Damien's other songs...

[debangel]

I've never bothered with Itunes, as I have always preferred to have a physical copy of my chosen CD's.
Anyway I decided I would take a look at the new ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS cd and see if I would like to buy the whole album or just a few favourites from it. Of course I had to take a look at Damien's list while I was there.
Well I was thrilled to find some long forgotten and even unknown songs which I quickly purchased and burned to a disc so that I could listen at home and in the car. As I have never been one to buy singles or EP's ( well not since I was 12 anyway!) There was a list that I have never gotton to know.

Here is my "NEW" list of songs

1. Song for Jarvis - have only ever heard it on youtube, love it

2. Who You Are - previously unknown to me

3. Baby Jane - very catchy, very CATCH THE WIND,

4. Harry - don't know this one, presume it's original, love to know the story. I don't remember a Harry, in the Remember June novel.

5. Plastic Man - what can I say, again only seen it on youtube, but it just grows and grows, each time I listen. It's sublime. I would adore to see this back in some live shows next year. Just D on stage alone with a single spotlight on him (I just gave myself butterflies thinking of that whilst listening to the song )

6. The other side - The "Ba ba baba baaa" opening, kind hits me in the face, as it kicks in just as Pastic Man has melted me away. But it will grow on me. Again I had never heard this one.

7. California Blue - without Itunes I never thought I would have the chance to hear this one. Not sure what attracted D to this song, but I guess not every song can be a huge grand song. A bit average , but every song he sings turns into a favourite of mine, eventually!

8. Right next to the right one- gorgeous, gorgeous

So, I have titled my new cd 'ALTERNATIVE DAMIEN' .It is so exciting to have virtually a whole CD worth of new music to listen to and as it is christmas I have all of those songs to listen to also. I am in heaven

Just to fill me in, are they all originals except for B.JANE and C.BLUE?

I will try and help you out Deb

1. Song For Jarvis (self explanatory - written for his son Jarvis and bonus iTunes track when you bought 22Steps single )

2. Who You Are (original) - bonus track on iTunes when you bought Where We Land

3. Baby Jane (original) - bonus track on iTunes when you bought Catch the Wind
4. Harry (original) - written about Harry Houdini - on the Forgive Forget CD release

5. Plastic Man (original) - written about a store mannequin - on the Forgive Forget CD release

***Bonus iTunes track on the Forgive Forget CD release was a full recording of Hallelujah

6. The Other Side (original) - bonus track on iTunes when you bought Remember June - it is a follow up song to Goodnight and For All of Time

7. California Blue - bonus track on iTunes when you bought ROY: A Tribute to Roy Orbison (It's a Roy song)

8. Right Next to the Right One (original) - bonus track on iTunes when you bought To Get To You single



California Blue is the only one that is not an original.

Of course, if I am not correct in what I have written then please correct me anyone

Do you have the extra Christmas songs that were on the re-released bonus Where We Land?

[Spud]

Braffy, Who You Are is actually one of the B-sides of 22 Steps (as is Song For Jarvis). The bonus track for Where We Land is an acoustic version of Not Just For The Weekend. Download it Deb, it's good! You've also missed the recorded version of Hallelujah, Deb. I'd recommend getting that one too. (It's not just the version from The Winner's Journey.) And yeah, as Braffy mentioned, there are also the Christmas songs on the Christmas edition of Where We Land, one of which is an original (it's called 'This Christmas'). And Baby Jane is an original!

I only downloaded The Other Side, Right Next To The Right One, Hallelujah and California Blue (and of course the new Christmas song) about a week ago. I love them all, ESPECIALLY The Other Side, so catchy! I made it my ring tone and have heard some nice comments about it from other people.

[debangel]

Yep, got the WWL christmas cd. Hadn't thought of the studio version of Hallelujah, will get that.
Surprised to hear that Baby Jane is original. I wasn't familiar with it, but as all of CTW are covers I assumed it must be a one that I hadn't heard before. And it is so folky, that it sounds like it belongs on CTW.

I LOVE RIGHT NEXT TO THE RIGHT ONE!! And The Other Side!

Thanks Spud for the correction.
