Your Afternoon Musical Interlude
On this day, let us be reminded of Samuel Leonard Tilley’s suggestion for Canada’s official name, the Dominion of Canada:
He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
Sorry, we’re not allowed to quote from the Bible anymore.
Okay, let us be reminded of Canada’s great explorers …
Right. They’re “colonisers” … or something.
No worries. We’ll merely start off with the man who invented Canada …
Sh–. We can’t do that, either.
Screw it.
Here’s some Debbie Harry:
Bonnie Tyler’s classic hits 1bn streams – but singer reveals it ‘makes nothing’
With her instantly recognisable gravelly-voice and big, blonde hair, Gaynor Hopkins became an international sensation as Bonnie Tyler with her 80s hit, Total Eclipse of the Heart.
43 years on, and the song has cemented its place as one of the most famous power ballads of all time by surpassing a billion streams on Spotify.
But despite joining Taylor Swift, The Weekend and Eminem in the exclusive one billion club, Neath-born Tyler says that she’s made “about nothing” in revenue from the classic track.
Nope never understood the video and all of Jim Steinman’s song are 8 minutes long.
Just something different for a snow day.

The Song is considered to be one of the most difficult arias ever written for a soprano. And yet she makes it look so easy, and with such power. And she was only 17 years old when she performed it.pic.twitter.com/SwYlXx68TY
