Human without the bean

You guessed right waysider.

"She wanted truth
But all she got was lies
Came the time to realize
And it was too late

She didn't know what she was headed for
And when I found what she was headed for
Mama, it was too late

It's too late
She's gone too far
She's lost the sun"

The Dark Knight?

Is this a song with the title of a girl's name?

I gather here then that nobody has a clue.

Vincent  (Starry Starry Night)   ~Don McLean~

New one soon.

WordWolf you used this same line just over a month ago.

"Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul

Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land

Now, I understand, what you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now

"Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand

Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free

Portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget

Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

Now, I think I know what you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will

"Well, since she put me down I've been out doin' in my head" 

Black Water  ....Doobies

Michael Madsen    Reservoir Dogs    Harvey Keitel

"Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand

Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free

Portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget

Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow"

Tough one by me George..  I think I see a parallel with Arnold in some sequel, but I really don't have a clue what that might be, provided I'm reading this right?

Next song:

"Portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget

Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow"

He was primarily a solo artist, but also cowrote and sang on a hit single for another singing group. At least 3 or 4 members of that group went on to celebrity status.

Okay Barry, then, "Eve of Destruction".  Maguire.  Barry Maguire.  I'm not sure of the group's name.  I have it on a CD called "The Spirit of the Sixties".   It's a really terrific CD with some of greatest 60's songs on it.

I can "hear" this one, but I'm not getting the title.

I've got the title, I'm not coming up with a complete name of the artist yet.  Gary or Gerry?  I don't know.  He was solo artist.

Hiroyuki Sanada    John Wick: Chapter 4     Ian McShane

What I Am

 

This thread must include the singers or the bands name with the title.  A cover band or artist, waysider, is alright as long as it has received some play time on a mainstream radio station.  You know like, ~Pearl Jams~ version of "Last Kiss" originally recorded by Wayne Cochran in 1961.

Old Ones will enjoy this as well..

They were having some sound mixing issues, the guitar was interfering with the vocals.  Early 70's, came with the territory.  I never got to see them in concert but I've always been a fan of their music.

Ok, now I can hear a tune.... so that's....

Got it!   Counting Crows with "Mister Jones and Me."

A two-hit wonder's first of 2 hits.

You got it.  The name is just Mr. Jones.

No.  I'll give you another clue.

"Smiling in the bright lights, coming through in stereo
When everybody loves you, you can never be lonely
Well, I will paint my picture
Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray

All of the beautiful colors are very, very meaningful
Yeah well, you know, gray is my favorite color
I felt so symbolic yesterday, if I knew Picasso
I would buy myself a gray guitar and play"

That line naming the colors sounds vaguely familiar, but I'm not coming up with anything right now.

You will after the next clue.
