February Song: "Here Comes the Sun" by George Harrison

02/02/12
Editor’s note: This song was written by Harrison after having gone through a lot of difficulties in 1969. I’ve often found myself in the position during dark times to remind myself the sun will rise again. My favorite version, shown here, is Richie Havens recorded in 1974.
 
Favorite lyric: “And I say it’s all right”

January Song: "When You Say Nothing at All" by Alison Krauss

01/01/12

Editor's Note: Seems like a good month for a love song. My son and his wife played this at their wedding and I liked it but for reasons that are even a bit deeper. To me, the greatest service to others is without words and the most effective evangelism is non-verbal. How nice that Krauss finds a way to say the same thing about love.

Favorite lyric: "I could never explain what I hear when you don't say a thing"

December Song: For What It's Worth, by Buffalo Springfield

12/01/11


Editor’s Note:  In keeping with the Pinker research cited in this month's case study, I'd like to think that the spreading of the message of non-violence through the emergence of ubiquitous media has caused our world to become more peaceful.  This message was conveyed early in my life in this song by a band of rock pioneers who went onto commercial success in other bands.

 Lyric:  "Everybody look what's going down."
