Taylor Swift – Anti-Hero

I love that this a song about depression and Taylor describes it perfectly. Yet the tune isn’t down or slow, but an upbeat tribute to her struggles.

Tina Turner – Simply The Best

When we lost Tina Turner recently, we lost a musical legend. I was lucky enough to see her live in Manchester, back in 2009. See photos and blog post from the time.

Tracy Chapman – Fast car

I’ll be honest, I’ve loved this song for years. It is about escaping a harsh reality and the hope for better days in the future. Tracy has a beautiful voice.

Lucy Spraggan – Balance

I love Lucy Spraggan’s honesty in this song. She strives for something we all do: balance in our lives. But this song is about more than this. It is about her realising, that perhaps having someone along on her journey might be a good thing.

Nicole Scherzinger – Don’t Hold Your Breath

This song is definitely one I listen to repeat. It’s about realising how badly you’ve been treated by someone that’s supposed to care for you. Realising it, getting angry and saying F##K YOU, I AM NEVER GOING BACK TO THAT S##T.

Oleta Adams – Get Here

Oleta Adams expresses the desire and longing we can have for that special person. Her voice is phenomenal and she is someone I would love to see live, just for this one song.

Thirty Four in Alert Lockdown

Me, out in the sunshine. Alert for Coronavirus.

I think 2020 will be the year known as what wasn’t, rather than what was. So many of people’s plans have been cancelled. Of course we all understand that it is essential and that keeping safe is the most important thing.

On Wednesday 13th May 20, the UK Government relaxed lockdown. Just in time for my birthday! This meant I could now meet a friend for my birthday, maintaining social distancing and go for a walk in Rivington with them. So the day after, on my birthday, that’s exactly what I did.

It was a lovely walk. The sun was out and was warm. The birds were singing. The stream flowed making a gentle gushing sound. All combined sounded like a nature meditation CD.

The 1975, one of my favourite bands released this song, which I’m absolutely addicted to. I’ve been listening to it on repeat since its release:

That’s how I spent my birthday. Take care and be safe. Write soon,
