It’s that magical, mystical season right now. For our fellow Tribesmen (we claim inclusion in The Tribe by Conjugality!), it’s Chag Sameacha (Samecha!) Pesacha (Pesacha!). For our fellow Roman Catholics (we are lapsed, yet we have had indoctrination in The Church through Baptism, Penance & Holy Communion), it’s Holy Week. And for our fellow man of every other persuasion (of which we also are members by virtue of respiring), it’s simply springtime, at least here in the Northern Hemisphere. Worship who & what you want, but please don’t harm, in the name of your deity or their cause, anyone just because they are different from you. That said, as always during the Xian Holy Week, we are here to remind you to enjoy listening to the album most evocative of this time of year, The Greatest Album Ever Made, Ocean Rain by Echo & The Bunnymen. The track is the video lede is the manic-yet-wary ‘Crystal Days’.
Of course, for tomorrow, Maundy Thursday, it has to be the epic track called ‘The Killing Moon’, with ‘Thorn of Crowns’ to follow on Good Friday. For the Saturday interlude, it’s ‘Seven Seas’, with the climactic-but-resigned title track ‘Ocean Rain’ closing out the week on Easter Sunday. Top songs for your springtime season. Cheers!
