Celestial Videos: Echosmith, Nanci Griffith, and David Bowie!!!

Surprisingly, one of my favorite songs AND videos for this year is Echosmith’s very sweet, “Bright.” The song contains many celestial observations and is probably the best song about young love since “Kiss Me” by Sixpence None the Richer! Doe eyed lead singer Sydney Sierota’s breathy vocal makes the song totally believable:

The first song and performance by Nanci Griffith [Hall of Fame] that I ever heard was “Once in a Very Blue Moon,” [a Favorite song of all time], and I have liked her ever since! The song is about a failed relationship that gets remembered every “blue moon.” Celestially speaking, that occurs about every two and a half years or so. One of those happens this Friday, and I look forward to playing this song every time. Here is an early clip of Nanci singing the song pretty much the way I saw her singing it the first time.:

David Bowie has a couple of new box sets on his early years ready for release so this new video of David Bowie singing “Space Oddity” has surfaced. There aren’t too many professions that are as exciting as being an astronaut as well as being the scariest and loneliest!

Tune in to today’s show at 10A EDT for more celestial songs!
