3. A Day in the Life
allegedly the first part of A day in the life is about the untimely death of the heir to the Guinness fortune and a friend of the Beatles, the record was banned by the Beeb but not for this reason The BBC announced that it would not broadcast the song due to the line "I'd love to turn you on", which, according to the corporation, advocated drug use.
a song from this was used in a banned Guinness commercial

Day 2 - The Thrill is Gone
Frank Sinatra - In the Wee Small Hours
According to Wikipedia “King's favorite singer was Frank Sinatra. In his autobiography, he spoke about how he was a "Sinatra nut" and how he went to bed every night listening to Sinatra's classic album In the Wee Small Hours.”

Fun Fact. The Frankie I posted above this is named after Sinatra.

Day 3
A Day in the Life
@mcherry I struggled with this one too. Partially because A Day in The Life is my absolute favorite song. It’s the perfect collaboration by the greatest song writing duo ever.
Ultimately, I decided to go with the intimacy of the concept of A Day in the Life.
I was always able to write my way out
The song always made sense to me
Now I find when I look down
Every page is empty
Florence Welch has never shied away from the intimate or the personal. However, there is a vulnerability that runs through this album, certainly a side effect of the isolation of the pandemic, that wasn’t present on an album level before. Sure songs like Hunger were vulnerable but not entire albums. It feels like she has laid herself bare to us, both in song and visuals (the videos and album photos are the most outwardly witchy of her work to date.)
I absolutely love this album and am still convinced she is the greatest singer we currently have.

Day 3 - A Day In the Life
Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly
“A Day in the Life” is one of the greatest closing tracks of all time! Decided to go with an album with another incredible closing track. “Mortal Man” is such a perfect way to end this album that I feel I have to earn it to listen to it lol, if I didn’t listen to the rest of the album deeply enough then I don’t deserve to hear the Tupac ending

Neil Young + Stray Gators - Tuscaloosa
“A Day In the Life” is about the internal and external lives we all live. Lennons verse is internal, it’s about the bigger things and how they effect us, while Macca’s verse is about what is actually happening, it’s a list of thing that he did on that day, not necessarily any different than any other routine day. Most people need to find a healthy balance between these two parts to find some level of contentment. I feel like Neil has been chasing that balance his entire life. He can write a song about a friend overdosing or the imminent destruction of humanity due to war or pollution or he can write a song about dancing or his old car.

3. A Day in the Life...of the Dead
I thought a bit of an inversion would be a nice way to interpret this. When life is no longer about living and the days just blur together. The daily news of catastrophes, and our uninterrupted routines as the beat goes on.

2. The Thrill is Gone
Shpongle – Tales Of The Inexpressible
The electronic party/rave scene was never really my thing until I moved to Victoria at age 25 and sort of stumbled into it. I started going to parties more for the people who were also going and the colourful costumes/decoration than the music itself. The parties I tended to favour at first were psytrance parties but I didn't really figure out what that meant until about six to nine months later. What really drove me deeper into the music was a weekly event another friend held at a yoga studio a block away from my downtown apartment where my broke hippie ass helped haul his gear up to the third-floor studio every week in exchange for free admission. Shpongle was definitely my fiercest favourite of all the new sounds I was hearing (it would be another couple of months before I'd piece together the fact that the same producer, as Hallucinogen, was also responsible for "Gamma Goblins" - my favourite track from the psytrance parties I'd been to!) From here, I jumped into the scene pretty hard, got way more into the music and wound up rockin' the CDJs pretty steadily myself ("Around The World In A Tea Daze" from this album was one of my staple go-to tracks) for four or five years until dubstep and dispersal of a few key members of the community radically changed up the vibe of the regional scene. Between that and really starting to notice and feel a severe lack of diversity and the incredible abundance of privilege and entitlement within that particular community I found myself shifting further and further away from the events and many of the people. I still love a lot of the music (though I haven't really followed the latest releases beyond a very small handful of artists for years now) and a very solid handful of really good friends I made along the way, some of whom still play and put on events. Besides two or three events or gatherings in the past twelve years, though, it's very much safe to say the thrill is gone.

Day 4: Three Little Birds
The Sugarcubes - Life's Too Good
No worries, every little thing is going to be alright, birds singing on the doorstep. I see the song as observing the positive things around you, cause life's too good!
