Love Songs.

21st April, 2020.

OK, sue me.

For once?

I actually fancied watching a film …

But simultaneously … ?   Simultaneously not watching one.

If that makes sense?

Much as I really do fancy catching the Italian version of Reanimator -- made in 2017, and called Herbert West - Re-Animator -- I also fancied an early night.



But also fancied breaking the rules, a little, and blogging … without making a video, for once.

There was also something else I wanted to do.

Post some music, for a change.

I'm not necessarily a rabid music fan.

But do tend to know what I like.

And thought I should share what I think are possibly the best love songs I know.


Miss Chatelaine?   If there's a song that catches the honeymoon period, better, I don't know it.

Hazel O'Connor's Will You? is the first time you … well, yeah … the first time!  Catches that whole nervous thing, perfectly.

Tom Robinson's War Baby?   Well, War Baby's meaning is much discussed, I'm told.   But if it's not the song that describes a relationship dying, I don't know what one is.

Chas and Dave's There Ain't No Pleasing You … is the song that "It's over, I'm out of here," better than any other.

With the possible exception of Dame Shirley's Diamonds are Forever.

Now …

I call them love songs.

The fact three of them about loving relationships that are over has nothing to do with these tunes quality.

Or the fact they're all love songs.

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.

*   I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
