Cipő és a Lány - Gyere közelebb, menekülj el

The title means "Come closer, run away". 

Szeleczky Zita - Távolból

This is a very old song cover of one of the poems of Sándor Petőfi, a very famous Hungarian poet who lived in the 18th century. This poem brings up a lot of childhood memories for me.

Mark Knopfler - Restless Farewell

A great Bob Dylan cover from Mark Knopfler.

Chris Rea - On The Beach

This single was in hot roation on VH1 in 1986 (one year after the network launched), which helped it become Rea's biggest hit in the United States since "Fool If You Think It's Over." It remains a favorite song of his fans.

Volbeat - A Warrior's Call

This Beyond Hell/Above Heaven track is dedicated to Danish boxing champion Mikkel Kessler. He also provides vocals on the tune.

Speaking to EspyRock in a 2010 interview, vocalist Michael Poulsen explained: "Mikkel is the biggest boxer in Denmark and he was in this tournament called the 'Super Six Tournament' and he needed a song. He had been to some of the Volbeat shows and I had been to some of his fights, so we just started talking and I said, 'You know, you need a good song when you're walking to the ring,' and he said, 'Yeah, if you can come up with something good, let's work on it.'"

"I had this idea for 'A Warriors Call' and Mikkel really liked it, so we were in the studio and we had him sing on the part 'Fight Fight Fight' and now he is walking into the ring with that song," Poulson continued. "I'm really proud of that since I'm a big boxing fan and a boxing fanatic and my father was also an old fighter. Every day, the first thing I do in the morning is load up the computer and go to FightNews.com."

 

 

Rise Against - Satellite

Rise Against have never been afraid to provoke with their lyrics, and this song finds vocalist Tim McIlrath crying: "We can't feel the heat until you hold your hand over the flame / You have to cross the line just to know where it lays / You never know your worth until you take a hit / And you won't find the beat until you lose yourself in it." McIlrath told Spin magazine: "For a band that has always been against popular opinion and been thrown into the world of popular music — it goes without saying our opinions will ruffle feathers."

Chris Rea - Josephine

"Josephine" is one of the most popular and the most successful songs by Chris Rea, released in 1985 on the Shamrock Diaries. "Josephine" was written by Rea for his daughter of the same name. Rea would later pay the same compliment to his youngest daughter, Julia, on the album Espresso Logic (1993).
The song enjoyed popularity on the Balearic beat scene in the 1980s^.

Chris Cagle - Got My Country On

The song's music video was directed by Marcel and filmed on location at the Cagle family's "Big Horse Ranch" in Marietta, Oklahoma and at a boisterous tour stop at Billy Bob's in Fort Worth. The clip illustrates to viewers how Cagle gets his country on: by performing his loud, self proclaimed "redneck rock 'n roll" and by getting some serious work done maintaining his impressive Oklahoma homestead.

Nickelback - Bottoms Up

Surprisingly the band found it more challenging penning drinking songs like this one for Here and Now, rather than the pro-social tunes such as "When We Stand Together." "It's a drinking anthem. I mean, it's harder to write those songs than it is to write those social-awareness type songs, it really is," Kroeger admitted to MTV News. "Because for us, they've got to be good. Some of the stuff's got to be a little tongue-in-cheek, there's got to be some clever stuff there, you know, and you've got to be descriptive. But when you get done listening to it, you need to have the feeling of just wanting to grab a bottle of Jack. And I think we got there, because we'd bring friends over all the time and it was just like, 'You are now a test subject! Hit play; turn it up nice and loud.' And the song's over and they'd be like, 'I want to drink. I want to drink something right now.' And we were like 'Yes!'"

Bob Dylan - Duquesne Whistle

The bluesy song refers to the Duquesne (pronounced doo-kayne) train service that used to run between New York Penn and Pittsburgh Penn Stations, which was named after the eighteenth century Fort Duquesne in the latter city. That route is now served by the daily Amtrack Pennsylvanian service. The lyrics show Dylan's distaste at times a changing'. "Listen to that Duquesne whistle blowing," he demands. "Blowing like it's gonna sweep my world away."

Billy Talent - Viking Death March

This is a live music video compiled from live footage that was shot during the band's performances at the Rock am Ring festival in Nürburg, Germany on June 2 2012, and at the Melkweg in Amsterdam, Netherlands on June 6 2012. 

Ben Folds Five - Draw A Crowd

In 2011, Ben Folds Five reunited to record three tracks for Ben Folds' The Best Imitation of Myself: A Retrospective. Bolstered by the experience, the band reconvened in Folds' Nashville studio and recorded a new album over a six-week period between January and February 2012.

Badly Drawn Boy - I'll Keep The Things You Throw Away

Badly Drawn Boy made the soundtrack for Being Flynn, this is the best song from the album.
