So this week my top two videos are: There’s your trouble, Dixie Chicks Prettiest Eyes, The Beautiful South I like the Dixie Chick video because of the clever use of a kaleidoscope effect. However my favourite video this week is Prettiest Eyes by The Beautiful South. I like the barbershop scene although the razor cut […]

Time for another song from one of my all time favourite bands Supertramp. Dreamer was one of their hit songs from their Crime of the Century album and it certainly made the Aussie singles and album charts. When I listen to this song it always makes me feel a little sad because in many ways

Time for another song from this great little entertainer I met who was the lead act to a Paul Kelly concert that my daughter and I attended in the Northern Quarter or Manchester (see Covid Island Disc Day 206). Such a talented musician.

This is the first song of The Beautiful South to appear in Covid Island Discs and what a lovely little song capturing the memories of a man looking back over the shared experiences of his long life with his lover. I particularly like the line: “Take a look at these crows feet, just look! Sitting

Recently I watched a Youtube video about Coldplay which discussed why they lost their popularity in the naughties. This is the title song from their album Viva-la-vida; an album which did not do as well as their first set of albums such as Parachutes and X&Y. Yet I still think this is a quality song

Covid Island Discs the missing years 1998. So this song by the Dixie chicks back then they were known as “The Chicks” was released in 1998 so fills in on of my missing years. A nicely put together Country & Western song complete with a violin and a catchy boppy tune.

Missing year 2014: So this little gem of a song has a great little lyric capturing the reality for many rock bands struggling to make it big and remaining relevant amongst all stiff competition. I particularly like his reflections on a rockstar’s love relationships in the following lyrics: Well it must be hard to get

So three strong contenders for best video for week 46 are: Ocean Eyes, Billie Eilish Jesus he knows me, Genesis The Ghost inside, Broken Bells I like Billie Eilish video mainly because she really does in this video have ocean eyes (an incredibly aqua blue) which go so well with the lyrics of the song.
