As a confirmed devotee of the Dark Horse Beatle, I have been trying to track down the songs he gave to other artists. Last week I found a good one called, "That Kind of Woman," with Gary Moore singing. And dig that slide guitar, man.

With a nod to Mamabot's DD thread. I like their new song, Astronaut, too.

I'm not sure if this fits in here, but I was looking for a place where people intro'ed themselves. Well, in case anyone is wondering about the "Nothing to Lose" tagline I picked, it's a song by Henry Mancini for the movie "The Party." (I saw some people with other "standards" such as "Come Fly Away", etc.)

I think it fits in to a tee with the general loungey theme here. What a great breezy melody. You can find a vocal & instrumental version of the on "The Party" soundtrack, as well as a throwback yet modern faux-"live" lounge arrangement on the Sacre Bleu CD by Dmitri From Paris.

Lovely, lovely melody. Lyrics are decidedly forthright and sexy. Definitely worth checking out esp if you like lounge music, and/or another great Mancini tune besides Moon River.

The lyrics go:
Nothing to lose, If we are wise, We're not expecting rainbow-colored skies, Not right away.
Nothing to lose, It might be fun, No talk of spending lifetimes in the sun, Although we may.
Both you and I have seen what time can do, We'll only hurt ourselves if we build dreams that don't come true.
What can we lose, We know the score, Let's wait before we talk of evermore, One day we may.
Nothing to lose, But much to gain if love decides to stay. Nothing to lose.
