Transcript

[Christian Lane]

97.1Fm the drive presents the behind the Song podcast, taking you deeper into classic rock's most timeless tunes. Here's your host, Janda.

[Janda]

I'm Janda. And tis the season for love songs. So I got together with my husband Christian Lane to talk about our top five classic rock love songs. Hi, Christian.

[Christian Lane]

Hey, Janda. So right off the bat, I just have to mention I gave myself a bit of a handicap in thinking about classic rock love songs because aren't like half of classic rock songs about love.

[Janda]

Anyway, so, sure, in some way. Yeah.

[Christian Lane]

So I went with classic rock love songs about real people.

[Janda]

Okay, I like that.

[Christian Lane]

Yeah. I mean, I'm sure I could have picked many other classic rock love songs, but this is the parameters I gave myself.

[Janda]

Okay. I did not necessarily go that route. I picked songs based entirely on how I felt about them. Okay, that's good.

[Christian Lane]

That's, I mean, that's really what music's all about, is your reaction and relationship to it.

[Janda]

So.

[Christian Lane]

Yeah. Good, good.

[Janda]

Well, would you like to start with number five on your list?

[Christian Lane]

I'm gonna go with the very obvious. Maybe I'm amazed by Mr. Paul McCartney. The topic of our most recent behind the song podcast. Maybe I'm amaz amazed with the way you love me all the time. It's the passion. I mean it's. First of all, I should mention it's about his wife, Linda.

[Janda]

So there's the real person. Yep.

[Christian Lane]

Yeah, you can refer to the podcast for the whole story. But you know, he was down and out and Linda propped him up and he was saying basically, I'm amazed. I can't believe I found this person. You mentioned the way it makes you feel. I mean, it gives me goosebumps when he's basically screaming his love at the top of his lungs for Linda. I, I just, I can't get enough of the performance. Either one, the one on McCartney or the live one.

[Janda]

Wings over America. Uh huh.

[Christian Lane]

Wings over America. Yeah, I just think it's one of the best. So I'm, I'm sorry that it's five, but I had to put it somewhere. So five it is.

[Janda]

You know, I, I'm really glad that you mentioned that one because I think we would be remiss if we didn't include maybe I'm amazed in, in this list of top classic rock love songs. And no doubt we will miss some because we're talking about, you know, five each. And as you mentioned, off the top there are so many. But I'm really glad that, that you came through with maybe I'm amazed for. For this list.

[Christian Lane]

I mean, if you don't mention it, what are we doing here? Okay, now you go.

[Janda]

Okay. So in position number five on my list of classic rock top love songs, I'm going with David Bowie, because, you know, I can't have any kind of a list without David Bowie in it, so I'm gonna work him in here no matter what. I'm gonna go with Heroes by Bowie.

[Christian Lane]

Just for one day.

[Janda]

And of course, I love the song because I'm a Bowie nerd, but it's also really interesting how this song came about. You know, they were recording the Heroes album, the Berlin trilogy, over in Berlin, and he spies out the window of the studio, which was right by the Berlin Wall, Tony Visconti, who, you know, Christian, kissing his girlfriend. As, you know, bullets were flying overhead, whether real or imaginary, you know, for the purposes of the song at that time. And that's what Bowie took from the moment. Sort of a love rising up in the face of oppression and, you know, with world against you, if you will. And I think that that's so much about what the beginning of a lot of love relationships feels like anyway. And it's perfectly encapsulated against a backdrop of world events. And the song became sort of like an arc for Bowie, a fan favorite for sure. And I just think it's cool to think that you can connect with someone on such a level that you can be heroes and overcome whatever's going on, you know, in. In your life, you know, with. With this relationship and this love that you feel for another person. So it made. It made it to number five on my list.

[Christian Lane]

Yeah, that studio that they were recording at was called Hansa by the Wall. I mean, it was literally by the Wall. And I think it's a great point, Janet, that you just made about the beginnings of love. And, you know, teenagers, especially, if you tell them, you know, don't see that person, oh, my goodness, are they going to dig their heels in even more? If you give. If you give young love something to rebel against. Yeah, that. It gives me that feeling of, you know, like we're going to dig in even more and love each other even harder. And I love it. Great pick, Janet. Great pick.

[Janda]

I knew you would approve of that one. What about you? What's number four on your list?

[Christian Lane]

Number four? Let's go with something by George Harrison and, well, the Beatles, but George Harrison wrote it for Patty, for Pattie Boyd, his wife, soon to be, not wife. Janda. You've covered that with Layla and, you know, there was. I don't know if you call it a love triangle going on with Eric Clapton, but it got a little sticky and messy. But this song, to me, I love it because he's mystified. George seems very mystified by this person and by this love that he has for her.

[Janda]

Something in the way she moves.

