Song of the Day: Something (The Beatles)


Ok, time to get back in the saddle.

The latest entry in the “Greatest Guitar Solos Series” comes courtesy of The Beatles and one of the best songs, if not the best one, from their 1969 album, Abbey Road.

The song is the George Harrison penned “Something” and its been acknowledged by musicians and critics to be the greatest love song that doesn’t have the mention the word love (on a serious note, it is the greatest love song).

The guitar solo is performed by George Harrison and arrives as part of the song’s outro.

Something

[Verse 1]
Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me

[Chorus]
I don’t want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

[Verse 2]
Somewhere in her smile, she knows
That I don’t need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me

[Chorus]
I don’t want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

[Bridge]
You’re asking me, will my love grow?
I don’t know, I don’t know
You stick around, now, it may show
I don’t know, I don’t know

[Guitar Solo]

Song of the Day: Rockstar by Nat and Alex Wolff


This is a song that I first heard when I first watched Palo Alto. 

Ever since then, it’s a song that has randomly popped into my head at certain times, usually whenever I’m possessed by the melancholy spirit that always seems to follow me around this time of year.  It’s a song that always makes me feel better, despite what happened in Palo Alto.

 

Song of the Day: Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door (Anomura Remix) by Bob Dylan


It was one year ago today that my Dad went into hospice care.  Every day, from now through August 19th, is going to be a painful anniversary.  My Dad loved music and that’s something that I inherited from him.  The song below helped me get through a lot, both when my mom passed and now, with my Dad.

I miss you, Dad.

Song of the Day: Raiders March by John Williams


Since today is the birthday of Harrison Ford, it seems only appropriate that today’s song of the day should come from John Williams’s score of one of Ford’s best films, Raiders of the Lost Ark!

Here is Raiders March, composed by John Williams.

Song of the Day: Live by Jonathan Clarke


Tonight, I’m starting my summer job of writing about Big Brother for the Big Brother Blog.  In honor of that, today’s song of the day is the little-remembered theme song from the first season of Big Brother!

After listening to this, you’ll understand why they’ve gone with an instrumental theme song from season two on.
