Beware of The Dog - Kevin Ayers (1973)
Kevin Ayers has died.
A major player in the psychedelic and Canterbury scenes and a co-founder of The Soft Machine, he worked with Messrs. Wyatt, Eno, Cale, Oldfield and Barrett. Aside from his many collaborations, he released a rich series of solo albums.
This track (just under 1:20) from his Bananamour album epitomizes everything that made Ayers’ solo work great: his heavy-lidded and sultry voice, his epic orchestrations, his heavy doses of humor, and his reflections on how indulgence and impairment can lead to spiritual experiences:
I said I feel really happy
Happy as can be
And I’m feeling free
She said you’re not happy
You’re just stoned!
Rest in peace, Kevin. There is loving among us, there is loving.
Prince Of The Southern Empire - Zdeněk Liška (1976)
What’s the minimum a song can be?
This definitely would count as a song, although it’s a short cue from Liška’s score to the surreal Malá Morská Víla, a 1976 retelling of The Little Mermaid. It’s a film that’s bizarre and astounding to behold. The music is no less entrancing.
Heart of the Country - Paul McCartney (2013)
New recording of an old classic, this time with added jangle and harmonica.
It’s all too brief, but were it any longer, it wouldn’t qualify as a shortsong.
Artist: The Residents
Track: Birds in the Trees
Album: The Commercial Album
Year: 1980
This song always makes me think of Duck Hunt

Dawna - Morphine (1993)
This short, moody sax piece sets the stage for one of the most singular and fantastic records ever released.
Sandman & co. create totally unique sound, inventing a new kind of ‘low rock’ by making a power trio that had no lead guitar.
Check out Cure For Pain.
Music Box - Philip Glass (1992)
Philip Glass’ soundtrack is the only thing I’ve really investigated about the film Candyman, but I’ve heard good things otherwise….
Should I investigate it??
