So, the Brits. I sat and watched it with my daughter last night. As expected, I had no idea who half the people on it were but, bearing that in mind, here are my observations.
Taylor Swift. Comes on in long white dress which she whips off to reveal much shorter dress while shaking down her long hair. Not exactly original love. Marti Caine was doing that centuries ago on the Val Doonican Christmas Special. Nothing new under the sun.
One Direction. I seriously don't get it. I have tried. I was young once. At least the Bay City Rollers were good looking. (Except the drummer, oh and the one with the spots - sorry)
Emile Sandee. You seem very nice. I liked the way you had your coat on for the last song. Always wise to take your ticket to the cloakroom before the rush starts. (PS HOH says yours was absolutely the best album of the year so that's all lovely)
Daughter asked who Bryan Ferry was. Thought he was Terry Wogan and that he had lost some weight. How the mighty are fallen.
Have had a non lusty type crush on Dave Grohl since I saw him stop a performance because a young boy was getting crushed in the crowd. Always good to see him out and about. Unfortunately, have never been able to stand any of his music for for than 15 seconds.
Mumford and Son. Ah the Mumfords. Love them. Their music is like a drunk man singing quietly to himself in a bar then suddenly 50 men with banjos all run in and start playing all at once. It's a very good thing. Then there are their totally non-Christian beautiful lyrics. Reproduced for you here. Enjoy.
And I came home
Like a stone
And I fell heavy into your arms
These days of darkness
Which we've known
Will blow away with this new sun
And I'll kneel down
Wait for now
And I'll kneel down
Know my ground
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
So break my step
And relent
You forgave and I won't forget
Know what we've seen
And him with less
Now in some way
Shake the excess
But I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
Lyrics by Mumford and Sons
Have you checked out who Mr Mumford's Mum and Dad are? you really should...
ReplyDeleteNot knowing who Bryan Ferry is! Gosh...parent failure alert!
ReplyDeleteAng has peaked my curiosity...off to Google.

So the next time I see you I expect the audio, complete with strings of course. All your own work. You lasted far longer than did I. I was praying for the return of Sam Fox and Mick Fleetwood within 25 seconds of Taylor Swift walking down "The Aisle" so to speak. I was going to do it sooner but she was already anounced. I admire your courage and your stamina. I too enjoy M & S's don't know HOH's choice, never heard of 'her' [or was it a him?].
ReplyDeleteThanks for the commentary though, at least I now know I didn't miss too much by changing channel and deleting the recording [I don't watch live because of adverts] "Go that Delay Function" couldn't live without it.
See you soon Lesley. Looking forward to the next edition with bated breath.
You did make me laugh with your commentary. Spot on!