[Christian Lane]

Something in the way she moves. I mean, it's just one of the most beautiful. It's just so simple and so beautiful. And about this song written by George Harrison, Frank Sinatra said Something is the greatest love song written by Lennon and McCartney.

[Janda]

He got that part wrong, but he got the rest of it right. Wow.

[Christian Lane]

So that's my number four. I'm sure so much has been said about it before, but like I said, I like the sort of mystic quality of it, you know, love as a spirit. Love is something that imbues your spirit and raises you up above the messy world. So Something by George Harrison.

[Janda]

I think the reason that Something would land on a lot of people's lists, I would be willing to wager when you're talking about love songs, is because he was able to describe that feeling, that sort of unfathomable feeling that you have about why it is that you feel love towards someone. You know, sometimes you don't know what it is. You. You have no idea. It's just. It's just something mystical and magical. They say that the two things that stay with you the longest in terms of memories are music and smells. So he really got to the bottom of that unknowable feeling when you. When you know that you're head over heels with someone.

[Christian Lane]

I would just be interested to see what anybody else thinks of that. Drop us a line and let us know. So that's my wrap on that. Janda, I'm curious now, throwing it back to you for number four.

[Janda]

Number four on my list. This should be as no surprise to you, Christian, or to anybody who listens to my radio show. You know I love me some Dire Straits. So for number four, I chose Dire Straits so Far Away. I love how that song comes at you lyrically because, you know, I'm a huge lyrics person. It starts out, here I am again in this mean old town and you're so far away from me and where are you when the sun go down? You're so far away from me. Now obviously, this is Mark Knopfler who's on the road touring and is away from his person and is writing about that, boiled down to the raw essence of it. If you've ever had to spend any time from someone that. That you're in a relationship with because of work, basically, or circumstance, you know, distance and time apart and how you don't want to be there. And I just. I love how he distilled that down and further. I love. In this song, he brings me back in this day and age to those times when you would spend hours on the phone with someone that you were in a relationship with. You know, it was all about the phone calls and, you know, not ending the calls. And, you know, you hang up. No, you hang up. You hang up. No, you hang up. He covers that when the lyrics go, I'm tired of making out on the telephone because you're so far away from me.

[Christian Lane]

I'm tired of making out on the telephone.

[Janda]

You know, I mean, that's something that if you came up during a certain time, you spent time on the phone with someone that you cared about. It reminds me of that, of, like, those simpler days in general. And not for nothing, I love his guitar work on this song, too. I just think this is a really great. I'm separated from somebody that I care about a whole lot song. And it made it to number four because, you know, those can tend to get a little sappy, you know, but somehow or another, this. This one's still cool.

[Christian Lane]

You picked a really good one. As far as, you know, that trick right there of distilling things down, and you're right, it's. It's a slippery slope. When you were reading those lyrics, it reminded me of a poet named Delmore Schwartz, who actually was a teacher of Lou Reed. And the thing that Lou Reed did. Took from him is take away everything that's superfluous, get rid of everything that doesn't matter, boil it down, get it down to, you know, distill it down to the least amount of words possible, and that will be the truest connection, and that will cut through the most. And Knopfler killed it on this one. I mean, you're so right. I really can picture those things with an economy of words. I can picture every scene that he's laying out for us. It's. That's a really good one, Janda. Nice one.

[Janda]

Thank you. All right, back to you. Song number three on your list.

[Christian Lane]

Song number three for me. I'm going with the Rolling Stones classic written by Keith Richards. Angie. It's pretty well documented. It's about Anita Pallenberg, who I. I suppose was his wife. It's. It's always been a little unclear to Me, if they actually got married, someone, not me. Someone said at some point that instead of saying Angie, Angie, he should have been saying Anita, Anita. And that makes perfect sense to me because to me, this is a love song. But it's also commiseration. It's desperate. It's sort of painting them as vagabonds, which I think at the time, they kind of were even from the Rolling Stones. They were a little bit on the outside at that point. Yeah, commiseration. That's what I hear in Angie. And, you know, and Mick Jagger channeling his friend. He really channels that clinging and how they're clinging to each other. And you cling to a love when you're desperate. So, yeah, number three, Angie or Anita, as it were. So, Janda, I just talked about desperate love for my number three. What is your number three?

[Janda]

My number three is a super sweet song.

[Christian Lane]

Thank goodness.

[Janda]

I am going with Fleetwood Mac songbird, written by Ms. Christine McVie, a song that will absolutely make me cry almost quicker than any other.

[Christian Lane]

This is true for you.

[Janda]

There be no more cry. I find it so Lovely that Christine McVie's maiden name was Christine Perfect, because I think that her voice was perfect. I loved how she was the glue in. In a very, very chaotic Fleetwood Mac. Her. Her piano playing is excellent or was excellent. And when she wrote this song Songbird, I mean, you know, and the songbirds are singing like they know the score. And I love you, I love you, I love you like never before. I mean, something about the songbirds are singing like they know the score. I mean, you assume that the songbirds are singing a happy song, but you could almost as easily turn that on its head in your imagination and hear the songbirds singing a sad song. Like, if it wasn't going to work.

