Podcasts about boy named if

 — Dig it   Ballyhoo, my friend. The passion project is doing something a little different today.   My name is Remedy Robinson. And, for fun, this inaugural lyrics-only slow drag, let's listen to brilliant lyrics of “The Boy Named If,” from the album of the same name, released in 2022. The songwriting is credited to Elvis Costello.   I'm a lucky so and so A fortunate stiff You said you never knew me but I'm the one you want to be with If I tumble from a tightrope or leap from a cliff I won't be dashed to pieces I'm the boy named "IF"   If I disappear and I slipper from your view I just step upon a crack and I won't come back Imagine me And I'll imagine you too   In a hollow of the bed sheet Or a picture in a frame I'm vivid as a summer's day Then never seen again Who'll pay the taxman? Who'll place the blame? Who'll point into an empty room And whisper my name?   If I disappear and I slipper from your view You will step upon a crack and I won't come back Imagine me And I'll imagine you too   Take my hand We'll go to "Magic Lantern Land" Take my hand See the pictures they've projected Take my hand We'll fill our pockets up with sand Dance in frantic passes 'Til the grains all turn to glasses Drums begin to navigate, the band strikes up a riff No one will believe you but the Boy Named If   Who'll pay your entrance fee? Who'll leave a tip? Who'll say, "Listen here, Sunshine Don't you give me no lip" Who broke your favorite heart? Who stops and never starts? Who kiss you stupid? It must be something you did Who'll keep you satisfied after a lover's tiff? It must be some other guy not… The Boy Named If   If I disappear and I slipper from your view You will step upon a crack and I won't come back Imagine me And I'll imagine you too   Take my hand We'll go to "Magic Lantern Land" Take my hand See the pictures we've projected Take my hand We'll fill our pockets up with sand Dance in frantic passes 'Til the grains all turn to glasses . . . Again, this has been a slow drag lyrics only reading of “The Boy Named If” from 2022's album of the same name. Thank you for listening.   And, of course, until next time, adieu my little ballyhoo   Reference: Elvis Costello Wiki Resource: The Boy Named If https://www.elviscostello.info/wiki/index.php?title=The_Boy_Named_If_(song)

"Do you know, do you know, do you know what turns pleasure to plight? If you kiss me, at first it may seem strange I'll show you the way into another world" My father shamed me just like you Buried my name in a glass or two 'Til he came to me in his darkest house He mistook me, took me for his spouse And my cries for a woman in the distance  So, I took this knife to show him the difference 'Til he came to me in his darkest house He mistook me, took me for his spouse And my cries for the woman in the distance  So, I used this knife to show him the difference

You'll probably know why" Then again you may say "Mister, you've got a nerve Most of us never get just what we deserve" I'll smile sweetly, "I'm here at your service"   And the camera walks us through into a sunlit room Where a one-hit wonder lives  And he says, "Action" and "That's a take" You are my most beautiful mistake   "It's not your reputation I'm trying to besmirch" "I'm here undercover, I'm writing this screenplay" "You might be my inspiration, it's beyond my control" "So it's my soulful and wounded expression, that you'd like to console?"   There's a hand that lingers a little too long There are lies you will hear, that they're singing right now, right here, right here in this song   And the lens pulls the focus on his magnum opus He's a one-hit wonder kid  And he says, "Action" and "That's a take" You are my most beautiful mistake   He made a portrait of her face out of burnt out matches She said "The trouble is, Sunshine, I know what the catch is… You'll offer me nothing, you'll offer me riches  I've seen your kind before in courtroom sketches"   From the booth in the corner From a different perspective Where a man plays the fool or a private detective He wrote her name out in sugar on a Formica counter "You could be the game that captures the hunter" Then he went out for cigarettes As the soundtrack played The Marvelettes   Let me check the script  Check the continuity  You'll be up on that screen for eternity The billboard will spit: "That look! That's it!" Take a little pill and you will get over it The light will hit you  If you drop that hint  Now "Cut" and "Print"   And the camera walks us through into a low-lit room Where a one-hit wonder lives

Elvis Costello burst onto the music scene in 1977 with the album My Aim Is True. Songs like “Alison” established him as a powerful new voice in rock. His next album, This Year's Model, introduced hits like “Pump it Up,” which has resounded through stadiums and arenas across the country ever since.  From then on he released album after album, decade after decade, becoming a force to be reckoned with in pop music. Now, Costello has released his 32nd studio album, The Boy Named If, and it's a kaleidoscopic journey through many of the sounds and styles that he's experimented with over the years. We spoke with Elvis about his wrong notes and open-ended lyrics, his much-publicized defense of Olivia Rodrigo, and why he turned down working with Adele Songs Discussed: Elvis Costello - Farewell, OK, Magnificent Hurt, Alison, Pump It Up Richie Barrett - Some Other Guy Olivia Rodrigo - Brutal Chuck Berry - Too Much Monkey Business Bob Dylan - Subterranean Homesick Blues Learn more about your ad choices.

Schreibblockaden sind ihm fremd. Seit 45 Jahren liefert der britische Singer-/Songwriter aus Liverpool regelmässig Alben voller Songperlen in einer unglaublichen stilistischen Vielfalt. New Wave, Country, Reggae, Soul, Folk, Kammerpop – Elvis kommt mit allen Genres klar. Auch im hohen Popalter von 67 gibt er Vollgas. «The Boy Named If» erinnert an den Hochgeschwindigkeitspop seiner frühen Jahre. Macht sehr viel Freude!

Sein neues Album bietet ruppige, kantige Vorstöße in den Beat der Sechziger und den New Wave der Neunziger. Unser Kritiker Marcel Anders stellt das Album vor.

In a The New York Times op-ed, psychologist Adam Grant puts a name to that feeling borne out of the pandemic — showing up for life, but living without purpose and aim. Emory University sociologist Corey Keyes coined that feeling "languishing." We discuss. And, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame musician Elvis Costello talks about his new album "The Boy Named If."

Elvis Costello's new album, The Boy Named If, will appeal especially to fans of the singer-songwriter's Attractions-era rock and roll records. Costello also recently released a Spanish-language version of his 1978 album, This Year's Model. Costello joins us for a Listening Party, and to read some short stories from the book that accompanies the new album.

The phrase "young at heart" is a cliché, but when it comes to Elvis Costello, it really does apply. The Boy Named If is a trip through the inner life of a young person growing up full of imagination and self-discovery.

Elvis Costello, is an English singer-songwriter, born 25 August 1954. Costello began his career as part of London's pub rock scene in the early 1970s.
