One song that always hits me right in the feels whenever it comes on the radio is this It's not a particularly sad song, in fact I'd describe it as pretty mellow... But it takes me back to first lockdown, and perhaps even before then when I was staying with my mum and stepdad (I said with them the entirety of first lockdown, it was the most time I'd spent with them in years). Quite often of an evening, after watching an episode of something like House or Death in Paradise, and possibly after the news, we'd just put on Now 70s and just watch and listen to the music, and then we'd just be in the living room til we headed up to bed, and it was I think during that time when I first heard this song, and I liked it, because it is a nice song. And I don't know why of all the songs we listened to, that one stuck with me but it did and since then it's always made me think of that time. To say I miss those days would be a huge understatement
Here's a very nice brand new documentary of another of my personal seminal musical interest albums heard through my brother's bedroom wall, the wonderful Selling England By The Pound by Genesis...
Thanks SA, one of my favourites too, I used to play this over and over again in 1973-4. I shall look forward to watching that!
