Day 20: A song by an artist no longer alive

There were really only 3 choices for me here. I chose the loss of an artist that was the first time I actually cried over the loss of someone famous that I’d never even met. Then the struggle was which song, so I went with where it all began for me, the first song of theirs I heard.

By a dead guy?

Oh wait.... that's not his, it's about him.

SO... first one I cried over?? WORST Day of High School.

Shit. Still cryin' He was ready to retake the world!
R.I.P. John
.... and George.

Damn. I knew this would bring me down. Now I'll listen to the whole album as I paint.

I am reminded. I do not like Yoko.

Cracking tune. Played this for the kids during last day of term. Fuck shitey Xmas tunes.... lol

Ps. Didn't realise Chester was buddies with Chris Cornell. Tragic that both ended their lives in similar fashion within months of each other....

Better with Churchill's speech attached to it....really makes your hair stand on end

Day 21: A song you discovered by pure chance

Pure chance? I’m not sure what that means when it comes to discovering music. Any song that I didn’t deliberately go looking for? I’m not really sure.
I’m going with a song that I don’t remember how I got to it exactly. Maybe it was chance?

Heard it on a soundtrack. The band opened for the one you went to see. Someone put an earworm on a jukebox.

That's where I went.

Day 21: A song you discovered by pure chance

These fuckers appeared in a paid ad on my FB feed one day, and fuck were they good!

I bought gig tickets for me and my youngest to see them last year, and I can only say it's one of the finest accidental discoveries I've made!

The Sundays - Don't Tell Your Mother

[RosewoodTulip]

A.M. 180 - Grandaddy

This was on a free CD with the NME way back when and I loved it instantly. Was also used as the theme for Charlie Brooker's Screen wipe show

Stumbled upon this song a few years back, loved the singers voice and now I’m a Jimmy Barnes follower.

Day 21: A song you discovered by pure chance

I love a good cover. When another artist can take a known song and make it entirely their own is an art form I'm and of itself. This popped up on a Pandora channel years ago. I was instantly captivated.
