Clint Black is coming to town this week....

I woke up this morning with my favourite song by my favourite Monkee going round in my head. I had a huge crush on Mike Nesmith when I was about six years old. I'm over it now.

And his mum invented Tippex!

For when people piss me off, so this song has been running almost non-stop in my head over the last few months.

If this song isn't one of the classic gay anthems then it jolly well ought to be. Catch the words. I can't find the exact lyrics as sung on this recording, but never mind, Cleo Laine's diction is impeccable.

There is irony in the combination of articulate verses such as "When he's near I'm fair and warmer, when he's gone I'm cloudy with showers" with the grammatically incorrect refrain of "I got it bad and that ain't good." With each verse, Webster and Ellington make the case for why this love is probably not a good idea, but is not likely to go away anytime soon.

We Don't Talk Anymore
Like we used to do
We don't love anymore
What was all of it for?
Oh, we don't talk anymore
Like we used to do...

I must have heard this record hundreds of times and I never get tired of it. Words and music by Denny Lane. The string arrangement by Christopher Gunning is a small masterpiece in its own right. On a whim I just looked him up. He's a prolific film and TV composer, he has a number of symphonies and concerti to his name and most impressive of all he wrote the music for the famous Martini advertisement that must have been heard millions of times in every cinema in the world.

Been loving this tune, when I put it on I can't just listen to it once.

According to Google this is a briar bush.


And according to this song it knows everything. Enjoy.
