Uncommon Voice - Effortless Bonnie Raitt


Bon Iver has done a remake cover of the 1990 "I Can't Make You Love Me", originally recorded by Bonnie Raitt.  Thing is, the Bon Iver version is great because it features true acoustic piano accompaniment and it's nice to re-appreciate this solemn ballad.  But the video below, Bonnie Raitt in concert, it's is simply exquisite.  Absolutely effortless and amazing.  The heartbreaking lyrics still kill me.

Stone Roses' Ian Brown and his single 'F.E.A.R.'






For each a road 
For everyman a religion 
Find everybody and rue
F*** everything and rumble 
Forget everything and remember 
For everything a reason 
Forgive everybody and remember 

For each a road 
For everyman a religion 
Face everybody and rue
F*** everything and rumble 
Forget everything and remember 
For everything a reason

F.E.A.R
F.E.A.R 
F.E.A.R 
F.E.A.R 

Finding eternity arouses reactions 
Freeing excellence affects reality 
Fallen empires are ruling 
Find earth and reap 

Fantastic expectations  Amazing revelations 
Final execution and resurrection 
Free expression as revolution 
Finding everything and realizing 

You got the fear
