Here are my week one hundred and ninety four recommendations for Three Tune Tuesday

Drum roll please.....

Counting Crows - Round Here

This week, I'll buck the Trend of recent weeks and not go for an irish artist for my Three Tune Tuesday picks. Usually when I'm picking my 3 tunes on Tuesdays, I get some divine inspiration or something gives me an idea.

That's exactly what happened yesterday with this post that I'll share below. It's basically just a collection of some photos on an icy frosty February morning in Galway, but one of the photos I took was a satellite with some airplanes in the background and that gave me the idea about a Counting Crows song called Recovering The Satellites that hadn't listened to quite some time.

It's funny, sometimes you like a band and forget them for a while and then kind of rediscover them and remember how good they are or were.

This is the first song from arguably my favourite Counting Crows album August and Everything After.

Enjoy.

Counting Crows - Mrs. Potter's Lullaby

This next one comes from their third studio album This Desert Life and I listened to this album a lot!!

This was long before Spotify and I tunes, before Torrent files and "free" music. You bought a CD and you listened to it. You REALLY listened to it. Every song. Certain albums from this time are engrained on me and this is one of them.

Here is one of two singles they released from this album.

I love this song and I read this comment just now on YouTube.

Definitely a good line.

Counting Crows - All My Friends

I got into lots of bands and artists through my older sisters and brothers, but not The Counting Crows. These guys were introduced to me by one of my best friends older brothers who would have their music on in the car on the way to school in the mornings, as they often gave me a lift to school back then.

The third and final song for today is another from This Desert Life

Enjoy.

Three Tune Tuesday

That's right, it's Tuesday folks and for our merry little band of ladies and lads, that means sharing tunes, good vibes and engagement. As another week disappears in the rearview mirror, we have loads of engagement and tunes flying around on Three Tune Tuesday and sure isn't that bloody fantastic! I hope you're ready to share three tunes from wherever you find yourself on this magical spinning lump of rock that we all call home and sure you might even sing us a tune if we're lucky?

It's a time of the week when lovers of music, tunes and craic bring their blockchain community three of their finest and brightest tunes to share and celebrate, so let's roll on and let the tunes flow free.

This is my 194th week waxing lyrical for Three Tune Tuesday and we are still going strong.

It started off with me just sharing tunes into what seemed like a void, but little by little others joined and now I'm thrilled that we have a little corner of Hive where we come and share our tunes every Tuesday, and long may it continue. I almost stopped posting the songs and thoughts a few times, but I stuck with it and now interestingly it is my favorite thing about Hive. I love music and now I have a network of folks around the world who love music too and we share our tunes and catch up with each others tunes and discuss them each week. We get Pop, Metal, Rock, Gospel, Folk, Jazz, Rap, Hip-Hop, Trip-Hop, Reggae, Bippy bappidy Flange Hop. Ok I made that one up, but you get the idea, we are all learning about new artists, bands, back stories and sure isn't it just mighty!

Something that excites me the most is that we even get musicians sharing their covers of famous songs and even their own songs from time to time here on #ThreeTuneTuesday, which is a real favorite of mine, as that takes talent, time and dedication.

We are adding New posters and retaining our core of regulars here on #TTT which is fantastic. Let's keep it growing. Over the years, I have listened to fantastic music shared from like-minded folk from around the globe and interacted with their posts. This has led me to genres I don't know well and to some amazing new bands and artists and has even introduced me to some musical instruments I did not know existed. It also allows me to upvote smaller accounts and find some really interesting people from all over the world, which is heartening.

I hope you enjoy the tunes - be sure to tell me all about it in the comments below and above all else, please enjoy the rest of your Tuesday - smile at a stranger, rub a dog, be a nice human to someone who was not expecting it - peace out.

For those unfamiliar with TTT or Three Tune Tuesday....

Golden era of times!

The Nineties! :)

Ah ya man, the nineties got bad press, but plenty of good tunes 👌

August And Everything After was a damn good album. I kinda remember when it came out and was played non-stop on radio in the early 90's. Good selection of tunes.

Ya that's their best album for sure, but they've other good stuff too 👌

Funny I also went Irish this week. I love All my friends, true how one forgets artists but so great to rediscover them!
Thank you for #ttt @ablaze, it's so nice discovering music from other parts of the world!

Sorry I misled you actually! Fixed typo now.. I meant to say I wasn't going Irish this week, Counting Crows are from the Bay Area in San Fran

Loving your Gary Moore pick!! What a legend 🎸

Thank you for #ttt @ablaze, it's so nice discovering music from other parts of the world!

My pleasure my friend

You awakened quite a few memories for me. My favorite is All My Friends! I used to buy CDs too. I remember that on every trip I took and in every city I visited, I would visit the markets, bookstores and record stores to see what “jewels or treasures” I could find. Thanks for such great music, my friend.

I love this... Great memories... Music is great for memories I find... Certain songs just take you back...

Love it! They are probably one of my top five favorite bands of all time. My two favorite albums are August and Hard Candy. Adam has always had a hand for writing really thoughtful and deep lyrics. That's part of what I love about them so much.

Ya man, I remember you telling me this before, they are class alright and seem like really cool guys who would have a few beers with you if you met them. They come across as down to earth, fun and friendly people. Those two are great albums for sure.

Adam has always had a hand for writing really thoughtful and deep lyrics.

Yep agree completely 👍🏻
