For as long as I’ve been on the radio, and definitely for as long as I’ve been writing a blog, I will occasionally make a reference to a song being “One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded!” (GSER)
I would usually follow that by saying that I would eventually start a category for it, but then never get around to it.
Well, now I’m getting around to it!
My radio show, “Theme Attic,” is on Wednesdays 12PM-4PM ET.
The show can be heard on WHFR 89.3 FM in the Dearborn-Detroit area of Michigan, or it can be streamed with this link: https://www.whfr.fm/streamer/!
The Greatest Songs will pretty much follow the pattern of The Most Awesomest Song of the Day.
I’ll select a song to celebrate and then give my thoughts about it. Nothing really brand new here that hasn’t been done before. But since I have a website, I can collect them and lay out what my own greatest songs are.
Here’s a link to have a look at “The Greatest Songs Ever Recorded”: https://philmaq.com/the-greatest-songs-ever-recorded/! Occasionally, an “awesome song” crosses over to become a “Greatest Song!”
Even though I always emphasize new music and artists, it’s always fun to take a short drive through the legendary artists, since they influenced those other artists!
But a song doesn’t have to be old or done by a legendary Theme Attic Hall of Fame member to be thus honored.
I can think of several songs that are only a few years old or less that I could identify as One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded.
This will be fun, and hopefully you will join me on my journey!

Detroit area and multi Philby Award winning artist, Nick Piunti, has been making pop/rock gems for many years now!
“Heart Stops Beating” from his “Beyond the Static” album is one of his best!
From the muted string guitar intro, to the thumping bass drum simulated heartbeat as the song ends, the song winds its way through a broken romance tale where the woman has her fingers around some poor guy’s heart.
It’s a tale full of crashing cymbals and loads of hand claps!
“Heart” has a catchy melody with a great sing-a-long call and response chorus!
My favorite section is the instrumental keyboards break!
The phrase is just fine on its own, but it gets a harmony line on the second pass through, and lifts the solo and the song to a higher level!
The song is arranged so well that it becomes a perfect piece of art!
I love it!
One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded is “Heart Stops Beating” by Nick Piunti!!!
