Someday Someway - Marshall Crenshaw original song

[messoggequah]

i love this song i heard it over the intercom at work an i have had it stuck in my head ever since i didnt know who sang it but now im a fan......:)

[tommyandmilo]

Not enough jingle bells in today's music.

[sandstress270]

This song has always just made me feel like dancing around the room! Thanks for posting.

[locatefastballchange]

Yeah, I'm watching "Desprately Seeking Susan" and I hear Marshall faint in the background....I'm like oh yeah .. oh I forgot. So now I'm on YouTube time traveling. My xgirlfriend didn't like him either, x. I was right about U2 but I'll never know why Marshall didn't blow up. Power Pop, big songs! Emitt Rhodes is kinda the same story. His music now , makes my heart sore.

[elvispresley718]

when will lil wayne cover iggy pop and the ramones and the marshall tucker band?

[yarekhunt]

@elvispresley718 If it happens,life as we know it will end....like the meeting of matter and antimatter

[psychlyst]

Marshall Crenshaw=most underrated power pop songwriter...ever!

[elvispresley718]

i really miss this kin dof melody on the radio

[mrsbeasleysass]

This is one of the best songs I've ever heard.

[GloriaD5767]

This is in the coffee shop scene of "Desperately Seeking Susan."

[mrsbeasleysass]

@GloriaD5767 I didn't know that...I love that movie.

[GloriaD5767]

@mrsbeasleysass Next time you watch, listen very carefully. I've watched it I don't know how many times before it dawned on me. As Roberta Glass and Dez are in the coffee shop, you can just faintly hear the song.

[Kelski1998]

From the picture you can see why he was picked to play Buddy Holly in La Bamba!

[idlewild1964]

great song.i think lil wayne could make this one pop again!well maybe not!

[Maxharddrive64]

One of those song you never really tire of hearing...They still play this on Alternative mix radio here.. The real test of a great 'older' tune is when I see my kids boppin around to it.

[Jeffkozmusic]

I added this song to my favorites play list and I was playing it at home while the wife and I were doing house work, and I asked her what she thought and she said this could possibly be the worst song I ever played for her!! What a clueless thing to say. I think I might need a new wife....

[standishbear]

One of the greatest pop songs ever recorded. Thank you, Marshall Crenshaw for shaping my lifelong love of music.

[wotabottle]

Thanks bro. This is my jam.

[Misstaylor441]

One of the songs you forget but when you hear it you remember what a good song it is.

[gmartinz01]

Met him and his band on a cross-country flight. They were all nice people.

[TheMatdengkil]

Here's Marshall back in '92 flic.kr/p/6RhDtx

[kektrek]

He actually went to Berkley High School, Berkley, MI. not sure exactly when he graduated but I graduated from there in 1983 and he was already our legend.

[Shotgunnova]

Classsssic.

[harrell222]

Great unexpected chord change at 1:02. Great stuff. I love Marshall Crenshaw

[basiacomeout]

Excellent! so glad you posted this!

[MrComplo]

Marshall rules! Good to see all the kind comments.

[slashcammas]

lol Marshall Crenshay lives down the street from me. LOOOL!

[USSEnterpriseNCC1706]

Real nice song..

[11Bost]

Man, I wish I was alive for these awesome songs.

[mph122170]

A Detroit Bad Ass

[hospitalbedpan1]

I'm surprised this guy wasn't more popular in his heyday. He had an interesting music style.

Before my time, but still nice to listen to.

[tkev360]

Got to find this winery-place performance in spring 2011. check out latest interview on examiner.com.

[jeff62rey]

I totally stumbled on this just now. It was so much more of a hit to Jennie and I than the #36 it made on the pop charts. I bought this as a single for Jennie in Fall of '83 and we nearly wore it out dancing in my little dorm room at U of M. We ate Dominos pizza to this. We studied Chemistry 201 to it. We studied each other's chemistry to its catchy rhythm.

[Jlandkamer44]

Thank you so very much, I love this song!

[DaveWollenberg]

Marshall hit #36 in Billboard, 8-28-82. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

[SoEyeSay]

Another example of a composer not being the best performer of their work: ROBERT GORDEN does the best version of this cool song. You doubt me?? Meet me behind Howard's on 56th at midnight; we'll settle it.

[RossM3838]

@SoEyeSay Agreed. marshall Crenshaw wrote this great tune and deserves all credit but Robert Gordon takes it home.

[basiacomeout]

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

[1985OldSkool]

Great rockabilly tune. Makes 1982 sound like 1962.

[SheriffTankStoner]

@1985OldSkool Billy Swan made 1974 sound like 1957 with 'I Can Help'.

[1985OldSkool]

@SheriffTankStoner And Billy Swan made it all the way to #1 with his single.

[SheriffTankStoner]

@1985OldSkool Yep, mid-to-late November 1974 in fact. I love both 'I Can Help' and 'Someway, Someday' and I like the fact that both of these songs were well-received in their years of actual release. Another song that sounded like it was recorded years before it's actual release was Donald Fagen's 'What A Beautiful World' recorded in 1982 but sounded like it was recorded in 1975. What also got me thinking that was the line 'Well that '76 will be A-OK'. I thought he was referring to 1976.

