There are so many quality sandy beach songs out there. I almost went with The Beach Boys’ “Kokomo” but didn’t. (Hope someone else picks it!) Song to a Seagull (also known as Joni Mitchell) is the eponymous debut studio album by the Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell. It was produced by David Crosby and released in March 1968. The album…

#SLS — In God’s Country by U2
Jim chose yet another good prompt for Song Lyric Sunday. I came across so many good ones before settling on this old gold tune by U2. I have 3 favorite U2 albums: The Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby, and All That You Can’t Leave Behind. “In God’s Country” is from The Joshua Tree, maybe one of…
#SLS — Snowblind Friend, written by Hoyt Axton and performed by Steppenwolf
When I saw what the prompt was this week, I was pumped up because humans are so good at exhibiting so many types of behavior that I knew it would be easy to find a song for one of them. One behavior that humans are known for is getting addicted. There are unlimited things humans…
#SLS — Getting Spicy with, “Pepper” by The Butthole Surfers
image link I scrolled through a ton of lyrics, searching for various spices, including the word spice itself, before I happened across, “Pepper” by Butthole Surfers. I’d heard the band’s name before, and the song was familiar, but I hadn’t put the two together. The song is compelling and should have an earworm warning with…
#SLS Phil Lynott (8/20) “A Song for While I’m Away,” from Thin Lizzy’s, Vagabonds of the Western World (1973)
The search was half of the fun on this week’s prompt. Memorizing musician’s and songwriter’s birthdays is not my area of expertise, so I went through the days in wikipedia until I hit on Phil. A few years or so ago, when I was listening to Spotify’s Release Radar, I came across a song by…
#SLS — “Someone Saved My Life Tonight,” by Elton John (1975)
When I saw the theme this week, so many songs came to mind, but so many of them were ones I thought others might choose, so I went to lyrics.com and put all three search terms in. There were a plethora of new tunes I came across that were good as I built a list…
#SLS — “Any Road” by George Harrison, on Brainwashed (2002)
I’ve recently watched a few more episodes — only watching one at a time, to make them last — of the Beatles documentary series (on Disney+) which has gotten me falling under their spell all over again. So when I saw Jim’s prompt for this week, I went looking for one of their songs. “Any…
