Jefferson Airplane - A Song For All Seasons
A Song For All Seasons is a song by Jefferson Airplane which appears on their 1969 release, Volunteers. The track opens up with a piano bit and right away you certainly get sort of a sense of country rock rather than the traditional psychedelic rock of Jefferson Airplane. At …
Jimi Hendrix: Live At Woodstock

Sublime - Ebin (Song)
Ebin is a song by Sublime which appears on their debut record 40 Oz. To Freedom. Opening up with a nice bass line, Nowell comes in with a vocal performance which at first seems more like fast spoken word. Although this didn’t win me over initially, Nowell soon starts …
MGMT - The Youth (Song)
The Youth is the third track on MGMT’s second album, Oracular Spectacular. MGMT has frequently been called a neo-psychedelic band and I think that this track really demonstrates that, particularly the lyrics of the song. Listening to the first lyrics of the song, a listener should immediately get a …

Days Of Elijah by Paul Wilbur

The lyrics talk clearly about the …
Do Ya Thang - Rihanna song

The Cranberries - Promises (Song)
The Cranberries was one of the most famous rock bands of the 90’s. On 1999 they released “Promises” as a single of their “Bury the Hatchet” album. That song was a major hit and is my favorite Cranberries song and one of the best songs from the 90’s.

Meghan Trainor - Like I’m Gonna Lose You (feat. John Legend)
From the moment I first heard “All About the Bass” more than a year ago, I instantly fell in love with Meghan Trainor. She gave something that not only reminded me of the 80’s but also the fact that she’s a newcomer, and with a concept that she’s trying …
