It’s #AlternateFridayMusic and the prompt is
#ThatStripedSunshineSound and I thought of a perfect song for it. Dark lyrics over a happy sound

Striped Sunshine from Humble Pie - 30 Days In The Hole

I've got another play for the #AlternateFridayMusic prompt of #ThatStripedSunshineSound. (This one also wins my #CarRadio contest for today. 😁)

Shine - Collective Soul
I noticed there were a number of stripes in the video.

The #AlternateFridayMusic cue this week is: #ThatStripedSunlightSound

A pop sounding song that lyrically is about death, loss, hurt, and saying goodbye while reflecting on life's joys (seasons in the sun).

Terry Jacks - Seasons in the Sun

It’s #AlternateFridayMusic and the prompt is
#ThatStripedSunshineSound

I had to think about what the prompt means for a minute but came up with something that causes striped sunlight. Venetian blinds!😂

Happy Friday ... I can't believe how fast it got here. It's #AlternateFridayMusic day, and the prompt is #ThatStripedSunshineSound.

Sunshine - Earth, Wind & Fire

I don't know if it's striped, but the sunshine in this song is "heavenly" (I imagine God rays coming down from the clouds, like in paintings).

And, to be very loose and metaphorical, maybe the backup vocal harmonies and the call & response and the short horn bursts all "stripe" the melody.

This song just never stops moving -- and it lifts off towards heaven around 3:21.

(I gather that the song title the prompt is based on is actually #ThatStripedSunlightSound -- not sunshine)

#AlternateFridayMusic for June 19 2026 the theme is "That striped sunlight sound"

Artist: Madness
Album: Keep Moving (1984)
Song: The Sun And The Rain

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_9FeMMlLZw

Okay, the song itself is mostly about rain, but it's a cheerful song about the rain making him cheer up, and the sound of the song itself is pretty bright and sunny, so I'm gonna stand by it. Plus it's a cute video that features a cameo from a giant ear sculpture...is this the same one that showed up in the Stranglers' "No Mercy", or in Tom Petty's "Make It Better (Forget About Me)"? Run on giant ear videos around that time...

I was originally going to finish with Head Full of Steam which has amazing lines like "she plays hard to get, along with" but it's Friday! and what better weekend vibe is there than:

The Go-Betweens - Surfing Magazines

https://youtu.be/m_dYciEMniQ

This song manages to drip with so many feels for a dune rat from Sydney like me. The video also includes many, many familiar sights from my youth. Yet while the song touches on what in other hands would be cringey nostalgia, they manage to imbue this song instead with a celebratory feeling, that striped sunlight sound:

🎶 We used to get our kicks
Reading surfing magazines
Some good looking people
Wearing Lee Cooper jeans
They're breaking on the headland
They're breaking on the shore
And when you're living in Hawaii
They're breaking at your door

We used to wet our fingers
On surfing magazines
Going to throw school
And follow those scenes
Going to get a Kombi
And go from beach to beach
Be the kind of people
The Authorities can't reach

We used to get our kicks
Reading surfing magazines
Wake up in the morning
And the waves are clean
Standing on the headland
Taking in the scene
Just like they do it
In surfing magazines 🎶
