According to the saying, a good day shows from morning. But also, a good morning is made by good songs.1. In The Morning – The Coral
(James Skelly)
The first single from the third album by the British, The Invisible Invasion (2005), marked a turnaround of their sound towards clearly more plain instrumentation and a little less "craze". The result was for them to be much more frequently aired.
2. Morning Song – Jewel
(Jewel)
A song from Jewel Kilcher's super successful debut, Pieces Of You (1995). An acoustic ballad in the songwriter's familiar style, before it turned to more mainstream pop paths.
3. Wednesday Morning, 3 Α.Μ. – Simon & Garfunkel
(Paul Simon)
The debut by the famous American duet was released in 1964 and closed with – and was named after – this acoustic diamond. It may sound unbelievable, but at first the album failed and it took two years for it to climb to Billboard charts.
4. Meet Me In The Morning – Bob Dylan
(Bob Dylan)
This track opens the second side of the great Blood On The Tracks, released in 1975. It is one of the few moments with the sound of electric guitar in a mostly acoustic album.
5. Velvet Morning – The Verve
(Richard Ashcroft)
Urban Hymns (1997) is the coronet of The Verve way up and contains many great songs that became singles and met great success. One of the less famous songs is this really atmospheric epic track with the drugged vocals by crazy-Ashcroft floating over the "spacious" sound of the band.
6. Every Monday Morning Comes – Suede
(Brett Anderson-Richard Oakes)
Here we have the b-side of the single Trash from the album Coming Up (1996). Bernard Butler being absent, many Suede songs are co-signed now by his young replacement, Richard Oakes. This beautiful song can be found in the compilation Sci-Fi Lullabies (1997).
7. Good Morning Good Morning – The Beatles(John Lennon-Paul McCartney)
Lennon took inspiration for this song from a TV ad of Kellog’s Corn Flakes and enriched the lyrics with another TV reference, to the sequel Meet The Wife. The recording contains a lot of wind instruments and voices of various animals when closing. It is included in the marginal Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967).
8. Good Morning Judge – 10cc
(Eric Stewart-Graham Gouldman)
The album Deceptive Bends was released in 1977 and found 10cc as a duet, after the Godley and Creme left the previous year. This relatively short funk track opens that album.
9. Morning Glory – Oasis
(Noel Gallagher)
This song, with references to drugs, as well as to the Beatles, was written under intoxication and comes from the second album by the Oasis, (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? (1995). It was released as a single in Australia and the US (in the latter only for radio use).
10. All On A Misty Morning – Paul Weller
(Paul Weller)
We close in a loose atmosphere with an acoustic song by the Modfather. Look for it in As Is Now (2005) and remember to note our date for next Friday!
