My Crucial Tracks over the last week or so - Kraftwerk, Jaz Elise, Suggs, The Beatles, Elvis, Bethany Eve, and Dickie Goodman

I really enjoy Crucial Tracks. Something about it chimes with the way my brain works, or something

These are the Crucial Tracks for the last few days…..it’s a fairly mainstream set of songs, but none the worse for that !

What's your favorite song about moving forward?

"Autobahn (Live)" by Kraftwerk

Hopefully you only move forwards on an Autobahn...and the song has a feeling of moving along, I think.

I prefer the live version because I like to hear the cheering

"Now And Then" by The Beatles

I didn't listen to this song properly when it came out, but I heard Switched on Pop - The Beatles: "Now and Then" and Forever recently and it made me appreciate the song much more. I found the podcast quite moving in itself.

One of the bits they pointed out was that there is a count of 1-2 at the start, rather than the usual 1-2-3-4….and they suggested that was a reference to the number of remaining Beatles

What's your favorite song about patience?

"Trying to Get to You" by Elvis Presley

I'm not sure if this song constitutes patience, or persistence. Maybe it's a patient persistence?

It’s from Elvis' time at Sun

"Silver" by Bethany Eve

What's a song you'd want to hear while stargazing?

"The Flying Saucer, Pt. 1 (1956)" by Dickie Goodman

I'm not sure how I'd really feel about aliens showing up, but hopefully it would be as much fun as this record
