When I saw what the prompt was for this week’s Song Lyric Sunday, so many songs popped into my head, which means it’s a good prompt. Thanks, Nancy! I originally wrote this for one of hanspostcard’s song drafts back in 2021. It’s an iconic groovefest that never grows old. Eric Burdon as frontman for War…

#SLS — The Moonbeam Song by Harry Nilsson from Nilsson Schmilsson (1971)
Jim, I enjoyed your conglomeration of weather lyrics in the first paragraph of the prompt. Nancy, what a good suggest for this week’s musical excursion that is Song Lyric Sunday. It didn’t take me long to figure out whose music I wanted to share this week and hoped he would have a song with one…
#SLS — Great Opener — “The Only Thing” by Dave Matthews Band
Dave Matthews Band Walk Around The Moon (2023) album cover Hello Everybody! This week’s prompt is extremely challenging in that there an almost infinite number of songs with great openers. Openings so memorable that often it only takes a few notes to recognize them. I agonized for a few moments before deciding on a cut…

#SLS — Rhiannon Giddens (2/21/77)
Rhiannon Giddens When I saw this week’s prompt and learned that Rhiannon Giddens’ birthday is in February (b. 2/21/77,) she was my choice. I originally wrote a post on her for 2022’s Women Music March, then used the post again for Glyn’s Mixed Music Bag. Looking again for any updates I see Rhiannon is a…
#SLS “Forever’s No Time At All” written by Katie McInnerny and sung/acoustic by Billy Nicholls from Pete Townshend’s, Who Came First (partly repost)
As I lie amongst the heather bedHigh above the ocean’s roar Looking first through my own digital catalogue for songs with Time in them, I happened across this album and this song. I did a post on it back in March 2025. The next part is from the original post: Max from PowerPop posted…
