Song Recommendations are back, after a hiatus. And here’re the songs you must listen to:
- You know you’re right – Nirvana
- It is the last released song of the band. The death of Kurt Cobain put the ownership of the song in jeopardy, sparking a tussle between his widow and his bandmates. The song was finally realsed 8 years after its recording.
- Lay down Sally – Eric Clapton
- Eric asks the girl not to ‘leave so soon’, rather ‘rest in’ his arms. A sweet song that reminds you of late 60s music in Hindi cinema as well (remember those Shammi Kapoor, Joy Mukherjee, Shashi Kappor songs ?). Oh BTW, the song’s title is grammatically incorrect.
- Lay Lady Lay – Bob Dylan
- Its interesting how so many great songs aren’t recognised at the first instant. When Dylan submitted this song to a studio, it failed to make the cut with the director. Dylan released it as a single and it went on to become a great hit. If you listen the song carefully you would find a marked difference in Dylan’s voice, which he owed to his quitting smoking.
- Glory Days – Bruce Springsteen
- An achiever looks back at his ‘glory days’ in the song.
- Crazy little thing called LOVE – Queen
- The beauty of the song is – it was composed withinh 10 minutes. Also, you wouldn’t find too many songs that mention any name of its creators. This song does. Try to find out who is that.
Love your music sense..Quite similar to mine i must admit….And the creators name in the Queen’s song is Freddie Mercury ..He sings, “Are you ready,” and the band sings, “Ready Freddie.”
