The Best Songs Of 1984

Weekly Weather October 1, 2012
Time to feed your dreams and starve your fears!
Well start with the Biggie ~ Saturn travels through Scorpio for 36 months, three long years, starting October 5th 2012. Saturn leaves Scorpio on September 17, 2015. As Saturn dives into the murky, cloudy, dark and hidden waters of the fixed sign of the swamp, we each will be asked to evolve, transform and change in ways that are profound. Saturn in Scorpio will ask no less of us than to confront the secrets hidden in our being, souls, psyches, hearts and our charts. Saturn was last in Scorpio from August 24, 1983 to November 16, 1985. Before that, Saturn journeyed through Scorpio in Oct 22, 1953 to May 13, 1956. Those of us born between those days will be having a Saturn return as well as dealing with Saturns journey through Scorpio. Think back on those years in your life to get an idea of what you will be working with in the years ahead.
Mars rules Scorpio. As Mars changes signs over the next three years, we will be taken into different kinds of Scorpio energy. Over the past three years, since October 29, 2009, Venus ruled Saturn in Libra. Every time, Venus changed signs, our experience of Saturn in Libra shifted to reflect the goddess shifting focus. Weve learned about our desire nature, relationships, partnerships, and what we want in our lives. I always think of Libra as being in town at the Big Dance on Saturday night, after selling our produce in the Farmers Market gathered during the harvest activities of Virgo. In Libra, weve cleaned up, scrubbed our fingernails, let down our hair from the practical ponytail of Virgo. We worked in all kinds of relationships all day as people came and went from our booth at the farmers market. Weve gone shopping and chatted up folks all day. We ate dinner and shared laughter with friends. Then we went to the dance. Now, the last song is playing Saturn moves into Scorpio. Now Mars takes over Saturn. Mars is behind the steering wheel of Saturn. And Mars is a very, very different energy from Venus.

(47,675 posts)I sort of let it go after that. The album just called "Genesis" with the Perfection pieces was what I considered to be the end of the band. It still exists, but not in a recognizable form. I know most of them by heart. I can play damn near any of the first 15 years without music. Bands evolve. My jazz band from high school has children younger than my own. It's natural.

Pretty Persuasion lyrics
Songwriters: MILLS, MICHAEL / BERRY, BILL / BUCK, PETER / STIPE, MICHAEL
(Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)
It's what I want, hurry and buy,
All has been tried, follow reason and buy,
Cannot shuffle in this heat, it's all wrong
Try to put that on your sleeve it's all wrong, it's all wrong
He's got pretty persuasion
She's got pretty persuasion
God damn, your confusion
She's got pretty persuasion
It's what I want, hurry and buy,
All has been tried, follow reasoning,
And I put that in this heat it's all wrong
Try to wear that on my sleeve it's all wrong, all wrong
(chorus)
He's got pretty persuasion
She's got pretty persuasion
God damn, your confusion
He's got pretty persuasion
In the light I saw
Quite a scene there
It's what I want, hurry and buy,
All has been tried, follow reason and buy,
Try to put that in this heat it's all wrong
Cannot wear that on your sleeve it's all wrong, it's all wrong

(25,274 posts)I was a freshman/sophomore in college in 1984. I don't know if it's a definitive list.

(84,711 posts)with the "year before and year after" as to when it all came out.
I posted thinking some others might have Faves in that Time Frame.. I posted Annie Lennox because I felt she was missing and others have posted some stuff.
"1984" was George Orwell's year and the songs of that years seem to "fortell" what would come after...at least imho......

(84,711 posts)that the "common masses could relate to."
And that so many still enjoy that music is a good thing. Just as you like and promote your own music...please don't deny the rest of us our "pleasure."
Just saying........
