Detours Album cover, by Sheryl Crow It took me a little bit to find a song I liked. I wanted a song about actual jewelry, and many of the songs are using “ring” and “watch” in other ways. When I heard Diamond Ring by Sheryl Crow, I liked the sound of her voice and also…

#SLS – “Cup of Tea” by The Verve Pipe from “Villains” (1996)
Before I go any further in the post, don’t think my choice of a song with tea instead of coffee means I like tea better than coffee. Both are consumed in equal measure through day and night, with hot coffee ALWAYS first thing upon waking. I think I would implode into a puff of vapor…
#SLS — Song that mentions either Cars or Trucks suggested by Clive of Take It Easy — “SiMM” aka “Motor,” by Cake
After seeing Jim’s prompt (suggested by Clive of Take It Easy,) my first thought was Cake songs, who seem to like to sing about cars. Over seven albums, they’ve done Race Car Ya-Yas, Stickshifts and Safetybelts, Long Line of Cars, Wheels, Carbon Monoxide, Easy to Crash. Cake is an environmentally aware group. They know how…

When I saw Jim’s prompt, I had no particular song in mind but I wanted one that had bones in it. Something for the listener to gnaw on when they heard it. Doing a YouTube search with bone, this one popped up. Have you ever listened to an album and apprehended it via the musical…

#SLS — “Firefly” (edited repost of WMM 2024 — Day 1 — Lilli Lewis)
When I saw Jim’s SLS prompt this week, my first thought was Pearl Jam’s exquisitely poignant song, “Given to Fly,” but decided instead to do a repost about Lilli Lewis, whom I first heard on Spotify’s Release Radar, with her song, “Firefly.” I was not able to find lyrics. Lilli Lewis I use my voice…
#SLS — “River Run Red” by Midnight Oil
Midnight Oil Photo: Oliver Eclipse When I saw Jim’s prompt for this week, the first environmental band I thought of was Pearl Jam and the song about the whale which makes me cry every time I listen to it. Next, I thought of Cake and the song about the long line of cars. But as…
