A review of Hello Mary from Bedtime Stories posted by stareguy on 4/16/2005
|
| I bought this cd after seeing the video for Dance, which I thought was a great track. I had heard Boomtown previously but didn't know David otherwise. Well, as with pretty much always happens, I buy for one song, and love everything else even more. Hello Mary is just a beautiful song, and acoustically, it's impecible. I have used it when buying audio equipment more than once, because of the range of the track. The words also completely captured me from the first time I heard it. It's still one of my favorite tracks. I definitely count Bedtime Stories as one of 5 albums I'd take were I stranded on a desert island, it's just that good. I've convinced at least 2 of my closest friends of the merit of the album, and they both own and love it now too. Thanks David. |

A review of Colette from Bedtime Stories posted by Rachel on 3/25/2004
|
| I bought this as a tape back when I was a freshman in highschool. I loved the album, but Colette was the one that stuck with me and got added to whatever mixed tape I made over the years. I am now in my late twenties and find myself wanting to go back to the whole Bedtime Stories to see if it would effect me the way it did when I was younger. Colette was a song that was sexy before I knew what that meant. It was a lovesong without being blatant or condesending. I loved that David went from a whisper to a heartfelt wail in the same verse and never made me feel manipulated. |

| I bought this during a particularly bad bout of insomnia back in '91. Didn’t know the artist, just like the title. This particular track still makes me weep. I make even casual acquaintances listen to it. To hear that the artist himself doesn’t think much of it staggers me but there you go. |

A review of Liberty Lies from Bedtime Stories posted by PatBrown on 4/11/2003
|
| To me this is the strongest track on Bedtime Stories. Such a great picture painted with this song. Best lyric line "some ladies were talking from the Committee of Oh My God" :):) Would have loved to heard it live the last tour along with Dance and Stranger but oh well |

A review of Hello Mary from Bedtime Stories posted by Dave Tahija on 3/10/2003

| There was this romance once, a love affair that was real, that was going to last but then it didn't and now there's concrete remembrances of then but the feelings and emotions, the important memories, they're ghosts is all and you can't bring them back with shallow talk about where you're at now or vague mentions of the changes for you both. So now if you call to check and see, you can't talk to each other, you can hear the words but they don't mean a thing. |

A review of Bedtime Stories posted by Dale on 2/2/2003

| When this album was released I was very excited to hear the "new stuff". I wasn't disappointed. Sally and I had ended three years earlier. It was a transitional/chaotic period for me and as with "Boomtown" this album was to be the soundtrack for the period. Good choices, bad choices, living in a big (to me) city, booze, wacky girlfriends etc. The songs/stories on "Bedtime Stories" were the same as what I was experiencing. The connection was again instant. I know DB himself doesn't like like this album for various reasons. Other fans on the board seem to prefer "Triage" but, to me, it's his best solo album of his three official releases. "Hello Mary", "Liberty Lies" and "In the Morning" are phenominal. This is the second album that I'll take with me when I go to meet my maker. Hey, you never know...!! |

A review of Stranger from Bedtime Stories posted by PatBrown on 1/26/2003

| I remember listening to this CD and thinking why did David bury this track at the end but sometimes I guess it is that way with CD's. Anyway vocally I think this is an excellent song and it was well produced in that it was not overproduced. After hearing the demo track for it off the Stories Before Bedtime demo I like the one on this Album better. It is cleaner. Very simple instrumental song. David I wished you liked it more. I would love to hear it live. |
