music and ear worms

I have been feeling really low, not bouncing back any more.

Had a good long think about what is different.

Yea, covid, lock down, us all being in tiers!

But I haven’t been focusing on my beloved tunes.

My son strumming his guitar reminds me of what I’m missing.

At the moment I am revisiting Jack White’s Blunderbus, Love Interruption is my favourite track.

Back in the day I would look out for bands touring near us.

Saw Jack White at Blackpool’s Winter Gardens. He was amazed at the beautiful venue and really appreciated the architecture.

The Lowry at Salford Quays is another wonderful place.

Bridgewater Hall in Manchester too.

So what i want for 2021 is a cat, tickets to see a good band at a good venue (Arenas are impossible for me) and lovely son to continue strumming.

thank you forum for giving me a place to let all my nonsense out!

I really do want a cat, x

Thank you. I’m not really able to do much at the moment but if/when that changes I’ll be on a mission to find cats, find out who is due to play at a venue accessible to me and get tickets.

Today`s rediculous ear worm was the hokey cokey…I ask you!

Boudsx

That is the trouble with flipping ear worms. Why, why would you do that to us Bouds??? Why?

I’ll see your Hokey Cokey and raise you one Daytrip to Bangor!!

Billy sets my ear worms off with his beautiful strumming.

Today’s offering is “oh well” by Fleetwood Mac,

I can’t sing I ain’t pretty and my legs are thin, don’t ask me what I think of you i might not give the answer that you want me too.

Every home should have a resident guitarist!

Every home should have their own resident Billy.

I wouldn’t survive without my Billy.

My Jack is lovely too but he doesn’t play guitar!

an advert on telly used Wires by Athlete,

I bought the CD when I got my diagnosis, so the song, far from making me sad reminds me of the promise made to myself that I would be strong. Don’t know if I kept that promise but I’m still here!!

Calm after the storm, best Eurovision song ever, calm unerstated performance by the Common Linnets, can’t forget it 6 years on!

You could always try another version of it.

Sail by AWOL Nation. Once it breeds in your ear it takes up complete residence.

It also features in a TV advert for Tia Maria.

I’ve got no idea where it’s coming from but today I have David Bowie’s, Sorrow playing in my head. I’m actually quite happy! However, this was swiftly followed by The Laughing Gnome!!! Saints preserve us!

Sorrow was one of the first singles I bought.

Space Oddity was the first album (on vinyl) that I ever bought.

How are you doing Poppy?

Laughing gnome indeed!

I’m feeling good actually Carole, thanks. All my earworms seem to be from so, so many years ago. They link up with so many memories too don’t they? People,places, emotions at that particular time…

The Doors today “Strange”.

very apt actually!

The Laughing Gnome is surely one of the worst earworms ever. It makes me sad to say that about a Bowie song.

I’m going to silently sing ‘Carole is Strange’ now!!

I love the idea of you singing “Carole is strange!”

Talking of the Laughing Gnome and Bowie, I watched a bit of Labyrinth which had the same amount of whimsy and was as corny. I think that Bowie had few reservations about showing all aspects of himself, although please David put a better filter on it!

When you’re strange faces come out of the rain! A good lyric which paints a picture.

I need a shower to properly wake me up but it’s a long way up the mountain (stairs) and I’ll have to stay down here until my bladder gets a bit more angry.

See you later
