Good Friday evening, friends. Tonight, we are going to learn the meaning of the 80s classic song Africa by Toto.  “Africa” is a song recorded by the American rock band Toto. The lyrics of “Africa” capture the quandary of a guy who must choose between his two loves — the continent of Africa and the girl he finds therein. The song’s co-writer, David Paich (keyboardist and vocalist of Toto), said he was inspired to write the song when during the early 80s, he watched a documentary about the “death and suffering” plaguing many people in Africa. According to Paich, the horrible images of suffering stayed in his mind for a very long time, forcing him to imagine what he would feel and what he’d do had he had the misfortune to be there. “Africa” actually has some interpretations, one of which is an invitation to immerse oneself in a situation of terrible death and suffering, as was the case in Africa at the time of the song, and to determine what one would do.  In a 2015 interview, Paich said the song is about a man’s deep love of Africa. Three years later, the songwriter went on to describe the song as one that is about someone flying to a distant land (apparently Africa) to meet a lonely missionary there. FYI: Growing up, Paich was enrolled in a Catholic school, and many of the teachers at his school often traveled to Africa where they worked as missionaries. And that inspired the lyrics, “I bless the rains down in Africa. ”The line 'I seek to cure what’s deep inside, frightened of this thing that I’ve become” is a personal reflection. Here, the singer sees a need to take a break from his work and give some time to other important things in life, such as getting married, having kids, etc.  Paich confirmed the meaning of this line in an interview he had with SongFacts. In the interview, Paich said that at the time he wrote the song, he was at a period in his life where he had become so immersed in his musical career that he felt he was becoming a victim of his career. Owing to this, Paich said he could not go out to focus on the important things in life that people of his age were engaged in, such as getting married and starting a family.  The word “Kilimanjaro” in the line “As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti” is Mount Kilimanjaro – the highest mountain in Africa. Mount Kilimanjaro is located in Tanzania. On the other hand, “Serengeti” refers to the Serengeti ecosystem, which is among the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa. The Serengeti is located in both Tanzania and Kenya. As of “Olympus”, it is the highest mountain in Greece. So, because Kilimanjaro and Serengeti are located in the same region (the northern part of Tanzania), it makes perfect sense for the writer(s) to refer to Kilimanjaro as towering over Serengeti.

Good Thursday afternoon, dear friend, today we are going to know the meaning behind the song Bad Liar by Imagine Dragons. Enjoy the song.  “Bad Liar” is a single from the American rock group Imagine Dragons. The track chronicles a tumultuous relationship that the band’s lead singer, Dan Reynolds, experienced with his wife, musician Aja Volkman. In the first verse of “Bad Liar”, the lyricist is comforting his “dear” as he acknowledges that it has been a “difficult year”.  However, he then goes on to make heartless, contradictory, and even erroneous statements.  First off, he claims that “terrors don’t prey on innocent victims”, which is not only false but also implies that his “dear” deserves the “difficult year” she experienced.  Then he goes on to say he’s afraid of “integrity… and crocodile tears”, even though these two nouns are antonyms of each other. In the pre-chorus, the lyricist once again acknowledges that he and his lover are going through a problematic time, expresses his desire to make things better, yet his powerlessness to do so. When you take the lyrics of the pre-chorus leading into the chorus, you could tell that the singer has a desire to make his partner “believe” that the issues plaguing the relationship would ultimately be rectified.  However, in the chorus, she once again adopts a disposition of hopelessness as he acknowledges that he is a “bad liar”.  In other words, the lyricist himself doesn’t even believe that the issues in the relationship can be solved. During the second verse, the singer seems to give the impression that he made a mistake by getting married – for instance questioning whether or not ‘happiness lies in a demand ring’ and then going on to say he has been ‘asking for problems, problems, problems’, as if to insinuate he brought this sorrow upon himself by seeking out the relationship in the first place. During the bridge, the lyricist admits to his partner that he “can’t be what you want me to be”.  He follows this up by saying, “Believe me, this one time”.  In other words, he is pleading with her that even if she doesn’t believe anything else he says, she should be convinced that he can’t live up to her expectations for the relationship. The second chorus is identical to the first.  However, the placement of it in the song is what perhaps makes its implied meaning more significant.  The chorus ends with the singer stating to his partner, “Now you’re free to go.” However, unlike the first chorus, this time that statement is followed by the lines of the outro, which go “please believe me, please believe me”.  Ultimately, Imagine Dragons’ “Bad Liar” can be interpreted in one of two ways.  On the surface, it’s the tale of a person who lived to regret his decision to get married because he couldn’t live up to his partner’s expectations.  However, since the main theme of the track is his inability to tell the truth, it can be understood that anything he says is a lie.  So, for instance, when he’s telling his wife she’s “free to go” and then follows that up by begging her to believe him, he could be ‘lying’ and in turn want her to stay. In general, according to Reynolds, “Bad Liar” is about his tumultuous relationship with Volkman. According to him, he and Volkman couldn’t fake it. They couldn’t lie to each other and tell each other that everything was fine in their marriage because things weren’t fine.

