Eric Church Springsteen
I am glad that Eric Church Springsteen shared his version of those same experiences in such a thoughtful and sentimental manner. I am sure Bruce Springsteen smiled the first time he heard it.
Eric Church Springsteen Music Video
Growing-up in New Jersey, Bruce Springsteen was a significant part of my teens and twenties. I can reflect on song after song and let the memories connected to each one come alive and bring me back to the time and place of the initial experiences. I was fortunate enough to see him perform live about ten times between 1980-1985. There were definitely some, “Funny how a melody sounds like a memory. Like the soundtrack to a July Saturday night. Springsteen” moments, more than I can remember at this minute. He as much as any musical artist has imprints all over my high school and college days. He was not my favorite artist to listen to but seemed to effect me in a way few others could. And those four and five hours shows were so unique and forceful. We all left exhausted as members of the audience, can’t imagine how he must have felt after those performances.
Eric Church Springsteen Lyrics
To this day when I hear that song
I see you standin’ there on that lawn
Discount shades, store bought tan
Flip flops and cut-off jeans
Somewhere between that setting sun
I’m on fire and born to run
You looked at me and I was done
And we’re, we’re just getting started
I was singin’ to you, you were singin’ to me
I was so alive, never been more free
Fired up my daddy’s lighter and we sang
Ooohh
Stayed there ’til they forced us out
And took the long way to your house
I can still hear the sound of you sayin’ don’t go
When I think about you, I think about 17
I think about my old jeep
I think about the stars in the sky
Funny how a melody sounds like a memory
Like the soundtrack to a July Saturday night
Springsteen
I bumped into you by happenstance
You probably wouldn’t even know who I am
But if I whispered your name
I bet there’d still be a spark
Back when I was gasoline
And this old tattoo had brand new ink
And we didn’t care what your mom would think
About your name on my arm
Baby is it spring or is it summer
The guitar sound or the beat of that drummer
You hear sometimes late at night
On your radio
Even though you’re a million miles away
When you hear Born in the USA
You relive those glory days
So long ago
When you think about me, do you think about 17
Do you think about my old jeep
Think about the stars in the sky
Funny how a melody sounds like a memory
Like a soundtrack to a July Saturday night
Springsteen
Springsteen
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Funny how a melody sounds like a memory
Like a soundtrack to a July Saturday night
Springsteen
Springsteen
Woah Springsteen
Woah-oh-oh-oh
DJ Smooth Cocktail Hour Mix
The DJ Smooth Cocktail Hour Mix was created for Brides and Grooms when hiring their professional Wedding DJ who are lost when it comes to choosing music for the Cocktail Hour for their wedding. All professional Wedding DJs have several options to offer couples, one of them is the classic and stylish ‘smooth’ Jazz, R&B and Rat Pack mix of music to set a perfect mood after the Ceremony, setting up the Reception.

DJ Non-Traditional Romance Mix (Slow Jams)
This is the first in a five-part series, DJ Non-Traditional Romance Mix (Slow Jams) . Each mix will represent a different tempo or rhythm of romance, love and sensuality expressed through music. Of course, the mixes are not all inclusive. I could really make this into a twenty-part series without even scratching the surface.
DJ Non-Traditional Romance Mix (Slow Jams)
mp3j track= “Non-Traditional-Romance-Slow-Jams-Mix.mp3”]
The motivation was to provide those who are searching for music to use for alternative or non-traditional settings or couples to dance and move to. I have enough Brides and Grooms, as well as other couples that are not getting or already married that ask for recommendations for this kind of music. After completing the mixes, I will add a blog post including a larger list that has been compiled of songs that may be helpful to those looking for an alternative professional DJ playlist of romantic, love, sensual and sexy songs.
If you would like me to burn you a CD copy of the mix, I invite you to write and send me your address and I will mail it to you for free!
DJ Non-Traditional Romance Mix (Lush Jams)
The second mix in the DJ Non-Traditional Romance Mix series. The Traditional Romance Mix (Lush Jams) includes songs that are a little too fast for Slow Jams but not really uptempo. They typically are lush and deep with textured sounds. These are not songs typically thought of or associated with romance, which is one of the reasons the DJ Non-Traditional Romance Mix (Lush Jams) was so much fun to create.

I enjoyed the opportunity to mix in some covers of classic tunes like Madonna’s “Borderline”, Elton John’s “Sacrifice” and Ravel’s “Bolero”. It is fun playing with such textured grooves and beats together to weave an eclectic and diverse musical landscape.
As is the case with all the professional DJ mixes I have been posting online, if you would like me to burn you a CD copy, just send me an email with the information and I will get it right out to you.
DJ Non-Traditional Romance Mix (Rock Jams)
I am finding no matter how hard I try, I always seem to have songs that would work perfectly that just don’t fit or make it on these mixes. This time it was the next in the DJ Non-Traditional Romance Mix Series, Rock Jams.

