You’re the first…

At last! Last week it ws all about firsts, this week we are featuring lasts. The final thing. The ultimate. Last nights, last children, last time and last chances. Get them here, if its the last thing you do.   The post The last… appeared first on Living in the 70s.

For the first time on our little show we are featuring songs all about firsts! First cuts, first times, first things. Firsts are worth celebrating, so why not do it in a song.   The post You’re the first… appeared first on Living in the 70s.

Dreams are mysterious. So is sleep. Why do they happen? What exactly is going on? We don’t really know the full story. But that mystery makes for great story telling. We dream of love, we dream big, we day dream, we talk in our sleep. So much going on. On this weeks show we explore songs from the Seventies, plumbing the mysteries of dreams and sleep.   The post To sleep, perchance to dream appeared first on Living in the 70s.

Cars, trains and automobiles. This week’s show is all about forms of transport. We’ve got peace trains, midnight trains, pushbikes and other vehicles, all immortalised in Seventies songs.   The post Move me, baby appeared first on Living in the 70s.

What’s in a name? Some are remembered, some fade into obscurity, but if you really want your name to last, get a famous band or artists to immortalise it in a song!   The post What did you call me? appeared first on Living in the 70s.

It’s that time of year again – everybody’s stocktaking, couunting their profits and losses and getting ready to file their tax returns. Well if you’re burning the midnight oil balancing the books, we’ve got the playlist for you! The post It’s all about the money, honey appeared first on Living in the 70s.

It’s another themeless week – just a colleciton of tunes we’re enjoying. We hope you do too The post Another mix of our picks appeared first on Living in the 70s.

This week we decided not to have a theme, but we have ended up with a bit of a groovy feel anyway, with a dash of heavy rock. It’s a pretty classic Seventies mix! The post Heavy on the groove appeared first on Living in the 70s.

On this weeks show we are exploring more of those brilliant singer songwriters of the Seventies. Folks who compose and sing their own songs, some playing thier own instruments.  Some are are confessional troubadours, some are more interested in other genres, but all of them contribute something special and uniquely their own. The post More singer songwriters appeared first on Living in the 70s.

Where would we be without nature?  It nurtures us, it restores us, it even heals us. Life would be pretty sad indeed without the awe and wonder of the natural world, the feelings of sun on our skin and rain on our faces and cool breezes lifting our hair, the salt tang of the sea and the bright clean air of the mountains. Many songwriters have been moved to write songs about the wonders of nature. The Seventies also saw the beginnings of serious concerns about the negative impact humans have on the natural world, concerns shared by many songwriters. But more than this, nature is of course a wonderful metaphor;  the joy of the sun, the sorrow of a cloudy day. The post Natural wonder appeared first on Living in the 70s.
