Blondie, 50 years ago.


50 years ago, at CBGBs on August 15, 1975, Debbie Harry (then 30 years old) and her punk band Blondie, performed this concert presenting a cover of Velvet Underground's "Femme Fatale".
I also included in this selection the following song, "Lullaby". This song was remade later with other lyrics and renamed "Just Go Away". It was included in Blondie's third studio album "Parallel Lines", released on September 8, 1978.

apple of my eye, take 2


"Apple of my eye": something or someone that one cherishes above all others.


"Apple of my eye", a 2007 song by Dolores O'Riordan (from the band Cranberries), here, performing it live in London and in Paris, 2007.


As the days go by
The apple of my eye
I'll always wait for you

And as a new day dawns
The darkness moves away
And I will wait for you

Remember remember
The face of you
Surrender Surrender
The touch of you

Well it's a hard to hold
The room is turning cold
The candles flickers still

And what I would not do
For the love of you
Would you hold on to me?

...
I will remember, I will remember the face of you
I will remember, I will remember the touch of you

apple of my eye, take 1


"Apple of my eye": something or someone that one cherishes above all others.


"Apple of my eye", a 2001 song by Ed Harcourt, here, performing it live in 2017 and 2024.


When you're on your own
You walk in the rain
You walk around the house
Then walk around it again
You pretend you're happy
That you've got it all
But don't be upset
If you fall on your knees
And beg like a dog

I've reached a low,
Don't you know
You're the apple of my eye
I'm running low, with this show
No matter how I try
I'm sick of this angst,
Don't need thanks
You're the apple of my eye

I drink a lot of wine
When I am alone
I lose my track of time
My ideas turn to stone
I pretend I'm sad
That I'm still so small
But I'm not upset If
I fall on my knees
And beg like a dog

I've reached a low,
Don't you know
You're the apple of my eye
I'm running low, with this show
No matter how I try
I'm sick of this angst,
Don't need thanks
You're the apple of my eye