Good Wednesday afternoon, friend. Today, we're going to explore the meaning behind the song Sailor's Lament by CCR (Creedence Clearwater Revival).  The song "Sailor's Lament" by Creedence Clearwater Revival portrays the story of a sailor who experiences a series of unfortunate events. The lyrics display a sense of regret and disappointment. In the first verse, the sailor wakes up feeling light, indicating a sense of relief or perhaps hope. However, he soon realizes that somebody took advantage of him the night before. This betrayal is represented by the repeated phrase "Shame, it's a shame," emphasizing the sailor's disappointment and frustration. The sailor then engages in a "friendly duel" with characters described as "one-eyed jacks and jokers." This could be a metaphor for engaging in risky or questionable activities with unreliable people, leading to further disappointment and regret. In the chorus, the repetition of "Ooh, sailor man, shame, it's a shame" reinforces the sailor's lamentation over his unfortunate circumstances. The second verse introduces a character named Poormouth Henry, who intends to take advantage of the sailor by picking him clean. This suggests that the sailor is surrounded by individuals who seek to exploit him, leading to his continued misfortune. In the third verse, Henry warns the sailor not to touch the pile, implying that the sailor must be cautious and avoid making reckless decisions. Henry possesses three aces while the sailor only has five cards, symbolizing how the sailor feels outmatched and disadvantaged in life. Overall, "Sailor's Lament" conveys a theme of disappointment and regret, illustrating the sailor's struggles with trust, betrayal, and unfavorable circumstances. The repeated expression of shame reflects the sailor's feelings of self-blame and the realization that his choices and the people he encounters have led him down a path of hardship.

Good Friday afternoon, music lovers. Today I will be adding three songs to today's post and Playlist for GSOTD. The first song is brand new this year, and the last two come from arguably the best decade of music, the 1980s. Enjoy the music. Electropop/Indiepop/ambient music/cinematic pop: Where Is My Mind by Ruelle. Ruelle's cinematic and atmospheric cover of the original song by the Pixies. Ruelle's version transforms the track into a haunting, ethereal experience, emphasizing deep emotional resonance through her signature electropop and indie pop sound. Written by Charles Thompson (aka Black Francis) and originally performed by the Pixies. Notable Features: The track has been used in various film and TV soundtracks, adding to its emotionally evocative nature. synth-rock/soft-rock/power ballad: Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now by Starship. It was released in January 1987 as part of their album No Protection. The song was inspired by Albert Hammond’s personal life, specifically his marriage after a long-term relationship. It conveys a determined, feel-good message about love overcoming obstacles. It was the theme song for the 1987 romantic-comedy film Mannequin, starring Andrew McCarthy and Kim Cattrall. The song became Starship’s third No. 1 hit, topping the Billboard Hot 100 and several international charts.  It was nominated for Best Original Song at the 60th Academy Awards, marking Diane Warren’s first No. 1 hit. World music/Art-pop/Rock: In Your Eyes (2012 Remaster) by Peter Gabriel. Originally released in 1986 on Gabriel’s album So, the 2012 remaster enhances the clarity and depth of the original recording. It features Senegalese singer Youssou N'Dour, who provides additional vocals toward the end of the track. Inspired by an African tradition of ambiguity between romantic love and spiritual devotion, Gabriel’s lyrics explore themes of connection, transcendence, and emotional depth.

