Song of the Day 4/21/21

TODAY’S SONG OF THE DAY IS… “Wish You Were Here” by Pink Floyd This song was on the 1975 album Wish You Were Here. It sounds like the lyrics were about Syd Barrett, who left Pink Floyd in 1968, but according to Roger Waters and David Gilmour it was not. David Gilmour says that because of the resonance and the emotional weight it carries, it is one of their best songs.

TODAY’S SONG OF THE DAY IS… “New York Groove” by Hello This song is more popularly known by Ace Frehley from KISS, but it was done by a British band called Hello in 1975. It’s a cute song. It’s one that gets stuck in your head easily for sure.
