Radio 4’s Soul Music series | Chris T-T's Songnostic
https://songnostic.wordpress.com/2011/03/08/radio-4s-soul-music-series
Chris T-T's Songnostic. A blog for writers of music and lyrics. March 8, 2011. Radio 4’s Soul Music series. One of my very favourite radio series has started again on BBC Radio 4 and I thought it’s worth mentioning here. It’s called Soul Music. And each week focuses on a single piece of music; either a song or piece of classical music. Regularly gets closer to somehow explaining. Anyway, if you can access the iPlayer, HERE.

And others, to a current point of recontact the Dark Mountain. Philosophy and their Uncivilisation festival. Notify me...

Posted on October 29th, 2014. In social media Mr...

Chris T-T's Songnostic. A blog for writers of music and lyrics. November 24, 2010. Doing sex in songs. Did a couple of tweets this morning that reminded me of probably my favourite ‘doing sex’ lyric, from Paul Simon’s ‘I Know What I Know’ (on the album Graceland. He talks to a woman at a party, spiky and flirting. Most of the lyrics are conversation. For me, Simon obviously pulls that night because without saying anything else about it he drops in:. She moved so easily all I could think of was sunlight.
