An amazing album cover with amazing songs to boot. This song always makes me feel a little sad, it is so melancholic. Update: The video below is a new addition that I found on Youtube in May 2021. It replaces the original one which was just the album cover and that is why in my […]

The Trafford Centre Hotel California Time to return to some classic rock. A while back Grace nominated me to do ten classic album covers so I shall combine this into my Covid Island discs. The first album cover is from the classic Eagles album Hotel California. Funnily enough Hotel California looks a lot like the

This song was not one I intended to include until today when I heard about the sad death of Dave Greenfield who died late yesterday aged 71 after testing positive for Covid-19. He had been in hospital for a prolonged period with heart problems. RIP

I end my one hit wonder strange song theme with this very sobering offering. This song was written at a time when we feared the world could end in a nuclear holocaust. Here is its background (taken from Wikipedia): The lyrics of the original German version tell a story: 99 balloons are set free and

OK this is not normally within my musical taste but alas it is a clip that my autistic daughter often listens to. In a strange way I find this song interesting although I probably wouldn’t invest in buying an album. I do like the unusual quality of this woman’s voice and the tune is also
