#1 Catherine Wheel - Crank (plus Intro)

Archived in the category: popup plus
Posted by Kristen Meyers on 27 Feb 09 -

This is the first in a new series I am going to be uploading on this channel.

It seems such a cliche, but music really has been an essential key to my life. From the highs, the lows, and the grey areas in between there has always been a song that’ll contemplate my mental state.

I felt that it was time to actually involve something I am at least INTERESTED in to share with you all. On my PC I have a list of songs that come under the title ‘Favourite Songs of All Time’. These songs are the elite. They are the classic. The timeless. The everlasting. They are the records that remain fresh yet so dense with meaning that they continue to shape my life in some way.

I am going to be covering each of these songs with their very own video, accompanied by an intro video where I give you a small introduction to the artist. During the playing of the song I pop up little factoids about the song and artist with a slight comic twist, purely because we can’t be oh so serious all of the time!

The songs will appear in no particular order (believe me, trying to order my favourite songs would be an impossible task!) but this is the first one that I am going to present to you. Enjoy.

I absolutely adore catherine wheel. Or ‘The’ catherine wheel as they became for their last album. Great great songs indeed, (also glad I’ve found a fan of them too!) though this song is the one that gets to me the most :)

Catherine Wheel is …
Catherine Wheel is completely embedded within me. One of the greatest bands. Though they do have a thing for elevators and hallways, not leaving far from home with grannies dancing around and sheeps walking by…. almost feels like Ive stepped into a wmt dream (shutter) scary. They did manage to make it out of the house… though they didnt get very far plunging to their deaths in the waydown video..either this band is completely insane or just pure genius, probably both. Flower to Hide, amazing
