When John is home, he does music themes -- a bunch of songs on his computer -- without telling me, until it hits me what the connection is. I'd like to do it to him with my MP3 player on the way home on Thursday.
The theme, of course is getting out of there and coming home. But it has to have humor and lighthearted feel to it, (Bruce Springsteen always sounds like everything is dire and deadly, Jimi sounds frantic, and the Doors tend to sound like they have a permanent hangover.)
I'm already thinking "We got to Get Out of This Place," but can't remember who sang it for sure -- The Animals maybe?
We have mostly 70's music, and he's into Delta Blues, with a huge fondness for Clapton, BB King, Buddy Ray, George Thorogood, and the like. He loves Government Mule, (I have no idea. Too modern for me. lol) and some doo whop, Pink Floyd, The Eagles, Styx, CCR, The Band, Meatloaf, folk music from Baez/Dylan days, but he hates disco. He was a hippie back in his day, but married with a baby, so he didn't really get his music groove on until he was single again, and it continued for the first few years into our marriage. (!975-1985ish? He hates Cyndi Lauper though, and didn't get into grunge.) That could give you some ideal of what he likes, but he's not into psychedelic, unless it's Cream.
And, of course Christian music too, but they have to be the Standards. (I can only think of songs like Be Thou My Vision, The Old Rugged Cross, and How Great Thou Art, but those aren't "Going home" songs. And "going home" cannot, under any circumstances, be linked to dying for obvious reasons.) Nothing against the more modern stuff, just not our thing.
So, got any suggestions?
