Just Music...

Posted by: ken c on 11 October 2012

Not sure if the title is appropriate, but what the heck -- no good at these things.

 

i just wanted to share with you a rcent experience. Driving back home in very heavy traffic on the M25. Radio on. Cant remember what station, probably Radio 1 or 2, most likely 2.

 

Then a very familiar song played. "Breakfast at Tiffany's" was playing. i recall being completely absorbed into it and started singing along quite loudly (as one does on the M25!!):

 

And I said, ?What about breakfast at Tiffany's?
She said, "I think I remember the film?
And as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it
And I said, "Well, that's the one thing we've got"

 

At no time did any thoughts of sound quality enter the proceedings -- i was simply thoroughly enjoying the music, just the music and nothing but the music...

 

enjoy

Same for me with Chas & Dave 

 

Snooker loopy nuts are we
Me and him and them and me
We'll show you what we can do 
With a load of balls and a snooker cue

Pot the reds then, skrew back
For the yellow green brown blue pink and black
Snooker loopy nuts are we
We're all snooker loopy

Some classic songs just grab you like that and SQ is secondary

Similar experience years ago in London.

 

Driving, radio on, dull overcast day, bit fed up for no particular reason.

 

Enter Blackwall Tunnel, lose fm signal as a result.

 

Coming up the exit ramp from the tunnel, I notice that the sun has suddenly burst through,and, simultaneously, radio kicks back with the opening bars of the Stones belting out "brown Sugar" .

 

Doesn't get any better than that, and put a grin on my face for the rest of the day.

 

Sometimes, it really is all about the music after all.

 

Aw ra best,

 

Dave.

Wow, that's odd. Must have been an accident or something.

somethimes when this happens, no accident, just heaviy traffic... one of the reasons i dont like driving on these motorways. the m25 was meant to improve with 4 lanes here and there, but this seems to have just generated even more traffic. Ahh!

i can relate to that...  the song i mentioned i have heard a few times before and never really paid too much attention to it, but that particulat mid-afteroon was different. i just dug deep into the lyrics for some reason.
