Waking Up

Lisa Stansfield's "Live Together" fuses late-’80s polish with house grooves, while Midnight Oil’s "Blue Sky Mine" pairs an upbeat melody with sharp activism. The Charlatans’ "Can’t Get Out of Bed" layers jangly urgency over morning musings, and Elastica’s "Waking Up" claws into Britpop with sharp riffs and playful rebellion. Simply Red’s "For Your Babies" delivers heartfelt sincerity, and Jah Wobble’s "Visions of You," with Sinéad O'Connor, explores hypnotic global sounds. Jimmy Nail’s "Big River" reflects industrial resilience, while Deana Carter’s "Angel Without A Prayer" keeps it country with tender simplicity.
