Welcome to my blog of "Songs from a Quarantine".
Going into shielded quarantine on my own for 12 weeks due to the CoronaVirus, I wanted to take the opportunity to produce something on a daily basis, to mark this period of my life. It will be something to fit in between my reading, films / Netflix and food.
There will be an inevitable slew of books (and babies too) in 9 months as confined people try to write the great American novel or address a mid-life crisis.
For me, I wanted to review the favorite songs from my life. It would let me play the songs again, and see why they are special, try to understand the meaning, and supply any context or facts.
I should stress immediately that any resemblance to Nick Horny's "31 songs" is purely coincidental. I haven't read that book twice or have all his books on my bookshelves.
The songs will be in random order, and I will try to limit myself to one song per artist, but there will be the obvious exceptions of The Beatles and Bob Dylan. Some songs and artists will be famous and obvious, some will be more obscure, as I try to show off.
Hopefully it allow the reader to see old songs in a new light, disagree with my views totally, find some new music, or prompt you to replay your favorites in these dark days.
Good luck !
David
