Lover of popular music but always wanting to find out more. That golden period between 1978 and 1985 is where my heart lies but always willing to try something else. https://open.substack.com/pub/daveross100?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=293r7s

Something In That Mess
We've all been there. There's no better lyricist on love and heartbreak.
"'Cause you and me
Were never meant to be together
But you took off your dress
And something in that mess got changed forever"

Can't double like but JC's live versions were always extraordinary.
"When I fall out of love, you
Meet me on the way down"
This is def JC's best song. Apart from the others you've favoured. Not sure why this isn't more widely recognised but if it was would I love it as much?

Little Stars
Now this is a wedding song
"As the revellers retire and divide up into pairs
Little stars caught within my hair and I swear, against my will
I will be hers until the disbelieving ones are dead"

Hedgehogs, foxes, badgers, deer, birds including red kites and there was even a polecat. It's a charity so get down there and spend some Dosh. Lovely people π

Worse ways to spend a Saturday evening. In the glorious Chilterns before a visit to the Buckinghamshire Steam Railway tomorrow. Who said having a four year old son at sixty was a bad idea? Keeps me living π

Where Did I Go
I've just stumbled across this spine tingling live version of this incredible song from What Is Love For. Oh. My. Goodness.

As an aside these Stewart Copeland videos are brilliant. Couldn't find a So Lonely one so here's Message In A Bottle.

When my partner's nan died we inherited some records that we think belonged to my partner's uncle. Long involved family story why he didn't get them. Anyway in amongst them were these. I'll have a chat with her and see if she's ok to sell them. We'll never listen to them

One of many "oh my goodness" Justin Currie songs. Too much to say it takes my breath away? No, I don't think it is. Absolutely gorgeous.
