It's no All Fall Down by the 77s.

― PeopleFunnyBoy (PeopleFunnyBoy), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 19:05 (twenty years ago)

yeah fair enough. I wasn't really arguing that strongly anyways--the only songs of hers I've heard are "White Flag" and "Thank You," so I'm hardly one to talk. I just thought those search results were funny.

― The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 19:06 (twenty years ago)

So, no one's suggested which Amy Grant song Eminem should sample. My vote's for the synth-bass part in "Every Heartbeat."

― Alfred Soto (Alfred Soto), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 19:57 (twenty years ago)

i can't remember any of her other songs, but this one is cccccclassic

― sleep (sleep), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 20:27 (twenty years ago)

Which one? Heart in Motion is the name of the album. It's also a lyric from "Baby Baby" ("ever since the day you put my heart in motion...").

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 20:28 (twenty years ago)

Oddly classic, I have to admit.

I associate this song with the Divinyls "I Touch Myself". They were both hits when I started my first sock monkey record store clerk job.

My red blood runs true blue, and every hearbeat belongs to you...

Everytime my eyes skim past this thread title, I think that it's another Husker Du thread.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 22:12 (twenty years ago)

Dud. Goes without saying, yet it's being said. Again. Dud.

― maria b (maria b), Thursday, 14 July 2005 01:38 (twenty years ago)

Classic of course! Way better than "All Fall Down" by the 77s, which has one great song in "Ba Ba Ba Ba", but "Heart"'s got, like, 10. Not least of which is "How Can We See That Far," which nobody ever mentions but is one of the scariest, most clear-eyed commitment songs ever, and whose scary clear-eyedness would soon be borne out in Amy's real romantic entanglements. But yeah, the whole thing's great, except maybe "I Will Remember You" and the Jesus song at the end.

― dr. phil (josh langhoff), Thursday, 14 July 2005 02:30 (twenty years ago)

Of course this is totally crass of me, but I'll pump my review, which is, granted, not uncontested, particularly by the Freakonomics guys.

― dr. phil (josh langhoff), Thursday, 14 July 2005 02:34 (twenty years ago)

My only positive memory of it is being at a girl's house where she put the "Baby Baby" video on and most of the people there breathlessly gathered around the television to watch and sing along, so John Justen and I ran to the tape deck across the room, put in "The Days Of Swine And Roses" by My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, cranked up the volume and began stomping around the basement shouting "CHRISTIAN ZOMBIE VAMPIRES!!!!!" at the tops of our lungs.

hah! I clicked on this thread remembering my Baptist childhood friends used to play Amy Grant records all the time, and thinking about how, despite this, I was soon listening to MINISTRY..

...my Baptist childhood friends used to play Amy Grant records all the time, and thinking about how, despite this, I was soon listening to MINISTRY..

This isn't as odd as a lot of people make it out to be. I had several Amy Grant albums in my collection at the same time I had Ministry, Iron Maiden, Slayer, Slick Rick, 2 Live Crew, etc. Teenagerdom is all about being scatterbrained.

I'll bet her twat smells like Banana Bread.

Wow. Banana bread?

You, ma'am, are an apostate.

You have ruined banana bread forever.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 14 July 2005 15:29 (twenty years ago)

I'll take Amy Grant over Samantha Fox any day. I can picture me and her walking hand in hand on the beach after Community Bible study......

Every Heartbeat Belongs To You has spent many, many hours stuck in my head. The Baby Baby contingent has always been more vocal, but us Every Heartbeat fans know the truth.

Amy, my red blood runs true blue for you.

Which one? Heart in Motion is the name of the album. It's also a lyric from "Baby Baby" ("ever since the day you put my heart in motion...").

Oh! I assumed "Heart in Motion" was the name of the song with that lyric. So yeah, "Baby Baby"! I'd probably remember other stuff from that album if I heard it, but I can recall "Baby Baby" in striking detail. And I haven't heard it in like 10 years.

― sleep (sleep), Thursday, 14 July 2005 16:03 (twenty years ago)

"Baby, Baby" is the only single from the album that still gets radio play, unfortunately. We "Every Heartbeat" fans have been crying about it for years.

I WOULD LIKE JOHN D TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE GREATNESS OF "EVERY HEARTBEAT"

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Wednesday, 19 September 2007 17:05 (eighteen years ago)

dude you're preaching to the choir here, "every hearbeat" is the shit and rules over "baby, baby" on every planet in the known universe

― J0hn D., Wednesday, 19 September 2007 17:16 (eighteen years ago)

i know i loved "every heartbeat" when i was a kid and now i CAN'T REMEMBER HOW IT GOES ;_;

What the hell is with that huge blue shirt she wears in that video? Was that a thing in the early 90's? Looks like she borrowed it off David Byrne.

the heart in motion videos are strange affairs; i think each involves at least one scene of amy in front of a billowing backdrop

anyway i came here to post about how depressed i am that, on youtube, both "that's what love is for" (a great video that is like the best leftover ideas for an annie lennox video) and "i will remember you" (not much of a video but the song makes me cry until i am hyperaware of the bones in my face) are dogged in the comments by a lone anti-amy grant crusader, who has flagged every opposing comment as spam and has somehow accumulated up to 27 thumbs ups, so this person's hateful dogma is the only visible conversation beneath an amy grant video.

i mean, youtube comments occupy the bottom already, but i get sad and angry at this sort of restless, callous condemnation.

― mutant slow drum (BradNelson), Thursday, 18 August 2011 05:59 (fourteen years ago)

that should really read "27 thumbs up" but it's late and the internet has ruined me with the word "likes"

in the middle of talking about this on facebook i discovered this arsenio hall performance/interview and wow amy is such a class act. she wasn't going to put "ask me" on the record bc she didn't want to "exploit her friend's experience" but then that friend requested that it be on the record. ;_;

"Galileo" should've been a single

that Arsenio appearance is so wild. 10 people to make one song.

― she carries a torch. two torches, actually (Joan Crawford Loves Chachi), Saturday, 2 June 2018 23:38 (eight years ago)

also her coat, generally speaking I don't dwell much on people's clothes but that coat. also Arsenio asking A.G. about the Winans & criticism for doing secular music is a better interview question than I could reasonably expect to hear any interviewer pose to a musician in 2018

― she carries a torch. two torches, actually (Joan Crawford Loves Chachi), Saturday, 2 June 2018 23:42 (eight years ago)

I've cooled on "Galileo," I must admit, with sorrow.

― stuffing your suit pockets with cold, stale chicken tende (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 26 November 2023 15:31 (two years ago)

did you get the recent live album from the Lead Me On tour? It's spectacular, and to contrast it with her earlier live record is really something - I like the earlier one, too, young AG has both a clarity of tone that the road sands down and an exuberance she trades for stardom. But the Lead Me On touring band is a wonder and the songs are better.
