Music documentary: About Meat Loaf
There is a series on TV with all sorts of documentaries on albums of artists: Classic Albums. I absolutely love this series, since the documentaries are very informative, not too long (about an hour) and you really learn something of them. Lately I saw the documentary about Bat Out Of Hell. It was a re-run, but the first time I have missed a part, so I thought: let’s watch it completely this time! And I succeeded.
Why do I choose the documentary of Meat Loaf above all? Because this documentary is on a great album with some hits everybody knows (who doesn’t know Paradise by the Dashboardlight? Apart from most of my classmates, that is…), and with some history and deeper meanings into them. One of the things I learned from this documentary was for instance that the sports part of Paradise By The Dashboardlight was quite naughty… in the Netherlands, this part simply is cut out because the record is too long, in America this part is cut out because of… watch and learn! 🙂
Do you have a link, too? Well, if I’m correct, this must be the one: Bat out of Hell documentary. (if not so, I’m sorry!)

I like it! Don’t Lie!

Really nice song, though!

And if you think, I know it from a movie, could be! In Grease, the song is covered by Sha-Na-Na.

Song of the day: Dr. Alban- It’s My Life
Hi there,
Today we’ve got a dentist in the house!
The singing dentist had one of his first big hits in 1992.
And this hit is the song of the day…
Dr. Alban sings his big hit It’s My Life!
Tomorrow something mysterious…
Song(s) of the day: Caro Emerald- Tangled Up / The Lumineers- Ho Hey!
Ho hey there,
Today we’ve got 2 new songs!
The first song has a title which is simular to the first two words of this post.
You might know Mumford and Sons, and if you like them, you might like this group as well.
If you don’t like them, you probably won’t like this song as well…
It are The Lumineers with Ho Hey!
And then there’s a new song of the woman which I find very good…
She’s Dutch, and she has had one song of the day before.
It’s the new song of Caro Emerald, which is named: Tangled Up
I absolutely like this new song!
Song of the day: Dannii Minogue- I Begin To Wonder
Hi there,
When I was walking down the streets I called your name… or at least, that line is in the song of today.
The song of the day is performed by someone who doesn’t only sing, but she is also acting!
I’m talking about a “cover” from a dance song. The result?
Dannii Minogue with I Begin To Wonder!
Tommorrow another song!
Song of the day: Petula Clark- Downtown
Hello there,
This is the new song of the day. Today the song is quite old, but it didn’t loose the attraction and the cozyness.
It’s Petula Clark with Downtown!
Have fun!
Song of the day: Ram Jam- Black Betty
Hey there,
Today the song is not too complicated. The song is originally an American folksong, but it became popular in a hardrock version.
I’m talking about Ram Jam with Black Betty!
Just sing along, whoa Black Betty, Bambalam!
Song(s) of the day: Ilse DeLange- We Are One / Coldplay- Up In Flames
Hi there,
Today there are two new songs for you!
The first song which I think is very nice, is a song of a Dutch artist.
She is called Ilse DeLange, and she has made a lot of hits already. Her new single was for her father, but he died soon after releasing the single.
This gives the song an extra load.
The song is called We Are One.
The second song of this day is made by Coldplay. For the song, they used a drummachine.
It sounds good, but I do not entirely agree with the use from this machine. I like Coldplay, because they use real instruments!
But, okay, the song is very good. My top-tip from this week is Up In Flames.
That were my first tips for the new month!
Song of the day: Wildstylez feat. Niels Geusebroek- Year Of Summer
Hello everybody,
I have an older new song for you. It is already some weeks popular, so you might know it.
The song is really cool. It has to do something with summer, and I think that it is absolutely good!
I’m talking about Year of Summer by the Wildstylez featuring Niels Geusebroek.
I hope you share my opinion and that you like it too!
Song of the day: Eurythmics- Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)
Hello,
Today the song of the day is made by a band which I can appreciate very much. Their music is very good.
The song is from 1983, and is about the thing dreams are made of…
It are the Eurythmics with Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)
What you maybe didn’t know about this song, is that the song was the breakthrough for their success.
Later they made songs like There Must Be An Angel, and of course the 1984 song Sexcrime.
Tomorrow another song!
Song of the day: The Beach Boys- Good Vibrations
Hello everyone,
I’m now looking out my window, and I see a white landscape. By the way, that’s in Holland.
Well, when it’s like this (I hate snow) I start looking for something sunny.
Since I’m doing songs of the sixties, the song of the day is made by the Beach Boys.
All their songs are quite sunny, with as ultimate song: Good Vibrations.
Well, this makes my day!
Song of the day: The Beatles- Penny Lane
Hi there,
Here’s another song for you.
The song of today is in a cartoon. The song is made by four men, who have had a lot of hits, and who all had long hair.
Yes, it are the Beatles, with Penny Lane. The cartoon is quite funny, and the song is very good, of course!
Enjoy listening to it!
Song of the day: The Doors- Light My Fire
Hello everyone,
Today the song is made by some things which can open and close (cryptic, isn’t it?)
The want to make some light. (Nobody knows where I’m talking about)
It are the Doors with Light My Fire
Tomorrow another one, with another cryptic description!

