Yet another wind related song. It's got to be that banshee/colleen from Croydon: Kate Bush.
I spend many an hour watching Kate from Hammersmith back in the late seventies or was it the eighties?
Have any been lucky enough to see her live?
Kate was only 18 when she penned and sang and danced her Magnum Opus of a Rock Classic.
Any guesses?
Another wind themed song. This one's by that English American super band Fleetwood Mac.
They are commercially successful like NYLON (New York, London) joint laboratory collaboration.
I nearly got to see Fleetwood Mac in Dublin a few years ago until I looked on a ticket site and noticed they wanted 150 Euros per ticket.
I hope all these wind themed songs isn't attracting the Autumn gales to our shores? Storm Ciaran is supposed to hit land and cause floods on Wednesday evening.
Driving around the Peninsula today we noticed that everywhere is green and verdant after all the rain. You can see why Ireland is called the Emerald Isle. We even saw a whale frolicking about in Dunmanus Bay.
Another wind themed song tomorrow.
They played the King Crimson song "I Talk To The Wind". It was a very good cover.
King Crimson are one Prog Rock band I would have loved to have seen live.
I have seen Robert Fripp play with his wife Toyah at Cropredy 2022, Greg Lake with ELP at Manchester Apollo in the late eighties and David Cross at Loreley in Germany in 2017. But I never saw King Crimson in their entirety.
I can think of another song that refers to the wind for tomorrow.
Rush, April Wine, Saga and of course Neil Young are just a few of my favourite Canadian Rockers.
Here's Neil Young singing: "You Are Like A Hurricane".
I love this song.
The Mission. A great English Goth rock band also covered the very song. I have seen them a couple of times and they are excellent like their cover of this song:
Yet another wind themed song tomorrow.
"Catch The Wind" was made famous by Scottish singer Donovan.
I saw him at Glastonbury music festival in 1989 and I have seen him walking about here in West Cork or even North Cork even, where he now resides.
The song is about unrequited love. Even about his future wife who he met a year after he wrote this song perhaps?
A timeless folk classic me thinks!I bet YP gets this wind themed song in a milli second?
Robert Zimmerman and two lads from the Rolling Stones at Live Aid. Have you heard their new album Hackney Diamonds? It's brilliant.
So what is 'Blowin In The Wind' about? "What's it all about Alfie?" That was a hit for Cilla Black.
Is it a kite, it's staring us in the face..? Answers on a postcard or in the comments box please!
Only 44 wind theme songs to go. I am joking, I think?
"Wind Of Change" by the Scorpions is another Rock song with a wind theme.
It was written/wrote after the fall of the Berlin wall and the probable end of Communism?
This however no longer seems to be the case and there is a war in Europe with Russia and Ukraine.
The Scorpions are one of my favourite Heavy Rock bands from Germany.
I once saw them at Birmingham NEC and I have seen former members Uli John Roth (Kent 2019) and Michael Schenker(Ballyshannon May/June Bank holiday 2023) in recent times.
I have met German tourists in the Algarve and when they say they come from Germany I have said: "I have seen The Scorpions". They usually reply: "Yah I have heard of them" and normally that's the end of the conversation. 🙂
Not forgetting "Rock You Like A Hurricane". Another hit record for The Scorpions. Apparently the definition of a hurricane is a wind that is faster than 75 miles per hour. I never knew that did you?
They are a great band. Enjoy the song:
Anyone like The Scorpions?
I found this fantastic video on good old You Tube recently. It features ex Genesis axe man😀 even guitar genius: Mr Steve Hackett and his ...