Good Wednesday morning, friend. Here is something that may elevate your interest in the animal world. There's a jellyfish that can theoretically live forever. The species Turritopsis dohrnii has an incredible ability—it can revert its cells to an earlier stage of life whenever it faces injury or starvation. Essentially, it can restart its biological clock and begin life anew. Scientists have dubbed it the "immortal jellyfish," though, unfortunately, immortality doesn't protect it from predators.

"Want You" is a collaboration between Luh Kel and Queen Naija, released as part of Luh Kel's album L.O.V.E. in 2020. The song seamlessly blends R&B, soul, and pop, delivering an emotionally charged narrative about longing and love.

She is known for her smooth vocals and heartfelt storytelling, often drawing from personal experiences in her songs. Folk/ Indie/ Alternative/Singer-songwriter: Everybody's Son by Cloves. "Everybody's Son" was released in 2015 as part of Cloves' debut EP, XIII. The song is a stripped-down ballad, carried by delicate guitar work and Cloves' hauntingly soulful vocals. It explores themes of love, self-discovery, and emotional reflection, telling the story of realizing that someone special has been there all along. Cloves, whose real name is Kaity Dunston, is an Australian singer-songwriter known for her deeply emotive storytelling and soulful voice.  Indie pop/Ballad/Singer-songwriter/Acoustic: The Same by Birdy. "The Same" is a track from Birdy's 2013 album Fire Within. The song carries a deeply introspective tone, reflecting themes of individuality, self-worth, and resisting societal pressure. The lyrics express frustration with conforming to expectations and emphasize staying true to one's morals despite external influences. Birdy explores the idea of purity lost in vain, questioning why she should change to fit others' expectations. The song conveys a sense of disillusionment and emotional exhaustion, as she reflects on people who once ignored her but now seek her attention. The chorus reinforces her refusal to conform, highlighting her determination to remain authentic. Have a blessed day. Take care and GOD bless.   ... View more

  Good Thursday evening, friend, welcome to This Day In The History Of Music. I hope you had a memorable Memorial Day weekend with family and friends. Enjoy the read.  1) On this day in 1753, Joseph Haydn’s first opera, “Krumme Teufel” (The Limping Devil), premiered in Vienna. Der krumme Teufel (The Lame Devil or “The Limping Devil”, was Joseph Haydn’s first opera. This German-language comic opera in the genre of Singspiel was commissioned by its librettist, the leading comic actor Joseph Felix von Kurz, from the French novel Le Diable boiteux by Alain-René Lesage. It was forbidden after two acclaimed performances in Vienna due to “offensive remarks in the text”, but later revived and probably revised as Der neue krumme Teufel (“The New Lame Devil”, in 1757 or 1758. According to Dies, “This opera was performed twice to great acclaim, and then was forbidden because of offensive remarks in the text.” The music is lost, though a libretto survives for each version. Der krumme Teufel, and the collaboration with Kurz more generally, helped the early career success of Haydn, who by 1757 was no longer a struggling freelancer but a Kapellmeister with his orchestra to direct. 2) On this day in 1913, the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris witnessed one of the most legendary and tumultuous premieres in the history of classical music: the debut of Igor Stravinsky’s ballet “The Rite of Spring” (Le Sacre du Printemps). The event has since become a symbol of avant-garde art and a landmark moment in the evolution of 20th-century music after it sparked a riot. A Russian composer, Stravinsky was already gaining attention for his innovative works at the beginning of the 20th century. “The Rite of Spring” was his third ballet score for Sergei Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes, following “The Firebird” (1910) and “Petrushka” (1911). However, “The Rite of Spring” diverged sharply from the lush orchestration and folkloric charm of his earlier pieces. Stravinsky’s new work was conceived as a portrayal of pagan rituals celebrating the advent of spring, culminating in a sacrificial dance. 