is a song written by Gene Clark and Jim McGuinn of the Byrds in 1964. It was recorded by the Turtles and released as a single at the end of 1968, becoming the group's last big hit in the US. The song has also been covered or partially incorporated into other songs by a number of other acts over the years, including Salt-N-Pepa and Lutricia McNeal. In 1996, the song was covered in a trip hop style by British alternative rock band the Lightning Seeds and released as a single. It was originally intended to be a B-side to their previous single, "What If…", and utilises loops and samplers from the Turtles original. The song became one of the Lightning Seeds' most successful chart releases reaching No. 8 in the UK. By the time the single was released, drummer Chris Sharrock had left the band to join Robbie Williams' backing group, and new percussionist Zak Starkey took his place in its music video. Additionally, it peaked at No. 4 in Iceland and No. 42 on the Eurochart Hot 100. It was also included on the soundtrack to the 1997 film Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. It recieved 70,6% total yes votes!

Today's compilation:

KissFM Flashback: Best of Love 1998 R&B / Adult Contemporary / Pop / Soul / Arena Rock / Pop-Rock

Funny thing about this pretty anodyne and somewhat random assortment of love songs from the Warner Elektra Atlantic catalogue that span between the late 70s and late 90s is that, had you not recognized the radio station logo that's on this album's cover, you'd probably have no idea that this was actually a Finnish release. And that seems to be because of two intertwined things: one, naming your radio station Kiss FM is like the equivalent of naming your American town Springfield; like, I'm pretty sure it's the most popular name for a radio station in the entire world, which also makes it the most generic. And because it's the most generic name for a radio station, it also then makes sense that its own tracklist would not provide a single clue as to where this particular Kiss FM station itself was actually located.

Which I guess just also goes to show how generic the market was overall for one of those hit European radio stations that played a mix of 'the hits from yesterday and today' in the late 90s, because not a single song on this release is actually Finnish-made itself, which would definitely lead you to think that it's not actually Finnish when it so totally is! 

But all that said, despite there not being anything to actually individualize this comp from any other similarly-scoped Euro comp out there, this thing nevertheless still manages to kick itself off with a pair of my all-time favorite big hits of 1996: the terrific Todd Terry remix of Everything But the Girl's "Missing," which was not just undoubtedly that year's single biggest commercial house hit, but was one of its biggest radio hits, period, too; and British one-hit wonder Donna Lewis' dreamy and ever-so-soft disco-pop-slow-dance smash, "I Love You Always Forever," which subtly built up all this tension with an unwavering bassline chug that smacked of the stuttering opening seconds from Survivor's own "Eye of the Tiger," and then suddenly released it all with a much louder and very catchy bridge that was outfitted with some handclaps and sharp, rich, and powerful keyboard chords. Sounds like a ballad that Cyndi Lauper might've made had she been born a decade later, and to that same end, a really lovely tune.

And another thing you might be interested in is that if you wanna hear iconic Swedish teen pop producer Max Martin's signature mid-to-late 90s sound applied to something before he managed to launch the Backstreet Boys into the stratosphere himself, there's Papa Dee's euro-reggae-pop cover of P.P. Arnold's "The First Cut Is the Deepest," which has that same smack-clappy backbeat sound that would define much of BSB's own output. Not gonna say that I particularly enjoy this song at all, but it's still intriguing to hear the Martin sound on something else prior to BSB.

And lastly, we have Lutricia McNeal's largely forgotten cover of Barbi Benton's "Ain't That Just the Way." If you dig that softly bouncy, hip hop-laced contemporary R&B sound of the mid-to-late 90s that made the careers of people like Mary J. Blige, Brandy, and Monica, this Oklahoma City native who ended up launching her career in Sweden and scoring this hit there is a good one too. After hitting big in Europe, "Ain't That Just the Way" crossed over here into the States and achieved moderate success as well, and while it never ended up earning itself the Grammy-winning plaudits of something like The Fugees' Lauryn Hill-led cover of Roberta Flack's own Grammy-winning "Killing Me Softly with His Song," I happen to think that the two tunes dovetail pretty perfectly with each other as 1996 R&B companions 👍.

So, a pretty lame Finnish comp of love songs with most of a selection that could fool anyone into thinking that it actually came from any one of a number of stations named Kiss FM in America instead, but nevertheless, some great intercontinentally popular hits from 1996 on here anyway 😌.

Highlights:

Everything But the Girl - "Missing (Todd Terry remix)" Donna Lewis - "I Love You Always Forever" Simply Red - "If You Don't Know Me By Now" Lutricia McNeal - "Ain't That Just the Way" Mr. Big - "To Be With You" Damn Yankees - "High Enough"

Lutricia Mcneal - Ain't That Just The Way, ph. Mikeadelica [1996]

[dendre]

Barbi Benton: Ain’t That Just The Way (1975)

Mitől nem lesz sláger egy sláger? Jó, Svédországban sláger lett az amerikai Playboy-modell-színész-énekes eredetileg kislemez B-oldalra szánt dala (soha nem jelent meg nagylemezen a hazájában, csak egy svéd verzióra került rá), de máshol miért nem? Nyilván már évekkel vagyunk a Carpenters szoftpop-csúcs után is, ez épp ciki, de a slágerré tevő népet az pont nem érdekli. Svédországban nem érdekelte. Pont perfekt dal. 

A szintén amerikai Lutricia McNeal 1996-ban Svédországban (ott ért el sikereket a helyi Rob’n’Raz producerpárossal) előveszi a dalt és újra slágert csinál belőle a skandinávoknak, ami azért lényegesen észrevehetőbb Európában és a világban is (elfogyott belőle 2 millió), Magyarországon is slágerként emlékezünk rá, de ez egy olyan világsláger, amelyik a 63. helyet érte el az amerikai kislemezlistán. Ez is perfekt.
