Something on the chilly side is what Jim – from A Unique Title For Me – is looking for this week for Song Lyric Sunday. So, just to get you all up and out of bed on a Sunday morning, here is one of Led Zeppelin’s forays into faux Norse mythology. Quintessential thunder rock from…
You could say that Jim at New Epic Author has turned up the heat for this week’s Song Lyric Sunday, Although I’d rather you didn’t. The chosen theme is ‘Burn/Fire/Flame’. The Grateful Dead have got this covered with one of their most popular songs, originally released on the seminal ‘American Beauty’ album in 1970. Look…
Broadly speaking, the theme for this week’s Song Lyric Sunday, as set by Jim at A Unique Title For Me, is broadcast music. Plenty to choose from there, but I’ve just gone for one of the great classics where, again, the key word appears in the lyrics rather than the title. I really don’t think…
This week, I’m pretty confident that I won’t be duplicating anybody else’s contribution to the Song Lyric Sunday challenge hosted by Jim at newepicauthor. The theme is, broadly speaking, units of time – minutes, hours etc. and this choice is one of those where the reference is in the lyrics rather than the title. Nonetheless,…
Jim at A Unique Title For Me is looking for some educational or cultural references to meet the theme of this week’s Song Lyric Sunday: ‘School/Books/Learning’ ‘Ballad of a Thin Man’ from Dylan’s 1965 album, Highway 61 Revisited’ is another selection where the key word is in the lyrics of the song rather than its…
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…
Jim at A Unique Title For Me has now taken over stewardship of Song Lyric Sunday from the much-missed Helen and has set the theme of ‘Occupation’ for this week. This is the first thing that came to mind when I saw what the theme was. Madame and I used to listen to this much-covered…
A pretty broad theme for this week’s Song Lyric Sunday, being hosted by Jim at A Unique Title For Me: ‘Harmony, Melody. Music’. Plenty of possibilities there. If I hadn’t drunk from the almost inexhaustible well that is the Grateful Dead’s songbook only two weeks ago, I would probably have plumped for ‘The Music Never…
‘Hills or Mountains’ is the theme for this week’s Song Lyric Sunday Challenge currently being hosted by Jim at A Unique Title For Me. This is another case of choosing a song where one of the keywords appears in the lyrics rather than the title. In this case it’s ‘mountain and the song is ‘I…
It had to be this one. Jim at newepicauthor has set the theme of ‘River’ for this week’s Song Lyric Sunday challenge. So here we have the ultimate elegy for Jerry Garcia: the last song he sang with the Grateful Dead at their last show in July 1995. Three weeks later and he was gone.…
