Jude Cole

I'm posting a link for a song that I couldn't adore more if I tried.

It's Jude Cole's Peaceful in Mine. And just...guh. I've been meaning to write a fic based around it for ages actually, it's just so damn beautiful. That man's voice is just perfection. And the guitar on it almost makes me cry...

Enjoy!

Woman!! I can't hear. I cry. It downloads as an mp4 file. It confuses my computer. It knows not the mp4. Only the mp3. I cry!!

[fightingthecage.livejournal.com]

Gah! Do you have itunes? It's an itunes file...

I'll see if it'll play in WMP and repost it as that. You must hear it if you haven't already, it's gorgeous!

Have you got Real player? it works fine if you open it with that, not in WMP though...

[meddlesomewoe.livejournal.com]

Ugh. I have Real Player but it won't load the fucker. Ugh. Upload again omgplease? *whimpers*

[fightingthecage.livejournal.com]

Eeek! I don't know how to upload it again as a Real player file. Sorry man. It's itunes on my computer - do you have the latest version of Real player? That might be your problem...

Already have that CD (you can thank lonely_streets for that, and must agree with you. That song is to die for.

Lol, she must have taste! That whole CD is brilliant I think, but that song just ices it perfectly - just soooo beautiful.

Damn, gotta go listen to it again. Lol, I've had the album two months now and Peaceful in Mine gets played at least once a day. Perfection...happy and sad and hopeful all at once...*sigh*

Yeah, she made me copies of I Don't Know Why I Act This Way, A View From Third Street, and Falling Home. I later won Start The Car from a guy on the Jude Cole Yahoo Group. Woot!

There was some question a fan asked him about that once... something about a feeling of autumn or something. I always got the impression that the song was about two kids, holding hands.

[fightingthecage.livejournal.com]

Wow, that was very cool of her! Those are the three albums I have - I dont have Start the Car though. Is it good? I must look into getting it.

I hadn't thought about it being about two kids, although it has a real innocent quality so I can see where you're coming from. It just reminds me of love - or about someone remembering something they once had. Lol, which is probably why I've been itching to write a Jack/Teri fic based around it.

Something about Jude Cole though - all his stuff makes me think so much of the so called 'middle America'...you know, there seems to be such a theme of the 'regular guy' and boy/girl next door in his work. I love it! Especially in songs like 'I Won't Bleed' and 'Speed of Life'- even 'Joe'. I listen to him and always get reminded of the towns I passed through when I drove across the US last year. Awesome...

It's great. I can rip it to mp3 if you want. It's pretty hard to find.

Yeah, it's really innocent. Either two kids or an elderly couple, which is what came to mind after I typed my first comment. (Like that diamond commercial, with the elderly couple walking through a park, holding hands? Adorable.)

I live in "middle America" hun, and I really don't see a lot of those types. Though there is this one guy who comes into McDonald's (I work there, God save me), who calls every girl "hun".

[fightingthecage.livejournal.com]

You would?! Wow, that'd be awesome! Thank you! *hugs*

Yeah, an eldery couple makes sense also. Just - I dunno. There's something really sad about it to me (possibly the guitar riffs in a minor key, admittedly) but...ahhh, I dunno how to explain. Everyone sticks their personal views on things I guess.

And oops! Didn't mean to cause offence with that comment, sorry! I just meant that there's a sterotypical image of Middle America, probably only propagated by people that don't live there (or those who listen to Eminem). And I fall into both of those catergories...lol, I'll shut up now before this hole I'm shovelling for myself gets any deeper...

[romanticapathy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I will. Find me on AIM (shiftingdesire right now), and I'll send 'em to you whenever I get them done. Oh, by the way, you catch Jude, Kiefer and Rocco and Extra last night? Or tonight? Awesome. I've got clips, in case you want them. Which of course you probably do.

Yeah, they do. That's the one thing you have to remember about audiences -- each person brings their own bias and perceptions with them, and can interpret things completely different from how they're intended. It's probably why essay-writing is so difficult for me. ;)

Oh, no offence taken. None at all. I just don't really notice any difference between places. The difference between areas isn't so pronounced, especially since we've got a constant stream of TV and music and movies unifying cultural identity. Shit, my dad had never had pizza until he was fourteen, so there you are. But the people here in Oklahoma are nicer than they were in Arkansas. (And that's me covering the fact that I have no idea what the fuck I'm talking about.)

[fightingthecage.livejournal.com]

Groovy! I'm WriteToLive247 on AIM, I just added you... and thank you yes, clips would be awesome! :)

Glad I wasn't offensive. Eeeek! I guess Globalisation has a lot to answer for - lol, England is certainly a lot like America now. Only with worse weather and more miserable people... :D
