Song 259 (Van Morrison--"Moondance")

-


I did not have a song ready to choose again, so I decided on this incredible one by Van Morrison. Most would agree that this song is one of his best and usually is enjoyed by all sorts of different individuals. Anyway, this nice Jazz tune makes an excellent song for today.

Here is the studio version on YouTube.

6849. Creed - Higher

-
Image
From: Human Clay ; Year: 1999; Genre: Alternative Rock I don't know why, but was thinking about the band Creed today, not really their music per se, but about back when they were everywhere about two and a half decades ago. I personally remember their music and music videos being everywhere; heck, even to this day I cannot stand With Arms Wide Open . Not that there is a problem with the song, but it just got way overplayed and shoved down my throat to the point I made a rather dirty parody to it.... Whilst I have never claimed or had my "thumb on the pulse" of music news or wot is going on therein, I do remember the band seemingly imploding somewhere around '03. I believe that substance abuse by the front man and perhaps one other member led to their disbanding. From wot I've read, it seems that they reunited a couple of times since and recorded an album back in '09, but, again I have not checked them out; I hope they're doing well in their endeavours. Any...

6841. The Nice - Brandenburger

-
Image
From: Ars Longa Vita Brevis ; Year: 1968; Genre: Symphonic Rock/Progressive Rock Here's a great one from The Nice, who were known for such big, bombastic musical terrors. As you might be able to discern from the title, both it and the music it contains derives from Johann Sebastian Bach's Brandenburg Concertos ; the Third in particular. Keith Emerson is as amazing as ever on the keys in this "classical rocker."   Hear Brandenburger on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: The Guess Who - Lightfoot     My song pick 2 years ago today: Jethro Tull - Roots to Branches     My song pick 3 years ago today: Queen - The Prophet's Song   My song pick 4 years ago today: Bee Gees - To Love Somebody   My song pick 5 years ago today: Marillion - Warm Wet Circles   My song pick 6 years ago today: Dire Straits - Tunnel of Love   My song pick 7 years ago today: Banchee - 3/4 Song My song pick 8 years ago today: Parliament - ...

6860. Triumph - Child of the City

-
Image
From: Edge of Excess ; Year: 1992; Genre: Hard Rock This one comes from the, sadly, most recent studio album from the band. On the record they were minus original vocalist/guitarists Rik Emmett and instead featured  Phil X on guitar whilst drummer Gil Moore performed lead vocals. I've always liked most of Triumph's material, but have never been huge into the band, or anything past the mid 1980s-ish that they put out. However, never really looked into wot they were up to since, and as it turns out, not too much. Recently though, I learned of their most recent reunion and North American tour, which got me curious.  Anyway, this was one of the lead singles from Edge of Excess, and while not close to the band's best, it's still more than good enough to quench ones' thirst for their brand of arena-rock.   Hear Child of the City on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Aretha Franklin - Rock Steady     My song pick 2 years ago today: D...

6864. Melvins with Napalm Death - Some Kind of Antichrist

-
Image
From: Savage Imperial Death March ; Year: 2026; Genre: Sludge Metal/Grindcore Whilst going over the Melvins' catalogue and discovered that they had a neat collaboration with Napalm Death last year, which was 100% beyond awesome! For me the Melvins never cease to be satisfying in both quality and quantity of music; it is rare, even to this day, for them to not release something every year. Anyway, apparently two members of the Melvins and three from Napam Death came together and put together some unique metal music; this track was one of the first to really stand out to me. Such a great song and record!   Hear Some Kind of Antichrist on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: David Bowie - Fascination     My song pick 2 years ago today: Lionel Richie - Stuck on You     My song pick 3 years ago today: The Rascals - A Beautiful Mornin g   My song pick 4 years ago today: Herbie Hancock - Rockit   My song pick 5 years ago today...
