The Who: Yann Tiersen The Why: The song is about two people, presumably a couple, watching the world around them burn from the relative safety of their island across the sea.

The Who: Erin Bowman The Why: What’s your favorite summertime memory? For Erin Bowman, it’s about “Hot days barbecuing in the backyard / Cool nights when you’re hitting on the lifeguard” and a slew of other memories set to jingly-jangly pop.

So sit back, watch your eyes and try not to spill any “Coffee and Wine.” The […]
The Who: Jeremy and The Harlequins The Why: Can’t really go wrong with handclaps and happy guitars. “Cam Girl” takes us back to bubble gum and lollipop times, when rock n’ roll was an infectious three chord progression that made you bounce and feel good. You’re welcome. The Where: Follow @jeremyharlequin or visit the official website.
The Who: Lewis Watson The Why: This British singer/songwriter has a surprisingly mature voice despite his years.
