#ArtistFaveNonAlbumSingles 8/15 Good morning, Another b side, this time from Kate Bush's 1983 single There Goes A Tenner.Ne T'Enfuis Pas translates as Don't Run Away and, like many of her story songs deals with doomed relationships youtu.be/1ygCcWAfKks?...

#DAVIDSMONTHOFMUSIC Day 8: a song about love but without "love" in the title. I've gone for literal here. Roger Waters wrote Grantchester Meadows in memory of the tranquil water meadows, paths and sluggish River Granta. In short, it's a love song about place and time youtu.be/dHAjvbVtPDg?...

#ArtistFaveNonAlbumSingles 7/15 Good morning, actually a b side but I reckon it still counts. Twilight Alehouse is a very different song to the bulk of what Genesis were writing back in the early 70s with that jazz influenced middle 8 before Tony Banks makes his synth sound like a vacuum cleaner

Blackpool Illuminations. As a kid in the '60s there'd be a train journey from Liverpool every autumn and we'd get on a bus and see as much of the five mile long display as possible before it was time to go home. If memory serves the Illuminations were only lit from early September until late October

#ArtistFaveNonSingles #KateBush A personal selection.

My first act would be to phone my mum, dad and brother and plead with them to give up smoking so that they could enjoy long, healthy and happy retirements. All three passed away within 5 years of retiring. After the phone calls I'd put a £50 bet on #ManchesterUnited winning the treble in 1999!
