Computer World (by Kraftwerk) 
With Deutsche Bank suddenly trending these days in Twitter, Kraftwerk's classic "Computer World" came to mind. Created in 1981, it's kind of amazing to see how well it fits in the world we know today. Enjoy. https://youtu.be/fa7WrCqsTC0 Lyrics: Interpol and Deutsche BankFBI and Scotland YardInterpol...
Roslyn – by Bon Iver & St. Vincent 
Happy Valentine's Day! Say what you will about The Twilight Saga, but it did give us some great tunes. One of my favorites is Roslyn, by Bon Iver & St. Vincent. I'll admit to not really knowing many of the lines to this one (and...

Red Right Hand – by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds 

Lately, I’ve been watching and loving Netflix’s Peaky Blinders. Red Right Hand, by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds is the theme song to the show. Written in 1994, the song was also featured in Guillermo Del Toro’s Hellboy (a perfect fit for such a song) and in Wes Craven’s Scream films.

Lyrics:

Take a little walk to the edge of town
and go across the tracks
Where the viaduct looms,
like a bird of doom
As it shifts and cracks
Where secrets lie in the border fires,
in the humming wires
Hey man, you know
you’re never coming back
Past the square, past the bridge,
past the mills, past the stacks
On a gathering storm comes
a tall handsome man
in a dusty black coat with
a red right hand

He’ll wrap you in his arms,
tell you that you’ve been a good boy
He’ll rekindle all the dreams
it took you a lifetime to destroy
He’ll reach deep into the hole,
heal your shrinking soul,
but there won’t be a single thing
that you can do
He’s a god, he’s a man,
he’s a ghost, he’s a guru
They’re whispering his name
through this disappearing land
But hidden in his coat
is a red right hand

You don’t have no money?
He’ll get you some
You don’t have no car?
He’ll get you one
You don’t have no self-respect,
you feel like an insect
Well don’t you worry buddy,
’cause here he comes
Through the ghettos and the barrio
and the bowery and the slum
A shadow is cast wherever he stands
Stacks of green paper in his
red right hand

You’ll see him in your nightmares,
you’ll see him in your dreams
He’ll appear out of nowhere but
he ain’t what he seems
You’ll see him in your head,
on the TV screen
And hey buddy, I’m warning
you to turn it off
He’s a ghost, he’s a god,
he’s a man, he’s a guru
You’re one microscopic cog
in his catastrophic plan
Designed and directed by
his red right hand
