Song #67

Wellerman by Nathan Evans

It was released on January 21, 2021

Fun Fact: Known as “Soon May the Wellerman Come” or “The Wellerman,” the sea shanty from New Zealand dates back to 1860. A long song with lots of lyrics, the song likely provided a great deal of meaning and accompaniment to long days in the country as shore whalers hunted their giant sea mammals for flesh and oil. The title of the song is a reference to supply ships owned by the Weller brothers, who were some of the earliest European settlers of the Otago region of New Zealand. In 2021, Nathan Evans earned a viral hit on  TikTok for his cover of this song.

#Song 76

Nobody’s Fool by Cinderella

This song was released in 1986 in their album Night Songs

Fun fact: Tom Keifer (vocals) described the song as a "song for the falling out of love experience." He added, "And I would say that was not written for any one particular person. I'd been through that several times prior to writing that song. A lot of times, the emotions of songs are cumulative. That's not one particular experience, but the culmination of many."

So I know mod gremlin likes David Bowie and if mod secret likes him too then she can answer this question too. What is your favourite David Bowie personas?? Mine is probably Halloween Jack or The Thin White Duke!!

Well mod secret doesn’t really listen to David Bowie, and well that’s a tough question. I’m going to have to go with Ziggy Stardust, Halloween jack and Aladdin Sane!!

Song #69

Soldier, Poet, King by The Oh Hellos

It was released on October 16, 2015

Fun Fact: The soldier embodies an undying fight for justice and truth, while the poet epitomizes the beauty of emotions, words and sentiments. The king is the embodiment of righteousness, leader of all the virtues, and defender of integrity. The song’s lyrics come directly from The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis. It speaks of how faith gives us strength, reminding us that we don't have to choose between being soldiers for justice or being poets. Instead, it is a call to be both. With faith and moral courage we can do hard things, bringing justice and beauty into this world. (this isn't a confirmed meaning but best I could find- Mod Secret)

Song #70

Keep Your Eye On The Money by Mötley Crüe

It was released in 1985 in their album Theatre Of Pain

Fun fact: This track saw Nikki Sixx (the bassist) hinting at serious self-reflection, with lines such as "Comedy and tragedy, entertainment or death" and "dancing on the blade" as "the crowd screams on for more" perhaps being reflections on the excesses of the previous two years
