    Song 2 S.5 Ep.21: Jolly - Bad Omens, 06/01/2026

    "I truly believe that an album is a journey that needs to flow from first song to the last" Bad Omen’s are having a bit of a renaissance at present with new music being drip fed and a new album touted for release in 2026, we caught up with Jolly from the band some time back – the full interview is available on RTL Play, on demand so get onto that after finishing up here. Jolly has some fantastic points on Song 2, unfortunately none of them support the theory… at all, but Jolly’s take on track-listing is a terrific listen. So go ahead and check it out. Joll of Bad Omen’s on the Song 2 theory….

    Song 2 - S.5 Ep.20: Pink Floyd - Breathe (In The Air), 29/12/2025

    Now, The Dark Side of the Moon really doesn’t need an introduction but let’s give it one anyway... Released in 1973, it was the band’s eighth studio album and the one that took them from underground cult favourites to global superstardom. Before that, Pink Floyd had spent the late 60s experimenting with long psychedelic jams and, yeah a fair bit of chemical inspiration which earned them a loyal following but not exactly mass appeal.

    Song 2 - S.5 Ep.19: Paolo Nutini - Last Request, 26/12/2025

    This week we are looking at Scottish musician Paolo Nutini, and his mega-smash Last Request. Now, Paolo Nutini released his debut album These Streets in 2006, an instant hit which shot up the UK Albums chart, only to be topped by his next album Sunny side up which went straight to number one. The song Last Request was the second tune on his debut and became a fan favourite immediately, receiving tons of global acclaim. It’s a sweet song inspired by his relationship with his then girlfriend Teri Brogan, which became one of the defining songs of his career.

    Song 2: S.5 Ep.18 - 23.12.25 : Skin - Skunk Anansie, 23/12/2025

    "I always give an album 3 songs. If you're not into an album by track 3, then your switching off" Another one that we've had on the back burners for a little while. Skin is a fascinating character - check out the full interview (on demand) via RTL Play. Since this interview was recorded, SA have been in Luxembourg a couple of times and the band show no signs of slowing down. Skin is categorically NOT a Song 2 believer. But does take the view that artist front load their records with the best stuff.

    Song 2: S.5 Ep.15 - 27.11.25: Otis Pavlovic - Royel Otis, 27/11/2025

    "It depends on the album, but I'd say the 1st song is most important, for the 2nd one, you need to back it up. For Hickey, it was more about the first" Check out the full interview with Otis on The Lunchbox AND on-demand via RTL Play. Here though Otis tells us about the band's track listing and whether or not he agrees with our rather muddled theory....

    Song 2: S.5 Ep.14 - 12.11.25 - Elton John: I'm Still Standing, 12/11/2025

    What a tune this is.... For many of us, the song I’m still standing is up there as one of the best songs of all time, with the best music video too. I mean the video is over 40 years old and I can still picture the beach, the sunglasses and hats, all of it. But if you’re having trouble remembering, we’ll go back to the start.
