The Airportline: Observations

The 23rd of March 2005 I made a mix-cd to my sister with the somewhat mushy and melodramatic title From One Heart To Another. It consisted of 15 songs with motivations. The forthcoming 15 Saturdays I will present one of these songs per week, with the motivations translated into English. The songs will be accompanied by a yotubelink where possible so that you always have a song I thought was great in March of 2005 to listen to as you begin the weekend. Several of these songs are still personal favorites. Today I present song number 1:

Josh Rouse – Sad Eyes (the video is an interview with Josh Rouse where he plays the song acoustically in between some talk, all is in English except for first minute.)

From his album Nashville. A spracely orchestrated song which leads into an amazing soul chorus, one of the best songs Josh has made and the clear high point on this album. The end, where the song changes into a white mans soul anthem would even make Solomon Burke impressed.
