that theintroduction toBaby Sister sounds alot like the intro to Leonard Cohen's Famous Blue Raincoat? May be a stretch....

hey, someone just said that baby sister's leo cohen'ish last night! someone clever from here, dont remember who [img]smileys/smiley9.gif[/img]

yes a few people have said that...


same with a few of his songs as well


childish - bear neccesities


groovin - its a nina simone song i dont know the name of

y'know i was only thinkinn about that last night as i was drivin home listenin to famous blue raincoat.


weird!!!

we seem to have sort of suncronized our brains [img]smileys/smiley36.gif[/img]

weird!!!


i love the bear neccessities\childish vibe, it gives me free reign to break into one or the other when i sing either one.

It's "My Baby Just Cares For Me" and you can listen to a clip of it here.

Yes! I once posted about that on the other DR board (the evil one), asking if anyone else had noticed the similarity, but nobody ever responded, so I thought it was just all in my head.

yeah, i had been learning it (groovin) on guitar and then I was in a shop in town and the My Baby started playing - I was like "what the hell, they're playin Groovin'?". then I was like, "pfff, Damo stealing Nina's songs... tut tut tut".

I think it sounds the same aswell. Maybe thats why I think its Damo's poorest song. Although Famous Blue Raincoat is Leonard's greatest...

hm, i really do think baby sister is one of damien's most interesting songs - also lyrics wise. for once a song that's not about him being dumped by a girl [img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]

I think the style is similar but the mood is very different.


If you'd like me to be more vague i could possibly hit some random keys and post that.

I think I've read somewhere that Baby Sister was actually written for a short Irish film (the one he has a teeny tiny part in).

very true, it was for a film

ah yes, the one where they got him into a suit and tie [img]smileys/smiley36.gif[/img]

i was at a party and a girl was playing it on piano and me and a friend started singing grooving and she gave out to us saying thats not thel lyrics to the song[img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]

Bajaxed,


I got 41 seconds of pure silence from your Simone songlink.

Put your headphones on! [img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]





Sorry, couldn't resist! I dunno, it worked for me thro real-player. It's a link off the official Nina Simone website if you wanna try it from there. It's probably a codec problem on your version of real player tho.


I think either Patricia or sillycille has put links somewhere to an alternative to real player that doesn't have these problems - maybe they could help?
