      He just put out a "50th Anniversary" version of his greatest hits today, with these songs redone this year. Living Years is a lot more choir focused. A lot of the others were from the original greatest hits, like tempted I think is the 2012 version of it. But all in all I think there are 8 or 9 2024 versions of songs on there and it sounds pretty damn good. Highly recommend checking it out. Was a good 1hr+ of my morning today. :)

    This never gets old. Here's a nugget I've recently learned and will leave here for those who don't know: Paul Carrack wrote and sang How Long (has this been going on). It was a one-hitter from the band Ace. And it wasn't about an affair, it was about their bass player gigging with other bands behind their backs. 😄 Of course he also sang for Mike + The Mechanics. So if you like his voice, check all that out.

    What makes this song so good is the complex chord structure. There's some pretty way out chords in this that work so well as a sequence in combination with the bass line.

    • @ruthespiritu502

      For a normal unmusical person who can't figure out a chord progression it doesn't feel "complex". Just one of those few songs that is 11 on a scale from 0 to 10.
