Radio LBB: Everything the Life Was Worth, the Fallen Snow, the Virgin Birth

Ten songs of brilliance, all with a lyric or a line which tells the whole story, pricks the whole of your conscience or floors you - "your daddy loves, I said your daddy loves you, he just doesn't want to live with us" to the string arrangement in Eleanor Rigby, heartfelt searching, from The National & Nick Drake. The desolate smoke-room jazz drift from The Clash and into the rational of a suicide bomber by Talking Heads.

How lucky are we to have ears!
