History, (I was Born Blind) (2008) – Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu
History, (I was Born Blind) is the fourth song presented here by one of my favourite Australian artists and it’s from one of my favourite Australian albums ‘Gurrumul‘. Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu tragically passed away at just 46 years of age…

Hey Hey My My (Into the Black) (1979) – Neil Young
Neil Young songs have been coming here thick and fast, but I’m reluctant to admit I haven’t got that many in my collection. Like David Bowie (the previous artist to feature here), I wish I had delved more into Young’s…
Heroes (1977) – David Bowie
This is my favourite song by Bowie although I am an admirer of many including Ziggy Stardust which features currently in the music audio on my page. I am by no means a connoisseur of his music, but this song…
Hero (1993) – Mariah Carey
I have strong memories of this song. In 1994, I was in Sydney on rest with friends at the Coogee Bay Hotel. At the time, fires were burning along the coastal areas of New South Wales and I remember being…
