Music, for me, doesn’t always signify emotion. I tend not to attach things to music – mainly because I fill life with sound (when I can) and so music tends to never mean the same thing twice. The next few days are all very similarly themed (anger/happiness/sadness) and are currently blank in my plan. So, […]
I love many albums for different reasons. The Divine Comedy’s A Short Album About Love is brilliant throughout, each track a delight. Mike Oldfield’s Tubular Bells is great (well, the old side one is anyway – not so keen on part 2). Most of the early Queen albums are good. There are a few Semisonic […]
Again, like a many other songs on this list so far, I don’t really know when this one entered my life. No one in my family knew this song before me, I don’t recall being introduced to it by anyone – it just seemed to appear. This isn’t one of ABBA’s very well known songs, […]
I am a Radio 5 Live kinda guy, and as such don’t listen to a huge amount of music radio – I much prefer being able to control what my ears are exposed to. However, Mrs Pitts doesn’t like 5 Live at all and so, to keep the peace, I often find myself listening to Radio […]
Here’s where I need to be a little tricky. I really can’t think of my song that fits this at all, so I’m going to amend it to a song that you used to hate but now love. This is a song that I never really appreciated fully until recently. The Spanish guitar isn’t Brian […]
This has been a seriously difficult choice. It’s hard to describe yourself anyway, let alone in song form. I’ve decided to choose this one. I hope you agree.
Again, I’m cheating here and posting two – although both a very different in style. The first is The Avalanches’ Frontier Psychiatrist. I could have chosen a few from their Since I Left You album, which is made up entirely of sampled sounds/music – roughly 3500 samples. This was a total departure for me when […]
This is a little unusual, because I can’t narrow this one down. I am going to post two songs that I love. The first is Hanson’s Mmmbop. I think it’s the infectious nature of it, the endless hope that the song encompasses… it’s just happy! The second is one that is more complicated to explain. […]
I was tempted to provide something by U2 here – I’m not keen – or someone else… but then I recalled how my ears were invaded by these chumps as we waited for the main act at a gig recently. Sorry. There are much better on this video than they were in real life, however.
If anyone were to ask me what my favourite band was, without much hesitation, I would say the Divine Comedy. Tonight We Fly, a traditional concert closer, is one of those songs that I will never tire of. Enjoy.
