Still mourning the loss of John Prine this week.

The world should be. The humanity in his songs is almost peerless. What a loss to us all:

[Norman Potting]

A right up to date story song about the current crisis

[Ooh it’s a corner]

If I’ve got the hang of this the video shows the Rubettes singing Under One Roof. The guy who sang the lead vocal on their No. 1 Sugar Baby Love is on acoustic guitar this time and it looks like Les Gray’s brother on lead guitar.
It came out in the same year as The Killing of Georgie and is on a similar theme.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Springsteen has so many to choose from but this is just my favourite

Love this guy's songs - the are nearly all stories. This one pre dates Trump's efforts by quite a while (written in 2006 I believe) , and has one of my favourite lyrics near the end.



He has great titles to great songs - try also "East of Woodstock, West of Vietnam" and "The sky above, the mud below" to name just two. Has also being doing live stream stuff during the current situation.

A song about Bishop Eamon Casey, sung by Christy Moore

 

[METALMICKY]

Difficult to choose with Iron Maiden as probably the masters of storytelling. But narrowed it down to these three.

Their spin on the classic poem by Samuel Coleridge.

Maiden's song related to the infamous Charge of the Light Brigade from the Crimean war.



Maiden recall the horrors of World War I trench warfare

 

[wunt be druv]

[Perfidious Albion]

Rock and Roll I Gave To You The Best Years Of My Life

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Another classic
