The masterful music theory trick that saved The Beatles song ‘Yesterday’

I’ll open this article with a big statement: ‘Yesterday’ is the greatest song ever written. You can keep your ‘Purple Rain’ and ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ and all that nonsense. When those songs were written, Prince and Queen were clearly actively trying to make the best song ever written, but the same can’t be said for Paul […]

When whispers spread that the band wouldn’t play, guests leaned in — confused, concerned. It was Jimmy Page’s daughter’s wedding, and something felt… unfinished. Then, without a word, Robert Plant stepped forward. No spotlight. No speech. Just him, barefoot in the grass, holding decades of history in his hands.

Every lyric hung heavy, as if carried on the breath of memories no one dared speak aloud. This wasn’t just a song — it was a lifetime, whispered in melody. Plant didn’t steal the moment.

Absolutely not, and he’d be the first person to tell you […]

Five forgotten songs that outsold The Beatles in the 1960s

As much as some people would very much like you to believe otherwise, the 1960s weren’t just the decade of The Beatles. It also wasn’t simply “the decade of famous music” either. People weren’t just bopping along to The Beach Boys and The Fabs in the early part of the decade, The Stones and The […]

The album Ringo Starr called his musical biography: “What my life is about”

The number-one rule of any good songwriter is always about writing what you know. Most listeners can see through someone who’s dishonest within the first few seconds of any song, so anyone even thinking about lying through their teeth in songs is normally in for an uphill battle when people don’t believe a word they […]
