  A haunting intro perfectly brings in the song into a spiritual uplift. It’s a very melodious track with the accompaniment of soothing melodies and welcoming vocals. Phil Wickham’s otherwise dour album, has this track to rely on to somewha...

  Posted on Thursday November 26th, 2009 at 10:06 in contemporary, 80s, featured, caption, cyndi lauper, time after time, 80s retro, brilliant song, memorable hits

  This is a brilliant song by Cyndi Lauper, who churned out a few memorable hits in the 80s. As eccentric as she is, she made an impression on us. I think a few artists have covered this track, but, the original is just miles better. A classic. Cyndi L...

• John Mayer – Heartbreak Warfare

  Five for Fighting’s new album is pretty decent. There are 2 songs that I enjoy listening from their latest album. “Slice” is an interesting story-telling take on being part of the American pie. Thankfully, the lead singer’s na...

  A 1980 hit single by Hall & Oates from their album Voices. The theme is rather cute and the delivery is too. I rate Hall & Oates early works as one of the best bands from the 80s. If you dig 80s music then this one’s for you. DOWNLOAD ...

  “You’ll remember me”, the 3 words that kicks off this legendary song, arguably Sting’s best effort to date. The haunting melodies encourages you to daydream. Everything about this song is perfect – the lyrics, the verses...
