TER General Board
The thing that bothers me about U2 is when Rolling Stone or whoever it was put The Edge in their top 10 for guitarists. That's just silly. They're a great band, but I am big on guitar playing so they're not really for me. I do like Pride and I Will Follow though.
One of the songs I feel I can relate the most to at times is Subdivisions by Rush. Great tune by a great band 
Many of their songs would fit the topic I think. Not necessarily that I can relate to, but many of their songs have deep messages/ideas.
I am speaking figuratively without consequences .
"Love the one you're with "
It's not my favorite song , it's my favorite thought .

"When you're down and confused
And you don't remember who you're talking to
Concentration slip away
Because your baby, is so far away
Well there's a rose in a fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love.. honey
Love the one you're with Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with Love the one you're with
Don't be angry don't be sad
Don't sit crying' over good times you had
There's a girl right next to you
And she's just waiting for something to do
And there's a rose in a fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love honey
Love the one you're with Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Do it do it do it
Love the one you're with love the one you're with
Love the one you're with love the one you're with
Turn your heartache right into joy
She's a girl and you're a boy
Get it together, make it tonight,
You ain't gonna need any more advice
And there's a rose in a fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love honey
Love the one you're with Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with Love the one you're with
Do it do it do it "
"Alone" by Heart. Always got by on my own and the realization that love makes us not want to be alone... yet to be ok with being alone is important.
"I Want to Learn To Waltz with You" by The Continental Drifters. Just about finding the perfect person.
"Closer" by Tegan and Sara. I like being closer, lol.
"You Give Love a Bad Name" by Bon Jovi. Just getting hurt in love.
"Sk8r Boi" by Avril Lavigne. Fits into my personality.
I will think of some more later... but thought I'd get it rolling....
Smooth upright bass..
Jamerson played both upright (like "Heat Wave") and electric. One right hand finger most of the time. It was called "the hook."
Bass is my instrument.
Ever see a documentary called "Standing in the Shadows of Motown?" Amazing.
Clapton became good friends with George Harrison, and then fell in love with George's wife, Patty Boyd. I guess it's considered the ultimate unrequited love ballad, though she did divorce George years later, and she married Clapton in 1979 (and divorced him in 1989).
She was pretty hot