[Christian Lane]

Out, I fear that they're hearing a sad song. But I like that you hear potentially a happy song, because I'd rather think of it in that way.

[Janda]

It's just so sweet, and it's heartbreaking, actually. Yeah. When she put those lines together, she covered off on the entire range of emotions, no matter where you could be coming from in a relationship. And that is the pure genius of a great, great songwriter. And Christine McVie certainly was one. So I had to put her at number three on my list on an album, by the way, that's filled with all different kinds of love songs. I mean, we're going to talk about running the gambit in the old Peyton Place. That was Fleetwood Mac in 1977 when rumors was released. I mean, just about every single song on that album is about love in some way or another. To your point at the beginning of this episode, Christian. But songbird by Christine McVie stands out so much in a sea of really wonderful songs.

[Christian Lane]

She became the Songbird. It became her theme song.

[Janda]

Yeah.

[Christian Lane]

I mean it, you know, to the point where she was known as Songbird. That's. That is incredibly effective.

[Janda]

Yeah.

[Christian Lane]

Well, coming out of your Fleetwood Mac, I'm going to go right into my Fleetwood Mac. You make love and fun off the same album.

[Janda]

Yeah.

[Christian Lane]

Completely different take on love. And in keeping with, you know, my songs about real people. This is a song about lighting director Curry Grant. Yeah. Wonderfully monikered Curry Grant.

[Janda]

Yeah.

[Christian Lane]

Her name was Christine. Perfect. She married John McVie. She was Christine McVie. They were in the band together, as you mentioned. Quite the patent place over there. She starts having an affair with the lighting director to the point where she falls in love and they become an item. And this song, you make love and fun. To me, it's a wonderful love song about the first throes of love. It even sounds like the. You know, it's the music. Everything sounds like the first throws of love. It's really nice. It's exciting, and it's fun, and it's sexy. But then I think about her saying this to Curry Grant while Her husband, John McVeigh, is playing bass. You, Curry Grant, make love and fun. John McVie, thanks for playing bass on this song. It was very serviceable. Bass part. I mean, that band was harsh. They were harsh. They, you know, singing disses to each other on stage. It's incredible. But I. It doesn't take away from the fact that it's a really fun, upbeat, poppy love song about new love and. And who doesn't love new love? Everybody does.

[Janda]

Yeah. I mean, what a good point. I mean, God, you had to be so tough to be in Fleetwood Mac back in the day. I'm sure that many a psychiatrist's couch has been filled by. By the seat of a Fleetwood Mac member. If I may, I wonder if they.

[Christian Lane]

Just had shrinks on spot speed dial.

[Janda]

I think they had something on speed dial, but I don't know if it was a psychiatrist, but. But, yeah. What a great song. And again, showing the range on Christine McVie's songwriting talents in a band full of great songwriters. Of course, Stevie Nicks was amazing as a songwriter and had, you know, plenty of great songs from. From that album and from those sessions herself. I'll. I'll point out Silver Springs, which is a great Song that didn't make it to the album. And Lindsey, of course, a great songwriter. It still stands out and it still covers off on, like, that optimistic feeling of new love, for sure. All right, number two on my list is about a song that I would defy anyone to come up with a better tune. A love song about forgiveness. And that is the great Leon Russell, A song for you. He's a musical genius. I would think. Absolutely, on his debut album that A song for you is from who wasn't on it. Eric Clapton played on it, George Harrison played on it. Ringo Starr played on it. Everybody admired Leon Russell because he was so musical, I think, you know, and other musicians would sort of like, chime with that and like moth to a flame, you know, around his musical light and just a quirky dude. And somehow or another, he could wrestle the lyrics out of something in a completely different way and say something, all the while playing, you know, this beautiful piano. That was different. Maybe it's a piano player thing. I think Warren Zevon had those qualities too. But the lines that kill me on Leon Russell's A Song for you, when he sings I love you in a place where there's no space or time. I love you for my life. You're a friend of mine. And when my life is over. Remember when we were together, we were alone and I was singing this song to you.

[Christian Lane]

Wow.

[Janda]

I would just. I would just say to. To anyone, just keep this song handy when you need to feel feelings or when you need to touch something, you know, that's hard to get to, whether you have a person in mind or not. Just this song is such a behemoth in terms of. Of putting into words something that. That we mere mortals, you know, find trouble saying. I would say. Yeah, that's why it's my number two love song of all time. Leon Russell, A song for you.