[humboldtus]

Listening to this and other Marshall Crenshaw songs on here--the first time I have listened to his music in a long time--emphasizes to me that most people today don't know how to right songs anymore. Too many songs have no verses, no repeating chorus, no "hooks". A lot of songs are just long prose. And I am saying this as an alternative rock fan.

[rexrockandroll]

GREAT SONG...EVEN BETTER MESSAGE.....SOMEDAY, SOMEWAY--I'LL FINALLY GET WHAT I WANT OUT OF THIS MISERABLE EXISTANCE...LOVE, MATERIAL, A NEW PLACE TO LIVE....NOT ASKING FOR MUCH....ITS JUST IN MY FACE, WITHIN REACH, I HOPE....rex, help me buddy.....

[kreepykrawlie]

Marshall Crenshaw played Buddy Holly in the film La Bamba.

[501columbus]

He did a great performance as Buddy Holly in the movie "La Bamba"

[TheTwb1024]

As Good Now as it was when it came out

[jester99sch]

Ive simply adored this song since the first time I heard it in 83

[jmmprime]

this song simply Rocks!!



[RobereTurbo]

Great little song right there! Takes me back to 1982

[fmerinov]

La escuchabamos en Doble 9 en los ochenta, fue bueno oirla de nuevo, gracias por colgarla

[TheKateCT]

If you're anywhere near Connecticut, you can come see Marshall Crenshaw on 4/16 at The Kate in Old Saybrook, CT.

[VillaTragedia]

A great musician and a great humble man

[mthabetz]

The records are almost too good. Even when he played them this way live, it was never quite as good. Two absolutely classic albums.

[BettinaBalser]

Absolutely my favorite song.

[getabox]

I saw him in a small venue some years back. After his concert, I asked for an autograph. He obliged and pocketed the pen I provided. I said, "Hey, that's my pen! You owe me a kiss for trying to steal my pen!" And he kissed me.

[rongwrong1]

Thank God, I so sick of all of Marshal''s stuff being his insipid unplugged routine. I okay with him having a coffee house ethic but I love the original songs and that's what brought most of us to be fans.

[56kanaka]

The original, Thank You, Too Cool!

[herazod]

Marshall had a bunch of his songs remade. but he's really good in concert. His version of "My back pages" (Dylan song) is the best version there is (including the all star remake from dylan's bday concert) He's one of my closet favorites, if you like this song, look up some of his other stuff. I bet you'll know more than you think.

[HackbushTv]

Nice.  Fame now! Now no fame! Ted Williams (golden voice homeless mess).

[HackbushTv]

He's like Ted Williams (Golden Voice Guy). Therer'e a reason he's not successfull

[OleVanDole]

@HackbushTv Explain :)

[mercutio701]

Love it, good ol' rock n roll

[joeyinempirestate]

Love this guy, a little Rick Nelson, Beatles, Hollies, etc. influence.

[gertie2u2]

I was so in love with Marshall back in the 80s and I love him still! Is it wrong that I rocked my babies to Cynical Girl and we danced to this song when we'd had a bad day or a letdown?

[jtma65]

I have loved this song since the moment I first heard it. A great artist. Thanks for sharing this. :)

[ChimeofTime]

Didnt Marshall Crenshaw play John Lennon in the smash tribute Beatlemania ?

[thedawn090]

I can't believe it, he's brilliant. Wow. It's a good thing I looked up obscure 80's artists because the mainstream has been controlled since Motown ended. #LOL

[chpman2013]

ahh, the Buddy Holly of the 80's =]

[hooterstooge]

One day back in the '80s I was at the "Phiily Saloon" to see the Men Without Hats on a saturday, and I'm at a table, and heres Marshall, and I'm saying to him " you look like somebody" and he say's yeah I've heard that before, Marshall Crenshaw is what I usually get, and I said "yeah". the next day he opened for Hall and Oates at the late great SPRECTRUM, very cool cat!

[mrentertainment43]

@hooterstooge I saw Crenshaw at a demolition derby in Fargo. He asked if he could borrow my toothpaste. I asked, "What the heck are you doing?" Crenshaw turns to me and says, "I'm imagining a world where one day my videos will be uploaded to a universal media and people will talk about me behind my back." I said "You want the tube (of toothpaste)?" Crenshaw got this look on his face and yelled, "That's it tube...YouTube!" He thanked me then ran off cackling like a drunken sea witch.

[dirkbogarde44]

@mrentertainment43 Brilliant. SImply brilliant.

[Carthsting]

@mrentertainment43 Coolstory bro.

[chiefashley56]

THANKS FOR THE CLEAN UPLOAD. MY FAVORITE.

[wstaib]

[mikeyloveslorraine]

Yes,this indeed IS the original song,with proper timing and sounding lyrics.Thanks for that.It and all the songs of the glorious 80s bring memories flooding back for me during a time when things were so much better.Once again,thank you.

[PugetSoundPete]

One of my favorite songs, brings back memories of '82! Thanks for posting this classic!

[DonKissick1970]

Crenshaw wrote it

[hockeylifer1962]

how about the original version by robert gordon? check it out. crenshaw released his version a year later and it's almost identical

[keith5385]

@hockeylifer1962 actually marshall wrote it

[keith5385]

@keith5385 Robert gordon and Marshall are good Friends

[Sidragrosm]

A true classic, by an artist with REAL heart.
