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…

#SLS — “Bones” by The Killers
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 repost from 2019 (2nd insect)– Red Mosquito — Pearl Jam (with bonus info at the very end)
Pearl Jam with Jack Irons as drummer I just listened to The Doors sing about a mosquito in Ange’s post and it reminded me of this song by Pearl Jam. I thought I’d written it up before and learned it was for SLS post looking for an animal 6 years or so (time flies!) so…
#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…

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…
#SLS — So Much Potential!!! (previously Women Music March 2022 – Day 31 – Detroit’s Own: Karen Neal of Inside Out, Thrall, Queen Bee, and Beyond!)
I first heard Karen Neal when she was on myspace as part of the Queen Bee trio. I featured her and her musical journey as a kickass bass player, singer, and performer back in Women Music March in 2022. When I saw Jim’s prompt for this week’s Song Lyric Sunday, I immediately thought of her….
#SLS “One of These Things First” and “Pink Moon,” by Nick Drake (edited repost from 11/25/18 #SLS)
Nick Drake I searched around a bit for an album written entirely by a female artist and quickly became frustrated. My first thought was Joni Mitchell but I knew Jim was covering one of her tunes. Then I saw The Bee Gees and was going to pick one of theirs (I hope somebody else does!)…
