Here’s my 6th set of recommendations:
Battle of Evermore: Led Zeppelin
The song is reminiscent of the Tolkien brand of portrayal. The song, interestingly, also mentions Sauron, the greatest enemy of the middle-earth people. Also worth a mention is the line ‘Bring it back’ which may be interpreted as a call to recall your past.
Lemon Tree: Fool’s Garden
This is an English song by the German band. The opening lines – “I’m sitting here in the boring room,It’s just another rainy Sunday afternoon” reminds those innumerable Sundays when you had absolutely nothing to do. The lyrics is simple and hence easy to be remembered by bathroom-singers.
Wind of Change: Scorpions
The song celebrates change – beginning of the fall of USSR, and end of Cold War era. The opening lines mention Moskva (a river in Moscow) and Gorky Park – a pointer to the effect Moscow tour had on the band.
Take it Easy: Eagles
It was the band’s first and immensely popular song. The popularity can be gauged by the fact that there is a park in Arizona by the name – Standin’ on the Corner (a phrase in the song) . The park has an interesting history. You may read it here.
