Weekend Playlist: Pause

Weekend Playlist: Pause

Here's the weekend playlist created by Benny with help from guest curator Chris F looking at X/twitter selections (19/09/2024) with Songs that reference or have pauses.
This was inspired by the release of INXS' "Need you tonight" released on Sep 21, 1987 which features a pause towards the end of the song after Michael Hutchene sings "I'm lonely"
