What is your go to song ?

My go to song is my favourite song... my life song

It has so much meaning behind. 

My life has had more meaning with that song because of the context. 

I first heard it in Perks of Being a wallflower... 

It's a sign of hope for all those who were seen as the loner or loser or bullied through your whole schooling career. 

David Bowie Heroes ♥ 

My take on the new ABBA songs...

I've listened to them multiple times. I must be honest.... I truly enjoyed them. I know some people didn't but I did and it was so worth the listen. 

ABBA will always be legendary just give them a chance. 

Go take a listen if you haven't already:

1. Don't Shut Me Down 

2. I Still Have Faith In You 

Dignity - Deacon Blue

There's a man I meet, walks up our street

He's a worker for the council

Has been twenty years

And he takes no lip off nobody

And litter off the gutter

Puts it in a bag

And never thinks to mutter

And he packs his lunch in a Sunblest bag

The children call him Bogie

He never lets on

But I know 'cause he once told me

He let me know a secret about the money in his kitty

He's gonna buy a dinghy

Gonna call her Dignity

And I'll sail her up the west coast

Through villages and towns

I'll be on my holidays

They'll be doing their rounds

They'll ask me how I got her I'll say, "I saved my money"

They'll say, "Isn't she pretty? That ship called Dignity"

And I'm telling this story

In a faraway sea

Sipping down raki

And reading Maynard Keynes

And I'm thinking about home and all that that means

And a place in the winter for dignity

And I'll sail her up the west coast

Through villages and towns

I'll be on my holidays

They'll be doing the rounds

They'll ask me how I got her I'll say, "I saved my money"

They'll say, "Isn't she pretty? That ship called Dignity"

Stand it up, stand it up, stand it up, stand it up, stand it up, stand it up

Yeah, stand it up again, stand it up again, stand it up again, stand it up again

Stand it up, stand it up, stand it up, stand it up, stand it up, stand it up

Yeah, stand it up again, stand it up again, stand it up again, stand it up again

And I'm thinking about home

And I'm thinking about faith

And I'm thinking about work

And I'm thinking how good it would be

To be here some day

On a ship called Dignity

A ship called Dignity

That ship

Today's post

Nothing original today, just the same old same old with a few changes to life. A mother of a million parrots. Big and small! Rescued a birdie. Came up with new ideas and found new music that's technically not new. But inspired. Music always has an attachment or story behind it. 

Normally I share playlists so I'll do that shortly and I'll share my sentimental reasons behind them as well.

2. David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) - Comfortably Numb 

3. Stormnag - Refenste

4. Sailing - Rod Stewart.

5. I've been waiting for you - Mamma Mia 2 cast. (I've dubbed that my pregnancy song for when I fall pregnant)

6. Seven Seas of Rhye - Queen 

7. The promise - When in Rome 

8. Right back where we started from - Maxine Nightingale 

9. Livin thing - Electric Light Orchestra 

10. Top of the world - Carpenters 

Welcome back after 5 years!!!!

A lot has happened in five years,  fell in love and got hurt, Hurt someone else, had many regrets and fell in love with my future husband. Seems like a normal life though.... Right?

I attended weddings and even was a Bridesmaid for one of them. Lost weight and gained it all to loss it all again, gained some and back to losing again. 

Got 2 degrees and engaged to my future hubby to get married in December if Covid allows it...

Lost my Granny who is hands down my favourite person 💔.  Almost a year ago she went on her journey as a angel 

But the music never stopped and the music taste stayed the same.
