Song of the Year 2014
Music, like most people I believe is very important for me, I can’t play an instrument, I believe I can’t sing myself, but does that really stop me? Hang out with me for an hour and you’d find out I love to sing, may give you a head ache, may not know the words, but something comes out of my mouth which makes me happy for a little while, and hopefully entertaining, obviously in the comical sense to whoever listening.
Being as vein as I am, for the last few years, I have made a awards evening every week on the tube ride home with a work friend where I decide the song of the week, and she’d instantly criticise my choice as being too old or generally a rubbish song, like I’d give a crap what she thought.
Here’s the songs that made my year. They remind me of a place or people, generally a wonderful time or just a good song. For the last few minutes I’ve been going through my Ipad trying to find an example, like in a note written on 24062014 04:57, most likely Victoria Tube Station, clubbing to Whenever Wherever by Shakira with Maggie and Kajan the night before.

because I am such a Gilmore Girl fan and because I couldn't find the original music video
Don’t ask me how it’s just how these things work, anyway all of these songs are really great, and at some time or another, for the next few years at least, whenever we hang out I’ll be singing these songs.
