The Most Awesomest Song of the Day Is “There Is No Way” by Annie Bacon!!!

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

Here’s a link to the complete list: https://philmaq.com/most-awesomest-songs/

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!

Let’s go local for today.

Well, sorta local.

Singer/songwriter Annie Bacon relocated here from California and has been welcomed into the local music scene.

I’m sure that people that have been to her shows probably didn’t even know that.

Annie joins a growing group of relocated artists to Southeast Michigan that make the state  even richer in talent!

That makes her local to me!

She once told me that she may be a distant relative of Sir Francis Bacon, best known for the Scientific Method.

I’m sure that her ancestral link helps in Annie‘s approach to songwriting.

She is very adept at mining emotional details.

Today’s selection is from her 2019 Philby Award winning album, “Nothing Stays the Same.”

It’s a song that, on the surface, makes you want to dance to its quirky stop and go rhythm, and sing along.

But underneath, the lyrics tell a different story.

So it works on several levels.

I can immediately think of two songs that work that way: “Happy Together” by The Turtles and “Every Breath You Take” by Sting. There are thousands more.

The listener is the one that chooses how deep they want to go.

Call me shallow if you want, but today I choose to dance to The Most Awesomest Song of the Day: “There Is No Way” by Annie Bacon + Her Ocean!!! (A Whistlepig Records release–a label with a talented roster and one of the cutest logos!)