Hello everyone,
Here’s another song of the day. the song of today gives a summer feeling, which might be nice in wintertime.

No, you don’t know? The brothers are called Uffe Savery and Morten Friis, and the two together make the Safri Duo.
Their biggest hit was in 2001 Played-A-Live (the Bongo Song).
Tomorrow another sunny song!
Song of the day: Electric Light Orchestra- Mr. Blue Sky
Hello again,
A new song of the day is waiting for you!
It’s a happy song, made by an orchestra. It was written on a mountain, it was foggy for the whole week, and all of a sudden the sun comes through!
The song was remastered in 2012, but I still like the old version better.
It’s ELO (electric light orchestra) with Mr. Blue Sky.
Get happy!
Song(s) of the day: Avicii vs. Nicky Romero- I Could Be The One / Justive Collective- He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother
Hello everyone,

And I have some good songs…
The first song is made for some kind of charity. The Justice Collective is a band with all kind of artists, including Robbie Williams and Melanie C.
This song went to number one in the UK, and I think that it might go to high positions in other countries, as well.
It’s a cover from He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother.
The second song is made by two DJ’s. One is very known, the other one is new. And the new one is Dutch!
The new one is Nicky Romero, and the known one is Avicii.
The track is called I Could Be The One.
And the song of the week is… not relevant anymore.
Song of the day: Mark & Clark Band- Worn Down Piano
The last song for this year!
But, don’t fear, in 2013 are there very many other songs waiting.
I want to close this year with a song which I like so much! It’s absolutely one of the best songs ever made!
Which one? Worn down piano from the Mark & Clark band. It starts and it ends beautiful, and the part in between is fabulous!
Enjoy the 8 minutes and 10 seconds, and the story about the piano which nobody wants to buy, but which everyone wants if someone plays it!
I hope to welcome you back in the new year, in 2013!

Yes, here we are again!
A little bit more recent than yesterday, to be precise: 2002.
And the song is with Elvis Presley! Huh? Impossible, isn’t it?
No. It’s a remix, made by the Dutch producer Tom Holkenborg, better known as Junkie XL, or JXL.
The remix was approved by the family of Elvis, and the song is called: A little less conversation.

Well, because of this question, and because it’s a good song, here’s:
Paul McCartney with We All Stand Together!
Of course, Paul didn’t do it alone. No, not with the Beatles, but together with the Frog Chorus!
Well, Christmas is creeping closer and closer…
Tomorrow a new song!
Song of the day: Roger Glover & Guests- Love Is All
Hello everyone,
Here’s another song of the day. It’s not a Christmas song, with which I start tomorrow!
Firstly, a clip with a frog who is singing the song.
No, I have not gone mad, I’m talking about Roger Glover and Guests, with Love is all.

Strawberry fields forever
The long and winding road

Hello everyone,
Here’s the new song of the day.

I wish you a lot of fun with it!
Song of the day: The Verve- Bittersweet Symphony
Christmas is coming near, just like 2013, and the end of the world…
But that last thing is nonsense!
Okay, first the song of the day. I said something with classic music, right?
What do you think of the Verve? Yes, with a Bittersweet Symphony!
Yes, I understand. It’s not really classic music. But the thing I was pointing out is the symphony. That’s classic music, isn’t it?
Okay, and it isn’t entirely about the clip. Actually about the song, because it’s such a good song!
Well, tomorrow a new song. And then it is about the clip!

Hello everybody!!!

Well, tomorrow.. Oh wait! I forgot the song! The song of the day is Jesus He Knows Me.
It’s one of the later songs of Genesis, from 1992.

The last week Dutch musicians. What I’m going to do in December?
I don’t know yet, but if you have a suggestion, please say it!
Okay, the song for today. It’s a song which is happy, and I like it…
The artist is Waylon, the song is called Wicked Way.
