Thursday music

Why not?

The perennially soppy James Blunt’s 1973 actually got to me. Not that I was around in 1973 itself, but the song and video capture some of the nostalgia that’s been plaguing me lately. I quite like the way the video’s done, with the street and shops lighting up as he passes. I think it captures the feeling of going back to a place you used to know well. The editing towards the end of the song, when the music picks up a bit, is just lovely and I like the way the dancing’s been filmed. The whole thing makes me think of Kathmandu because that’s one place I did actually go back to and still want to return to at some point. In the mean time, the song’s good to sigh to.

    Why does your spam protection make me do math? Don’t spammers know how to add? Anyway. This guy is not over 30. I would be his mama! (And his dada too.) Just kidding. I’m watching the video again and looking for evacuated phallic objects.

    I mean to write “could be” not “would be”. I certainly don’t want to be – sorry, typo.
