Favorite Paula Cole song

[bertha katzenengel]

Mine? "Bethlehem" (thread inspired by WinkyDink's post in "hometown photos" thread)

Quarry miners, fishermen
In my town of Bethlehem
Picket fences, church at ten
No star above my Bethlehem

sad and sweet

Your fave?

1. I think I only ever heard that one that got some radio play a few years ago.

[Iggo]

2. Yeah. Me, too.

It was the theme song for some TV show that was on right after Buffy. "I don't wanna wait" for someone else to find the remote control 'cause I don't wanna watch....Dawson's Creek, maybe?

3. "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone" - her biggest hit, I think

also "I Am So Ordinary" and as Iggo has said, "I Don't Wanna Wait"

[MrCoffee]

4. Yes...the Cowboys song. That's the one I was thinking of.

Thanks!

6. I like all of those as well - love her voice

probably the cowboys one... they used to play a lot of her songs on our alt radio here.



hey, have you heard the new Jackson Browne CD yet?

9. I will never be a Cole fan because of that song.

Partly because it was so overplayed. Also because its annoyingly unrealistic. You know where the cowboy is? He's on the trail, gone for months at a time and visiting whore houses while you're alone at home. That's what real cowboys do. Talk about unrealistic expectations.

10. Holy shit was that song awful

She could hereafter put out the best song in the history of the universe, and I'd still say "yeah, but she had that cowboy song."

And I'm not thrilled with the other one, in which she says "say a little prayer for I."

WTF!?!

5. anyone else?

:kick:

7. The only album I own of hers is "This Fire" - hard to choose a favorite

I think she is very talented and highly UNDERRATED.

I do love the song Mississippi- heard a great live version of it on the Lilith Fair CD.

8. "I don't want to wait"

and when I am feeling particularly unhappy with my husband..."Where have all the cowboys gone"