[m3j track= “Non-Traditional-Romance-Mix.-Rock-Jams.mp3”]
I do not get to play as much Rock Music as I used to and grasp at the opportunity when presented. While compiling the list of DJ Non-Traditional Romantic Mix songs over the last few weeks, it stared at me that there were enough Rock songs to make a mix of just Rock Romance! Of course, like I shared above, the amount of songs that I marked for this mix and what could comfortably fit in a mix below 100MB just didn’t work. No worries, I had fun and I think those of you Rockers out there will have something to enjoy! There may be a DJ Non-Traditional Romance Mix Rock Jams Part II at some point including more female voices than this mix, which only has one female lead vocalist.
DJ Non-Traditional Romance Mix (Groovin’ Jams)
The fourth mix in The Non-Traditional Romance Mix series. I had so much fun creating this one. I was able to add songs from several genre including R&B, Soul, Jazz, Folk and Blues. This particular mix also had music including decades from 1940’s to today.
I enjoy working with this project for couples that are looking for non-traditional songs for weddings, parties and events. As a professional DJ, we are always looking for opportunities to support others enjoyment of music and celebrations, especially when romance and love are involved. If you would like a CD copy, I invite you to send me an email and I will mail you one for free.

DJ Non-Traditional Romance Mix (Fire Jams)
The fifth in the five-part series titled Non-Traditional Romance Mixes, Fire Jams. This is the mix that has more uptempo tunes with a focus on dancing to fast songs. This whole series has been a lot of fun for me. As a professional DJ that performs at many Weddings, Parties and Events who enjoy music that is not always as popular to what mainstream music is based, it is helpful to produce music for these kinds of Brides, Grooms and Event Planners.
I enjoyed mixing romantic and sensual music from Italy, France, Romania, India, Mexico, Brazil, England and of course, the U.S.A, just to name a few cultures included. I invite you to take a listen and get up and move to the jams.

He has several international hits and won 4 Grammys and an MTV Music Award, including Seal Love’s Divine.

Seal Love’s Divine Music Video
The Seal Love’s Divine official music video was directed by Sanji and marks the first occasion that Ukrainian model and actress Olga Kurylenko appears in an acting role. Seal Love’s Divine captures the challenges and joy of love and all that comes with the commitment to love from the lyrics, video and vocal performance. Seal is a professional Wedding DJ’s dream since his soulful tunes are great for Weddings and all romantic occasions in such a sweet, yet not cheesy way.
Seal Love’s Divine Lyrics
Then the rainstorm came, over me
And I felt my spirit break
I had lost all of my, belief you see
And realized my mistake
But time threw a prayer, to me
And all around me became still
I need love, love’s divine
Please forgive me now I see that I’ve been blind
Give me love, love is what I need to help me know my name
Through the rainstorm came sanctuary
And I felt my spirit fly
I had found all of my reality
I realize what it takes
‘Cause I need love, love’s divine
Please forgive me now I see that I’ve been blind
Give me love, love is what I need to help me know my name
Oh I, don’t bend (don’t bend), don’t break (don’t break)
Show me how to live and promise me you won’t forsake
‘Cause love can help me know my name
Well I try to say there’s nothing wrong
But inside I felt me lying all along
But the message here was plain to see
Believe me
‘Cause I need love, love’s divine
Please forgive me now I see that I’ve been blind
Give me love, love is what I need to help me know my name
Oh I, don’t bend (don’t bend), don’t break (don’t break)
Show me how to live and promise me you won’t forsake
‘Cause love can help me know my name
Love can help me know my name.
DJ World Music Party Mix
I really enjoy music from varied cultures and places throughout the world, one of the reasons I appreciate travel as much as I do. However, I find the term, ‘World Music’ annoying and condescending. It speaks to The American mindset that there is the American way and everybody else is one big category called ‘other’. In India alone, there are enough musical genre to make this an obsolete term. The same is true for the continents of Africa, South America and Asia. It is sad to me that we glop them all together as one genre, ‘World Music’. Unfortunately, it is some of my favorite sources of music and I do not have a better name for the DJ World Music Party Mix.
DJ World Music Party Mix
mp3j track= “World-Music-Party-Mix.mp3”]
I am a true fan of music from many places globally, some I have had the opportunity to visit, others I hope to make it there someday soon. This particular mix of music includes music from India, The Middle East, Bulgaria, Northwest Africa, Japan, Latin America, Jamaica and other great sources of music. Let me know what you think of the DJ World Music Party Mix!
Here is what Wikipedia has to say about World Music:
“World music is a musical category encompassing many different styles of music from around the world, including traditional music, quasi-traditional music, and music where more than one cultural tradition intermingle. World music’s inclusive nature and elasticity as a musical category pose obstacles to a universal definition, but its ethic of interest in the culturally exotic is encapsulated in fRoots magazine’s description of the genre as “local music from out there”. The term originated in the late 20th century as a marketing category and academic classification for non-Western traditional music. Globalization has facilitated the expansion of world music’s audiences and scope. It has grown to include hybrid sub-genres such as world fusion, global fusion, ethnic fusion and worldbeat.”
