Songs that Matter

We are all so used to listening to the disposable, committee written pop hits played on other less discriminating stations, that we sometimes forget that some songs have changed the way we think, act and feel.

There are probably no more than a hundred of these and you will be familiar with most of them. Today I’ll play a couple of my favourites and some that deserve to be in this category but haven’t changes sufficient minds. Yet.

Playlist:

Hour One

Sam Cooke – A Change is Gonna Come (Ain’t That Good News 1964)

I'm someone who doesn't like parameters, barriers or fences. I'll try and climb over them, burrow under them or just pretend they don't exist - until they don't. Sometimes I'll write about the mind in a poetic way, or poetry with neural undertones, or I'll proselytise endlessly about my favourite new band - or one of the old ones. My Blog will give you the keys to the kingdom. A kingdom with no borders, no expectations and, therefore, no failure.. Because I am endlessly empathetic with people, their motivation, their behaviour,their problems and their quest for knowledge, I work with the pioneering Brighton-based homeless, vulnerable women and disempowered school students charity Off The Fence Trust that has tried to redress the equality deficit for over two decades. I produce, host and promote two radio shows a week: The Whole Nine Yards Sundays 3-5pm on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM (www.midsussexradio.co.uk/listen) - and Lost Immortals on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM on Sundays 5-7pm.
