Who would have thought a song challenge would get the ol’ grey matter working? It is Day 4 of the 30 Days, 30 Songs! challenge. This challenge is hosted by Sarah from Art Expeditions.
Woo, Woo.
Sarah’s pick for today is dark — fun, but dark. She has chosen Sympathy for the Devil by the Rolling Stones. Nice. I can work with that. So are you ready for another song, ladies and gentlemen? Let’s take a walk to the edge of town.
It is not too late to join the Challenge. Casual players welcome. Click here to create a pingback to Sarah’s Day 4 post.
Too many songs, so little time.
Kind Regards.
Tracy.

Never heard this before…a wee bit dark, but I love these lines…
You’re one microscopic cog
In his catastrophic plan
Designed and directed by
His red right hand

Nick Cave is brilliant, Sarah. You should check out some of his other songs. I think you would really like his music.

Check out ‘ Into My Arms ‘. I thought I might use that one for the challenge, but when you posted the Stones song, I changed my mind.

Bryan Ferry did a very hard version of this in the ’70s, brilliant!

I thought Nick Cave and his Bad Seeds wrote the song in 1994. Was this another song written around the same premise? Have you got a link, Jenny? I would love to check it out.

Maybe too much trouble with a poor dog who doesn’t feel good. 😦 I hope what’s ahead makes Ama feel better.

😦 I wish I had something helpful to say, but I don’t except I know how heartrending it can be to worry about a dog you love that isn’t doing well and no one knows why, exactly.

Enjoy your long weekend! It is finally warm and sunny here in Montreal. I have been catching up on my blog reading indeed as you noticed and I plan to spend some times in my garden too. Simple life but taking the time to enjoy what’s around us, that to me is what life’s about. Always a pleasure to read you Tracy. 🙂
