all five horizons

I have just bought a few songs that put me in the best mood! They are 100% uncool but if you spend too much time worrying about that sort of thing then you will be sorry when you are 90 and you realise you have never danced around your bedroom to Taylor Dayne. What a sad day that will be.

So anyway, if I buy single songs these days it is usually because I have heard them on an advert, in a film or TV show and only occasionally if I heard it on the radio. This morning, I had a terrible journey into work but it was ok because I was bopping in my car to Rihanna’s Don’t Stop the Music and the deliciously 80s sounding Fascination by Alphabeat: two songs which I am sure go very much against the rock-ethic but then, see above. ITunes is completely deadly for this sort of thing because 79p seems such a little number to own a song that makes you sing and smile and happy. Fiest’s 1234, the ukulele version of Somewhere Over The Rainbow (which I am well aware is intensely irritating to many) and New Soul by Yael Naïm all make me happy too. Yesterday, I got caught singing at the top of my lungs to the Buffy musical soundtrack only the car next to me didn’t know that. All they knew is that I was really into what I was singing.
