Funnily enough, the track stemmed from a conversation between two members while recording their third studio album. “Y.M.C.A” by Village PeopleĪ classic at any 70s-themed club night – “ Y.M.C.A” by the Village People, a disco music group that dominated the late 70s with this track. Many thought the song was about a lover named Daniel, but Taupin cleared up any confusion in a tribute to his and Elton’s 1991 “Two Rooms Album” and explained the true meaning ode – an ode to a soldier returning home to Texas from the Vietnam War. “Daniel” by Elton JohnĮlton John’s lyricist Bernie Taupin claimed that their 1973 song, “ Daniel”, is “the most interpreted song that we’d ever written”. However, Nicks claimed that many of lyrics in the song were not accurate, claiming that some of his accusations “weren’t true”. The English-American rock band never failed to disappoint when it came to their music, and “ Go Your Own Way” is arguably the group’s most popular song, detailing members Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham’s breakup from Buckingham’s perspective. “Go Your Own Way” by Fleetwood Macįleetwood Mac songs always have layers of depth to them when it comes to their core. It has become one of Clapton’s most well-known songs. The track was written during Clapton’s 6-month hiatus after the tragic death of his young son.
Released in 1992, “ Tears in Heaven” by iconic English singer, songwriter and guitarist Eric Clapton is perhaps one of the most heart-breaking songs to exist, and its raw and vulnerable lyrics are what have made it a firm favourite, and deemed to be one of the most notable song stories of all time. The lyrics “every breath you take and every move you make / every bond you break / any step you take / I’ll be watching you” were initially judged to be sweet, soft and loving… until Sting spoke about the track in an interview 1993, stating his concern for the public’s response to the song, claiming that it was never intended to be a positive love song, more of a warning about the darker and possessive side of love and lust. Taking it back to the early 90’s, “ Every Breath You Take” was sung all over the world, happily and without care. And in honour of that, we’re bringing you a series of the greatest song stories of all time.
Now, more than ever before, music has provided us with a chance to retreat from everyday life and its stresses. However, in the past 6 months, music has allowed us all to take a break from the crushing reality that is 2020 as a whole.īetween Covid-19, political leaders being… well, political leaders, and the ever-so-slight feeling of impending doom, music has been something of a saving grace for many. Music has always been a method of escape a gateway into a world that allows us to detach from reality.
