Ooh, I loved Tears and Pavan. I'd forgotten it. I think thread rules prevent me from more depressing contributions at this stage. But we are cooking with gas.

Steve,
Indeed you chose an easy theme.
I had two songs in my head for this theme - one artist from the UK (and one of my personal favorites in the music arena) and the other band from Australia. I am going with the number from Mr. Dickinson.

Some years it has crystallized that more challenging ones don't appear to be on the top favourite list here. We had quite demanding themes about three years ago. But the official demand literally was to do two or three themes per dayIndeed you chose an easy theme.
. Things like cars, beer etc. So I also grow out of ideas without resorting to repetitions.Best regards!

I have my own little set of rules to keep myself interested. The main one is that the song has to be in my own 'inventory' either physically or in a personal playlist from my streaming music service. I don't use internet searches, but I do search my own catalog. I've found things in my catalog I've never heard and have found some excellent music through this group.

I have a theory that you must absolutely wallow in misery before finding a way out of it.
The Cure go either way. "Friday I'm in Love" is a cheerful cracker, IMO. Crack on.

I think I owe an apology to the forum for thoroughly depressing all of us.
Leonard Cohen was asked why his songs were so depressing. He said he only wrote songs when he was p***** off.
Crack on boys and girls. Nearly out of it.
