Now and Always (2005) – David Gray
I was first introduced to David Gray’s music by a friend during a car trip to Hanging Rock, just outside Melbourne, around 2007. Man, do I owe that person a high five – and on the flip side – because…
Billie Jean (1983) – Michael Jackson
Ladies and gents, it’s time to warm-up that high-pitched “Woo!”, break out the ol’ white glove, black hat, and get those feet moonwalkin’ – because we’ve got one of the biggest hits of the ’80s from one of the greatest…

This Guy’s in Love with You (1968) – Burt Bacharach (Ft. Herb Alpert)
If there’s one song I’ve learned to appreciate with age, it’s today’s featured track. Heck, I doubt I’d have cared much for This Guy’s in Love with You even ten years ago. It’s from my parents’ time – the kind…
Maudie (2016) – Aisling Walsh (Friday’s Finest)
“Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem.…
