I've Been Waiting For You (Neil Young Song)
"I've Been Waiting for You" is a song written by Neil Young, which he recorded for his 1968 debut solo album. In a song review for AllMusic, critic Matthew Greenwald described it as "One of the most powerful and well-crafted songs from Neil Young's self-titled solo debut... A very strong and engaging melody is set against a striking, descending guitar riff, which serves as the song's hook." Young did not perform the song with Crazy Horse or Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, although he recorded a live solo acoustic version in November 1968, just a few days before the release of the album version. It was later included on the live album ''Sugar Mountain – Live at Canterbury House 1968'', released in 2008. David Bowie, the Pixies (B-side of single "Velouria"), and Dinosaur Jr. (unreleased) have recorded renditions of the song.

Sunday (David Bowie Song)
Sunday is the day of the week between Saturday and Monday. In most Western countries, Sunday is a day of rest and a part of the weekend. For most observant adherents of Christianity, Sunday is observed as the ''Lord's Day'' and the day of Christ's resurrection. The International Organization for Standardization’s ISO 8601 standard recognizes Sunday as the seventh day of the week, Etymology The name "Sunday", the day of the Sun, is derived from Hellenistic astrology, where the seven planets, known in English as Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, the Sun, Venus, Mercury and the Moon, each had an hour of the day assigned to them, and the planet which was regent during the first hour of any day of the week gave its name to that day. During the 1st and 2nd centuries, the week of seven days was introduced into Rome from Egypt, and the Roman names of the planets were given to each successive day. Germanic peoples seem to have adopted the week as a division of time from the Romans, but they c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
