Time for March's song...

Here's Singapore. It was inspired by Ishiguro's Klara, looking up at a "wide-screen sky". I imagined a conversation happening under that same sky, in a different place at the same time. She wants to fly to Singapore. He'll go anywhere as long as it's with her. Oh, you old romantic, you.

INSPIRAL CARPETS – ALBERT HALLS, MANCHESTER 1 APRIL 2023

Despite coming to Glasgow, something told me that a road trip to Manchester was required when Inspiral Carpet’s UK tour was announced in October last year. The Albert Halls is one of my favourite venues and I just had the feeling that it would be a special night and I was right.

We queued up early so we could get a seat upstairs in the Albert Halls and the atmosphere built quickly with Manchester DJ Dave Sweetmore playing classic 90s indie to the expectant crowd. A short set by Wigan new boys Stanleys was great then another half hour set from Sweetmore led to an amazing sing-along that warmed the crowd up better than most support bands ever could.

The band last played live in 2015 but following the untimely death of drummer Craig Gill, they had been on an understandable hiatus. Craig was a hugely popular part of the Manchester music scene and his sudden death had sent a shockwave through the band and Manchester.

The crowd exploded as they opened with ‘Joe’, a single from 1989 and quickly rattled through a set with too many highs to mention, however ‘She Comes in The Fall’, ‘Directing Traffik’, and ‘Caravan’ were some highlights but the closing tune ‘Dragging Me Down’ was a particularly special moment. The sound of Boon’s keyboards is the thing that set the Inspirals apart from other bands in the 90s and it was great to hear live.

After the main set, the unmistakable face of Gilly was projection at the back of the stage and Clint announced that Craig’s son Levon would take the drum kit for the next song, there was not a dry eye on the crowd. Levon is about 18 and a quiet lad but did his dad proud and it was a special moment for everyone.

They ended their triumphant set with ‘Saturn 5’ and it was clear that we had just experienced a very special night that we’d remember for a very long time.

5 stars.

Are you the same as me?

This is my song for February 2024, Tomorrow (Are You The Same As Me?) Bit more of an indie rock feel on this one. It's about being anxious and questioning everything. Enjoy.

Are you the same as me? Just thinking and thinking and thinking 'Til I can't breathe 'Cause I'm drowning in tomorrow

♱ ❝ I Wanna Be Adored ❞ - The Stone Roses [1989]

A song that allowed myself to momentarily let tears stream down my face for 4 minutes & 52 seconds

The first time I ever heard this song was back in March 2022. It was a late Friday evening, around half 9 maybe 10, and I was hanging around town with my best friend. It was a full moon and we were sat in one of our local park’s band stands, surrounded by the dead of the night. Although we could hear the faint bustles of the fancy bars and restaurants across the street, the moment was full of tranquility and, what seemed like something I had forgotten about during this time, a feeling of serenity.

As the song began to play, I found myself immediately falling in love with the sequences of bass and guitar riffs that introduced themselves at the beginning of the track. I fell even harder as soon as the dreamlike vocals of Ian Brown could be heard, and all I could think about in the moment was how beautifully composed this song was. I’ve heard similar before but, nothing could comprehend to what I was hearing in that moment.

My friend began to tell me about the guy she had been talking to and how this song reminded her very much of him; reminiscing on the adventures they had shared within the short amount of time being together. I sat in silence next to her, listening to what she had to say, focusing on the emotions held behind each word whilst the song continued to flow in the background. I love to hear people’s point of view on music, especially when it’s songs that hold greater meaning to them personally. Of course, once the song had ended we began chatting about other things, before continuing whatever it was we had planned for the rest of the evening. I didn’t think much of ‘I Wanna Be Adored’ after this, and truth be told I completely forgot about it.

Until one night.

It was the early hours of the morning back in August. I was awake in a mind spiral, overthinking about numerous things. University, the future, my purposes but most importantly romance. I’m a bit of a romantic, you see, having grown up reading wattpad and fantasising about the possibility of marriage; all that sappy, ‘doesn’t really exist’ crap. There had been one boy in particular who had been running through my mind for such a long time now, and in a way I was sick of it. Sick of being hung up on something I knew was going nowhere. Sick of not being able to just ‘get over it’. I was frustrated, tired and in actual fact, had had enough.

Music helps me with a lot of things, especially understanding my emotions. It’s a way for me to express myself through the melodies and the lyrics that pass through my ears. So with this in mind, it’s no surprise I was plugging in my AirPods and scrolling through Spotify. I’m very fond of the Discover Weekly playlist that Spotify composes for you. In fact, I check it almost every week to see what gems it beholds to me (I’ve found a lot of great stuff through it). ‘I Wanna Be Adored’ by The Stone Roses was the first song to be suggested to me, and I was immediately remembered of my wonderful friend showing me the track a couple of months back, and vaguely remembering that I enjoyed it.

I gave it a play.

Immediately, I was falling back in love allover again. The riffs, Ian Brown’s vocals, the lyrics; it was even more beautiful to me than the first time I had heard it. I couldn’t believe I had forgotten such a tune. As soon as I heard “ I wanna be adored…’’ echo through the tiny speakers into my mind, I could feel the tears leaving my eyes. I cried; properly cried.

I hadn’t cried so hard yet so soft like the way I had cried during this song in such a long time. A build up of so many feelings, so many thoughts pouring down my cheeks as I laid in bed. Although I knew I was upset, I could feel a heavy weight lift from me, like a sigh of relief when you know you have nothing to worry about, nothing to stress about; that everything is going to be okay. I allowed myself to cry, allowed my pillow to get a little bit soaked. I even allowed my nose to get just a little bit snotty. I knew that I needed this release, and I knew that it would do me the world of good. As the song ended, I felt myself taking a deep breath; slowly in and slowly out. Gathering composure, I dabbed my cheeks dry and sat in silence. Thinking, but not too much.

I had never felt myself get so emotionally worked up over a song like I Wanna Be Adored before. In fact, I have never cried over a song like that before. Once again, I am astonished at the emotional capability music is able to hold over us as listeners, and what such a powerful impact it has. Of course, there are songs that make me think, that make me feel emotionally understood, but none that have ever made me tip over the edge like this one. I had it on repeat for the rest of the night, letting it engrave itself into my brain as I fell asleep.

I Wanna Be Adored by The Stone Roses is a song I think everyone should listen to. At least once. Although it won’t give you the same feeling I experienced during my re-listen, I know deep down it is a song that can mean anything to anyone, depending on who is listening (like many songs).

This is the power of music. It holds onto emotions, fills you with nostalgia and allows you to feel like the world isn’t ending, at least not yet.
