Friday Night Jukebox, Vol. DLXXXVII--Badfinger: Day After Day
And even though it all went wrong, I'll stand before the Lord of Song...and still be (six days) late again....
[Back to back days--twice as nice!]
I don't remember my introduction to this week's tune, but being a child of the seventies it's likely it was from some AOR radio station sometime during my teen years. As is, it's one of those songs that just stays with you through the years and you're nothing but the happier for it having remained so....
Of all the bands I've featured on Friday Night Jukebox, Badfinger quite easily has the saddest bio of any featured artist. Starting out as the Iveys in Swansea, Wales in 1961, they labored playing cover songs in gigs across the U.K. before signing to the Beatles Apple Records in 1968. After a slow start, Paul McCartney wrote and produced their first hit. After another hit, George Harrison produced their next song, and it went on to be the best selling of their career. A fourth (minor) hit, as well as some session work on a Harrison solo project, and it looked like they were primed for rock and roll stardom. Sadly, along the way and thereafter, very little went right. The dissolution of Apple Records left them with legal issues that for a time prevented touring and signing a new contract. They signed an epically bad deal with a manager who turned out to be swindling them, and as one might expect, infighting further damaged the band's psyche. Triggered in part by their financial issues, lead singer and guitarist Pete Ham committed suicide in 1975. Also a victim in part because of their financial ruin, bassist Tom Evans committed suicide as well in 1983. For all intents and purposes Badfinger was done at that point, though remaining original members Mike Gibbins (drums) and Joey Molland (guitar) would continue in various incarnations until their deaths in 2005 (Gibbins, brain aneurysm) and 2025 (Molland, complications from diabetes). For their all too short career, the band released (several of these were after the fact) ten studio albums, three live albums, four compilations, and fourteen singles (with three top tens in both their native U.K. and the U.S. They sold over fourteen million records and are considered one of the progenitors of (emaycee fave!) power pop.
Fun Fact: The band's name comes from the working title--"Bad Finger Boogie"--of the Beatles' hit "With a Little Help from My Friends." It was originally called such because John Lennon had an injured finger as he played piano on the song.
"Day After Day" was the first single released from their 1971 album, the rather vertically entitled Straight Up. The single would hit #4 (with a bullet!) in America and #10 in Great Britain; it was also their only gold single. The album reached #31 in America, but for some odd-ass reason, Wikipedia makes no mention of its charting in the U.K.
"Day After Day" is a power pop ballad, driven by inspired vocals from Pete Ham, otherworldly harmonies from the band, and some magnificent slide guitar by George Harrison. Upfront it's a song about missing the one you love, but in the end it's a song about how love can save us from loneliness and make us whole. It's another in a long line of fine seventies songs that line the pantheon of Friday Night Jukebox, and for me, another reminder just how wondrous power pop can be.
Lyric Sheet: "Looking out from my lonely room, day after day/Bring it home, baby, make it soon/I give my love to you..."

Friday Night Jukebox, Vol. DLXXXVI--George Ezra: Budapest
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind, the answer is...that I'm (twelve days) late again....
My introduction to this week's tune came when I wrote about the one song I knew by this week's artist. On a whim I gave one of his bigger hits mentioned in Wikipedia a listen, and it was kismet--I fell in love with it immediately. On a side note, I now know two songs by this week's artist....
I wrote about George Ezra in Vol. CDXLVII, in 2023, and according to Wikipedia he has done nothing musically or in the entertainment realm in the last approximately three years. Don't ever remember that happening for an artist still pretty much in his prime, but one of the many things I've learned in my many years is that there's a first time for almost everything....
"Budapest" was the second single from Ezra's 2013 debut album, with the rather well-travelled title Wanted on Voyage. The song hit #3 in the U.K., #32 (with a bullet!) in the U.S., and #1 in Austria, New Zealand, and Slovenia (so many cool kids...around the world!). The album reached #1 in Great Britain, #19 in America, and crashed the top ten in nine other nations.
Fun Fact: Ezra was a big fan of Paddington Bear when he was young, and on Paddington's suitcase was a sticker that said "Wanted on Voyage"--thus the title for this week's album. Back in the day when people travelled by ship to other countries, they would put stickers with "Wanted on Voyage" on their luggage so that it would remain with them rather than go in the cargo hold. As Ezra did a lot of travelling around Europe as he was writing songs for his debut album, he thought it a fitting title.
