Always The Sun~ The Stranglers

I am relaxing after a good day at work and this wonderful song floated into my head:

I love it. I hadn't heard it for a while so I found myself locating and playing it and it is as good as ever!
Enjoy!

Blue Lights~Jorja Smith

I heard this beautiful song while driving home today. I have heard it before but today it really struck me how moving this song is. Any song that can make me feel something, believe what I am being told appeals to me:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYwRsJAPfec

'I  wanna turn those blue lights into strobe lights
Not blue flashing lights, maybe fairy lights
....

Don't you run when you hear the sirens coming
When you hear the sirens coming you'd better not run
'Cause the sirens not coming for you
What have you done? You went to school that day
Was a bit late, but it wasn't Monday
Kept at the class for answering back
You apologized, then you were coming out.....'

Those lyrics have a story attached to them, right there. This is not all the lyrics quoted in their entirety. They are well worth listening to as is Jorja's lovely voice and the music in the background.

It is a beautiful sunny day. I have just driven home and am getting everything ready for the week ahead. Of course I am putting off doing the washing etc and so I started looking at my messages and found one from my son saying I would like this:

I have just listened and he is spot on. This music is perfect for a sunny Sunday....
Enjoy!

Extraordinary Girl~Green Day

I have just written a story that I have published in my Cloud Thought Blog. It is called 'Extraordinary' and is about a girl who has communication difficulties. She loves the band Green Day and uses their lyrics to help her communicate her feelings to her friend James.
This song originally inspired the idea:

I have seen Green Day play in Milton Keynes in 2005. I took my kids. We had a great time.

New Order~ The Village

Continuing the Sunday vibe:

New Order's lyric:
Our love is like the flowers, the rain the sea and the hours.
Could anything be more beautiful?
I love it when pieces of song or poetry float into my head. What a beautiful planet we dwell on bursting with talent and creativity in the past, the present and the future. Let's celebrate this!

Nick Hakim (Perfect for a Sunday morning)

My son sent me a message suggesting I listen to this:

I trust his judgement, and so I did.
I am very glad I took the time to listen to this. It is perfect for a Sunday morning.
I have just been walking the dogs in the sunshine and now that I am back the door is open and I can clearly hear the birds joining in!
Perfection.

Jimmy Eat World~The Middle

I have been playing Jimmy Eat on my car CD. I was stuck in traffic approaching The Dartford Tunnel and sang my little heart out. This got me thinking back to when I took my kids to Milton Keynes to see Greenday and ended up seeing this fabulous band too.
This clip was taken when they performed in 2011 but you get the picture!
Happy festival going to anyone at a festival this summer!
