A walk in the shoes of the barefoot sub
When trying to think of a song that moves me forward I couldn't quite get my head around what that meant. But Kiss with a fist by Florence and The Machine is a song which I often sing when I'm running, the lyrics and beat just drive me on. Perhaps it is rather fitting that it... Continue Reading →
Every year my brother creates me a CD for Christmas. Songs which he has really enjoyed throughout the year, and which he also feels will be enjoyable for me. He has tried to find songs with my name in and I was planning on using one of those, but Hey There Delilah, by The Plain White T's makes me... Continue Reading →
As it's Mad Friday I thought I'd hop on the reindeer boob band wagon for #Boobday. My sprinkling of holiday cheer. To see what others are up to pop on over to #Boobday.
The lyrics of What did for the Dinosaurs - The Bevis Frond seem pretty obvious upon first listening. The dark and cynical meanderings of a post-psychedelic man. But listen again! I find that it depends on my mood how I will take this tune. The music and lyrics can take me in different directions, depending on what... Continue Reading →
Tim Minchin is an absolute genius who can have me laughing until the tears roll down my cheeks, but he always makes me think. If you really loved me is no exception... I laugh because it is true! I would be upset if my future partner didn't want to video me while I pee. And I have... Continue Reading →
Born in 1982 I'm spoilt for choice of quality tunes, but Hall and Oates' song Maneater was released 2 weeks before I popped out, and hit the number one spot less than two weeks later. I have a particular soft spot for it, and it rang true for me before I married as well as for a... Continue Reading →
Karaoke is a big fat no for me, a hard limit if you like... I love to sing (alone) and have performed with work and in plays as a child. However, karaoke is not my thing. At All! As a 16 year old I did cut my teeth in karaoke with my rugby team. We did... Continue Reading →
I'm a big fan of the cello, and it is one of the instruments that I have played to an ok standard at some point in my life, I will always associate them with Classical music. Imagine my surprise when I stumbled across this tune: 2CELLOS - Whole Lotta Love vs. Beethoven 5th Symphony These two cellists... Continue Reading →
It's that time of year again. The time when everyone wants one of my spoons! Just over a year ago I learnt of the Spoons Theory. It has been suggested that each of us has a certain amount of spoons each morning when we wake up, and over the course of the day we use... Continue Reading →
I got my Metallica education during my marriage and found many songs that I thoroughly enjoyed. I learnt to play a few on my bass many years back. But when I heard this song, Orion, by Rodrigo y Gabriela, it blew me away. I return to it regularly, it is just magic, and have enjoyed many... Continue Reading →
Who knows what the future will bring, if I will meet someone I want to marry (and who wants to marry me, that's important too!) but as I've already been married I thought I'd share my first dance song with you. I've never been the most traditional of ladies, and as I refused to move... Continue Reading →
It's that time of the week when I can share my breasts for #Boobday. What better way to showcase my treasures than at a National trust property? There is nothing better than getting out and about, exploring what the South West has to offer. Especially when I have friends full of mischief in tow to... Continue Reading →
I like so much music but generally have no idea what decade tunes are from, unless I can date it with release from significant life events. However, it would seem rude to choose a tune from the 70s and skip disco, so I bring you one of many smile-making tunes: Tavares- Heaven must be missing an... Continue Reading →
When I think of my preteen years I think of bands like abba (dad's favourite) and status quo (mum's favourite) which hold a place in my heart for the ages 10-12. Delving further back though... One of my mums favourite stories about me is of how I would dance around the kitchen as a toddler... Continue Reading →
There I was, outside the door that would take me to him. I had dreamt about this moment since he first came into my life, since the first time I was allowed to see him, albeit a photograph. Though the fantasy that I knew would never be brought to reality had been deep-rooted since my... Continue Reading →