3) On this day in 1942, "White Christmas" is a song reminiscing about an old-fashioned Christmas setting. Written by Irving Berlin for the 1942 musical film  Holiday Inn, the song won the Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 15th Academy Awards. Originally sung by Bing Crosby, it topped the Billboard chart for 11 weeks and returned to the number one position again in December 1943 and 1944. His version would return to the top 40 a dozen times in subsequent years. Since its release, "White Christmas" has been covered by many artists. Crosby's version is the world's best-selling single  (in terms of sales of physical media), with estimated sales in excess of 50 million physical copies worldwide. When the figures for other versions of the song are added to Crosby's, sales of the song exceed 100 million copies sold. 4) On this day in 1960, "Cathy's Clown" is a popular song written by Don Everly and recorded by The Everly Brothers 1960. The lyrics describe a man who has been wronged and publicly humiliated by his lover: "Here he comes / That's Cathy's clown". The choruses are sung by brothers Don and Phil in their trademark close harmony style, while Don sings the bridges solo. "Cathy's Clown" is noted for its unorthodox structure, such as beginning on a chorus and having bridges but no verses. The song was a worldwide success and the best-selling single of the Everly Brothers' career. Because of its enduring influence on popular music, the song was added to the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress in 2013.  5) On this day in 1961, Ricky Nelson started a two-week run at No.1 on the US singles chart with 'Travellin' Man'. Sam Cooke turned the song down, the B-side was the Gene Pitney song 'Hello Mary Lou', which became a double A-side UK No.1. 6) On this day in 1962, Chubby Checker won a Grammy Award for Best Rock and Roll Recording for ‘Let's Twist Again’. Written by Kal Mann and Dave Appell, the song refers to the Twist dance craze and Checker's 1960 single 'The Twist', a two-time US No.1 single (in September 1960 and again in January 1962 on re-release). Also at the awards, Ray Charles won Best Rhythm & Blues Recording for ‘Hit The Road Jack’.  7) On this day in 1965 The Beach Boys started a two week run at No.1 on the US singles chart with 'Help Me Rhonda', the group's second US No.1. The recording session was interrupted by the Wilson brothers' drunken father, Murry, who arrived at the studio to criticize the Boys enthusiasm. The recording reel continued to record the confrontation, which still circulates among fans. 😎 On this day in 1965, Bob Dylan's album Bringing It All Back Home was at No.1 on the UK charts, his second UK No.1 album. The black and white pamphlet lying across the Time magazine with President Lyndon B. Johnson on the cover is a publication of the Earth Society, which saw its mission as protecting Earth from collisions with comets and planets. 9) On this day in 1967, Elvis and Priscilla hosted a second wedding reception in the trophy room at Graceland to accommodate family, friends, and employees who were not in Las Vegas for their May 1st wedding. The room was decorated in green and white for the reception. The wedding cake was provided by Monte's Catering Service with music from Tony Barrasso. 10) On this day in 1971, The Rolling Stones started a two-week run at No.1 on the US singles chart with 'Brown Sugar', from Sticky Fingers. The first single released on Rolling Stones Records, it was the band's sixth US No.1, and a No.2 hit in the UK. 11) On this day in 1983 US school boy band (which included Bobby Brown), New Edition, were at No.1 on the UK singles chart with 'Candy Girl'. Songwriter & producer Maurice Starr discovered New Edition performing at a local talent show. Starr went on to produce and write for New Kids on the Block.  12) On this day in 1997 Singer singer-songwriter Jeff Buckley disappeared after taking a swim in the Mississippi River. His body was found on 4th June 1997 after being spotted by a passenger on a tourist riverboat. 13) On this day in 1999, Skeletal remains were found by photographers looking for old car wrecks to shoot at the bottom of Decker Canyon near Malibu, California. Based on forensic evidence, the remains were Philip Kramer, former bassist with the rock group Iron Butterfly, who had disappeared on his way home from work on February 12, 1995. His death was ruled a probable suicide. 