O Soave Fanciulla – Act 1 (La Bohème) 1896 – Giacomo Puccini
This is the second musical piece to feature here from Italian composer Giacomo Puccini. I first heard this in the movie Moonstruck which I reviewed here. O soave fanciulla (O gentle maiden) is a romantic duet from the first act of Giacomo Puccini’s 1896 opera La…
La Basurita (1976) – Flor Silvestre
La Basurita (Little Garbage) was recommended to me here in Colombia and I was always fond of it. It is a type of ‘Ranchera‘ music which is traditional Mexican music that often features a Mariachi band. It originated in northern…
Knowing Me, Knowing You (1977) – ABBA
Knowing Me, Knowing You is the third song to appear here from one of the greatest pop groups of the 1970’s – ABBA. This is my favourite song from this super group. Despite having heard it hundreds of times I…

Kathleen (2008) – David Gray
This is the fourth song to appear here from British singer songwriter David Gray and the second from his record Draw The Line. Cerca 2007, I was introduced to his music on a car trip to Hanging Rock, outside of…
Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues (1965) – Bob Dylan
This is another one of those mid-60’s Dylan songs where I needed to let it settle with me a while until I could find the courage to write something about it. It takes me on average about 5 times longer…
I Do It For You (2022) – Christina Perri
I feel fortunate to have heard a lot from Christina Perri’s latest album – A Lighter Shade of Blue. I think it’s groundbreaking material. I recently wrote in the article of her song Evergone that this isn’t the type of…
Confirmed by Mother no Less, ‘David Hobson is the Greatest Singer at Australian Christmas Carols’
My favourite Christmas carol O Holy Night sung by my favourite Christmas carol singer David Hobson. There is another post I wrote about his mesmerising performance of The Holy City. Nothing jolts me into the festive spirit more than listening to…
