Covid Island Discs
During the UK restrictions caused by Covid-19, I posted each day a different song from Youtube that I particularly like. These songs are taken from the many rock and pop artists I have listened to since I was a very young child. The first and final day of Covid Island Discs span 482 days from the 21st of March 2020 to the 19th of July 2021 when all UK restrictions were finally lifted. Enjoy browsing this page for hundreds of songs I have collated on my Youtube channel Bensonium Music. Feel free to subscribe to my channel using the red Youtube button below if you want to be notified of when I release new summary videos of each completed Covid Island Disc week (this is still a very slow work in progress).
Below is a single random week playlist video which will allow you to listen to the set of seven songs that I cited that week and seven songs randomly chosen from the whole collection of songs that make up the complete catalogue. Finally, if you scroll to the bottom of this page, you will find three Youtube videos where you can enjoy many hours of continuous music as these videos contain the complete playlists from all the completed weeks.
You can also list songs by: Artist Publication Year and check out these Artist Biographies
The Completed Catalogue
Week Playlist Videos
So this playlist included seven songs covering the following events:

- In memory of Delores O'Riorden: When You're gone

- Response to the climate chaos of 2022: Ship of fools by World Party

- Death of Christine McVie: Little Lies, Fleetwood Mac
A Random Week of Songs from Covid Island Discs (Week 1: 21st March 2020 — Week 69: 16th July 2021)
Day 83: Heart of Glass, Blondie (Week 12)
???? Once is love and it was a gas, soon turned out a heart of glass ♬
Day 158: Stay with me, Shakespears Sister (Week 23)
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 163: Why does it always rain on me?, Travis (Week 24)
I think most of us at some points in our life can relate to the lyrics of this song. Very interesting video and well worth watching.
Day 235: Paperback writer (Week 34)
Always enjoy finding Beatles videos on Youtube because there aren't many of them. I guess I can relate to this song as I too have written a paperback although its not really "a dirty story about a dirty man" ????
Day 299: Up where we belong, Joe Cocker & Jennifer Warnes (Week 43)
This is a particularly memorable duet from the 1980s and of course was the theme song to hit movie "An officer and a Gentleman". Again lots of teenage memories.
The other great thing about this song is the wonderful contrast between Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warne's voice; the rough with the smooth really works well in this duet. The other really moving thing about this duet the look of absolute love and admiration Jennifer gives Joe repeatedly as they sing the duet together.
Day 335: Only Sixteen, Dr Hook (Week 48)
Time for another old one from an American band that makes its first appearance in Covid Island Discs. As I've said a few times since starting blog, it is strange how you can mine so much music and yet forget about bands that brought you lots of joy when you were a twenty something year old. Dr Hook had some great hits in their time but this is probably one of their best known ones. Unfortunately the recording quality of this clip isn't the best.
Day 445: Back in the USSR, The Beatles (Week 64)
So on Sunday I cited my first Beach Boys song California Girls. That song stimulated the Beatles to include a little bit of beachboy-style musing over lovely Russian woman.
