Don’t Give Up – Peter Gabriel (Feat. Kate Bush)
One of the best bridges that I have heard in all of modern music is in this song – Don’t Give Up. And it’s short and may not provide you with all the music goodies, but it sure did me…
Burning Gold (2014) – Christina Perri

I was telling Bernie at his blog article on the (2015) Steve Jobs movie that California Dreamin’ as seen in Dragon ‘The Bruce Lee Story’ is the ants’ pants, because it demonstrates how delicate and fraught the whole notion ‘a…
Love and Mercy (1988) – Brian Wilson
