Walls Come Tumbling Down – The Style Council
Former Jam frontman and “Modfather” Paul Weller was determined that The Style Council’s 1985 UK Top Ten hit Walls Come Tumbling Down should be a “balls-out soul tune” from the Motown mould and so you could be forgiven for failing to notice at first that this hip-swaying Eighties pop hit is a red-blooded, revolutionary protest song with the very positive and provocative refrain of “Governments crack and systems fall / ‘Cause unity is powerful / Lights go out, walls come tumbling down”…
The One – Chaun
Yo know traditionally this playlist highlights New York lyrical Elite. However i have been getting tons of requests of non-ny artist with superior bars. So im gonna start considering eyeing talent that embodies that NY sound although the artist mat not be from NYC.
Disarm – Smashing Pumpkins
The unmistakable beginning, and then the words, “Disarm you with a smile”. Kindness feeds us, when we share it with one another. Sometimes we isolate ourselves, safer in our shell maybe. We can’t share a kindness with one another in this state though, we can’t receive love.
Little Lies – Fleetwood Mac
If you told me I could only ever listen to one band for the rest of my life, well first of all I’d say you were a bit of a dick for forcing such an unnecessary restriction on me. But if you insisted, because that’s just the way you are, I’d answer with Fleetwood Mac. When it comes to taking you on a journey, there’s just no one quite like the Mac.
Night Owl – Metronomy
There are nights when you can only feel sad, moments when you can’t find “positive” feelings to nourish from, when everything you feel is just some form of sadness, sometimes stronger, sometimes weaker, but just sadness.
Fear & Force – Vagabon
I am so happy I stumbled upon Vagabon’s music, because her 2017 debut album, Infinite Worlds, has been haunting me for months in the best possible way. The first time I heard this song, I’m pretty sure I was silent with my jaw dropped until the end.
All Along the Watchtower – Jimi Hendrix
Jimi Hendrix fiery interpretation of Bob Dylan’s All Along the Watchtower, from Hendrix’s classic Electric Ladyland struck a deep and resonant chord on its release in September 1968. According to Dylan, Hendrix “could find things inside a song and vigorously develop them” and with all along the watchtower he found something which spoke to the frustrations and confusion surrounding US involvement in the Vietnam War in both the pro and anti war camps.
Turn The Night Up – Enrique Iglesias
“Turn The Night Up” I couldn’t help but be infatuated with the man’s musical style because it is in line with how I feel as well. “Baby it’s you and me you see we can turn the night up/ And if you feel the way I feel we can turn the night up.
Longing For Your Love – Ady Suleiman
A veces el tiempo ideal llega cuando menos lo esperas, y es que cada quien tiene su momento, llegamos al presente donde Ady Suleiman debuta con su album Memories, un álbum tan esperado por sus fans pero más por él mismo, hace algunos días en un pub de Kensington contaba que le llevó mucho tiempo concluir con la grabación de Memories, como si fueran décadas…
Other Side of Rain – Renn
Renn is an artist from Nashville that caught my ear a few years ago. His lyrics flow effortlessly and he has an honest, mellow, and soulful voice that will make you smile, rain or shine. His tune “Other Side of Rain” is a favorite from his debut album “Heartache and a Song”. Renn shares the story behind his song:
Standing Outside a Broken Phonebooth with Money in my Hand – Primitive Radio Gods
Desde el título se nos propone una gran máxima: De nada sirve todo tu dinero si no tienes algo que hacer con eso. En este caso el protagonista tiene dinero para hacer una llamada pero tanto el teléfono como algunas otras cosas están rotas…
Hold On – Tom Waits
We all know and love Tom Waits. If you don’t – you should…
I actually spent a few hours preparing a track and a write-up this week, but lost the lot as I hit the send button.
The reason for this worthless info, you ask? Well….
