Before I get to today's actual A-Z post, I want to mention that my previous post was my 444th! I like that number. I guess you could say I'm a fan of such harmonious-looking number sequences. Anyway, on with post #445! :)
During April a bunch of bloggers are participating in the A-to-Z blogging challenge of 2013. My theme this year is an A-to-Z list of classic Aussie tunes - either classic or just plain songs I like. Today's letter is "U" (wow, we're up to U already?!), and the super-awesome song I'm featuring is:
This was on the only Church song I'd heard when I bought their album Starfish from a second-hand music store. Thing is, the Church are a bit legendary in Australia, though perhaps in a more "underground" way than a lot of our big names. Still, "Under the Milky Way" got this band some well-deserved recognition beyond the borders of this nation. While a lot of old-school Church fans might prefer earlier albums, Starfish is definitely one of my favourites in my collection. It did take me a while to realise it had more to offer than just this major single. But this sure is a good place to start. (Oh, and the acoustic version is stunning too)
