This Side of Love - Terence Trent D'Arby I post this in honor of his best-of release and wild talent. Had he been less stubborn and/or had a producer with an iron will and/or a public that could keep up, who knows what he might've pulled off?

This one's from his 'difficult' second album.

"What have I done to piss the gods off?"

it's weird--sorta Monkees meets Fishbone meets Temptations? (or something)

Fun Terrence Trent D'Arby trivia, courtesy of an ex-boyfriend who is friends with E (from Eels), who is in turn frieds with TTD:

1. Is called "T" by his friends
2. Wears sunglasses inside movie theaters while the movie is playing to hide from presumed hordes of overzealous fans

Is called "T" by his friends

Even since he started calling himself Sananda Matreiya? I thought that for the most part he tries to avoid being connected with the old stage name, although calling him "T" isn't exactly the same as calling him "Trent" I guess.

It must help him blend in with everyone else.

I loved this album. But it seems he was just not someone anyone else wanted to work with.

I don't have "If You Let Me Stay" on CD, anyway. I'll see what I can do.

I have it and will try to YSI it when I get home.
