2. God Bless Mum

you may be wondering what the number one was about on the previous post. my intentiton had been to post 5 different posts in the one day but hey this is me - slowest most unreliable blogger of the lot - so heck here's the news rather late but not out of date. . .

last week featured my mum's birthday. were she alive she would have turned 58, which on reflection seems quite strange. i can't imagine what she would look like at 58. so she remains as she was - a fresh faced 51.
i listened several times to the God Bless Mom - having had a bit of a Frames Revival day, reminding myself why i love that band so much and thought often of her and of the many times ewan and i have rocked out to this over the years and how this track always held such poignancy for us.
See above for link to their official site where you can play all but their latest tracks for free. On that page above you'll find the live version of GBM from the exhilirating live album Set List - chosen over the studio version for its stunning breakdown in the middle. Headphonz recommended. Turn it up to 11.
