Jim’s third and final letter-themed Song Lyric Sunday prompt is D or J. You can have both if you like. ‘Julia Dream’ was originally the B-side of the 1968 single ‘It Would Be So Nice’ – a song which, I have to confess, passed me by completely. Which must mean that I first heard this…
Week two of Song Lyric Sunday’s mini-series of letters of the alphabet gives us M or A. It occurred to me that if Jim can have a short season, so can I, so here is another song by Pink Floyd. ‘Astronomy Domine’ is rather different from last week’s ‘Green Is The Colour’, although I suspect…
To begin the New Year, Jim is embarking on a three-week season of Song Lyric Sunday prompts consisting of a choice of two letters of the alphabet, the title of the selected song having to begin with one of them. First up is P or G, and my first thought was this Pink Floyd beauty,…

Jim at A Unique Title For Me is celebrating the USA’s Mothers’ Day in this week’s Song Lyric Sunday. In the UK, Mothers’ Day always takes place during Lent, so I don’t feel under any obligation to post a paean of praise to my own mother, well-deserved though it would be. Instead, we go back…
Jim has set the theme of ‘Animal’ for this week’s Song Lyric Sunday challenge. I think we’re overdue another dose of Pink Floyd in this thread, so here’s ‘Dogs of War, originally released on the ‘A Momentary Lapse of Reason’ album. Dogs of war and men of hate With no cause, we don’t discriminate Discovery…
Here is the fourth instalment of my contribution to the 30-Day Song Challenge currently running. 19 A song that makes you think about life: ‘Five Years’ “My brain hurts a lot” So, what would you do if you definitively knew the date of your own demise (and, more particularly, that it was not that far…
