I'm looking forward to Saturday's meaning something again. One of the huge mental issues with being unemployed is that weekends blend in with every other day. Don't get me wrong - I am not resting and relaxing while out of work - got a million things on, as well as looking for a job! But, when the weekend comes around, there is great feeling of relief. I want to look forward to the weekend again.
Today I'm going to feature another 5 songs in my old TOP 100 - this week, it's tracks 90-86:
90. Memphis Skyline
Rufus Wainwright
Want Two
I love Rufus's voice when it is deliberately low and subdued like this - his voice blends with the piano so simply and beautifully. I've never seen the Memphis Skyline, but if I should ever fly over it, I will make sure this song is playing on my iPod!
89. You Never Give Me Your Money
The Beatles
Abbey Road
When I get onto top albums, I'll bore you to death about how much I love Abbey Road by The Beatles - to me, it is the finest album I have ever heard. This song stands out, as it builds and builds - from a soft beginning, Paul's voice lifts it, and then you get a crescendo of a finish (with a wonderful harmony of voices with a couple of minutes left)! "One sweet dream, cam true, today"
88. styrofoam
Daniel Powter
Daniel Powter
This is just a wonderfully chirpy pop song - it is OK to like them, I swear! You can't fail to be hooked in by the piano towards the end. There is nothing greatly artistic about this - it's catchy!
87. You're My Best Friend
Queen
Greatest Hits
Appearing in the Menace2Music collab playlist for the second time (one of only two tracks to achieved this so far), You're My Best Friend is a great Queen track. I know Who Wants to Live Forever features very highly, but this one deserves its place too.
86. Sing
Blur
Trainspotting
Great beat, nice harmonies - this is quite a tune. The thing that amazes me about this (and Song 2), is that I've often found people surprised that this is a song by Blur. I'm not sure if they ever released this song (I doubt it) - for me, I hear this, I see the Trainspotting film.
All available tracks have been added to the spotify collab playlist - check them out there!
Thanks for tuning in - look forward to catching-up with you tomorrow to have a little bit of a sum-up, as Menace2Music celebrates three weeks in existence! Hey, our 21st!
All the very best - Menace2Music
