When I saw that Helen had set the theme of ‘Boys’ for this week’s instalment of ‘Song Lyric Sunday’, I had the unusual experience of simultaneously having two potential candidates immediately come to mind. As such, it was only ever going to be Thin Lizzy’s ‘The Boys Are Back In Town’ or this by David…
Helen’s theme for this week’s Song Lyric Sunday is ‘Last’. A couple of pretty obvious tunes popped into my head – and yours too, no doubt: ‘The Last Time’, ‘Last Christmas’ (which I thought about, but perhaps it’s too early). But to step just a little outside my usual comfort zone, here’s a song by…
“… I think you know That I can’t let go” Yep, that’s right. Monsieur Deadhead goes pop for this week’s Song Lyric Sunday Challenge of ‘First’ But this is very superior pop: Abba, of course. And I can relate to this, because I found myself in very similar circumstances once – albeit before this song…
For Helen’s theme this week of ‘Listen’, you could do a whole lot worse than ‘See Me, Feel Me’, the seismic climax of The Who’s ‘Tommy’. Unfortunately, I used it in August last year when the theme was ‘heat’. So, back to the drawing board and the default option: the Grateful Dead, of course. This song may…
I know for a fact that I wasn’t the only one to have immediately thought ‘Soul Man’ when I saw Helen’s Song Lyric Sunday theme this week of ‘soul’ because, when I looked, another blogger had already jumped straight in. Hey ho, I also know for a fact that there are plenty of songs out…
After last week’s theme of ‘giving’, I suppose I should have had at least an inkling that the theme for Helen’s Song Lyric Sunday this time would be ‘taking’. Unfortunately, though, I’m not that quick on the uptake. No matter. This is a comparatively obscure Grateful Dead song, with words by Robert Hunter and music…
The summer of 1972. You had to be there. I’m grateful every day that I was. No, I can’t forget this evening Or your face as you were leaving But I guess that’s just the way the story goes You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows Yes, it shows No, I can’t…
I haven’t had too much time to think about Helen’s Song Lyric Sunday this week, and I’ve already deployed Grateful Dead’s ‘Loser’ for another theme, so here’s something from outside my usual gene pool. Let’s have a classic tearjerker from Bread this week. And why not? That doesn’t make it a bad thing. Lost and…
I hadn’t guessed Helen’s theme for this week’s Song Lyric Sunday, desp[ite the clues from the previous two challenges. It’s pretty clear with the wisdom of hindsight, though. It must have been hiding in plain sight. Be that as it may, when I saw that the theme was ‘hiding’, I knew that I had listened…
Looks like I was seven days ahead of the action with a song for this week’s prompt of ‘Find/Found’. Hey ho, I can hardly post the same song two weeks running. After I therefore had to set aside U2’s ‘I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For’, the next one that came to mind was…
