5 on Friday -- Set 309





Spinning Friday tunes since 2010...


Hope your St. Patrick's Day celebrations were filled with friends and laughter!

Mine was quiet and at home, as is usually the case. Last year marked the first time that I ever spent it out with friends -- my high school choir friends Shelley and Maureen (Maureen being in town from British Columbia at the time.)




We headed out to an Irish pub-style restaurant in our neighborhood complete with live music and a great crowd. Although we knew a snowstorm was brewing, and reserved our table early so we could get off the roads before they got too bad, no one knew that Snowmageddon was forming overhead, ready to dump 50 centimeters (nearly two feet) of the white stuff overnight.

As a bonus track, here's a song recorded at The Old Triangle, an Irish pub in Halifax that was packed with St. Patrick's Day revellers beginning early in the morning and lasting well into the night -- featuring Evans and Doherty




Right on schedule, a bit of snow fell this St. Patrick's Day, but it was a mere dusting. Nothing over which to worry our pretty heads.

For this week's set, let's go to the Emerald Isle.

5 on Friday - Set 60


Welcome to Day 1 of the A to Z Challenge.

Day 1 of course launches with the letter A.





Fridays at A Piece of My Mind means music. I take part in a musical meme called 5 on Friday, where Travis at Trav's Thoughts invites everyone to lay down a short set of music that takes their fancies.











Kick back, settle in and enjoy five tunes that start with the letter A.

1 - April Fools - Rufus Wainwright

Well, life's a train
That goes from February on
Day by day
But it's making a stop
On
April first

And you will believe in love
And all that it's supposed to be
But just until
The fish start to smell
And you're struck down
By a hammer


- Rufus Wainwright



2 - Analyse - The Cranberries

Don't analyse
Don't analyse
Don't go that way
Don't lead that way
That would paralyse
Your evolution


- Dolores O'Riordan



3 - Apocalypse Please - Muse

Proclaim eternal victory
Come on and change
The course of history
And pull us through
And pull us through
And this is the end
This is the end of the world


- Matthew Bellamy



4 - Across the Universe - The Beatles

Images of broken light
Which dance before me like a million eyes
They call me on and on
Across the universe

Thoughts meander
Like a restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly
As they make their way
Across the universe


- Lennon / McCartney



5 - Ashes to Ashes - David Bowie

They got a message from the Action Man
I'm happy
Hope you're happy, too
I've loved
All I've needed to love
Sordid details following

Ashes to ashes
Funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low


- David Bowie
