Some songs just stick with you. This one I have played and played until the
entire family want to throw up on the floor if they hear it again. Strangely, I just cannot hear it enough. It was the same with Cold Play’s Viva La Vida,
I have to wait until no one is around before playing it. One of my neighbours on our rough estate, a
huge monster with tattoos and a string vest used to sit in his garden with a
cigarette hanging from his lips and play Goria Gaynor’s “I will survive” again and again. Such an unexpected choice but I could
understand, some pieces feel as if they are written for just you. My favourite so far is the Avett Brother’s
Murder in the City. I don’t like their
other stuff but this one piece touches me every time I play it. Do listen to each word because it is the
words that make you sit up and like it – lines like
“Always remember, there is nothing worth sharing
Like the love that let us share our name”
Like the love that let us share our name”
