Sister (Pick Word #11)

This is the first part of The Family Tree series which collects songs about family members. I chose to start with the sister, the female sibling in a family. A lot of stories were written about the relationships between brothers and sisters, such as The Sisters by James Joyce. You can find here below five songs that deals with sisters by Ed Harcourt, Tindersticks, Depeche Mode, Lou Rhodes and This Mortal Coil.

Ed Harcourt - Sister Renee (Taken From From Every Sphere, 2003)

This Mortal Coil - You And Your Sister (Taken From Blood, 1991)

Tindersticks - My Sister (Taken From Tindersticks Second Album, 1995)

Depeche Mode - Sister Of Night (Taken From Ultra, 1997)

Lou Rhodes - Sister Moon (Taken From Bloom, 2007)

Balloon (Pick Word #7)

After a long hiatus, I'm getting back to some lists about special issues. Today's issue is Balloon, which is part of Museum Of Flight series. The rubber balloon which most of us know, was invented by Michael Faraday in 1824 after a few successful experiments. Since that invention, we can watch a lot of balloon releases, especially on Political celebrations or sports events. I've chosen five songs about balloons by Wendy & Lisa, The Kills, Tim Hardin, The Civil Wars and Goo Goo Dolls, enjoy!

1) Wendy & Lisa - Balloon (Taken from White Flags Of Winter Chimneys, 2008)

2) The Kills - Black Balloon (Taken from Midnight Boom, 2008)

3) Tim Hardin - Red Balloon (Taken from Tim Hardin 2, 1967)

 

4) The Civil Wars - Girl With The Red Balloon (Taken from Barton Hollow, 2011)

5) Goo Goo Dolls - Black Balloon (Taken from Dizzy Up The Girl, 1998)
