Song for a Sunday Morning 10/21/18 Zola Jesus – Wiseblood (Johnny Jewel Remix)
I’ve been tending towards instrumentals for these Sunday morning selections, but I heard this song this past week and I thought it was perfect. Zola Jesus is an American synth-pop artist. I love the chorus lyrics: “If it doesn’t make you wiser, Doesn’t make you stronger, Doesn’t make you live a little bit, What are you doing?”
Song of the Day 10/21/18 Van Morrison “ Tupelo Honey”
When my daughter Hanna was born in 1999, this became her song. It was as if Van Morrison had been inspired by her years before she was even born. We’re visiting our baby at college this weekend and this song has been quietly playing in the back of my mind.
Song of the Day 10/20/18 Deer Tick “Hey! Yeah!”
Quick! What’s your favorite indie band from Providence RI?…. How about Deer Tick.
And no , this is not a cover of OutKast’s “Hey Ya”
Song of the Day 10/19/18 Adam Hood – The Weekend
Some country/roots rock/Americana to get the weekend started! Perfect song for a Friday. From his new album, Somewhere in Between.
Song of the Day 10/19/18 The Whigs “Staying Alive”
Anither great band from Athens , Georgia. The horns are my favorite part of this song.
Song of the Day TBT 10/18/18 Hole – Heaven Tonight
Not throwing back too far this week. There have been a lot of opinions about Courtney Love over the years. What’s not in dispute (imho) is that Hole’s 1998 album Celebrity Skin is a great one. This is one of my favorites off of it.
Song of the Day (TBT) 10/18/18 Lou Reed “Sweet Jane”
There are a lot of versions of this song out there. This one is one of the best.
Song of the Day 10/14/18 Sarah Davachi – Gloaming
This song seemed right for a overcast somewhat gloomy morning.
Song of the Day 10/14/18 Jack Johnson “Banana Pancakes”
I’ll always connect Jack Johnson with Sunday morning. For years when my kids were in high school and after, we volunteered (insisted) to host the post prom parties, New Year’s Eve parties,etc. We did it for peace of mind to ensure the kids would be safe (no booze) and still have fun. Half the fun for me was getting up the next morning and making a big breakfast for a bunch of sleepy teenagers . I always had some Jack playing. Nothing like puttering in the kitchen with the smells of coffee, bacon, pancakes (I favor banana)…….
