And the correct answers (in case you missed one or two) are:
1. The song by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds is the sixth track on “The Boatman’s Call.” This tranquil yet unsettling album released in 1997 includes this and other emotionally potent songs.
2. David Foster produced Curtis Stigers’ “This Time.” Foster’s touch helped the track chart in the UK, peaking at number 28.
3. Originally recorded by Paul Buskirk and His Little Men with Hugh Nelson, “Night Life” has had many renditions. David Lee Roth’s version is part of this tradition of covers.
4. The chorus of “Kiss Me” by Sixpence None the Richer repeatedly invites a meeting beneath the “milky twilight.” The imagery enhances the song’s dreamy quality.
5. Gloria Estefan’s track “gloria!” was initially intended for Celine Dion. The song later found its home with Estefan, who gave it a dance-pop twist.
6. “Rollercoaster” by Everything But The Girl first appeared on the Rollercoaster EP. This early release included several tracks showcasing the duo’s evolving sound.
7. Snow’s 1993 music video features a snowy landscape, perfectly matching his reggae style. The setting adds an ironic twist to the vibrant genre.
8. Anthony Nance contributed drum programming to “Anytime” by Brian McKnight. His work complemented the track’s smooth R&B and pop elements.
9. Maria McKee’s “I’m Gonna Soothe You” had its music video directed by Julien Temple. Known for his striking visual style, Temple brought the song to life.
10. Dennis Quaid appears in the music video for Bonnie Raitt’s song from “Nick of Time.” His role adds a cinematic flair to Raitt’s musical narrative.
11. The UK CD single of Hue and Cry’s 1991 release included “White Collar” and “Poets Day.” These tracks add depth to the duo’s explorations in pop.
12. Lee Roy Parnell played slide guitar on Mary Chapin Carpenter’s track. This contribution helped earn the song a Grammy and topped the country charts.
