Watermark is my joint favourite Enya song alongside A Day Without Rain. These two soft piano pieces are nearly indistinguishable, so much so that I often confuse one for the other. When I listened to Watermark this morning, I was…

Waterloo (1974) – ABBA
Despite all the offshoots, including musicals and movies, that the Swedish pop group ABBA has produced, that spectacular harmony created by the two ladies, namely Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad, has never been matched. ABBA remains something of an enigma…

Who’s up for a highway song? I first heard this only recently when I was researching another rocker from the Southern rock band Blackfoot called Train, Train. You see, that song and today’s featured song Highway Song were their big…
Waltz in C Sharp Minor (Op. 64 No. 2) 1846–47 – Frédéric Chopin
When I see Chopin’s name appear alongside a piece such as today’s, and without even discerning which one it may be, my eyes still light up in anticipation because I know I’m guaranteed to be swept away by something so…
