…where have you gone?
It’s been a while since I’ve listened to Keane’s Hopes And Fears, but it will always remind me of my… our… honeymoon. I bought an iPod (my first; still got it) about the time of the wedding, but given the hectic business around those matrimonial times, I only managed to load one album onto it before we left. Hopes And Fears was that album: rather apt for a *cough* young couple heading off into the trials and tribulations of married life together.
Thus, this is the first track I ever played on an iPod:
So, while Tom and his chums may be taxiing to their secret streamside woodland hideout, while you may be staring at your computer screen, I am currently (mentally, at least) lying on a beach on an island just off the coast of Mozambique.
Where exactly? Somewhere only I know. Lol.
Meanwhile, in tenuous link central, you may have recently heard the cover version of this song for the John Lewis Christmas ad. That was done by Lily Allen and she – according to the Daily Mail – has brought her “svelte figure” in a “lime green floral halterneck bikini top” to the “breathtaking scenery” of South Africa’s “stunning wine lands.”
She even posted a picture of herself with a big steak and a pair of braai tongs!
The weird thing is, it’s a really SA-positive article, despite being in the Daily Mail, with loads of nice words and lovely pictures.
I know, I’m confused too.
As a late adopter of only the finest things in life (I always get into the second album first, then move onto the first), our honeymoon album was Jock Johnson’s Brushfire Fairytales.
Who is Lilly Allen?
Biobot > Now I must go and find some Jock Johnson music.
