Sometimes I wonder what prehistoric people thought when they saw the northern lights looked so much brighter on their phones. They must have thought it was just magic.

Did we really need another version of Gordon Lightfoot’s 1976 epic? Maybe not, but Jeremy Messersmith needed to get his adaptation out of his head by today, a story that exemplifies the song’s lasting “all-consuming” power.

Gordon Lightfoot wasn’t sure about “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.” He recorded it only when the sessions for his album Summertime Dream finished a day and a half early.
His new drummer, Barry Keane, had never played the song before.
That first take is the one that appears on the album.

‘Take On Me’ has been stuck in our heads for 40 years. Here’s how it got there.
“Take On Me,” the 1980s synth-pop hit song from the band A-ha, marks 40 years of global ubiquity even while personal disputes have chilled the Norwegian trio.
