Day 159: No more I love you, Annie Lennox
I guess this song captures the dying phases of a romantic relationship. A common condition of our fallen humanity. Very arty video

Day 158: Stay with me, Shakespears Sister
Yes this song is certainly unusual and the video clip makes it even stranger (and a little creepy). The battle of love trying to fend of death I guess?

Day 157: My immortal, Evanescence
Wow I love this woman’s voice. Such a beautiful song and another incredible offering from Evanescence.

Day 156: Because of you, Kelly Clarkson
This album came out when I was working for AstraZeneca in the naughties. This song is particularly good and also sad. I guess it captures the dynamics of abusive relationships and also the deep scars that are left in adults when they fail to receive the parental love that is so essential for adult mental

Day 155: The Heart of the Matter, Don Henley
There is so much truth in the chorus line: the more I know, the less I understandall the things I thought I knew, I’m learning again.I’ve been trying to get down, to the heart of matterbut my will get’s weak and my thoughts seem to scatterbut I think it’s about forgiveness, forgiveness even if, even

Day 154: Knowing me, knowing you, Abba
In the original Covid Island Discs that I published on Facebook, I ended the series at week 11 with the Abba song “thank you for the music” which summarises how I feel about this amazing gift God has given us. Abba was one of those groups that for many became associated with more teeny bopper

Day 153: Eternal Flame, The Bangles
From the funny “Walk like an Egyptian” to a more mature romantic song from the Bangles.

Day 152: Salt water wells in my eyes, Julian Lennon
He certainly inherited his Dad’s voice. Kind of sad that John Lennon really never connected with Julian. I wonder what Julian made of John’s song “Beautiful Boy” which was about his other younger son Sean that he had with Yoko Ono (Covid Island Discs Day 176). Another thought about this song is it was written

Day 151: Tomorrow never dies, Sheryl Crow, (James Bond Theme)
OK this is the last James Bond theme although I did share Paul McCartney’s “Live and Let die” way back in week 2 day 9 which also belongs here. Sheryl Crow has already also made an appearance in my play list and she certainly was a good choice to do one of the James Bond

Day 150: For your eyes only, Sheena Easton, (James Bond Theme)
“For your eyes only Mr Bond.” Sean Connery certainly made James Bond into a more comical character but I much prefer the modern protrayal of the spy by Daniel Craig. By far the best James Bond of the lot in my opinion.
