Your favourite song of the week

[Essex Boy]

The first time I heard this song I'd never even heard of Talking Heads. I assumed this was the original.

I'm a big Enigma fan, so yeah. I'm getting used to the new track.

That's a hard act to follow. I find it mesmerising, whereas the original makes me reach for the off switch.


This is a song I heard only once, in 2002, and I've never fogotten it. I didn't catch the title, the singer's name, or anything else, all I knew was that it was in Yiddish, so I had no idea what it was about. Yesterday I went trawling through Yiddish songs YouTube and BINGO! I've found it after all this time. It's called "Papirosn" ("cigarettes") and it's very famous. There are dozens of versions. Here's a translation and here's the back story if you're interested. Enjoy!

Starting a new week with a positive twist and head in the clouds.

Coldplay - A Head Full of Dreams (PC Media Player)

Something suitably wistful and autumnal, and quite haunting if you hear it a few times.
They're sisters and they write the songs. The pianist did the arrangement.

This is for anyone who has recently burned their bridges behind them, or even just dreams about it.

Nobody playing any more?

This was the biggest selling record of December 1916.

Dear face that holds so sweet a smile for me,
Were you not mine, how dark the world would be!
I know no light above that could replace
Love's radiant sunshine in your dear, dear face.

refrain
Give me your smile, the love-light in your eyes,
Life could not hold a fairer Paradise!
Give me the right to love you all the while,
My world for ever, the sunshine of your smile!


Shadows may fall upon the land and sea,
Sunshine from all the world may hidden be;
But I shall see no cloud across the sun;
Your smile shall light my life, till life is done!

refrain
Give me your smile, the love-light in your eyes,
Life could not hold a fairer Paradise!
Give me the right to love you all the while,
My world for ever, the sunshine of your smile!​
