Day 34: A song that makes you feel guilty

I do not think, that listening to that song makes ME feel guilty, but is a classic song about guilt, from Marianne Faithfull's wonderful album "Broken English", certainly one of the milestones in her career, featuring her more widely known version of The Ballad of Lucy Jordan and John Lennon's Working Class Hero.
The song from that album rendered here is simply called Guilt and I chose the video from U-Tube that is a simple collection of pictures of Marianne Faithfull from all stages of her career and nearly all ages of her life. Btw, she will give a concert inVienna in June 2011.

Day 59: A song from your childhood

This makes it easy to have a coherent shift to childhood days: a Jagger/Richards song that was used by Andrew Loog Oldham - prior to the recording done by the Stones - for another young artist he had under contract:
"As Tears Go By" as rendered by Marianne (who was born on Dec. 29, '46) in 1965, when her voice was entirely different before it changed to the lower key and rougher tone due to the exoperience of the ups and downs in an artist's life :

Day 60: Your favourite song a year ago

Finally, a song that has once been my favourite song, since I cannot tell what could have been my favourite song exactly one year ago. To stick to Marianne Faithfull's voice, I dig "Without Blame", credtted to Lô, Étienne Roda-Gil and Roger Waters of Pink-Floyd-fame, as rendered by Marianne and Ismael Lô
"A love that you would not defend with your life / you cannot befriend not with tears in your eyes" - brings tears to my eyes.

Toutes les femmes sont des reines
But some are more regal than others
Some shatter man's dream
By breaking away from their lovers
Cette chanson pour cette reine
Qui dit à son roi maintenant
I am gone, gone with the wind
A love that you would not defend with your life
You can not befriend, not with tears in your eyes
I am gone, gone with the wind
I am gone, in search of a new king
Toutes les femmes sont des reines
Sur terre, sur mer, neige ou désert
Derrière le voile des formes pleines
Il y a le mystère des sirènes
Burn the town, burn the back-street bars
Burn your boardwalk basement trade
Feel the flame, feel the curve of the sword
Your living flesh reeks of compromise babe
And in the face of barbarian hordes
An honest defeat is your only reward
The love that you would not defend with your life
You can not befriend, not with tears in your eyes
Ma ngi dem, gone with the wind
Ma ngi dem, in search of the new king
All women are queens
Tell this to the woman who loves you
You may not live up to her dreams
Which even a king cannot always do
Voilà ce qu'a dit une reine
À un roi bon, vaincu sans haine
Elle est partie comme s'en va la mer
Quand la lune veut ça
A love that you would not defend with your life
You can not befriend, not with tears in your eyes
I am gone, gone with the wind
I am gone, in search of a new king
I am gone
I am gone
