Our first song is "One" by the Bee Gees, their "comeback" record after years in the wilderness of the 80's. In ten years they went from the biggest stars in the world to having their records burned in public to a return to respectability.
Our next song is "Somewhere Down the Crazy River" by Robbie Robertson. Despite the breakup of The Band in the late 70's, it took another ten years for Robertson to record a solo album. The idea for the song came from producer Daniel Lanois who used to listen to Robertson tell these strange stories about the backwoods in his deep voice. The video has a great film noir/Tennessee Williams feel to it, like "Streetcar Named Desire" or "Baby Doll".
