Soooooo Day 1.

My favourite song.
It all depends what mood I'm in. When I'm working, it's Mozart's Horn Concertos. I love them. they're amazing to work to.
Otherwise, there's a whole host of them. Harvey Andrew's The British Soldier just seems to sum up the troubles in a way nothing else I've heard does. Then there's Frank Turner's Long Live the Queen , or indeed any of his, but that one... It's about his friend, and when you listen to it, and watch the video on YouTube, you can tell that they were friends. Jim Morey's Leaving Australia and I'll Go List For a Sailor- in fact all of his Low Culture album is good. As is Imagined Village. Amazing Album. It was described to me as folk gone wrong. Maddy Prior and the Girls: I've listened to that so many times I know it word for word. The Great Divide is the best there I think. Who else? David Bowie, Steeleye Span, La Oreja De Van Gogh... so so many. It's hard to choose just one. But my all time favourite song is actually not a song. It's George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. That's my Pick-me-up-calm-me-down piece that I can never get bored of. The clarinet at the start and the rushing of the piano...
