As the title says, I remember my mom playing a record album of a woman singing a song that started off slowly and deliberately, then gradually, the song builds and builds until the end. My mom told me this was similar to sex and written to resemble a sex act. As a kid, I was stunned. (What the hell was sex?!) Looking back now, I'd love to find that song again and listen with my non-virgin ears. Heh.
It could've been Dusty Springfield or someone similar to her in style and sexiness. I have been trying to go through Dusty's discography, but I have had no luck. As much as the title "Soft Core" may allure you, I'm pretty sure that's not it.
Anyone know what the heck I'm talking about?
EDIT 1: I'm going through the suggestions, but I haven't seen one that stands out as it. To clarify-- the song actually builds in tempo, not just in vocals.
EDIT 2: None of these songs are it... Good suggestions, but none of them accelerate in tempo as the song goes on. I wish I could call my mother at times like these. Hoping someone can nail this down.
Hello all! A couple weeks ago, I made a post here saying that I'm a brand new Dylan fan, and that I'm listening to his entire discography in order for the first time.
My first post was about his first two albums! That post can be found here -

Anyway, I was asked by multiple people to make a new post whenever I finish listening to an album, so that's what I'm doing!
I listened to The Times Are A-Changing first about a week ago. But I wanted to listen to it multiple times so I would have fully formed thoughts about it before I discussed it.
Anyway, the album is great!
I can tell this album is very important to Dylan's career as a whole, and kind of formed who he was fully in the public eye (if I had to guess.)
This album, he goes full on, hardcore political.
Which I don't mind at all, because again, I feel like it was him forming his public image.
But my main "critique" with this album, would be that it's very one-note. Not really One-Note, but there's less variety to the songs as his previous two albums.
It doesn't have any of the "fun" moments that I appreciated so much in his first two albums. Like Pretty Peggy-O, or I Shall Be Free.
But that's okay, because you can tell he was trying to make a statement with this album. And probably didn't want to undermine himself.
But, I think once I listen to more Dylan, I'll be able to come back to this album and appreciate it more for what it is. But for the time being, there aren't really that many songs on this album that I have on repeat non-stop like I did with his first two albums.
So far, my favorite two songs on the album are "One Too Many Mornings" and "The Ballad Of Hollis Brown"
Again, I don't mind the super dark political vibe with this album, but I liked his light-hearted political songs from Freewheeling more. Like "Oxford Town", and "Talking World War 3".
(Even though those songs are super dark lyrically, they have a light-hearted feeling and tone).
Anyway, that's my overall feelings for The Times They Are A-Changing, for the time being. But I think this album will grow even better when I look back on it, with context of his whole career.
I also have some updates on my thoughts of his first two albums!
In my original post, I said overall I enjoyed Bob Dylan (debut album) more than Freewheeling.
While his debut album will always ho

Hello all! I've posted videos of my jazz fusion/progressive rock band, Faux Reality, in /r/bass before and everyone has always supported us, so I thought I'd let you know that we just released our new album!
You can stream and/or purchase the album on our website: http://fauxreality.org/album/daybreaks-lullaby
The album is also available on all music purchasing/streaming websites like iTunes, Spotify, Apple Music, Google Play Store, and etc.
Enjoy! Let me know what you think!

I cannot do it justice here, but I'd highly recommend listening to it, reading its lyrics, reading about its context. The band's lead singer, Jesse, was raised in a Christian household, and this album is one of the best artistic expressions I've ever heard of what a lot of us in this community experienced.
Feel free to check it out. It's my favorite punk album of the year thus far! Very eclectic and heavy and I love discussing music, so!
