Day 27: A song from the 10s (deity bonus)

What I love about this song is sure, it mentions God, so yay - it fits the prompt. But the higher power of being a woman who is worthy of worship. Well that's something out of this world. A living, breathing Goddess who knows her worth.

Take Me To Church - Hozier (2013)

Day 26: 00s

George doesn't get enough credit for his work both with and after the Beatles, the man made some incredible music and just happened to be in bands with other musical geniuses (obvs John and Paul, but also with The Traveling Wilburys).

I've been excited to use a song from Brainwashed the whole month (and cool beans we get a lord reference, too). Many would say his best solo effort since All Things Must Pass (his first solo effort after the Beatles), and I'd agree with that.

Released posthumously, the album was finished by his son Dhani and Jeff Lynne using studio time George had booked to finish the album. Dhani knew the sounds George was looking for and was able to complete the album the way George wanted. Brainwashed went Gold in three countries and was well received by critics. Which is incredible considering it'd been 30+ years since the Beatles and 15 since any Harrison solo release. I'll leave with a quote from the AV Club...

"Harrison never seemed to recognize the difference between philosophical profundities and the sound of a catchy song, and that may have been his greatest gift to the world."

Any Road - George Harrison

Thinning for posting this. I normally would not have ever heard or found this song.

It’s catchy.

And the vid is great. I like throwback stuff and old pics.

Oya literally means, "She tore," in Yoruba; she is the orisha of storms. This song is a hypnotic, transcendent devotional and I love it.

Day 27: 10s

I've no idea what gave us Paul McCartney and Kanye West collaborations in the 10s, but it gave us a couple of good songs and Paul's first Top 40 US hit in 25 years (this one). In a perfect world I would've chosen another, but this not only hits the deity bonus in lyric, Kanye believes his late mother was speaking the lyrics to his daughter through him.

Anyway, we're one decade away from all Beatles and all bonus, I didn't think both could happen.

Only One - Kanye West f/ Paul McCartney

It’s ok, I’m going a different direction, because I totally forgot about this one!

Day 28: 20s

I could've went a variety of ways here to really keen into the bonus, but if I play a little fast and loose as we have, this song came to us with 20 years after George passed and 40 years after John yet both are on the record... sounds higher power to be.

Anyway, this track was worked on for the Anthology albums in the 90s, but the vocals were to distorted to include it. George had done done guitar work, but it was left there. Fast forward 25 years and Peter Jackson has developed a way to not only reduce interference (used heavily in his Beatles documentary), but a vocal learning device that could pull John's voice so he could sing some new lyrics written by Paul on the track from beyond the grave. All four Beatles played on this track. Went number one, too. Wild stuff.

Now and Then - The Beatles