No matter how hard I try, I'm not going to be able to do justice to this week's tune. Ezra has stated that he used the first three chords he was taught on guitar for the song (so much to be said for simplicity), and that it was his first attempt at writing a love song (resounding success). Lyrically, Ezra takes a man who has everything but would be willing to throw it all away for her love, riches and family be damned--and does it with lyrics that are not your standard love song fare. His vocals are transcendent--he has these odd inflections that take the song to unforeseen heights, and his "you-ooh, you-ooh" is absolutely to die for. Musically it's as catchy of a piece of pop pie as you'll ever hear, and it stays in your head and your soul and fills in the beautiful blanks in your day. Just a wonderful pop ballad--as good of a song as I've heard in the last ten years.
Lyric Sheet: "My acres of land/That I've achieved/It may be hard for you/To stop and believe/But for you/Ooh, you/Ooh, I'd leave it all..."
Enjoy:
Fuck Donald Trump

Friday Night Jukebox, Vol. DLXXXV--Sting: All This Time
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met, it's a big enough umbrella but it's always me...that's (JFC--lucky--thirteen days!) late again....
A few years back I was cooking dinner and listening to my favorites playlist on my Ipod when this week's artist came on, and I thought, "Why do I have this guy on here? I don't even like him that much." Fast forward a couple of years when I, on a whim, threw his greatest hits into the CD player in the car...and promptly listened to it with joy for the next three months. Who knows? I've also wondered a time or two how the hell I missed this week's tune since it was released at a time when I was still very much in the music business, but one supposes it's because the world is just full of so many wonders....
As I was doing my half-assed research on Sting, it dawned on me how much musically he was like his fellow countryman Elvis Costello--the man has literally done everything. From his time with the Police (wrote about in Vol. CCXLIII) to his lengthy solo career, Sting has played numerous genres of music, collaborated with numerous artists from numerous genres, worked on numerous soundtracks and even had a musical (The Last Ship) based on his work for which he wrote the music and lyrics. He's won seventeen Grammys, three Brit Awards, an Emmy, and been nominated for four Academy Awards and a Tony Award. He's also been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (as a member of the Police) and the Songwriters Hall of Fame (kind of surprised that he hasn't been inducted as a solo artist in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame....). He's also acted in numerous movies and had twenty-one world tours. For his solo career, Sting has released fifteen solo albums (with ten top ten albums in the U.S., and seven in his native U.K.), six live albums, seven compilations, and fifty-one singles (five top ten's in American, two in Great Britain). And for the cherry on top, he's been involved in too many causes and charities to name, is a devotee of chess, and actually was a teacher for two years before rock and roll stardom beckoned. All of which begs the question: JFC, what the hell have I done with my life?
Fun Fact: Sting uses so much imagery in this week's tune that many people have asked if he got them from of a dream. Nope--they're just recollections from his childhood in Wallsend, England.
"All This Time" was the first single from his 1991 album, the rather philosophically entitled The Soul Cages. The song would hit #5 (with a bullet!) in the United States (and #1 in Canada--so many cool kids North of the Border!). The album would reach #2 here in the States while striking gold in the U.K. and hitting the #1 spot.
It's been within the last five years that I discovered this song, and I really couldn't name too many songs I've heard in the last few years that I enjoyed as much as I enjoyed this one. While doing my half-assed research, I discovered that Sting likes to pair upbeat lyrics with sad songs, and such is the case with "All This Time" (the song is actually about the death of his father from cancer--sadly, he lost both of his parents to cancer within a couple of years of each other). Musically, it's catchy as all hell, with the chorus being a sweet piece of pop pie. Sting's lyrics are phenomenal--one supposes one of the many benefits of his college education. And thematically? Every father should be so lucky to have such a wondrous song written about him. Lest I forget, the oh--ee--yo's that close out the song are downright dynamite, too. I'm not sure I have enough superlatives for this week's tune--just a wonderful, wonderful song (one of my favorite lyrics, too--see below).
Lyric Sheet: "All this time the river flowed/Endlessly like a silent tear/All this time the river flowed/Father, if Jesus exists then how come he never lives here?"
Enjoy:
