Tracey Chapman is brilliant and that album is fantastic.

My favourite track


And when you fall back into the mud it hurts a lot.
No! None of it was true, none of those things we thought we could see existed at all.
All that was really there was still more misery

Oh mah days, as da yoot probably don’t say now. That album, apart from being quality, just brings back my life in the early and mid-80s. Bittersweet memories. Probably more bitter than sweet.

Back to those days, something it’s taken me a long time to think fondly of again is Prefab Sprout’s ‘Steve McQueen’, because of the associations. My ex-wife’s mother’s cousin’s son (my ex’s second cousin?) bought us the album, and I thought WTF. ‘Stupid name and poseurs on the album cover. But it grew and grew on me. Thanks Stuart if by some miracle you’re reading this.

Appropriately given what eventually happened, I’ve picked this track:


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Never really got in to Tracy Chapman apart from her singles which of course you couldn't help but admire

As for Prefab Sprout though.... loved them from the first hearing

When my dad died I'd just gone through a break up and was working for VW.... their single Cars and Girls just seemed so poignant and still does

They were right.... some things hurt more, much more than cars and girls

Their lead singer Paddy McAloon was also at Newcastle Poly at the same time I was so always liked that tenuous link to them... although he probably never acknowledges he was there with me!

That is a cracking song Chris. Can't believe it's 30 years old.

Which reminds me of another song...

I enjoyed that one Ginny. His voice reminded me of Johnny Cash.
