New post. New letter. New word: ‘New’. Nice.
But before I get to ‘New’, I have ‘Never’. ‘Never’ is very final, determined and dramatic – as is often the tone for songs – see also the words ‘All’, ‘Every’ and ‘Know’.
Of course, there are very famous songs that come to mind – the theme from Never Say Never Again, the classic Never Ever by All Saints, Never Forget by Take That (thank you Miss Champ, again)… any more for any more?
Well, here are the ones currently residing on my iPod:
Never Enough – The Cure
Never Going Back Again – Fleetwood Mac (LOVE this, think I might put a video for it below. I so did NOT ashamedly rediscover this via Glee…ahem)
Never Know – Jack Johnson
So now for the ‘New’ stuff. ‘New’ is usually fun and shiny. It can be exciting, but scary too. It brings with it all kinds of possibilities…and so, so many things to sing and play music about too.
Anyway, enough. Here they are:
New Ceremony (Live) – Dry the River (from their live iTunes EP)
New Frontier! – Counting Crows (it may be interesting to look at any other song titles that have exclamation marks in them at some point…. at some point.)
New Soul – Yael Naim (on a Macbook advert a while back, I believe. Very nice song)
New York Minute – Don Henley (croony, swoony, song. Used in an early Friends episode, which prompted me to buy it.)
I’m sort of surprised I don’t have more ‘New York’ songs, there are tonnes out there, but hey-ho, I can’t like that many of them, or be bothered enough to buy them anyway.
That’s it for now. But look at me – posting twice in one week! Amaze-balls, as the young cats say.
See ya,
