I like songs that build from a shimmer to a throaty shout. Classic example. I've been singing this all week.

Since This Is My Jam is being archived soon, I might as well include my all-time favourite song before it's too late!
Finally got in to the Rolling Stones the other day after listening to a few of their albums. Gimme Shelter has always been one of my favourite songs though...

High School, Freshman year '79, Panasonic Boombox blasting this tune as soon as the bell rang. Ripped jeans, smelled like the roach I was keeping in my back pocket for "lunch". Had to be the fuckin' coolest kid in that fucked up school. It's a miracle I ever even finished high school. Odds were stacked against me. And look at me now, Hahaa! "It's just a shot away!"
Just the best.
