From: Crowded House ; Year: 1986; Genre: Rock/Pop How is it Monday again? It seems that I was eagerly awaiting it to begin; did it fly by. Anyway, for not apparent reason whatsoever I had Crowded House on my mind a lot thus far today; thought I'd pick one from their debut album, which is my favourite, of course.   Hear World Where You Live on YouTube.       My song pick 1 year ago today: Terry Jacks - Seasons in the Sun   My song pick 2 years ago today: Marcus Miller - Tales   My song pick 3 years ago today: AC/DC - Shot Down In Flames   My song pick 4 years ago today: The Cult - Rain   My song pick 5 years ago today: Ian Hunter - All-American Alien Boy   My song pick 6 years ago today: Duran Duran - Hold Back the Rain My song pick 7 years ago today: Rush - Ghost of a Chance My song pick 8 years ago today: Lakeside - Fantastic Voyage My song pick 9 years ago today: Asia - One Step Closer My song pick 10 years ago today: Michael Mar...

From: Temple of Low Men ; Year: 1988; Genre: Alternative Rock/Rock Had Crowded House on my mind for some reason; guess I have not picked one of their songs for a rather long while, so I think it's time. I believe this is one of the lead singles from their sophomore album, which has great beat and overall sound; you can definitely hear influences of other bands of the era in it. Definitely among my favourites from the band.   Hear Never Be The Same on YouTube.       My song pick 1 year ago today: Elton John - This Song Has No Title   My song pick 2 years ago today: Tin Tin - Toast and Marmalade for Tea   My song pick 3 years ago today: Funkadelic - Stink Finger   My song pick 4 years ago today: April Wine - Crash and Burn My song pick 5 years ago today: Foreigner - Cold As Ice My song pick 6 years ago today: Rush - Everyday Glory My song pick 7 years ago today: Rod Stewart - The Motown Song My song pick 8 years ago today: Zapp - I Can Make You...

From: Crowded House ; Year: 1986; Genre: Rock/Pop/Alternative Rock I Walk Away was originally recorded by Split Enz, which was Neil Finn's previous band that he wrote the song for. I guess he decided it was one they wanted to do over with Crowded House, being that it was a charting single by Split Enz. Whatever the case it's a good piece of mid '80s music and definitely worth a listen. Hear I Walk Away on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Fleetwood Mac - Gold Dust Woman My song pick two years ago today: Rush - Workin' Them Angels My song pick three years ago today: AC/DC - For Those About to Rock (We Salute You) My song pick four years ago today: Lobo - Running Deer My song pick five years ago today: Rush - Wish Them Well My song pick six years ago today: The Beatles - In My Life My song pick seven years ago today: Fairport Convention - She Moves Through the Fair My song pick eight years ago today: Uriah Heep - Gypsy My song pick nin...

I am toward the end of another busy day of mowing the lawn, doing housework, playing with my little one, and visiting with my sister and brother in-law. This after playing Metal Gear Solid IV until the wee small hours of the morning last night. Anyway, I really did not have a song ready to choose, so I grabbed one off of my playlist that I like and felt like listening to. What is great about this song is the excellent calming music along with surrealistic lyrics which makes it excellent for my mood for today. I first remember hearing this song on a movie back around the time it was first released, however the film's title escapes me at this time. But at least I came away liking the song even though I did not know the name of the band at the time. Here is the studio version on YouTube. Here is the music video on YouTube. +
