Happy

Pharrell Williams wrote and recorded the song for the soundtrack of the 3D computer-animated action comedy film Despicable Me 2. He said he was asked to write a song about Gru – who was a grumpy and unhappy character for most of Despicable Me  – falling in love and becoming more cheerful in the film’s sequel.   The song plays during a pivotal moment in Despicable Me 2‘s storyline, and Williams…

Song Lyric Sunday: Poison, Wine, Ho Hey

This week the theme for Song Lyric Sunday, as set out by Jim in Going Unplugged, is to play an acoustic rock song. Taking my definition of acoustic instruments to mean anything that existed before electricity, I’m playing you two songs today that I absolutely love, which are markedly different in nature and style. I could have gone for many of the ‘unplugged’ variety, where rock songs are…

Bobby and Beyond

This week on Song Lyric Sunday (SLS) Jim has asked us to find a song that features nautical terms, words connected with ships, sailing, sailors, maritime or navigation. I’ve chosen “Beyond the Sea” by Bobby Darin. According to Wikipedia, “Beyond the Sea” is the English-language version of the French song “La Mer” by Charles Trenet, popularized by Bobby Darin in 1959. While the French original…

Mixed Music Bag and Song Lyric Sunday

TUNAGE ARTICLE After reading some music posts this morning, I realized I have the opportunity to combine Glyn’s and Jim’s challenges. Let’s get at it… Here is my response to Glyn’s Mixed Music Bag In 1998, I was on assignment in Wisconsin, and during my downtime, I attended several music festivals. One night, the fellows and I were captured by a funky bassline. We followed the sound, expecting…

Brain Damage

Songwriter: Roger Waters. Roger Waters has stated that the insanity-themed lyrics are based on former Floyd frontman Syd Barrett’s mental instability, with the line “I’ll see you on the dark side of the moon” indicating that he felt related to him in terms of mental idiosyncrasies. The line “And if the band you’re in starts playing different tunes…” references Barrett’s behaviour near the end of…

Hey Jude

“Hey Jude” is a ballad Paul McCartney wrote for John Lennon’s son, Julian. It was a reminder for him to open up his heart and let the blended family grow. The Beatles’ ballad was originally titled “Hey Jules” to more directly address Julian, but McCartney later changed the song to “Hey Jude” to fit the sonic direction. This 1968 classic became a number-one hit on the US Billboard Hot 100 for nine…

Song Lyric Sunday: Two Bites of An Apple

For this week, Jim is inviting us to play something ‘recorded at Apple Records.’ You can see what he says in his post here. Apple Records is a record label founded by the Beatles in 1968 as a division of Apple Corps Ltd. which was initially intended as a creative outlet for the Beatles, both as a group and individually. They expanded this idea to include a selection of other artists that they had…

Song Lyric Sunday - King Diamond's Abigail

TUNAGE – SLS This post has been over 30 years in the making. Let me explain with a little back story. So, in 1987, a guy I knew in high school suggested three albums. Over a period of several months, this guy and I had drunken conversations about heavy metal. During this time, I knew hardly anything about the genre beyond the typical bands everyone listened to at the time, Van Halen, Motley…
