This is an amazing song by the one hit wonder Martika. This song talks about drug abuse and how people, like Toy Soldiers, blindly follow what others are doing without thinking of the consequences. Watch out for the subtle electric guitar playing in the background, especially the slide following the line "Won't you come out and play with me". Also check out the short but beautiful guitar solo.  Oh! And yes. Eminem sampled this in his song "Like Toy Soldiers". TOY SOLDIERS Martika Step by step Heart to heart Left right left We all fall down like toy soldiers It wasn't my intention to mislead you It never should have been this way What can I say It's true I did extend the invitation I never knew how long you'd stay When you hear temptation call It's your heart that takes, takes a fall Won't you come out and play with me CHORUS: Step by step Heart to heart Left right left We all f...

Whenever we think of Chris De Burgh, the song that invariably comes to mind is Lady In Red. Well, listen to his "Spanish Train". After that, you won't really listen to Lady In Red anymore. This amazing track is called Spanish Train. Incredible music... kettle drums... violins... guitars. Plus there's drama, mystery, intrigue. It's a truly operatic experience. And that ghostly, eerie whistle of the train at the end of the song is bound to give you goose bumps. Don't miss this one — and get set to forget all about that Lady In Red!   SPANISH TRAIN Chris De Burgh There's a Spanish train that runs between Quadalquivir and old Saville, And at dead of night the whistle blows, And people hear she's running still... And then they hush their children back to sleep, Lock the doors, upstairs they creep, For it is said that the souls of the dead Fill that train ten thousand deep!! Well a railwayman lay dying wi...

Dona Dona by Joan Baez. For those who haven't heard it, it's truly is a collector's item! Savour this masterpiece by a singer who continues to dominate the folk and country music scene even today. DONA DONA On a wagon bound for market There's a calf with a mournful eye. High above him there's a swallow Winging swiftly through the sky. How the winds are laughing They laugh with all their might Laugh and laugh the whole day through And half the summer's night. Dona dona dona dona Dona dona dona don Dona dona dona dona Dona dona dona don "Stop complaining," said the farmer, "Who told you a calf to be Why don't you have wings to fly away Like the swallow so proud and free?" How the winds are laughing They laugh with all their might Laugh and laugh the whole day through And half the summer's night. Dona dona dona dona Dona dona dona don Dona dona dona dona Dona dona dona ...

As you may or may not know, Alan Parsons of Alan Parsons Project wasn't a musician in the true sense of the word. He was primarily a Sound Engineer and worked on most of Pink Floyd's albums. His influence would show up somewhere or the other. After all, a significant portion of the "Floyd Flavour" (barring the guitars, of course) was created in the studio, during production and post-production. However, that didn't quite happen...Floyd had their own distinct sound, as did the Alan Parsons Project. Now here's a Pink Floyd track that one could, perhaps, point to as having a slight yet discernible Alan Parsons touch. It's a lesser known song called Julia Dream from the album Relics. It is a lovely song...very soothing melody...nice blending of acoustic guitars with the keyboards and other instruments. Here are the lyrics...and you will be excused if you can't figure out what they mean. It sounds like the ramblings of some Lunatic from the...
