Amazing Songs & Other Delights # 90 – The Turning Light: To The Solstice edition by Raquel Pinheiro @ Yé Yé Radio Monday 15 & 22

The Stone Roses

My radio show Amazing Songs & Other Delights # 90 – The Turning Light: To The Solstice edition is broadcasted Monday 15 December, 3-4pm (London time), repeating Monday December 22 – my birthday – same hour on Yé Yé Radio: yeyeradio.com (or on the app).

In the Northern Hemisphere we’re on the pathway to Winter Solstice, the beginning of the return of the light. We’re also in Hanukkah – the festival of lights – season (sundown of Sunday December 14 to nightfall of Monday December 22). And, of course Yule that coincides with Winter Solstice and Christmas.

Amazing Songs & Other Delights # 90 – The Turning Light: To The Solstice edition begins with the year’s promise, renewal with The Zombies’ This Will Be Our Year, and concludes with The Stone Roses danceable I Am The Resurrection, a welcoming to the turn, the return of the night, as well as an homage to the recently departed Mani.

There’s sunlit songs, there’s Popol Vuh’ Aguirre I (L’Acrime di Rei) with its somber tone, Aztec Camera’s Wall Out To Winter (extended version) is deliberated. It honors the walk, that Winter is a time of going inwards, not to cut short. The two I See The Light – Todd Rundgren’s and Tom Hiddleston singing Hank Williams’ one – add to the sense of clarity, hope.

01: The Zombies – This Will Be Our Year
02: The Altons – Your Light
03: Todd Rundgren – I Saw The Light (2015 remaster)
04: The Offline – La belle en lumière
