Can't believe it!! I even had to check both my stopwatch AND the map to make sure I did actually fifteen miles. Not only did I; I ran it in a shorter time than I finished the thirteen miles of the Great North Run last September. So two miles more, and two minutes less. I honestly don't feel like I'm getting faster - the pace is a comfortable one - but maybe that's what being fitter is like; same exertion, better results. Not overthinking it though; for the rest of the day I am going to be basquing (there's an image....!) in the glory of a jog well done.
As part of my reward, it's time to finish off the top 100 list with the final twenty five...
Something About You (Level 42)
(My first live concert; Manchester Apollo with my best fwend at the time Matthew Findell.....felt like SUCH a grown up!)
Something Inside So Strong (Labi Siffre)
"The higher you build your barriers, the taller I become. The further you take my rights away, the faster I will run"
Somewhere Out There (Linda Lonstadt and James Ingram)
"Even though I know how very far apart we are, it helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star"
Stay (Alison Krauss)
"Come and sit for a while; I've missed your smile"
Suo Gan (James Rainbird)
(Taken from 'Empire Of The Sun'; another one that could well be a shopping list, but it sounds good!)
Take On Me (A-ha)
(Loved as much for the video as for the song; plus it was the first release from the band, and what an impact!)
Telstar (The Tornados)
(Just a top song!)
That's The Way It Is (Celine Dion)
"When life is empty with no tomorrow, and loneliness starts to call. Baby, don't worry, forget your sorrow, cause love's gonna conquer it all"
The Beep Beep Song (Simone White)
"Beat, beat, beat, beat, beat, beat, beat; goes my heart on the side of my sleeve"
The Windmills Of Your Mind (Noel Harrison)
"Like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel. Never ending or beginning, on an ever spinning reel"
Time In A Bottle (Jim Croce)
"If I had a box just for wishes, and dreams that have never come true. The box would be empty, except for the memory of how they were answered by you"
To Be Surprised (Sondre Lerche)
(Another one from 'Dan In Real Life'; SUCH a top movie!)
Tom's Diner (Suzanne Vega)...the original, not the remix!!
"I am thinking of your voice; and of the midnight picnic once upon a time before the rain began"
True Companion (Mark Cohn)
"Baby I've been searching like anybody else, can't say nothing different about myself. Sometimes I'm an angel and sometimes I'm cruel, but when it comes to you I'm just another fool"
Two Little Boys (Rolf Harris)......and it was all going to well......wasn't it??!
"Did you think I would leave you crying, when there's room on my horse for two. Climb up here, Jack and don't be crying; I can go just as fast with two."
Veronica (Elvis Costello)
"But she used to have a carefree mind of her own, with a devilish look in her eye. Saying "You can call me anything you like, but my name is Veronica""
Waiting For A Star To Fall (Boy Meets Girl)
"Trying to catch your heart, is like trying to catch a star. So many people love you baby, that must be what you are"
What Could Be Better (The Lighthouse Family)
"Somebody smiled at me like the sun"
What If I Loved You (Joey Gian)
"What if I held you tonight, and I made you feel oh so right? What if I loved you, would you always be mine?"
When You Say Nothing At All (Ronan Keating)
"All day long I can hear people talking out loud, but when you hold me near you drown out the crowd"
Where Do You Go To My Lovely (Peter Sarstedt)
"When the snow falls you're found in St Moritz, with the others from the jet set. Where you sip your Napoleon brandy, but you never get your lips wet; no you don't!"
Whoops Now (Janet Jackson)
(Just a very chirpy old song!)
Years From Now (Dr. Hook)
"I know this world that we live in can be hard now and then, and it will be again, many times we've been down. Still, love has kept us together; the flame never dies, when I look in your eyes, the future I see"
You'll Be In My Heart (Phil Collins)
"Why can't they understand the way we feel, they just don't trust what they can't explain"
You're Beautiful (James Blunt)
"My life is brilliant"
So that's it! Everything you wanted to know about my slightly questionable (slightly??!!) music collection, but were so afraid to ask, that you didn't ask....but I told you anyway. Looking back on it there is more than a slice or two of cheese (but may I say, high quality cheese) and several chucks of schmaltz.
Face?......bothered.....???!
42 days to go, and the penultimate subject of the month (half month in this case) to come. Can't wait canya?!!
