❌Monthly Song Challenge: Archived🎵

Day 28: 20s

I could've went a variety of ways here to really keen into the bonus, but if I play a little fast and loose as we have, this song came to us with 20 years after George passed and 40 years after John yet both are on the record... sounds higher power to be.

Anyway, this track was worked on for the Anthology albums in the 90s, but the vocals were to distorted to include it. George had done done guitar work, but it was left there. Fast forward 25 years and Peter Jackson has developed a way to not only reduce interference (used heavily in his Beatles documentary), but a vocal learning device that could pull John's voice so he could sing some new lyrics written by Paul on the track from beyond the grave. All four Beatles played on this track. Went number one, too. Wild stuff.

Now and Then - The Beatles
 
Day 28: A song from the 20s (Deity?)

Sorry for my philosophizating today.

Man it was hard to find a song. And this may not apply. It’s about meaninglessness as I don’t believe in god. We have the personal power to shape our world and our life as much as possible.

I find meaning in the never ending cycle of nature and life and death. In sex and music and being alive.

See a live band. Be in the exact moment. Live! Feel the sweat of the pit, the clash of the pack, the music so loud it’s moving right thru you.

That is my spirituality. My deity. Being alive. I am happy. I am hopeful.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Spitting Off The Edge of World (2023)

Don’t know if I could afford myself a full plus one today. +6.5 for the week.

And truth be told I coulda used a song by Father John Misty too but it didn’t have the vibe I was looking for.

I really like that song. It is in my "liked" playlist. Off topic, I have about 250 songs in that playlist and I need to whittle it down...

Goddamnit!

Oh, this is so easy. I was hellbent on getting "The Loophole" for the 10's (and have zero regrets), but if someone had beaten me to it I had a Plan B lined up and ready to go.
2011 - "Hello" - The Book of Mormon
