The Most Awesomest Song of the Day: “Cruel World” by Seattle Jazz Artist Billy Brandt with The Thing and Stuff Band!!! the

I have started a new feature: The Most Awesomest Song of the Day!

I want to emphasize mostly, relatively newer music, just like on my Monday night show, “Prime Time Theme Attic.” (Monday nights 8PM-10PM ET when it returns.)

Here’s the link for when that day comes: http://rdo.fm/r/4qntu )

But I can promise this: I will not force my selections. If something doesn’t hit me, I won’t post one.

Everything I do has always been about shining a spotlight on the artist and their music.

Now I will have the potential to shine 365 more spotlights if I want to!

Today I would like to shine a spotlight on one of my current Faves songs because I think it deserves it!

I feel that this song may not be getting the listens it deserves because its title sounds like it’s a negative song.

Not true.

One of the reasons I mentioned why I started “The Most Awesomest Song of the Day” category, was because some of the lyrics in the songs that I listen to seem to be taking on different meanings in the world situation today.

“Cruel World” by multiple Seattle Jazz artist, Billy Brandt, from his “Get It Going” album, is one of those songs.

It starts talking about how tough the world is, but then switches to a positive message:

“In this cruel world/You can’t avoid the hurt/

In this cruel world/You are the flower or the dirt/  

But there’s Love/Above and below/

And it’s Love/That makes that flower grow” 

Billy always keeps “Love” and the “children” in mind because it will be their world soon enough so they need to be taught which is more important!

And he does all of this against a funky/jazz beat with insanely incredible sax solos!

Nice keyboards, too!

I am happy to announce The Most Awesomest Song of the Day is “Cruel World” by Seattle Jazz Artist Billy Brandt with The Thing and Stuff Band!!!
