As a fan of a wide variety of popular (and not-so-popular) music from the 1950s (and sometimes even earlier) up through the present, one of my bucket list projects for years has been to put together a list of my 100 favorite songs of all time. At some point I decided that, once I got around to figuring that out, I could put it out on a blog, for the infinitesimally small proportion of the Internet world that might be interested. So, here we are. While the Top 100 will be a major focus, I also plan to post on a variety of other musical (and occasionally non-musical) topics, in which you may or may not be interested. (If a particular posting doesn’t ring your bell, you’re only a few clicks away from a dancing cat video on YouTube.)

#125 From A Window Seat – Dawes (2013)


 
Dawes is one of the best bands out there today, and the only reason they didn’t get something into my original list is that I couldn’t decide between this one and “A Little Bit Of Everything”. (It’s still really too close to call.) The band has always drawn a lot of Jackson Browne comparisons, which I didn’t fully appreciate until I listened to this track a few times. Taylor Goldsmith’s vocals don’t sound all that much like Jackson, but you can easily imagine him writing and recording this song (especially the line about “the conversation between the rivers and the freeways”).
