TUNES - 56

Just in time for St Patrick's Day, my latest obsession (to be featured on the Radio.Blog) has a Celtic edge. OK, OK, I think she is actually from Scotland, but St Pat himself wasn't Irish....

So many great songs here, but if I have to pick some standouts I will go with these which are all hitting me just right this week:

  • Daisy - words of advise for a wee one, or anyone
  • Hole In The Heart - "I found a great big hole in the middle of my life, shaped just like my heart"
  • Four Strong Walls - "When everything else in this world, flickers and falters and falls, and the thunder is under our feet, you feel like four strong walls"
  • Faultlines - "for every breath that leaves me now, another comes to fill me"
  • The Sun's Comin' Over The Hill - OK, this one has the sweet line "Oh the nights are long, but the sun's comin' over the hill" but you've got to love this lyric as well, "He kissed me each evening and told me he'd die for me, and then he ran off the road, full of whiskey and irony. He always meant what he said." Great turn of a phrase.
  • The Light On The Shore - written for/about the Hospice experience; the workers, the patients, the families. "I'm not so old and not so bold that I don't need you more"
  • Waterlily
  • Holy Moses - Very simple, very pretty... lullaby-ish
  • I'm Gonna Do It All - "I'm gonna bring those stars back down, so I can spread celestial light around" (love the way she says "Atlantic" and "gigantic")
  • Azalea Flower - creepy song about, as far as I can figure, a murder. Really.

Guess that doesn't narrow it down much. Did I mention my obsession....?
