I shan't keep you long today, just a quick show and tell. A song came on the radio earlier this week that, I don't mind telling you, knocked me for seven. And hearing it for the first time I naturally assumed it was a new tune. Well, you do don't you? Wrong! How has this gem, this utterly perfect slice of dreamy pop passed me by? I've been racking my brains and I must have gone to Mars in 2005; that's all I can think.

Nice one, John! As a long-time fan of Emiliana I concur; it's a beautiful, understated and sweet piece of dreamy pop, one of my favourites and the lyrics always make me want to read the rest of the 'story'!

I know what you're saying, but isn't it nice, sometimes, when all the loose ends aren't tied up? I love it when not everything does get resolved. That way you can play out all the different scenarios in your head. Or is that just me..?
DeleteYes, absolutely- I do know just what you mean. (And in this instance I like to imagine what went on before, perhaps more than after...)
DeleteI think after the Eurovision film last year and the absolutely brilliant Think About Things by Daði Freyr (not easy to type) we are tuned into the music of Iceland. I remember her from C's blog.
ReplyDeleteAh, 'Think About Things' - my most played track from last year. By a country mile.
DeleteI've never known how to spell/type the name either. In the same way no keyboard has an umlaut on the 'n' to correctly spell Spinal Tap!
