It has got up to 36 degrees today here in Perth, so Spring is definitely on us. It has been a stinker of a day, but brings with it the excitement of a long summer. As I looked at songs along the theme of the moon a few weeks ago, I thought today would be a fitting day to choose some songs with a 'sun' theme. Didn't realise there would be so many, but here is a few of my favourites.
My first crush - Morten Harket from A-Ha. I was definitely going to marry him and loved everything about them and their music. Here is "The Sun Always Shines on TV" Sorry about the clip, I couldn't find one that would let me embed.
"Island in the Sun" from Weezer. A really happy, boppy, sunny song. Always puts a smile on my face.
The classic sun song - "Here comes the Sun" from the best band to ever walk the planet, The Beatles. Sorry about the clip, best I could find.
Soundgarden - "Black Hole Sun" - so pumped they have reformed and will be doing the festival circuit this year.
Another band I had enormous exposure to when living in the UK, The Libertines - "Don't Look Back in to the Sun". One of TBone's favourite bands, so I have grown to love their work by osmosis. I don't like Pete Doherty or Baby Shambles at all, but I love Carl and his side project Dirty Pretty Things - they have disbanded, but check them out if you can.
Enjoy and have a great week.
