Song Lyric Sunday this week is all about automobiles, be they limousines, jalopies or anything in between. Or, in this case, any that happen to be passing by outside a cheap motel room. From the ‘L.A. Woman’ album and with writing credits for all four band members, this is just a very simple, traditional 12-bar…
I originally categorised the overall overall theme for Jim’s Song Lyric Sunday challenge this week’s as ‘Aspects’: the key words are ‘bottom’, ‘end’, ‘middle’, ‘side’ and ‘top’. Although it seems it refers to Football terms. I had not spotted that, I must say. My immediate thought was ‘The End’ by The Doors, but I’ve used…
Jim’s theme for Song Lyric Sunday this week could be broadly classified as ‘thoroughfares’ (streets, avenues, etc). Plenty of songs to choose from, then. I’ve gone for just your basic road, however, mainly because it gives me the opportunity to post another number from The Doors’ performance at the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970.…

However, the lyrics of this stupendous Doors song do indeed feature the word lake and, bizarrely, it was the first song that came to my mind when I saw the prompt, so I make no apologies for using it.

In most cases, my response to Helen’s Song Lyric Sunday theme will contain the keyword in the title, thereby displaying a regrettably typical lack of imagination. Which is why my first thought on seeing this week’s theme of ‘Sleep’ was John Lennon’s ‘How Do You Sleep?’ But then I asked myself why forego an opportunity…
Helen’s theme for this week is ‘Break’. My immediate thought was the Beach Boys’ ‘Break Away’, but that was immediately superseded by this. Earlier this year, The Doors released an album and film of their performance at The Isle Of Wight Festival in 1970. I was there and this is one of my most vivid…
D? Dylan of course. It’s really hard to imagine anyone with an interest in music and a serious side to their personality hitting their teens in the mid-sixties who wouldn’t go for Bob Dylan as a major influence. I’m certanly no exception. I was never an enthusiast for the traditional folk music that Billy Connolly…
