There is no sax on "Meeting Across the River"- it's a trumpet.

Thanks for this :-)

Now listening to each track on Spotify x

:lol: So glad you took one for the team and pointed that out lol

"jim steinman is the best" i can't really argue with that :-)

To bad it's not on the US itunes.

I put the parts together before I posted it to Facebook, so I might as well post it here too :lol:

All that and the new album no where to be found on iTunes..... loverly

The one song I don't like on Meat's playlist is My Way.
It is without doubt my least favourite song EVER. I scream whenever I hear it.
Horrible horrible song. (IMO)

Ouch! Sorry, my jaw just hit the floor! Really?

Frank Sinatra didn't like the song for a number of years either, nor did he like Strangers In The Night - probably because they are fundamentally pretty simple songs. I don't dislike My Way, but it wouldn't even be in my top 50 Sinatra songs. For most people karaoke has ruined My Way.

OH ... lol ... Thanks for clearing that up... I read the word as "sex" ! ... Need new glasses or a cleaner mind ... rolling ... xo

OH and thanks for posting this... It was a fun read ... I think two of the songs are on my playlist ... Bob Seger's song and ... I forget the other for now ... lol ... OH ... FCOL ... of course... lol ... duh ... OH... so THREE are on my playlist... but I ... OH Eagles... okay ... there we go ... xo

I'm surprised to see Foo Fighters!

The album was on the front page of UK iTunes for 2 weeks.

It finally showed up on the US/CA itunes this morning. You have to run a search to find it though. There's barely been any promo, barely any effort by the record company.....Meat said he'd be happy if Sony US took care of him....I don't see that happening. Hopefully stuff happens in the next few days that changes things.

Hopefully Leno goes well, and there's some other goodies planned as well.

Indeed, little sign of anything Stateside. So much for Celebrity Apprentice raising his profile over there.

Undoubtedly the world would never have heard it had it remained Comme d'habitude (or 'As Usual') and Paul Anka hadn't rewritten the lyric to those of My Way.

I'm not sure whether it's only because of the changed lyrics. Would it have become that popular if the song hadn't been given to Sinatra?

Yes I mean that had it not been changed, I doubt it would have been recorded by Sinatra. Paul Anka penned the lyrics intending it for Sinatra. My Way as a lyric had that bravado about it very much synonymous with Sinatra.

I totally agree with that. I've heard renditions (even in other languages than English) that were clearly inspired by Sinatra and the performers - consciously or subconsciously - tried to be like him. No matter who sings it, in most cases it still seems to be his song.

Yes undoubtedly his song, no one sang it with such conviction. When he sang it live, especially in the first few years, he took a reasonably simple song and gave you chills. A great example of a studio version that pales in comparison to many a live version.

My Way without a doubt did more damage to Sinatra's career than good. People think they know him because of that one song. The majority of people would never give his great albums like 'Watertown', 'She Shot Me Down', 'Sings For Only The Lonely', and 'In The Wee Small Hours' even a chance because they think they know him through that one signature song that he didn't even like or connect with on a personal level. Sinatra himself said he thought it was an 'arrogant' song. If Sinatra thought it was arrogant...well....

There may be some artistic truth in that - Watertown was an incredibly powerful album, and sold very little - but it is one of the Sinatra canon that continues to keep his music relevant in the minds of young people. Only The Lonely was already a successful and widely celebrated album from 10 years earlier. Sinatra did hate the song to begin with but he warmed to it eventually according to comments he made in the 80s. There's no denying that he was great at it though.
