Song Lyric Sunday: Heart – ‘Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun’
There’s no denying that Helen has given us plenty to choose from in setting the theme of ‘Heart’ for Song Lyric Sunday this week. Rather like the recent topic of ‘Angel’, though, it would probably be necessary to issue a Category Seven schmaltz alert. No such problem with this choice, however: a defining point in…

Song Lyric Sunday: Devil/Demon – ‘Friend Of The Devil’
Thanks to Helen for the heads-up that this edition of Song Lyric Sunday would be the opposite of last week’s ‘Angel’. Not that I needed much notice, as this Grateful Dead classic was the very first thing that came to mind. Ironically, it’s a lot less devilish than my ‘Angel’ offering from last Sunday. In…

Song Lyric Sunday: Angel – ‘The Black Angel’s Death Song’
This week Helen’s taken ‘Angel’ as her theme for Song Lyric Sunday. Hmmm – schmaltz alert. There are certainly hundreds, and probably thousands, of songs about angels. Indeed, there are quite a few simply titled ‘Angel’. All the ones that I can think of are, to varying degrees, saccharine-coated. Except this, by the Velvet Underground.…

Song Lyric Sunday: Brother/Sister – ‘Sisters Of Mercy’
‘Siblings’ is the theme for this week’s Song Lyric Sunday, set by Helen at This Thing Called Life One Word At A Time. This song isn’t about actual sisters but it still fits the brief – as well as transporting me straight back to my 1970 university bedsit. Oh the sisters of mercy, they are…

Song Lyric Sunday: Stay – ‘Let’s Stay Together’
This week for my response to Helen’s Song Lyric Sunday challenge of ‘Stay’, I’ve strayed a little further from my usual modus operandi. My first, instinctive, thought was the raucous ‘Stay With Me’ by Rod Stewart and The Faces. However, they featured in this category not so long ago. The second tune that came to…
