Renaissance 2.0
Here’s another Supertramp song called “Breakfast in America” that I’ve always loved for some reason. It came out 30 years ago in 1979 but it still holds up well. All classics do, huh? It was the name of the album which produced several big hits. In addition to the title track, there was also “The…
I’ve always loved Enigma’s “Return to Innocence” which is about recapturing the magic and wonder that we had in our youth. It’s so important for us to never lose touch with our inner child and remain ever wide-eyed and full of hopes and dreams. Favorite passage: Be yourself don’t hide Just believe in destiny Don’t…
Soul II Soul was a brilliant artist from the 1980s with their two biggest hits being “Keep on Moving” and “Back to Life”. I still think of these two songs and play them from time to time. Classic stuff. Loved how they used strings and orchestral music with a soulful mix. Back to Life is…

They achieved major stardom with the work they did with Janet Jackson but they created an incredible amount of fantastic work with other artists. For…
I just learned that the Knack’s leader singer Doug Fieger died at the age of 57 from lung cancer on February 14, 2010! Sharona, the girl he loved that inspired his biggest hit, My Sharona, was by his side during his final days. Here’s an excellent piece from NPR about the real Sharona. I loved…
The Verve’s “Bittersweet Symphony” is itself a bittersweet experience. It’s a beautiful song with some sad sentiments in it such as “You’re a slave to money then you die”. The story behind the song is also rather bittersweet as it was the Verve’s only big hit here in the states and all the royalties had…
Five for Fighting’s “World” is yet another masterpiece from their incredible art collection of songs featuring unforgettable works such as “100 years”, “The Riddle”, “Superman” and more. I first caught it in a Sear’s commercial and knew it was John Ondrasik’s voice. I did a quick search on Yahoo Answers and found out the name…
