What is your favorite song with TTD?


I would choose "Let her down easy" a nice and slow song, and as a faster more funky song i would choose "Dance little sister"





and i like his new songs (that are available as download)!

I've had most of his albums and as cheesy as it sounds, probably "Sign Your Name".

"Holding On To You" would probably be in my top 10 songs of all time. I also love "Seasons" as it has a very special personal meaning to me.

Holding On To You.

'Dance little sister' live is one of the best tracks live i've heard by anyone. It really is awesome.

I have so many favourite TTD songs. I'd say 'If you go before me', is right up there.

That's a lovely song.

"Holding On To You" is my favourite song by any artist . There are so many more songs I love by Sananda, but "Holding On To You" cannot be topped

My top 10:

1. Vibrator
2. Holding On To You
3. Dance Little Sister
4. Let Her Down Easy
5. Wishing Well
6. Sign Your Name
7. T.I.T.S./F&J

Delicate

Nice to see so many great suggestions. I love to listen to TTD's songs besides Prince.

Not cheesy at all. That's my favorite, too.

Next? "Who's Lovin' You?"

"Vibrator"

Cloudbuster said:

yeah, that one.

second place is:

Turn The Page


You chose with age
To speak with a prima ballerina's rage
And speak of all the kingdoms
That would swoop down
Stick around
Then proceed to ignore you

No flash pot pan, guitar man
Or resurrected Apollo myth
To seal your fate
Feed your plate
And just plain worship and adore you
But the pills you swill
Bring you no thrill
So travel lightly on the wing this time
Leaving all your baggage behind

As you wander through your vagabond stage
And find yourself shovelling shit
With a rusty jack-handle queen of a broken spade
You must not be afraid
You must turn the page

You wore your goddess gown
In jaundiced disarray
Your halo fell into decay
Swiped by those you loved
But could not hold in sway behind you
And then the dry spell leaves
At a low shutter speed
Long enough for you to see
That you create your own reality
And that the wait alone will not enshrine you
And the war that you swore
Would pour through your door
To come to your rescue this time
Is all in your mind

Now as you wander through your vagabond stage
And you find yourself shovelling shit
With a rusty jack-handle queen of a broken spade
And you find yourself kicking dirt around
With your Paris green pumps
Of pentacles and precious jade
You must not be afraid
You must turn the page

You dreamt a world of things
Like you were a duchess born
Or Coretta Scott King
And the queen does not invite you over for a tea at her gaff
In Scotland
Or in Buckingham's back-yard

Now I'm sure 'Van the Man' of whom I'm a fan
Can surely understand
As he said "It is not why, it just is."
So therefore you need not remain scarred
And in time you'll find
That your salvation is mine
As you travel lightly on the wing this time
Leaving all your baggage behind

Now as you wander through your vagabond stage
And you find yourself shovelling shit
With a rusty jack-handle queen of a broken spade
And you find yourself kicking dirt around
With your Paris green pumps
Of pentacles and precious jade
Pulling the roots from your hair
Dyed from a bottle
You saw in a windows with
An 'Everything must go!!' sale sign
Prominently displayed

And yet waiting for your dancing
On the edge of a precipice heart to sing
Those serenading soul songs
That fulfillingness and consciousness brings
Releasing you from your captive cage
Replacing love for all your rage
Turning your hope on a rope's magic pope kaleidoscope
Into a rabbit's foot parade
You must not be afraid
(Eyes forward babe)
You must turn the page

One thing is sure
And that is change
When the water's rising
You can't remain
Move to dry land
Move to dry land
You've got to move on

what do you mean, swagger?

The slowed down live versions of Turn The Page are much better than the album verison.

Ellie said:

there are slowed down versions?

Yes, and it's mindblowing! When I get home I'll link you to it.

Cloudbuster said:

I agree totally CB. This song move me. It's beautiful.

"Undeniably"/"We Don't Have That Much Time Together"


I always listen to these 2 as one track.

Both are amazing and beautiful

Taurus said:

Oh, I love those 2 as well. TTD has tons of great songs. Too bad there aren't more people out there that know about him. He deserves to be noticed more.
