Name that Tune

[Human without the bean]

Let me take the round then.   Gordon Lightfoot's "If You Could Read My Mind" reached # 1 in Canada's singles chart in 1970.  It reached # 5 in U.S. Billboard top 100 and reached #30 in U.S. singles.  It reached # 1 in U.S. Easy Listening (billboard).  I never expected for this not be guessed, but currently it is just a couple of us playing in this thread.

I've had it to here
Bein' where love's a small word
Part-time thing
Paper ring

I know it's been done
Havin' one girl who'll loves you
Right or wrong
Weak or strong

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Here we go again.

[Human without the bean]

Melinda was mine 'til the time
That I found her
Holding Jim
And loving him
Then Sue came along, loved me strong
That's what I thought
Ya, me and Sue
But that died too

 

I've had it to here
Bein' where love's a small word
Part-time thing
Paper ring
I know it's been done
Havin' one girl who'll loves you
Right or wrong
Weak or strong

Bingo.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Didn't you love the things that they stood for?
Didn't they try to find some good for you and me?
And we'll be free
Someday soon, it's gonna be one day.

What a tribute song.  I think its along the same lines as American Pie and Don McLean.  Impactful songs.

Correct.  It was Dion's only big hit after the early 60's.

I guess "King of the New York Streets" doesn't count?   (1989)

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Not familiar with that one.  He recorded a lot of good songs after AM&J, but none that received significant airplay (at least not in my neighborhoods).

Perhaps that one got a lot more airplay over the New York streets.

Human's turn.

[Human without the bean]

Again, sorry, I cleared up some memory on my computer and by doing so, I couldn't log back in automatically and it took some time to find my way back in.  So, tune, tune, tune, oh, oh, oh okay.

"Shadows of a golden age
A generation waits for dawn
Brave carry on
Bold and the strong"

[Human without the bean]

Another night in any town
You can hear the thunder of their cry
Ahead of their time
They wonder why

"Shadows of a golden age
A generation waits for dawn
Brave carry on
Bold and the strong"

Title of the song
They're free to fly away
Sharing the same desire
Burnin' like wildfire

They're seein' through the promises
And all the lies they dare to tell
Is it heaven or hell?
They know very well

Think Madonna

[Human without the bean]

Okay same group, but a different song and don't think Madonna.

Highway run
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You're on my mind
Restless hearts
Sleep alone tonight
Sendin' all my love
Along the wire

[WordWolf]

That's, um, Journey with "Forever Yours Faithfully."

(Mrs Wolf is a Journey fan. I needed to picture her music collection to get the artist's name. I'm not 100% sure on the title.)

[Human without the bean]

It's just "Faithfully", yes by Journey.  The other Journey song before, with the Madonna comment I made, was a song from the soundtrack of the Matthew Modine, Linda Fiorentino movie "Vision Quest" song titled "Only the Young" but if you had seen the movie you would probably recognize Madonna doing a cameo, singing in a restaurant/ bar "Crazy For You".  She was relatively unknown at the time in 1983, having only released her first album.

You're up WordWolf.

"Tricks with cards, are easy to do. And tricks with hearts will cast a spell on you."

"I will stop your frowns, and turn them upside down, 'cause I'll be around, to hold ya near.
If your heart is broken, bring it to me.  With a wave, I'll mend it, ooo, you'll see baby."

"On stage and lights, I'll dazzle your eyes, and later on that night, I'll make you realize"

[Human without the bean]

I thought I was getting familiar with it but the more lines added seem to take me further away.

[WordWolf]

Ok  changing songs.  I'm surprised this song isn't better-known. I know it got plenty of airplay.

Moving on.

"And I fell asleep and dreamed
I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie
And that I was the star of the movie
This really blew my mind, the fact that me,
an overfed, long-haired leaping gnome
should be the star of a Hollywood movie"
