I’ll have a think about it Tharg.
Check out the lyrics to ‘Drivers License’ by a young singer Olivia Rodrigo.
I know it’s an ultra modern take on heartbreak with a couple of F words thrown in, but it makes me emotional when I listen to it, and that’s a measure of a good lyricist.
I love classical music. Edward Elgar is buried less than half a mile from my house, and he used to give piano lessons next door. I’ll put flowers on his grave as soon as the weather improves. I also love the ballet and Opera, and I really enjoy going to musicals when I can. Blood Brothers is playing with a top touring cast at the beginning of March at the renowned Malvern theatre just a few minutes from us.
I grew up back in the 60’s in the pop and rock era with a chunk of reggae and Ska thrown in, followed by Motown of course, and with two of the family currently rehearsing for a return to gigs, one in a rock band and the other in a tribute band my head is filled with music.
My musical tastes are totally eclectic. I’ve got loads of tracks covering all genres on usb which I play through a good hifi system in the car when I’m out and about, and when I’m home I play it through a Yamaha Stagepas 600BT PA system (the clarity and tone is exceptional) with a Yamaha DSX15 subwoofer linked in when I feel like feeling the floor move …. the subwoofer alone pumps out up to 1000watts.
I admire your choice of a top three Tharg. The penmanship for all three is top notch. It will take me a while to do justice to a top three, because already I’m having a crisis about the songs I will have to discard. ??