14) On this day in 2005, Gorillaz scored their first UK No.1 album when 'Demon Days' went to the top of the charts. 15) On this day in 2006, Singer David Bowie joins guitarist David Gilmour as special guest during the encore at the Royal Albert Hall, London concert; they perform "Arnold Layne" and "Comfortably Numb" in what becomes Bowie's final UK appearance.  16) On this day in 2007, A piano used by John Lennon on the night he died was put up for sale for $375,000 (£189,000) on The Moments in Time memorabilia website. The upright grand piano was part of the Record Plant Recording Studios in New York, where the former Beatle recorded his 1971 Imagine album. Lennon was said to be so fond of the instrument that he had it moved to whichever studio he was working in and had used the piano hours before being shot on 8 December 1980. 17) On this day in 2009, Phil Spector was jailed for at least 19 years for murdering an actress in 2003. The producer, 69, famed for his Wall of Sound recording technique, was last month found guilty of shooting Lana Clarkson at his California home. Spector had pleaded not guilty to the second-degree murder during the five-month retrial in Los Angeles. His lawyers said he would appeal. Spector was given a sentence of 15 years to life for second-degree murder and an additional four years for personal use of a gun. 18) On this day in 2019, Tony Glover, the influential blues harmonica player who was a longtime peer of Bob Dylan and helped teach Mick Jagger how to play, died of natural causes age of 79. He also worked as a writer and critic, contributing to magazines Crawdaddy and Cream, while also writing extensively for Rolling Stone between 1968 and 1973. 19) On this day in 2020, Lady Gaga released her sixth studio album Chromatica. This gave Gaga her sixth consecutive Billboard 200-topping album, the eighth woman to claim six chart-topping albums, and, at nine years and two days, the record for the fastest six album No.1 tally by a female artist. It was also Gaga's fourth No.1 entry on the UK charts. 20) On this day in 2021, American singer B. J. Thomas died of lung cancer age of 78. He scored hits with ‘Hooked on a Feeling’ (1968), ‘Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head’ (1969), ‘(Hey Won't You Play) Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song’ (1975), ‘Don't Worry Baby’ (1977) and ‘Whatever Happened to Old-Fashioned Love’ (1983). 21) On this day in 2024, A guitar used by John Lennon became the most expensive Beatles instrument ever sold at auction. The Framus 12-string Hootenanny acoustic guitar was found in an attic after being presumed lost for more than 50 years. It sold for $2.9m (£2.3m) via a telephone bid at the Hard Rock Cafe in New York. Lennon played the song 'You've Got To Hide Your Love Away' on the guitar in the 1965 film Help! and it was also used on recordings on the album of the same name. Born On This Day In The Music World: 1) Born on this day in 1730, William Jackson, also known as Jackson of Exeter, was an English composer and  organist 12. He was born in Exeter, England, in 1730 and died in 1803. Jackson was the organist and choirmaster at Exeter Cathedral from 1777. His opera The Lord of the Manor (1780) was widely performed. 2) Born on this day in 1881, Frederick Septimus Kelly is one of the most enigmatic of the War Composers. An Australian by birth, he was probably more famous in his day as a rower than a composer; he won gold with the men's 'Eight' in the 1908 London Olympics and was said to have a grace and ability on the water that no other oarsman of his generation could match. A talented pianist, he was carving an unusual dual career as a musician and sportsman. The two sometimes overlapped, as heard in his raucous early cricket song ‘Eton and Winchester’. In terms of his compositions, he is largely agreed to have been a late starter in terms of gaining a unique voice; reviews of his published works usually state that they are competent but unremarkable, although recordings of his works remain scarce, and some works are still in manuscript in Australia. He joined the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve during WWI  and, after surviving the Gallipoli campaign, he was killed in action in the Battle of the Somme in November 1916.  