Subject: ANY JANUARY SONGS? From: GeoffLawes Date: 29 Jan 21 - 06:23 PM
-Joe Offer-
Can you suggest any songs associated with the month of January? That is : (A) Any songs with January in the title (B) Any songs with a January date given in the lyrics (C) Any songs referencing an event that is known to have occurred in January even if the lyrics do not actually say so.
Directly below is an alphabetical index of the titles collected in this thread. If a title in this index is blue then by clicking it you should be jumped to the section of the thread in which most of the discussion and links for that title occur. If you just want to add a new post to this thread use the “Post to this Thread” button to jump to the end of the thread. I shall sometimes rearrange “late” posts to group them with their appropriate main area of discussion so that they are not overlooked.

Subject: RE: Any January Songs? From: GerryM Date: 29 Jan 21 - 11:48 PM JUNE IN JANUARY is a popular song with music by Ralph Rainger and lyrics by Leo Robin, published in 1934. Bing Crosby June In January The song was introduced in the movie Here Is My Heart by Bing Crosby in 1934. The Crosby recording, made on November 9, 1934 with Georgie Stoll and his Orchestra, became a number #1 hit on Decca Records and has since has become a popular standard, recorded by many artists. Crosby recorded the song again for his 1954 album Bing: A Musical Autobiography and this version was heard alongside an image of a Crosby lookalike in the film The Joker Is Wild (1957), starring Frank Sinatra. Crosby recorded it again in 1977 for his final album Seasons. So sayeth Wikipedia. Harry Roy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lN_6P509Dw |

Subject: RE: Any January Songs? From: Helen Date: 30 Jan 21 - 02:08 AM I did a search for song: JANUARY and a whole bunch of songs came up but the one I was looking for is an old pop song called January by a group called Pilot. January - Pilot I'm not recommending it because it was annoying back in the '70's so I can't imagine it has improved with age. :-D Also, 26 January is the anniversary of the white invasion of Australia, i.e. the arrival of Captain Cook. The beginning of the end of the real life and culture for the First Nations people here. I'll have to think about whether I know any songs about it. I can't recall any at present. |

Subject: RE: Any January Songs? From: Allan Conn Date: 30 Jan 21 - 06:54 AM Helen I was going to suggest "January" too. I rather like both that and Pilot's other big hit "Magic" which has been taken up as a football chant in many a football ground. Saying that I don't mind out and out pop songs and I was only a kid at the time of its release which maybe explains why I like it. The pop songs of our childhood tend to stick with us through time - though I either like a song or not without regard to the genre! Both members of Pilot had been in the teeny-bop group Bay City Rollers but left to form Pilot before the Rollers were catapulted to teeny stardom. Though the song "January" did hit #1 in the UK charts before their former group managed to do that. Both members of Pilot then went on to work with Alan Parsons Project. For a song more suited to mudcat how about RANTIN' ROVIN' ROBIN by Burns which mentions the month of his birhday in verse one. Thanks Allan Conn. - Here's a recording: Jim Malcolm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2PyL-CarPA Lyrics http://www.robertburns.org/works/65.shtml |

Oh the taller that the country grows???

Subject: RE: Any January Songs? From: GUEST,henryp Date: 04 Feb 21 - 06:28 AM ROLL DOWN TO RIO By Rudyard Kipling Roll down to Rio (Mainly Norfolk) This poem accompanied Rudyard Kipling's story The Beginning of the Armadillos from his book Just So Stories. Peter Bellamy sang it as Roll Down to Rio, accompanying himself on concertina, on his fourth album of songs set to Kipling's poems, Keep on Kipling. Dave Webber and Anni Fentiman sang Follow Me 'Ome and Roll Down to Rio in 1998 on their CD Bonnet & Shawl. Jon Boden sang Rolling Down to Rio as the 10 February 2011 entry of his project A Folk Song a Day. The Young'uns sang Rolling Down to Rio in 2012 on their CD When Our Grandfathers Said No. They commented in their liner notes: Rolling Down to Rio appeared in The Beginning of the Armadillos, one of Kipling's Just So Stories, and was given this lovely tune by Peter Bellamy. I've never sailed the Amazon, And I've never reached Brazil; But the Don and Magdelana, They can go there when they will! Yes, weekly from Southampton, Great steamers, white and gold, Go rolling down to Rio (Roll down—roll down to Rio!) And I'd like to roll to Rio Some day before I'm old! Portuguese landed on the soil of Guanabara Bay on the1st January 1502. The bay forms the opening of a river, hence the name ‘Rio de Janeiro’ which means ‘River of January’.

Subject: RE: Any January Songs? From: Levana Taylor Date: 03 Dec 21 - 02:33 PM January 13, 1864: Death of Stephen Foster. Larry Kaplan wrote, in the introduction to his song "Dear Friends and Gentle Hearts," "Stephen Foster was only thirty-eight years old when he died, impoverished and alone, in New York City. In his pocket at the time of his death was a small piece of paper containing the first few lyrics of, perhaps, his next song. Foster lived and wrote music in a time when America as a nation was desperately trying to define (or redefine) its own identity, a time of intense nationalism, and yet a time of civil war. Perhaps more than any other popular musician of his time, he helped to shape some of that identity." DEAR FRIENDS AND GENTLE HEARTS by Larry Kaplan Down at Bellevue Hospital, Out on those nameless wards, Tonight a young man passed away Alone, without a word. Brought there from a boarding house On the Bowery downtown, And on his bed a list of things The nurses there had found. A coat, a hat, his pants, a vest, And a beat-up pair of shoes, And, in his pocket, signed by him, A dollar I.O.U.; And a slip of folded paper Torn off from a paper bag: The first words of another song This whole world might have had. CHORUS (after each verse): "Dear friends and gentle hearts ... " Wherever your last songs may be, Are they lost out in America Between the centuries? Are the melodies still waiting For the ones who need to hear, Though the piano halls and minstrel shows Have faded through the years? Well, the hospital had sent for me, But no more would they do, My name and address taken from Poor Stephen's I.O.U. They said "He's just a vagabond; So many more like him. They spend the last few cents they have On poor man's rum and gin. But hard times in America Are hard times for us all. Some folks bide for better days; Some must take the fall. Some can turn to poetry, Or lose themselves in song; Some set out to change the world, Then lose the path they're on. So, yes, I knew this gentleman; Perhaps you've heard the cheers When Mr. Foster graced this country's Finest halls for years. And he led us in the choruses This whole great nation knew, But he never recognized his worth Or what his songs could do. Now pride brought down by poverty Is such a tragic thing; No matter who the man may be, It steals most precious things. It takes the faith to know yourself; It robs the will to try. But, if it spares your poetry The music never dies. Though we seek mirth and beauty, and music light and gay, There are frail forms fainting at the door. Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say, "Oh, hard times, come again no more." YouTube |
