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

From: Count Three & Pray ; Year: 1986; Genre: New Wave I absolutely love how atmospheric and heavy this song is, from the haunting vocals to the shambling rhythm and subtle wailing of the lead guitar; it's just a fabulous track and one of my favourites from the band.   Hear You Don't Know on YouTube.       My song pick 1 year ago today: Gentle Giant - In a Glass House   My song pick 2 years ago today: Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) - Telephone Line   My song pick 3 years ago today: King Crimson - Level Five   My song pick 4 years ago today: Parliament - Placebo Syndrome My song pick 5 years ago today: Los Lonely Boys - Heaven My song pick 6 years ago today: Taylor Hawkins & The Coattail Riders - Louise My song pick 7 years ago today: .38 Special - Hold On Loosely My song pick 8 years ago today: Deep Purple - Anthem My song pick 9 years ago today: Billy Joel - You May Be Right My song pick 10 years ago today: Jethro Tull - Songs...

From: Love Life ; Year: 1984; Genre: New Wave/Synthpop Yesterday while out and about I had this synthpop single from Berlin come on and I thought it would make a great pick. This is another one that brings back the memories of the 1980s and the sound therein. Hear No More Words on YouTube.

From: Count Three & Pray ; Year: 1986; Genre: New Wave It's been another very busy day, but I'm still trying to get a good pick in. This has always been a personal favourite from the new wave/pop band Berlin. It's another one of those songs where it's poppy enough to get attention from the masses, but still musical enough to keep a person with more discerning tastes amused as well. Watch the music video clip on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Ozzy Osbourne - I Don't Wanna Stop My song pick two years ago today: Primus - Here Come the Bastards My song pick three years ago today: Ringo Starr - It Don't Come Easy My song pick four years ago today: Molly Hatchet - Fall of the Peacemakers My song pick five years ago today: Don Mclean - American Pie My song pick six years ago today: Jethro Tull - Later, That Same Evening

This is another song that has been going through my mind off and on for the last couple of days and I thought that it would make a good pick for today. This has to be one of "hookier" songs in existence especially in the chorus and with the transitions. Here is a studio recording on YouTube. Here is the music video on YouTube. Here is a live performance on YouTube. +
