Not exactly "original" material in this day and age, but what makes it fascinating is that it was released only a month after 9/11 (the slideshow on the youtube is by a fan, made a while after):



This song really hit me hard the first time I heard it. I was reading and listening to Pandora when it came on and I had to stop and just listen to the lyrics - the story made me feel feelings:

I didn't know Massive Attack released a new album last year! Awesome!

I'm a big fan of pop/rock music which recognizes and embraces the fact that you don't need a guitar to be the primary melodic instrument!

The Challengers - Telstar - YouTube

"Telstar" is an early '60s song by the Tornados, covered by The Challengers.

This track reached something in me - an effect I can't describe, but the atmosphere is also nostalgic.

I'm starting to like the Tornadoes' version a bit more:

Songs to Play Twice: Didn't Start the Fire

If you are under x0 years old and not in the U.S.A. this might not make too much sense, but if you are this is great:

"What 1980s song do history teachers praise for its educational value? " This song & its title was the answer!
Whether you are a Billy Joel fan or not, you probably remember this song, 'We Didn't Start the Fire.' Never could understand all the references in Billy Joel's song -- fortunately, with this video, we now can "see" what our "ears" couldn't. Apparently, it's Joel's homage to the historical headlines since his birth (1949). Wish we could have appreciated the depths of this song when it was released. Decades later, it's amazing what Joel was able to put into music and lyrics lasting only a few minutes.
Here it is, set to pictures. It's an interesting flashback through the past half century. Turn up volume, sit back and enjoy a review of 50 years of history in less than 3 minutes, thanks to Billy Joel and some guy from the Universityof Chicago with a lot of spare time and Google. Top left gives you full screen ... top right lets you pause. Bottom left shows the year.
The older you are, the more pictures you will recognize. Anyone over age 65 should remember over 90% of what they see, but it's great at any age.
The video can also be slowed to learn more as the lyrics and photos pass by pretty fast.

Get it on, bang a gong, get it on Get it on, bang a gong, get it on - ooh
Well you're dirty and sweet Clad in black, don't look back and I love you You're dirty and sweet, oh yeah Well you dance when you walk So let's dance, take a chance, understand me You're dirty sweet and you're my girl
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on Get it on, bang a gong, get it on - ow Get it on, bang a gong, get it on - ow - get it on - mh
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on - a-a-a-a Get it on, bang a gong, get it on - a-a-a-a .... Take me Meanwhile I'm still thinking ....

I had never heard this marvelous rendition ...
Devil Got My Woman

I'd rather be the devil, to be that woman man
I'd rather be the devil, to be that woman man
Aw, nothin' but the devil, changed my baby's mind
Was nothin' but the devil, changed my baby's mind
I laid down last night, laid down last night
I laid down last night, tried to take my rest
My mind got to ramblin', like a wild geese
From the west, from the west
The woman I love, woman that I loved
Woman I loved, took her from my best friend
But he got lucky, stoled her back again
But he got lucky, stoled her back again

Watch it now-watch it-watch it-watch it

Matty told Hatty

Get you someone really
To pull the wool with you

Woolly bully-woolly bully-woolly bully
woolly bully-woolly bully

Watch it now-watch it-watch it
atch it now-watch it-watch it

You got it-you got it-you got it.
