[FairfieldLife] Name that tune (was: Re: Maitreya)
What's the title of this song? I've not heard it. The lyrics are great. I'd like to sample it at the iTunes store.

While you're sampling, try this one from the Eagles' "Hell Freezes Over" album: Get Over It I turn on the tube and what do I see A whole lotta people cryin' 'Don't blame me' They point their crooked little fingers ar everybody else Spend all their time feelin' sorry for themselves Victim of this, victim of that Your momma's too thin; your daddy's too fat Get over it Get over it All this whinin' and cryin' and pitchin' a fit Get over it, get over it You say you haven't been the same since you had your little crash But you might feel better if I gave you some cash The more I think about it, old billy was right Let's kill all the lawyers, kill 'em tonight You don't want to work, you want to live like a king But the big, bad world doesn't owe you a thing Get over it Get over it If you don't want to play, then you might as well split Get over it, get over it It's like going to confession every time I hear you speak You're makin' the most of your losin' streak Some call it sick, but I call it weak You drag it around like a ball and chain You wallow in the guilt; you wallow in the pain You wave it like a flag, you wear it like a crown Got your mind in the gutter, bringin' everybody down Complain about the present and blame it on the past I'd like to find your inner child and kick it's little ass Get over it Get over it All this bitchin' and moanin' and pitchin' a fit Get over it, get over it Get over it Get over it It's gotta stop sometime, so why don't you quit Get over it, get over it BTW, the story behind this song is interesting. The Eagles broke up because two of the dominant person- alities in the group, Don Henley and Glenn Frey, just couldn't stand being in the same room with each other any more. They broke up and spent something like 12 years without ever seeing each other. Then their studio proposed an Eagles reunion tour, and for whatever reason, all parties concerned thought it might be an interesting thing to do. So Don and Glenn agreed to get together, for literally the first time in 12 years, at one of their houses. While they were sitting around and catching up on old times that afternoon, they wrote three songs, including this one. It's amazing to me that sometimes the *synergy* that defines a creative team like Henley/Frey or Jagger/ Richards or Lennon/McCartney transends any of the petty squabbles that may come up over time. These two guys write great songs together; that's just what they do. Separate them for 12 years and when they get together, what do they do within a few short hours? Write more great songs. BTW, if you're sampling "Inside Job," also check out "For My Wedding" and "Everything Is Different Now" and "My Thanksgiving." Three of the loveliest songs ever recorded. Yahoo!

Thanks for the leads. Unfortunately they point
up a problem with digital rights; just as iTunes
doesn't have essentials such as Radiohead and
the Beatles, it lacks "Get Over It" and "My
Thanksgiving." ("Hell Freezes Over" is totally absent.)
It's a bit frustrating, but I can't afford all the music
I'd like to buy anyway.
Someone at the iTunes store may cover "Get Over It."
There are 28 songs by that title there. I've run across
that before there -- certain phrases or figures of
speech invite songwriters to explore them, and before
you know it you've got enough different songs of the
same title to fill an album. If I were a disc jockey on
an alternative radio station I could fill hours playing
themed programs like that.
For example, the MUM radio station, were it free to
do so and had the budget, could play the 32 songs
that have "Transcend" in the title.
