Because It's Tuesday - week of April 4

It's a short week around here (and hopefully around where you are too). I'm not feeling super chatty but wanted to make a post anyway. I'll keep this brief (I can almost hear you saying "yay").

Today's cover song (I always share a cover on Tuesdays) was written for the Righteous Brothers. The song never made it them because Frankie Valli first. He released it as a single in 1965. It was kind of a dud for him. The Walker Brothers released their version a year later, which was a huge hit.

The song of the day is "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore." It's been covered by many artists over the years. The version I'm sharing today was released in 2019 by The Explorers Club. You can pick up your very own copy it from their bandcamp page. It's their homage to the great Scott Walker.

I hope you give it a listen, I love their sound, and they did a terrific job with it.

Have a good Tuesday, kiddos xo

Emptiness is the place you're in

There's nothing to lose but no more to win

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore

The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky

The tears are always clouding your eyes

When you're without love

because it's Tuesday - week of March 27

"The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore" was a song that always caught my ear when I was a kid.  Most likely, it was the Walker Brothers version that did it but I actually don't know.  I just remember it being an earworm for me when I was a little girl.  Still is but it's okay, it's an awesome song to get stuck into you brain.

I've become quite fond of Keane's version of the song.  Again, this isn't an official video for the song but rather a bunch of clips of the band put together by a fan but you can get the idea.  Hope you enjoy it and if gets stuck in your head for a day or so, well, you're welcome xo
