Song of the Day #3,826: ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas’ – Ella Fitzgerald
Song of the Day #3,825: ‘Panama’ – Van Halen
This week my extended family and I are embarking on a two-week cruise that will partially traverse the Panama Canal. Because I will be without internet access during that time, I will leave you with eight versions of the Van Halen classic song ‘Panama’ (plus a couple of Random Weekends and holiday offerings).
Enjoy, and see you in 2019!
Song of the Day #3,824: ‘Meaning Again’ – Brad Paisley
Brad Paisley has written some of the best love songs I’ve ever heard. ‘Then,’ ‘Little Moments,’ ‘She’s Everything,’ ‘The World,’ the list goes on and on.
So it’s a shame that today’s track, from Paisley’s 2017 album Love and War, doesn’t live up to its predecessors. It sounds to me like somebody trying to write a Brad Paisley love song but not quite hitting the mark.
Song of the Day #3,823: ‘Gold’ – Interference
I suppose it’s appropriate that, after so many recent posts about movies, the Random iTunes Fairy served up a song from another movie.
‘Gold’ appeared in the lovely 2007 film Once, and later in the successful Broadway adaptation of the film. I first assumed this was a performance by the film’s leads, Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, but apparently it is actually by an Irish band called Interference.