3) Born on this day in 1897, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Korngold is often associated with the creation of the symphonic film score. Indeed, many of his admirers today became familiar with his music through his film scores of the 1930s and 1940s. But before arriving in Hollywood, he was a well-known composer of concert and chamber music, operas and stage works, as well as an arranger and conductor. Though most often compared to Mozart himself, Korngold was, in his own right, one of the most gifted composing child-prodigies in the history of music. Erich Wolfgang Korngold was born into a Jewish home in Brünn, Moravia (today known as Brno, the Czech Republic) on 29 May 1897 as the second son of Dr. Julius Korngold and his wife Josefine. In 1934, at the request of Max Reinhardt, who was already working in the United States, Korngold came to Hollywood to arrange Mendelssohn’s incidental music for Reinhardt’s film version of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. One year later, during his second stay in America, Korngold composed film scores for both Paramount and Warner Bros. Shortly after, he signed an exclusive contract with Warner Bros., making him one of the first world-renowned composers to work for the Hollywood film factory. His first original score for Captain Blood helped launch Errol Flynn’s film career in 1935, and Korngold’s score for the movie Anthony Adverse received an Oscar for the best film music of the year 1936.  Though under contract with Warner Bros., Korngold was living between two worlds, composing film scores in Hollywood, but attempting to maintain his concert and opera presence in Europe. In 1938, the “Anschluss” of Austria by the German National Socialists took the Korngolds by surprise. To save his family, Korngold moved them to the US, choosing to write film scores regularly and essentially vowing not to compose concert works again until Hitler was removed from power. His first movie score as an exiled resident in the New World – The Adventures of Robin Hood – earned him his second Oscar. Until 1946, Korngold composed mainly film music, using his income to support many friends and refugees fleeing the tyranny in Europe. Together with Max Steiner, he stood for a new music style in Hollywood, in which his highly illustrative but independent music partly intervened in the story of the film by expressing atmosphere, and simultaneously utilized the Wagnerian concept of leitmotifs. Some of the movies he scored include The Prince and the Pauper (1937), Juarez (1939), The Sea Hawk (1940), The Sea Wolf(1941), Kings Row (1941), and Deception (1946).  4) Born on this day in 1925, Danny Davis [George Nowlan], A resident of Nashville, began his music career as a trumpeter, playing in the brass sections of bands led by Les Brown, Gene Krupa, and others in the 1940s. Davis became a record producer for MGM in New York City, where he produced a number of hit singles with singer Connie Francis. In 1968, he moved to Nashville to be a producer for RCA Records, with guitarist Chet Atkins as his boss. He worked with Floyd Cramer, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Dottie West, and other top musicians. Davis formed the Nashville Brass in 1968. The next year, the band won a Grammy Award for its version of the popular song “Kawliga." It also won the Country Music Association. Award for best instrumental group six times, starting in 1969. The group appeared on the television variety shows of Mike Douglas, Red Skelton, Ed Sullivan, and others, as well as at inauguration celebrations for Presidents Nixon and Reagan. The band continued performing for nearly 30 years and recorded more than 30 albums. 5) Born on this day in 1935, Singer Sylvia Robinson, who had the 1973 US No.3 & UK No. 14 single 'Pillow Talk' and, as Mickey & Sylvia, the 1957 US No.11 single 'Love Is Strange'. She later became known for her work as the founder and CEO of the hip-hop label Sugar Hill Records. Robinson died on 29 September 2011. 6) Born on this day in 1941, Roy Crewsdon, from the 1960s pop band Freddie and the Dreamers. They scored the 1963 UK No.3 single 'You Were Made For Me', and the 1965 US No.1 single 'I'm Telling You Now'. 7) Born on this day in 1945, Gary Brooker, English singer, songwriter, pianist, and founder and lead singer of the rock band Procol Harum, who had the 1967 UK No.1 and US No.5 single A Whiter Shade Of Pale. (one of the few singles to have sold over 10 million copies) and scored the hits 'Homburg', 'Conquistador'.
