Renaissance 2.0
We had a big snow storm here in Atlanta yesterday (ok it’s all relative what constitutes a snow storm) and so what am I thinking about? No, not Christmas even though it’s my favorite time of the year. I’m thinking of Summertime and The Sundays! I just love them! This song just makes you feel…
Here’s a hilarious and poignant song called “I’m Still a Man”. It’s Brad Paisley’s anthem for men today caught in the crossfire of the sensitive male movement vs the traditional meat-eating, hunter-gatherers group. We men continue to try to understand what women want and sometimes we go too far trying to change who we are…
I was blown away by this song called “Brothers” that I just heard for the first time ever today. It’s by a canadian cowboy named Dean Brody that wrote it soon after watching Spielberg’s Band of Brothers mini-series. Being one of four brothers and watching my two boys growing up, this song really hit home….
Depeche Mode is one of my favorite artists and “But Not Tonight” has always been one of my favorites they’ve done. It was in an obscure movie from the 80s called “Modern Girls” that I really liked starring a young Virginia Madsen (later nominated for Oscar in her turn in Sideways), Daphne Zuniga (Melrose Place)…
Here’s one of Seal’s best, “Love’s Divine”. It’s such a beautiful song with a powerful message. This is the live version he performed. Here’s a wonderful use of the song in an episode of CSI:Miami "Love’s Divine" Then the rainstorm came, over me And I felt my spirit break I had lost all of my,…
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Paul Hardcastle’s “19” was about the average age of american troops in Viet Nam. Here we are decades later and American teenagers are still dying every day in a war we cannot win in a foreign land. Here’s the much longer version In 1965 Vietnam…
I love Depeche Mode and one of my favorite songs of their’s is “STRIPPED” because it’s all about revealing who we really are. It’s about removing all of the masks we wear and the facade we display to the world. The drums are so primal too. Such a great vibe. Here’s the live version Come…
What a great match, Snow Patrol’s “Chasing Cars” and Grey’s Anatomy. I’ve enjoyed the show since episode one. I’ve lost interest in the last season or so but it’s still one of the best show on the air today. Here’s the official music video Here’s more context for the scene that will help give more…
Ty Herndon’s “What Mattered Most” has always been an important song to me because it reminds me to pay attention to the important things in life. It’s become far too easy to get sidetracked and distracted by all of the time-consuming but meaningless things in our hectic crazy lives today. This is especially true with…
I’ve always loved the band SQUEEZE especially the songwriter duo of Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook. They wrote some original and infectious songs. Most people think of Tempted when they think of Squeeze because it was their biggest hit song here in the states but I love many more of their songs. The amazing Paul…
