Music Monday: My Favorite Song by Talk Talk
|
“Life’s What You Make It” by Talk Talk from 1986
Almost 3 years ago, over on chillywilly.org blog, I posted the above video
And then in May of 2017 on this blog, I talked up my love for the band Talk Talk. So I thought it was appropriate to celebrate a Music Monday with a new post in My Favorite Song theme.
Favorite Song
The song came out in 1986 on their album “The Colour of Spring” which actually did quite well in the charts worldwide. This song became a hit single in the US, easily joining the two singles that came before it – “It’s My Life” and “Such a Shame”
I recall this song getting played a lot 32 years ago and it’s no wonder why it’s been a favorite of mine since it’s first release. If you’ve not heard it, listen above and I think it’s one that you will add to your list of favorite songs, too.
Another band I know very little about.
You probably know the song “It’s My Life” which was expertly covered by No Doubt.
I love me some Talk Talk. To be honest while Life’s What You Make It was their biggest hit, their The Colour Of Spring album is the one I know the least about. I’m a big fan of the two albums that came before it. I suspect I’m missing out on some gems.
Yes, some great gems on this album. Their sound changed/evolved to some degree, but I like the change.
