We listen to songs all the time and think we know what they’re about. But do we really? Mick and The Phatman look at songs that have hidden meanings, or it’s not clear what they’re about or, to quote The Princess Bride, “I don’t think it means what you think it means”.
Our “Before You Die” album is “Cosmo’s Factory” by Creedence Clearwater Revival, an album loaded with hits, and talk about why Creedence were (and are still) such a huge band. We also look at the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra performing “Tubular Bells”, with Brian Blessed’s booming voice announcing, “2 slightly distorted guitars”!
