I was recently reminded of this song when I was having dinner in The King Neptune Restaurant in Newcastle. Among the other piped music that was playing in the background, which included some real drivel, this wonderful song captured my attention and I was reminded of how much I loved it. Needless to say I downloaded it to my ipod and played in on the train back to London.
In the course of my work I am often sent to Edinburgh, Newcastle, Glasgow and so on as the company I am working with at the moment has over 40 different locations. Over the last five years I have visited most of them from as far afield as Inverness to Lymington and I have been away from home for a good deal of time.
When I used to read stories about rock stars on tour getting bored with hotels and eating out daily I used to feel shocked and say ‘I would never tire of such a thing’ but the reality is (having done it for long) that I miss my family very much each time I go away and now every city centre and every hotel pretty much looks like each other! I will often turn a corner looking for a shop or a restaurant only to realise it’s in a completely different town.
It is, however, comforting to sometime hear a song being played that reminds me of home or some fun time in that past that only music can remind you of. This is one such song. I hope you enjoy it…..
Now listen to the song…..
