Song | Artist | Year | Comments |
---|---|---|---|
Beautiful Day | U2 | 2000 | This song always makes me think of Archibald MacLeish's poem You, Andrew Marvel. Seeing the Earth spinning below you. |
Super Rappin' No. 2 | Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five | 1983 | This is a slightly different version from the one I have on vinyl that I transferred to digital. I apologize if the lyrics are inappropriate in this version. |
I'm Free | The Who | 1969 | |
Golden Brown | The Stranglers | 1981 | How often do you hear harpsichord in a pop song? Especially one by an 80s punk/new wave band. |
Home | Zero 7 | 2004 | I always appreciate song suggestions! This one was suggested by a student back in 2005. What a great song. |
Take Five | Dave Brubeck Quartet | 1959 | Jazz can be an acquired taste. This piece is a bit more accessible. |
Hunger Strike | Temple of the Dog | 1991 | Members of Pearl Jam combined with members of Soundgarden on this song. |
I Can See For Miles | The Who | 1967 | |
Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In | The 5th Dimension | 1969 | |
Old Man | Neil Young | 1972 | |
Iris | The Goo Goo Dolls | 1998 | |
Elama | Yasser Habib | 2004 | I recall being in the old Borders Bookstore, Bryn Mawr
in its final days before closing. (That's where many of
my postcards came from.) A strange compilation CD called
Sahara Lounge was in the sale rack. It was mostly music
from the Middle East by Turkish, Arab and Persian artists.
I took a chance
and bought it without even knowing any of the songs.
What a great decision! Not in Spotify. But you can find it on youtube. |
Pretty Penny | Stone Temple Pilots | 1994 | I wouldn't say that I'm a huge Stone Temple Pilots fan, but on each of their albums, there's a couple of songs I really like. |
Hey World (Don't Give Up) | Michael Franti | 2008 | |
Let Down | Radiohead | 1997 | My favorite Radiohead song. |
My Culture | 1 Giant Leap | 2002 |
The monologue in the beginning is spoken by George Nuku,
A Maori sculptor. (The Maori are the native people of New Zealand.)
I'm the sum total of my ancestors I carry their DNA We are representatives of a long line of people And we cart them around everywhere This long line of people That goes back to the beginning of time And when we meet, they meet, other lines of people And we say bring together the lines of me. I like that way of thinking about us. |
Fingertips (Part 2) | Stevie Wonder | 1963 | Back then, he was known as Little Stevie Wonder. |
Tango | Throwing Muses | 1996 | Not in Spotify. I can only find the whole album on youtube, so you have to fast forward to 21:13 for the song. I wouldn't have thought that this song would be so hard to find. |
Strange Days | The Doors | 1967 | Yet another excellent Doors song that was not a hit. |
The Ocean | Led Zeppelin | 1973 | Quintessential summer song. The title is an allusion to their live audiences who seemed like an ocean of people. |
Rock Lobster | The B-52s | 1979 | There was a time in the 80s when this song was played at every school dance. And as soon as it came on, everyone came out to the dance floor. During the "Down, down, down" part, we all slowing sagged down to the floor, just like in the Blues Brothers movie where Otis Day & the Nights sing "Shout" where they start to sing "Little bit softer now". Strange forgotten customs. |
Paint It Black | The Rolling Stones | 1966 | |
Tears of a Clown | The English Beat | 1983 | A great ska-oriented cover of the Smokey Robinson song. |
Only Time Will Tell | Asia | 1982 | Strange to think that Asia was formed from members of the best groups of progressive rock in the early 70s: Yes, King Crimson and Emerson, Lake & Palmer. They had a new lease on life as a successful pop group in the 80s. |
Joe's Record | Sarandon | 2009 | Another song from a free record company sampler I found on Amazon. Quite a catchy little tune. |
Thank You | Led Zeppelin | 1969 | One of the only times you will hear Jimmy Page singing. You can hear him singing alongside their usual vocalist Robert Plant at about 1:05. And don't get fooled by the fake fade-out at 4:15. I think they did it just to mess with radio DJs who would often talk over the ends of songs. |
Frederick | Patti Smith Group | 1979 | One of my favorite love songs. Patti met Fred "Sonic" Smith of the MC5 while touring. They fell in love and married. Sadly, Fred passed away in 1994. |
One Night in Bankok | Murray Head | 1984 | You might have heard this song before, but did you know it came
from a musical called Chess about a chess tournament during
the Cold War? Strange but true. Spotify only has the long version; start at 1:48 if you want to avoid the long intro. |
Beginnings | Chicago | 1969 | Such a nice song. So upbeat. |
Skateaway | Dire Straits | 1980 |
