Never Forget You - The Noisettes
Kept on hearing it but always missed who sang it. Then one day I managed to Shazam it! Very 60s eh? The song, not Shazam.
Little Lion Man - Mumford and Sons
Love it. Folksy. Except for the swearing possibly.
Breathing - Lifehouse
An iPod on shuffle find. Keeps on sounding like something else, then I realise it's actually just that song.
New York - Paloma Faith
Cracking song. She looks a bit...unique. And does not at all talk like you'd expect.
The Road - Frank Turner
Heard this on Zane Lowe. Surprising as I spend about two seconds a week listening to Zane show before his incessant shouting gets too annoying. But I am on board with this song Zane!
Drumming - Florence and the Machine
I really wasn't sure about her at the start. Bit too specialist for me, but this song has really grown on me.
Wheels - Foo Fighters
I usually don't like Foo Fighters. But I like this song. Makes me want to drive a long trip in America.
The Captain - Biffy Clyro
I have no notion what's this song is about. Like none. And if you follow me on Twitter you'll know my confusion about some of the lyrics, 'I can't walk rat arsed'. Interestingly, I learned this is called a Mondegreen (a mishearing of the ear, usually a song lyric.) So there.
End Credits - Chase and Status
Love it, so calming at the start. And surprisingly underplayed I thought by my beloved Radio 1.
Children in Need - Peter Kay's Animated All Star Band
You already know my feelings on Children in Need. But that's now what Sky+ and BBC London is for. I loved this, although I didn't know half the new characters (Nicky and Heidi gave me an education. We used to live in similar worlds, now theirs is so different to mine!) Clever intertwining of the songs and brilliant video, but no word on whether Chippy Minton was ex-directory though. Bet he was raging.
This next one is a worry and I can only apologise. I know, you used to respect my musical tastes and I hope we can still be friends...
A New Day Has Come - Celine Dion
Ok, before you get all judgemental, let me just explain. It was used on Strictly the other week, Chris and Ola did their Viennese Waltz to it, and I love them and that dance. If makes it any better, if I could have downloaded the BBC version, I would have.
See, isn't it nice?
The last item I have been 'listening' to isn't a song. I know, nearly as shocking as the Celine revelation. It's this video. I used it taking YF last week and love it. Very clever editing, but I think it's the way the words appear on screen that make it. I just wish they'd fade the music at the end.
So that's it, December tomorrow. Bring. It. On.
