From John Lennon back to the Beatles. I guess only a band is great as them could get away with such a long lead out in a rock song. The blurb under this Youtube video clip is an interesting read and reproduced below. “Hey Jude topped the charts in Britain for two weeks and for […]

Another one of John’s song from his Double Fantasy album which came out only shortly before he was assassinated in New York. I also wonder what this genius would have produced if he had lived another 30 or so years. Sadly we shall never know.

So I have one of Ryan Adams albums but this song wasn’t on it. The song from the album I was searching for is called “Gimme something good” but while searching for it, this song popped up. The opening credit to this song is quite something as he filmed this on the 7th of September

Staying on a fairly dark theme I am afraid there are times when I can relate to this song. While intellectually I am a Christian and emotionally I shall never surrender my final hope in goodness ultimately triumphing over evil, sometimes the darkness of the world feels quite overpowering as we witnesses the suffering of

In the 80s Pink Floyd released what was then to be their last album entitled “The Final Cut”. This represent the point where Roger Waters left the band.

A bit of a change in genre from my last song. I really like this song. Kenny Rogers creates a really strong image in this song of a mysterious old gambler on a train to nowhere giving his advice to a guy who is “down on his aces”. A song related to this is Covid

Yes we seem to be living in a time when most establishments are having problems. This song kind of captures the feeling of emotional overload one feels when reading a modern newspaper. The temptation is always to take Sixto’s advice in the final line of this song: “frankly I couldn’t care less”.

“Your name is Deborah, it never suited you.” Another song about unrequited love.

I really like this woman’s voice. I guess this song captures the concept of a love that never was and never can be. Reminds me of another song yet it is so bad I am not going to share it. Can anyone guess which one I am thinking about?
