Wayback Wednesday – Tears For Fears – Shout

Some days call for a song that can speak to the frustrations of life. Sometimes you just need to shout. This is from Tears for Fears 1985 album Songs from the Big Chair. 

If you need to shout good people then just shout.

Tunes Tuesday – Brooks & Dunn – That Ain’t No Way To Go

I was a student at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro, TN back in the early 1990’s and I was becoming a country music fan at the time. I cut my “country teeth” on Brooks and Dunn who were a rising powerhouse duo. This song is one I have great fondness for its soul and storytelling. Ronnie Dunn is a great vocalist who has a classic tone to his voice. Enjoy this blast from the past.

Music Monday – Starship – Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now

Something inspirational for the day. Starship is one of my favorites from back in the day.

Saturday Sounds – Sting – Russians

This song seems to be appropriate for the times in which we live. “Russians” comes from the 1985 album Dream of The Blue Turtles. Sting’s early solo work inspired me and helped me shape my world view as a teenager. America might not be at odds with the Russians like we were back in the day but there is still a little animosity. Today there are new people we are afraid of.

#FBF – Flashback Friday – Air Supply – Lost In Love

From one of the cheesiest duos of the 1980, this tandem from Australia are the kings of sappy pop of the era. I think its way cool music that is easy on the ears.
