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

From: Dreamtime ; Year: 1984; Genre: Hard Rock/Rock Have a bunch of The Cult's music on my mind today and decided that I would pick one. Spiritwalker was one that apparently existed when the band went by another name: Death Cult, and appeared as the lead single off of their debut studio album, Dreamtime as The Cult. Great track to get the blood moving and makes your right foot heavier whilst driving.   Hear Spiritwalker on YouTube.       My song pick 1 year ago today: Boyz II Men - Motownphilly   My song pick 2 years ago today: Yes - Then   My song pick 3 years ago today: Brave Belt - Goodbye, Soul Shy   My song pick 4 years ago today: Klaatu - Little Neutrino My song pick 5 years ago today: Pallas - Win or Lose My song pick 6 years ago today: AC/DC - Rock 'N' Roll Damnation My song pick 7 years ago today: The Allman Brothers Band - One Way Out My song pick 8 years ago today: Dream Theater - The Ministry of Lost Souls My song pick 9 year...

From: Sonic Temple ; Year: 1989; Genre: Hard Rock Making kind of a quick pick today, but a very good song nevertheless; one of my favourites from The Cult.

From: Sonic Temple ; Year: 1989; Genre: Hard Rock I had this band on my mind this morning. This was actually the first song I ever heard from The Cult, although since I've come to like some of their other songs a bit more. That being said, it's still one of my favourites of theirs. Watch the music video clip to Fire Woman on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: The Beatles - Free as a Bird My song pick two years ago today: Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) - Julie Don't Live Here My song pick three years ago today: Fire Bomber (Humming Bird) - My Soul For You My song pick four years ago today: Hawkwind - D-Rider My song pick five years ago today: Duran Duran - Rio My song pick six years ago today: Rare Earth - ( I Know ) I'm Losing You

From: Gone in 60 Seconds (Soundtrack) ; Year: 2000; Genre: Rock I had this song on my mind today for some reason and thought I would pick it. I found it odd that this song was only released on the soundtrack of the remake of the classic film Gone in 60 Seconds , and never made it to a proper Cult album. Even though it was made for the motion picture, it is still a really great track, and is among my favourites from The Cult; it would've fit very well on one of their albums. Hear Painted on My Heart on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Scott Joplin - The Entertainer My song pick two years ago today: Maktub - So Tired My song pick three years ago today: Dizzy Gillespie - Manteca My song pick four years ago today: Iron Maiden - Sun and Steel My song pick five years ago today: Deep Purple - Knocking At Your Back Door My song pick six years ago today: Slade - Cum On Feel The Noize

I have been deluged by this song from what seems like all directions for the last little bit, so I figured that I should add it to my list. I love Ian Astbury's vocals, he put a lot into it in this song. The abundant amount of hooks and the overall smoothness of the song makes it quite nice for common listener as well as most musicians. Here is the studio version in a fan video on YouTube. Here is the music video on YouTube. +
