Tune on Tuesday

If you haven't seen the film Drive then you should, its really great and this song from the soundtrack is really beautiful and is my Tune on Tuesday!

Tune on Tuesday!

One of my favourite Christmas tunes! Always makes me feel festive even if the meaning is one of woe!

Being an 80s child this brings back some memories and I just love the haircuts!

Tune on Tuesday!

Not only is this song from one of the best films of all time but the words are beautiful and I love it so much.

Thank you to Huey Morgan for playing it on the radio the other week and reigniting my love for this song, I really love BBC Radio 6, the presenters are simply magnificent!

My tune on Tuesday!

As I was sat in the car on the way back from a hot chocolate and cake at a local garden centre this song was playing on the radio, meanwhile my son was holding hands with my daughter in the back of the car and both of them were laughing.

Their innocence is so truly beautiful and I love them with all my heart. It amazes me how one simple moment can simply sweep aside all of the rubbishness of a day.

As I mentioned in the post My Love of Music, I love listening to music and songs can be so powerful at creating feelings.

This shall now be my children's song whether they like it or not ;-)

My love of music!

I love music,  I always have.

I have learnt to DJ and make music at a music school in my spare time, I used to love going clubbing and letting the music move my body.

I listen to music when I am cleaning and dance like nobody is watching, my children usually looking on bemused but excited by mummy twirling and wiggling.

For me music takes my mind away from it all, it brings back memories and for a moment I can be lost in the words or music of someone else's life.

I remember moments in life, for example As The Rush Comes by Motorcycle reminds me of Gatecrasher at the NEC and a friend who said 'I looked amazing' sadly he went on to take his own life and everytime I hear that song I think of him.



Romeo by Basement Jaxx was the song that was playing when I first told my husband I loved him.



My Friend by Groove Armada was the song played as we walked down the aisle after we got married.



For me music is like smells and conjures up memories, I have an album that I listened to every day when I was 15, I still play it and even now 13 years later it still brings back memories of my first boyfriend and leaving school.

When I hear songs they remind me of a moment, a person, a place or just that life is full of beautiful things.

So that is My Song Saturday or Soppy Saturday maybe, either way have great weekends. Tomorrow is Silent Sunday so i'll talk to you on Monday.
