Song of the Day: Main Title Theme From The Shining, composed by Wendy Carlos and Rachel Elkind


For today’s song of the day, we have the title tune to Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining.  The Shining is a classic horror film and one that I look forward to revisiting on this site for our annual October Horrorthon.

For now, enjoy the greatest road trip music ever recorded.

Song of the Day: Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne (R.I.P.)


We all knew it was coming but this one still hurts.

Ozzy Osbourne, RIP.

All aboard! Hahaha

Crazy, but that’s how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe, it’s not too late
To learn how to love, and forget how to hate

Mental wounds not healing
Life’s a bitter shame
I’m goin’ off the rails on a crazy train
I’m goin’ off the rails on a crazy train

I’ve listened to preachers,
I’ve listened to fools
I’ve watched all the dropouts
Who make their own rules
One person conditioned to rule and control
The media sells it and you live the role

Mental wounds still screaming
Driving me insane
I’m goin’ off the rails on a crazy train
I’m goin’ off the rails on a crazy train

I know that things are going wrong for me
You gotta listen to my words, yeah, yeah

Heirs of a cold war,
that’s what we’ve become
Inheriting troubles,
I’m mentally numb
Crazy, I just cannot bear
I’m living with something that just isn’t fair

Mental wounds not healing
Who and what’s to blame
I’m goin’ off the rails on a crazy train
I’m goin’ off the rails on a crazy train
