In a world where so many souls merely exist at the surface level.

Those of us who connect deeply often drown in the shallows.

Our love story was what legends are made from a pure friendship a real romance the best of both worlds laughter and kisses the fervor of passion with bite marks and bruised lips holding hands and fingertips pressed against flesh the thrill of being alive our souls stained with eternity and sweet poetry. A love like nothing you've ever experienced before or ever will again… except with me.

HAPPY HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY ALEX CHILTON + SATURDAY MATINEE MUSIC VIDEO: “Soul Deep” – A Salute to The Box Tops, Alex Chilton, & Memphis Bubblegum Soul https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0PeiKGpEsQ ... ...“Soul Deep” came out when I was 12 years old. When this song came on the radio it wrapped me up in a safe and happy zone. The definitive version is by The Box Tops, whose classic line-up launched out of Memphis in 1967. Barely out of high school, they charted big with “The Letter” (Alex was 16) and “Cry Like a Baby.” Their sound has been called “bubblegum soul” as they mixed classic soul covers with psychedelic rock (covering “Whiter Shade of Pale”) and songs written by their producers Dan Penn, Spooner Oldham, and Chips Moman. “Soul Deep” was their last Top 10 hit in 1969 before they abruptly broke up due to constant ill-treatment from their managers (who cranked out a fake Box Tops for a couple of years). Vocalist Alex Chilton went on to become a legend. He formed the influential power pop band Big Star, then embarked on a tempestuous solo career, occasionally performing Box Tops songs and oddball covers (like Brian Wilson’s “Solar System”). He produced The Cramps his career intersected with Cheap Trick, The dbs, Tav Falco’s Panther Burns, REM, and other notables. The Box Tops did reunions over the years. Sadly, Alex died in 2010, but members of the original band are carrying on.

“Soul Deep” was written by Wayne Carson Thompson, who also wrote “The Letter,” “Neon Rainbow,” and “Always on my Mind.” “Soul Deep” has been covered by Eddy Arnold (charted in 1970), Gary U.S. Bonds (charted in 1982), Canadian soulsters Robbie Lane & The Disciples (who did it first), Roberta Flack, and The Gin Blossoms…and now you have my version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0PeiKGpEsQMeanwhile, Happy Heavenly Birthday Alex.

Spiteful Summer

Spiteful summer,

Such a warm season you are, yet again, you highlight the cold around my body, my soul.

As I look at my trembling hands mourning the warmth of the sun, I hear laughter.

Oh such a nice sound, such a joyous season you are!

But, if so joyous...

Why are my sunken cheeks caressed so lovingly not by your warmth but my eyes?

The salty water keeps burning my fragile skin as I stare at the dim light from my dark room.

All I hear is joy around me but why is my heart so empty?

Where have you hidden my spark?

Why do you keep stealing it?

Tho I seek the tender hug of my bed, so comforting it took my shape, I still seek your attention, begging like a forgotten dog.

Am I still not worth of it?

Of your warmth?

Your joy?

Your fullness?

Oh, here it comes!

how I still love the dear Winter!

Such silence, such familiar feelings.

Their faces matches mine, it's like a dream to me.

It feels like home everytime.

Yet...

As much as I love it, I still yearn for you Summer, I grief, I tug at my chest whenever I feel you coming.

My eyes burn, my nails dig in my flesh, and the cold never leaves.

Why are you still so cruel to me?

We were soul deep in love our souls loved one another long before we ever knew this was a once in a lifetime love. One we cannot undo.

[ojoss-degato]

Te lo llevaste todo, me dejaste vacía y me reprochas que no tengo nada para darte, mi amor, si te lo di todo, ya no hay nada mas en mí no tengo nada mas, el dia en el que me rompiste y te llevaste mis esperanzas, ese día ya no me quedó nada, que puedo darte ahora amor? Si mi alma es un cascarón, me arranque todo lo que tengo para tí y en otra vida lo volveria hacer, te daría mi vida.

June 26th - What the blues is for

It’s June 26th, 2024; We have a hot new original blues song. I love the way Bubba Hudson sings this rockin’ blues tune. A radio-ready original full of guitar and piano work that Steven Cooper put together in the studio for us in Nashville, TN. We couldn’t be more pleased with the production quality of this pro demo. Velvet glove Here’s the one-hundred-seventy-eighth new music post for 2024, as…

March 28th Playlist

This being the final program for the month of March and that month being Women's History Month, it seemed appropriate to feature some fab soul and rhythm and blues by female artists, including a trio of tunes by "Lady Soul" herself, Aretha Franklin. I've had this 2 CD collection of rare and unreleased material from her in the collection for years, and sadly have rarely given it a complete listen. So we try and rectify that right off the top. On Side B, we got stuff from those crazy "Stompin'" collections, the "East Side Story" compilations from East L.A. and more, great soulful vocals and mid-tempo grooves galore..

Side A Howling at the Moon-Hank Williams Fool on the Hill-Aretha Franklin You're All I Need-Aretha Franklin Lean on Me-Aretha Franklin Misty Blue-Dorothy Moore Gonzo-James Booker I'll Try-Carol Fran You'd Better Find Another Fool-Lavern Baker I'm Gonna Play the Honky Tonks-Marie Adams

Side B Topless-Roll Royce and the Wheels So Tough-Original Casuals Tell Me Why-Norman Fox and the Rob Roys What Can I Do?-Donnie Elbert It's the Way Nature Planned It-Four Tops Dedicated to the One I Love-Temprees I Want to Pay You Back-Chi-Lites I Guess that Don't Make Me a Loser-Brothers of Soul Everlasting Love-Carl Carlton
