Dream Wife ~ Hey Heartbreaker

I was driving home when Greg James played this song on Radio One. I really like it. Apparently the band formed as part of a Uni project and afterwards everyone realised they are good enough to really become a band which is what they did.
Have a listen. There is more of their stuff on You Tube if you want to hear more.
In this bonkers world it makes me happy to come across people who make music!!

The Proclaimers~500 Miles

I watched Two Doors Down and in this episode they ended up singing 500 Miles. It has been going round and round in my head ever since!

The Fall~ There's a Ghost In My House

I am so sorry to hear that Mark E Smith of The Fall has passed away.
The Fall were so original, there is no other band like them.

Marc Almond~ I Who Never


I was singing this song to myself today. The words are very moving. I loved this song when I first heard it. I hadn't heard it for ages so I put that right today!

Knifeworld High/Aflame

On Saturday night G took me and two of our friends to The Lexington. I have a soft spot for that venue as I saw my son's band play there last year.
This time we went to see Knifeworld. They are a great band. Their music is so original. The first half of the evening was their acoustic set and after a break it was a very lively performance.
The play some beautiful instruments and their timing is just great!

Tom Walker~ Leave A Light On



I love this song. It is just so filled with compassion. The lyrics are incredible. 

" If you look into the distance, there's a house upon the hill
Guiding like a lighthouse to a place where you'll be
Safe to feel at grace 'cause we've all made mistakes
If you've lost your way...."

It is so important that people receive the help and support they need to turn their lives around when they are ready.
