A Winter Playlist

(My illustration: 'A Rainy Evening in London' watercolour and gouache)

1. People Help The People by Birdy

 'People help the people
And if you're homesick
give me your hand and I'll hold it'

2. Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel

'Time it was
And what a time it was, it was
A time of innocence
A time of confidences'

3. Don't Read The Classics by Owl & Mouse 

'There's a bookshop on my highstreet
full of novels I'd like to read'

4. Growing Up by Run River North

 

'Well I know I have lived

Just a wrinkle of this life'

5. Put on Cologne by Donovan Woods

'And all your letters written in your tiny voice
Telling me to come back home as if I had another choice'

6. Down in the Valley by The Head and the Heart

'I wish I was a slave to an age-old trade
Like ridin' around on railcars and workin' long days
Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways'

7. Landslide by Fleetwood Mac

Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
