Great song

I'm listening to Ray Charles' "Standards" album right. Basically a collection of classic Ray tracks. Right now, "That Lucky Old Sun" is playing. Absolutely beautiful song. The progressions are awe-inspiring, particularly with the choral backing.

I would recommend this album as a whole, and particularly this track, especially if you are in a mellow mood.

In other music notes, I've had Queen's "Bicycle Race" stuck in my head since I heard it last Friday. That has to be one of the more annoying songs out there, and I can't figure out wtf it is supposed to mean. It makes no sense to me, and is annoying. And playing over and over in my head. Not a good combination, folks.

Honestly, I'm not sure I see the attraction to Queen as a whole. I have their "Greatest Hits" album on my iPod, which is presumably their best songs. Sure, some of them ("We Will Rock You," "We are the Champions," "Another One Bites the Dust," and even "Fat Bottomed Girls") are great to listen to. But the other 13 songs quickly get old. Beyond the arena rock at sporting events, I don't really understand the attraction. Different strokes for different folks, I suppose.