[Christian Lane]

Ah, that is so strong. I. I don't. I almost don't have anything to say about it. It's just. Listen to it. It's just like you said, if you need to feel something, put it on and it'll do it. It'll take you there. He's incredibly underrated. Made everyone around him look good, which I think is part of why people wanted to be around him. And. Yeah, what a great pick, Janda. I hope people. I envy people who may be going to listen to it for the first time. Yeah, Great pick.

[Janda]

Me too. I have that same envy. Okay, what about you? Song number one from Christian.

[Christian Lane]

Okay. Song number one by one of my favorite Singer, songwriters, it's funny to call him that. By John Lennon. The ultimate song about real person and name checked in the title. Oh, Yoko by John Lennon, about Yoko Ono. You know, when you're in the biggest band, you know, we talked about the Stones being the biggest band. The Beatles had broken up at that point. That's why the Beatles were the biggest band in the world. And rather than continue being a Beatle, John wanted some autonomy, and he fell in love with an artist named Yoko Ono. And that was what he was doing from that point on. He was loving Yoko, and he expresses it to the world. So it's in no uncertain terms. And I think that's bold and courageous and also really sweet. And the song sounds like a daydream. You know, it sounds like you're laying in a grassy field with a cool breeze and you're having a daydream about the person you love. So for those reasons, it is my number one love song.

[Janda]

People have trashed on Yoko Ono for. For a long, long time. But the fact is she. She was the. The love and the center of his life. I think that he understood her, and that's all that matters. And so the rest of us, it doesn't really matter if we could understand why John Lennon loves Yoko Ono or not, because he could, and he 100% did. It must have felt like a daydream to him to meet her and to have felt that artistic freedom from her when he'd been in the constraints of the Beatles and so on and so forth when they first got together. Anyway, so I like it. I like it.

[Christian Lane]

So we got to get to your number one pick, Janda.

[Janda]

All right, my top number one love song of all time is by the Beach Boys. God only knows.

[Christian Lane]

Incredible. That that's a number one.

[Janda]

This song almost doesn't even seem like it's from the earth, you know, I mean, here you have Brian Wilson and Tony Asher, which Tony Asher was basically like a copywriter and a jingle writer who got together with Brian Wilson and ended up collaborating on this song and many other Beach Boys songs. You know, Carl Wilson sang it, but it's the music of Brian Wilson, you know, those. Those intricate, you know, patterns that he put together out of his very musical mind along with these lyrics. I mean, who in the world comes up with lyrics like this? Especially back in 1966, when at the time, it was taboo to even have the word God in a song. Like, you just didn't do that, you know, unless it was a religious song or something like that. But here's the Beach Boys, you know, coming out with this song, God Only Knows on Pet Sounds. When. When the lyrics go, I may not always love you, but long as there are stars above you, you never need to doubt it. I'll make you so sure about it. God only knows what I'd be without you.

[Christian Lane]

I mean, I just got chills just from that. I got chills. Yeah. It's incredible.

[Janda]

Centuries ago, you know, when cavemen would sit around and think about abstract concepts and stuff, before we had names for things, they only had their feelings and what. What they were seeing in the world around them. The environment, the sun, the moon, the stars, and so on. And it was very simple. And it all equaled into the same channel of. Of a higher plane somehow when you were elevated by a spirit or elevated by a feeling of something. And. And in this somehow, there's also, like, comfort, you know, in these lines in this song, there's, like, the comfort of knowing that you can rest assured that this person's going to be there for you, even. Even though they may not always love you. There's so much going on lyrically in. In the song.

[Christian Lane]

Incredible dedication, that they would always be there for you, even if they might not always love you. Like that, sort of. It's like a pact. I think it's interesting to note that when Brian Wilson was writing Pet Sounds, he said that every day before writing, he sat down and prayed, and he said he prayed to God to let him make a spiritual album for people. And God Only Knows is surely evidence of it that those prayers were answered. I think the comparison you made to the caveman, it's. It's so apt and such a lovely comparison. And so thank you for that one, Janet. That was. No, it's really making me think about that in those terms of. If you didn't have even words to use to explain it and, yeah, you really touched something there. I love that.

[Janda]

Well, thank you. Well, you know, this song really touched something in me and I bet a lot of other people. So there you have it. There's. There's our top five each. I mean, recapping my. From five to one. For me, it was David Bowie, Heroes, Dire Straits, so Far Away, number three, Songbird, Fleetwood Mac, number two, Leon Russell, A song for you and number one for me, Beach Boys, God Only Knows.

[Christian Lane]

Christian, maybe I'm amazed by Paul McCartney, something by the Beatles, George Harrison, Angie by the Rolling Stones. You Make Love and fun, written by Ms. Christine McVeigh for Fleetwood Mac. And number one, oh, Yoko, by John Lennon.

[Janda]

There you have it. Ten classic rock love songs that you can't go wrong with, in our humble opinion. Drop us a note in the comments and let us know yours. Thanks, Christian.

[Christian Lane]
