Musical Jukebox

Continuing with the 60s songs, we have this classic by the Doors, notable for it's extended solo. I'll just let the song speak for itself.

Whimsical, sweet and carefree. Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison charmed with this little hit about a (who else?) brown-eyed girl who he used to be in love with. It's a break-up song, but you'd never tell by just listening to it. 

Clapton wrote this song as a confession to his George Harrison's wife, Patti Boyd. He later married her, but they divorced in 1989. Hailed as one of the greatest rock songs, the ballad is characterized by its beautiful guitar solo and aching, desperate lyrics lyrics. 

Originally released in 1972 in Stealers Wheel's self-titled album, his song was made iconic for its use in Quentin Tarantino's debut film, Reservoir Dogs. As Mr. Blonde prepares to torture a young cop, he tunes in to K-Billy's Super Sounds of the 70s. Dubbed as a "Dylanesque, pop, bubble-gum favorite", it provided the macabre accompaniment to the gruesome ear-cutting scene, staking its place in cinema history.

They did a pretty cool acoustic street jam of this song, which you can view here. Their album is available on iTunes as well.

A slightly older indie track, but still a gem nonetheless (: It was used the song for an iPod Nano commercial in 2008, and quickly gained traction amongst the indie music scene. It's a whimsical tune, but still melds nicely with the electronic sound and beat, as well as the bass line. Interesting mix of elements that creates a unique little song (:

So Fun is an indie band that's been around for a couple of years. This is the lead single off their second album Some Nights, which follows their well-received debut album Aim and Ignite. I really like the explosive sound of this song, and the vocals of Nate Ruess is stellar. The lyrical composition is excellent as well.

It's a really catchy, soulful song, and I love the distribution of lines on this between all the members of New Directions. Props to them for finding this great new song, it's only been out a couple of months or so. I'll be posting the original up too (: Enjoy!

I'll be updating really soon, so check back for more music!
