Comment:
London is my absolutely favourite city, and so many beautiful songs have been written about it, so here they are. Of course, The Jam, The Clash, and the Smiths just have to be on this CD, and all these well known tunes like "The Streets of London" or "Waterloo Sunset". Most are quite obvious London songs, since they either have "London" or a London place name in their title. Yet, sometimes it's the lyrics: "As I did walk by hampstead fair", "Was it really true there are elephants and lions too, in Piccadilly Circus" ("Mother Goose"), "Your mother she's an heiress, owns a block in St. John's Wood", "Now she gets her kicks in Stepney, not in Knightsbridge anymore" ("Play with Fire"), "Do you remember loving on the floor in Belsize Park" ("Kayleigh"). My London soundtrack :)Feedback:
Another fine tribute to a wonderful city.
I like, I like! I'm going to admit right now that I have never been a fan of London, but then I'm just a damn Scot :) In any case, what matters here is the music, which looks excellent - I am especially digging this mix, and, more specifically, the Jam and, of course, the Smiths picks! I always associate Underworld very closely with London for some reason...they wouldn't really fit the rest of the music here, but anyway...nice mix!
