Time for another Nirvana hit. I think the most distinctive thing about this song is the base riff. Nirvana always remind me of my early days in Manchester all the way back in the ’90s. In those days I was leading the pre-teenager group at my local church called Pathfinders. Once a year we would …
This song get’s my vote for its musical and lyrical intensity. A very moving song about a very sad subject of the permanent breakdown of a father and son’s relationship laced with permanent unforgiveness on the part of the father.
So this song is particularly interesting lyrically for it covers a disturbing theme of a guy who hits a woman in his car while driving home. Out of fear he doesn’t stop but continues on his way. It is clear from the song that the woman is not killed but remains in a permanent coma. …
A very dark song by Genesis taking a very appropriate dig at the false prophets of Christianity that use the things of Jesus to make a shed load of money by conning the gullible out of their hard earned cash.

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 …

This song came out in the 90s when I was leading a young teenage group at Platt known as Pathfinders. On one weekend away all the guys had this playing on their walkmans (before the days of MP3 players). This was my first introduction to grunge music. Kurt Cobain another entertainer who didn’t make it …
Another masterpiece by REM. I love the lines “Oh no I said too much, I haven’t said enough.” Yes there is something very true about these lines, especially in boy/girl relationships. Very strange video clip though with some interesting dancing by Michael Stipe. ????
