Still, Still, Still (Hush Hush Hush)
Still, Still, Still is an engaging, tender and poetic lullaby that usually enchants parishioners and other listeners alike. The song sends us the message of jubilation for being given the greatest of gifts yet in such a humble form of a baby. This carol is expressed by some as being very popular, yet it is quite difficult to come across any thorough historical information about it other than its Austrian beginnings.

Good Morning Blues
(William) Count Basie (1904-1984) was an extremely popular figure in the jazz world for half a century. He was a fine pianist and leader of one of the greatest jazz bands in history. “Good Morning Blues”, early Count Basie recording has been somewhat forgotten as a Christmas blues, probably because the word “Christmas” isn’t in the title, but it’s a fine one. When the song was recorded (1937), the Basie Band featured some of the most groundbreaking musicians in... Sunshine of Your Love

Sunshine of Your Love One of the defining qualities of heavy metal is guitar riffs: short, memorable, repeating phrases played on a distorted guitar as a foundation for a song. Sunshine of your Love was one of the first hit songs to be built around a guitar riff rather than a chord sequence — although in this case, the riff was originally written on the bass, and the two instrument shadow each for much of the song. Sunshine of Your Love Here's a classic song that's interesting because... Last Updated (Wednesday, 12 November 2014 16:27) |

On the Hills of Manchuria (Na Sopkah Manchzhurii)
On the Hills of Manchuria is among the most popular Russian historic melodies, and is widely known abroad as well, having gained the reputation of a “Russian national waltz”. A few decades past its actual creation it was already very often (if not always) labeled as “old-time waltz” on Soviet records, which suggested a kind of ancient folk tune. In fact, this waltz is neither folk nor (even nowadays) very ancient. On the Hills of... These Foolish Things (Remind Me of You)

These Foolish Things (Remind Me of You)
‘Spread It Abroad’ is a long-forgotten musical revue from 1935 that had at least one memorable moment – ‘These Foolish Things (Remind Me of You).’ Eric Maschwitz, the song writer, around 1936 wrote ‘These Foolish Things’ for Anna May Wong. Maschwitz wrote the song after having worked in America, he had a rather romantic and deep felt affair with Anna May Wong and then, after it broke up, returned to England to be Head of Variety at the... |
