Dawn Chorus - Day 5

Just a short posting this morning. Todays' Dawn Chorus is Frank Turners' "Polaroid Pictures" from his album "Tape Deck Heart". There's no particular reason why I'm hearing it today, I haven't listened to the Album for a while. I like it though. Good choice brain!

Dawn Chorus - Day 4

It's a bit late in the day really to be doing this and have it count as a dawn chorus. I was up early, considering it's the weekend, doing some chores and errands so was a bit too preoccupied to think about the days' dawn Chorus. However, there is a song that's been rolling around my head most of the day which is Bessie Smiths' Send me to the Electric Chair. Last night I was posting a new jam on This Is my jam and actually chose Aint Nobodys' Business If I Do but it's Send Me to The Electric Chair that I've been thinking about since. I'm a big Bessie Smith fan. I love the way her songs combine dark humour and real emotional strength.

Dawn Chorus - Day 3

Oh dear, not a good day today. I have that dreary nonsense by Passenger going round in my head! I have no idea why. I don't like the song, not even sure what it's called and I can't remember the last time I actually heard it but I have some line about "only miss your lover when you let her go"  on repeat in my brain. Im going to listen to some Pink Floyd to get rid of it

Dawn Chorus - Day 2

Following yesterdays first entry of The Dawn Chorus, I did think of changing the name to Morning Glory but thought better of it as I am a mature, sensible man who holds no truck with such juvenile smut...honest!

 

Anyway, todays' second entry is Adeles' "Don't You Remember from her 21 album.

The reasons why this might be on my mind and entered my unconscious sleep will become clear in a few weeks,  so stick around to find out why, it's good. Actually that's just my Ham fisted way of getting anyone reading this blog to keep coming back!

The Dawn Chorus

Most mornings I wake up with some song or piece of music going round my head and I thought it might be fun to keep a record of these on a daily basis. It's not a particularly original idea I know, Shaun Keavney on Radio 6 has his "Ear Worms" feature going in a similar vein. Luckily, in the sense that I don't have to get up that early, I rarely hear this. So I'm starting my own version. So, the inaugural "Dawn Chorus" is John Grants' "Pale Green Ghosts
