My new favourite place to frequent in my adopted home city of Bogotá, Colombia is the Cultural Centre – Julio Mario Santo Domingo, which houses both a massive library and mayor theatre. Last Saturday evening I had the good fortune…

Simple Life (1992) – Elton John
Simple Life is yet another great song from Elton John’s underrated 1992 album The One (image inset). It is more restrained and introspective than his high-energy, piano-driven music of his 1970s and 1980s peak. The song – the final single…
Go Your Own Way (1976) – Fleetwood Mac
The classic break-up rock song Go Your Own Way by Fleetwood Mac had inexplicably flown under my radar for decades – until a friend put it on last weekend. Although I’m far from well acquainted with Fleetwood Mac’s full discography,…
Nebraska (1982) – Bruce Springsteen
(Referring to the album – Nebraska) This is not about the charts. This is about Bruce Springsteen. And these are the songs that he wants to work on right now. Let me tell you a little story when Bruce was…

Pagan Baby is a stellar guitar rocker, laden with smokin’ riffs that get you pumping. It’s mostly instrumental interspersed with John Fogerty’s raw and energetic voice that conveys a sense of urgency. Also his unique regional accent contributes to the…
There She Goes (1988) – The La’s
There She Goes is a juicy Power Pop song which comes in an assortment of flavours since it was so widely covered. It was the theme song for the Gilmore Girls pilot, but I first heard it in the alternative…
There Is a Light That Never Goes Out (1986) – The Smiths
“I didn’t realise that ‘There Is a Light That Never Goes Out’ was going to be an anthem, but, when we first played it, I thought it was the best song I’d ever heard.” – Johnny Marr’s (guitarist) comment on…
There is a Garden (1993) – Archie Roach
Archie Roach’s There is a Garden stands, to my ears, as a contemporary spiritual masterpiece. It is a song so stark and hauntingly simple in its arrangement, yet it’s precisely the absence of embellishment that makes it feel timeless, almost…
One Fine Day (1963) – The Chiffons
It was lovely to open the blinds this morning in Bogotá, Colombia, and see the makings of one fine day – perfect to lead us into today’s song. Being so close to the equator, this region doesn’t experience four traditional…
