Song title: Take Me Back
Artist: GL
Year: 2014
Why I like this song:
The Eighties synthesizers are strong with this one.
But it works! It's funky and the production is indeed impressive. Talk about going all out...

Why I like this song:
Who is my favorite female singer? Hope Sandoval. No contest
She has a voice like no one before or since. It is engaging and hits you right between the eyes - in the feels. Seriously, I defy anyone to listen to this and not go weak at the knees.

Song title: I'll Be Gone
Artist: Spectrum
Year: 1971
Why I like this song:
19670s Hippy/Progressive rock Australia style
One for all the drifters and losers in life, on the path to nowhere but somehow finding enjoyment in it/
Spectrum have an odd place in Australian rock history: On one hand they had a long and productive career but on the other, they had this one hit and were subsequently reduced to One Hit Wonder status. Still if their career was boiled down to this one hit then it's one to be proud of.

Song title: Kiri
Artist: Monoral
Year: 2006
Why I like this song:
Haven't seen much of Ergo Proxy but boy did it have a killer opening. It rocks hard and I swear that singer is a dead ringer for Iva Davies of Icehouse.

Song title: Somebody's Talking
Artist: Preatures
Year: 2014
Why I like this song:
The promise of This is How You Feel is reached. It's energetic and I love those harmonies in the chorus.
Somehow, listening to this and a smile is guaranteed. Some songs just do that you know?

Song title: Perfect Picture
Artist: I Know Leopard
Year: 2014
Why I like this song:
It's certainly is an exhilarating listen that's for sure. In fact one would think this was custom made for any summertime playlist. It certainly has that impression.
Also is that a violin in there?
*checks YouTube*
So it is! Well a summer song with a violin is certainly a unique one.

Song title: Horses
Artist: Sam Wright
Year: 2015
Why I like this song:
Makes the grade purely because it has a really funny chorus:
"Why would I love you? / You're a girl who likes horses / And I don't like horses / I think no one should trust them..."
