This song reminds me of Romford and working there for a year back in 1998.
At the time I had put my career as an actor on the back burner and had taken a job with Lloyds Stockbrokers in 1997 in London following which I moved to Romford where I worked for another city firm, which had an office on
St. Edward’s Way. As I was living in Loughton at the time I had to get the tube to Stratford and then get the train to Romford which was quite a long and tedious journey and so I invested in a Sony Walkman and recorded my favourite songs onto cassettes for the journey.
As I started working there in the winter and the mornings were dark and rainy (having had to get up earlier than usual to do the commute) I found myself making tapes of what I considered to be more soft and more harmonic songs and so this ended up on one of my ‘playlists’ as I began to listen again to music from the 1980s and play the songs that I had never listened to on these records previously. This was a firm favourite and as I sat listening to this on the way home for a brief moment I was transported back to the 1980s and buying ‘Quiet Life’ and listening to this for the first time.
Now listen to the song…
