Elton John: Candle in the Wind
try to avoid iconic songs on my blog, but sometimes, I just have to mention them… not that I can add any more words than what has already been discussed about this particular song. The image from yesterday’s post, although representing the first Sunday of Advent, brought today’s song to mind – [...]
Gregorian Chant: O Come, O Come, Emmanuel
regorian chant, named after Pope Gregory I, who ruled as pope from 590 to 604 is a traditional form of music in Christianity. Gregorian chant originated in Monastic life in western and central Europe during the 11th and 13th centuries. It is a popular believe that listening to Gregorian chant increases the [...]

The emotional ballad describing the effects drugs had on lead singer [...]
Razorlight: In The City
Razorlight, an Anglo-Swedish band that was formed in 2002 are nothing new. But I love them, and I’m surprised to learn that I hadn’t previously posted one of their tracks. Their debut album, “Up All Night” was released in 2004, and billed the band as the UK’s very own version of The Strokes. [...]
