Marshall Crenshaw - Someday Someway 04-20-08

[TheKateCT]

He's coming to perform at The Kate in Old Saybrook, CT if you anyone is in the area. Thekate.org!!! See you then

[Hanksyoutoob]

Genius. You can't be better, taste aside, rock and roll, thank you Marshall Crenshaw.

[lqr824]

The true mark of a great pop tune is that you can play it with a band, a piano, a solo guitar... Was this guy a towering talent? Or is it just my personal taste? Every song has a few departures from the rules that I take to be the work of genius.

I'd like to hear a comeback from this guy, maybe with the production toned down to let the songs take front stage. But does anyone listen to just "songs" anymore?

[hoppermusic]

Marshall is playing in Woodbridge, NJ on April 14, 2010 @ Music On Main Street. I'm there!!

[SBPublicAffairs]

@hoppermusic I grew up in Avenel. Wish I was there.

[Hkepfer]

Trust me as far as your fans, you have only done for us!

[Bob6stringer]

Great delivery on thsi tune, si devoid of teen angst but still feels like pure pop/rock a la Buddy Holly. Classic stuff.

Marshall, wherever you are, I'e rediscovered you. Gotta get the new 2009 album - songwriting and sound is clear as a bell.

[baltogal]

Jaggedland is his best album.

[medicinesocks]

back to revisit. crenshaw is one of the loveliest people on the planet-- and this song just catches me in the gut. it's wonderful

[jester99sch]

@medicinesocks I remember hearing this song on an 80s rock compilation album and its the one song I did wear out lol

Ive always loved this song and thought Crenshaw to be a genius

[bfnputz]

He was John Lennon in Beatlemania.

[ScooterNerd]

It's more like he was a singer-songwriter who had a few fairly small acting roles.

[franman66]

I saw a little show with MC for record execs in the mid 80's. It was rocking!

[4samreno]

A real genius & VERY under appreciated!!!The music video from when MTV WAS REAL is wonderful, marvelous,etc!!!

[dandeexxxx]

he was an actor who had a few hits

[modelleg]

Duke University, 1984

[simplyfabulous35]

My friends band opened for him - he is still great and underappreciated

[dandeexxxx]

opened for him? how bad were they?

[simplyfabulous35]

that is AWESOME! ;]

[Doublejeebus]

my dad freakin roadied for this band in the 70s!!!!11

[tvicha1]

I heard Gin Blossums play this song about 9 years ago and it stuck in my head and until now finally heard who the real writer was. Adds the the gentlemans comments below, this guy is AWESOME, guess I'm glad to be a late member of the somewhat obscure (sp?) fan club!

[101supersonic]

I love this song. I like the radio version better. I didn't know the name of the song until now. I always thought he was saying "someday subway" like a guy always eats at burger king and he thinks about changing his mind and thinks "someday subway"!!!

[musicdoc522]

He has recorded so many great songs that he has written. Too bad his music doesn't sell. Because of this i guess we dont get to see him with a band that often. He is incredible with a band.

[akat32]

He's still adorable.

[56richardcory]

This song will never be forgotten ...

[2refinish]

That was phenomenal. When it comes right down to it, all the ingredients are there: brilliant songwriter, great song, straight-forward performance. Thanks for sharing this.

[jackynjimy]

I couldn't agree more.

[leycyp]

@2refinish ditto...one of the best of the best pop rock and roll classic tunes of all time

[medicinesocks]

beautiful

[Interview1998]

Justis Marshall and his guitar,

so simple, so beautiful.

And his voice sounds great,

like he is in your living room.

Playing from his heart,

and it is touching.

---Cheers (thanks jackynjimy!)

[Chuckcaster]

Marshall you are great but,  I love the Robert Gordon ,Danny Gatton version. I can't find it. on the tube

[RossM3838]

He actually wrote the song for Robert Gordon and Danny Gatton. They are spectacular. It really jumps. They did it live on sctv which used to be on Youtube. maybe some copywrite problem forced it off.

[acertainblue]

I LOVED their version & have searched for a recording; couldn't find - RG, yes, but not w/ DG. I lived in D.C. bitd & saw DG, RG, Evan Johns, sometimes some of them playing together - a wonderful time in music/history.

[bhug91]

This is my favorite song by Marshall and one of my favorite of all-time.

[BrianAshleyJones]

Brilliant songwriter. I love his melodies.

[under10feet]
