William's Song a Day Blog - est. September 2007

From: Hollies' Greatest ; Year: 1968 (1967); Genre: Rock/Pop This one started playing in my mind today; I had other songs in mind for today's pick, but when a song that I haven't heard in a while pops into my head I try to choose it. This one has a really interesting melodic structure and the verses and chorus contrast in a way I really like. Hear On a Carousel on YouTube.

From: Word of Mouth ; Year: 1984; Genre: Rock Despite the use of a drum machine on this track it still has a lot of charm and is a good song, but it would've been better with a live drummer in my opinion.

From: Carmen (opera); Year: 1875; Genre: Romantic Period/classical Even if you don't know this piece by title, you definitely should know it; the Carmen Overture is a very, very heavily used melody into this day.

From: Ma Belle Amie ; Year: 1970 (1969); Genre: Rock/Pop Another one of those "gifts" from the recesses of my mind that happened to come to my consciousness. I cannot even begin to remember when I last heard this song, but I still kind of like the hooks and the arrangement of it mostly. For those who don't know, neither did I earlier today, this one comes from the Dutch band Tee Set, which had a few hits, but this one was their biggest at least on this side of the Atlantic Ocean.

From: Last Call ; Year: 2014; Genre: Celtic Rock/Indie Rock It's kind of sad knowing that this is the last song on Black 47's final album, but this track is a good sendoff for such a great band; it really encapsulates their sound over the years.

From: Space 1992: Rise of the Chaos Wizards ; Year: 2015; Genre: Power Metal/Symphonic Metal Was listening to some of their music whilst out running errands and as usual it felt like a great pick for today.

From: Rocket Cottage ; Year: 1976; Genre: Progressive Rock/Folk Rock/Hard Rock As with most of this album, most of the music is a little harder than their normal fair.

From: Beat the Drum ; Year: 1998; Genre: Progressive Rock Made it to 4300! I'm kind of picking an "epic" song because I cannot think of an apropos titled track, but this is an excellent track and worthy of an "odometer rollover pick."

From: Raspberries ; Year: 1972; Genre: Rock Got an old record player working last night that was kaput and one of the songs I had going was this one.

From: Bayou Country ; Year: 1969; Genre: Blues Rock This one's been on my mind off and on for about a month now; finally getting around to pick it.

From: Zenyattà Mondatta ; Year: 1980; Genre: New Wave/Rock Kind of taken aback that I'm over 11 years into this blog and hadn't picked this one yet, which is one of The Police's biggest hits.

From: New Crown ; Year: 2014; Genre: Hard Rock/Metal Had them on my mind today and wanted to pick another one from the band anyway.

From: There Are But Four Small Faces ; Year: 1967; Genre: Psychedelic Rock Recently this song came to my mind after many decades of not hearing it, even at that I had not listened to it that much. Funny enough, my memories hooked to this song are from an old Commodore 64 game I believe was called " Street Beat ." It was a game where you went around a city in a sandbox style where you were supposed to make random people dance. Funny enough, all the places and landmarks in the game were named after places in popular songs; one of which was Itchycoo Park. It's hard for me to not think about this game when hearing this song.

From: Labour of Lust ; Year: 1979; Genre: Rock/Pop Had this song on my mind as I was sitting down to make my post today, so, as always and since I like it, I'm picking it.
