I had to make this my song of the day today because I play this video over and over. These guys are just sick talented. The whole song is incredible, but mostly, the first soaring flare of “I’m at a payphone…” won’t get out of my head and just keeps calling me back over...

I’ve been listening to this on repeat for the last three or four days, if not watching the video. Why? I don’t know. Yeah- I know, it’s old. I know. Everyone had their day loving it. Yeah- it was a big hit. It’s typical super pop fare. Still, I love it. I totally dug...

Read more →In the early 2000’s, I listened to a lot of Adult Contemporary Pop, and in 2000, this group released a first album that had a song that got a lot of airplay- “I Think God Can Explain”. I liked Splender’s edgy pop rock sound, so I bought their album, and then two years later,...

Read more →Sad to say it, but this excellent 80’s song comes to mind when I hear all of Pyongyang’s sabre-rattling from North Korea. Provoke a cobra long enough, and odds are you will probably get bit. May things not come to that. The song...
Read more →There is definitely Midwestern blood in me. The first time I heard this song, I was pulled in by the lyrics, and I thought, yeah- I love what I’ve experienced of these places and spaces. Yawning skies and forever fields, flat far as you can see, the smell of the earth, of soil and...
Read more →It’s St. Patrick’s Day? Spring is awakening? What better time then for a Corrs tune- and a love song at that. One of my favorites ever.
Read more →Every time I hear a Blake Shelton song, I am inevitably caught by some hook in the musical phrasing- either by some catchy instrumental arrangement, or a comfortable cadence in the song, and as a dancing fool, I end up really liking it. This song is no different. It just rolls along, slow and...
Read more →I’m not a huge Taylor Swift fan, but after hearing the music and then listening to the lyrics of this song, I thought it was post-worthy. It’s a gift to realize you can love- and be loved- once more when you’ve loved before, and that love was ignored or taken for granted. It’s a...
