The weekend is flying by at an alarming pace! It’s almost Monday here in England which means we all go back to the grindstone! So I am going to make the most of the rest of today by ringing my sister and going for a shuffle (that’s how I would describe my attempts to jog!)
You may have noticed that I have already published a post today for SONG-LYRIC-SUNDAY. But I am going to post a second, because I don’t believe anyone has featured it today and I would like to introduce you to a band I used to love as a teenager.
Jim Adams, aka Newepicauthor, the creator of A Unique Title For Me, is hosting SONG-LYRIC-SUNDAY and this week he has chosen the theme: BIRD/FLY/SKY/WING
Have you ever heard of Echobelly? Did you ever go and see them live? If you did, then you will know why they were one of my favourite bands. I loved their live sound, probably more than their studio recordings.
And I thought their lead singer had a great voice. She was an absolute pleasure to listen to. At the time there were some interesting male voices on the scene. From the rough and ready end who slurred the lyrics, to the electro-tweaked shrieky voices. I loved female voices setting off tracks that were indulgent in heady guitar riffs. It really was music to the ears!
The track I have chosen is one of their lesser known songs perhaps. But it qualifies for today’s SONG-LYRIC-SUNDAY theme. This is “Worms and Angels”
Here and now, we are alone
Time, she will hold her breath
Only the worms and angels
Know our names
But they have not found us
Although they surround us
I feel the distance closing
Come along, for you and I know
We’ve lived through the centuries
We’ve ridden the darkest horses
All our lives
We hunted our enemies
We fought with a fallacy
It’s time we were all God’s children
Far away, the galaxies soar
The stars are exploding still
I wish we could fly away
Fly away
Here and now, for you and I know
That true love is deathless
These crumbling days are ending
By my side
Let’s walk in the garden
We’ll sleep in the ivy
We’ll be with the worms and angels
I came back from Australia with all these wonderful things I want to tell you about my trip there and my time with Goldfinch, and yet for some strange reason I still have not really sat down to write about what was one of the highlights of my life! I was sooooooo happy there with him!!! It’s all stored up in my mind and heart and I am sure it will eventually leak out into my posts. I think I have selfishly been enjoying the euphoria and contentment he breathed into me, before I share it with the WordPress world. Perhaps in someways in my head, I am still over there with him 🙂
Instead something else has been occupying my attention. You may have noticed that I responded to a writing prompt from Kim, the creator of 
I have not published anything for the last few days because I really wanted to make sure I concentrated on how to finish this story. I have grown to care so much about that happens to Annabelle. She is not going to have a Disney princess ending, I promise you that. But I am going to finish her story on a positive. Why on earth would we want to read anything with a miserable ending? I now know how it’s going to go! It feels great to know what is going to happen. I have three more posts scheduled for next week. Then I am going to give my attention to the grand finale!
I was very nervous about a long project. Personally I think blogging on WordPress is more suited to shorter posts, entertaining or interesting or just plain delightful posts. I didn’t think anyone would have an interest in me focusing attention a long story about a fictional character. But it turns out that’s what most of us have been reading for donkey’s years!
…and I have lost track of how many lovely comments I have received encouraging me to keep on developing Annabelle’s story! But thank you so much to everyone who has given me the impetus to continue. It’s one of the most satisfying things I have done since I started blogging. I am looking forward to tweaking the last few parts so that they nicely tie up the story lines for Annabelle and the other characters in her story.

I wonder if Taylor Swift will be there! They have let me in on the private joke amongst all Londoners who are scratching their heads wondering why on earth she would be having nights out in Brixton). I don’t go to see the bands I used to like twenty years ago. That was then. That’s not who I am today. Still, I don’t mind giving some of those tunes a spin occasionally.
The song I have chosen features the word “fly” or as you will hear in the song “flyyyyyyyyy”! The first time I heard this song, it was my brother who was playing it. Then I saw the video on a music show on television. It caught my attention. The band, Oasis, caught a lot of people’s attention. Very quickly they gained enormous popularity here in the UK. There is still an entire generation of men who seem to model their wardrobe, speech and attitude on the infamous Gallagher brothers. (It’s rather old for me nowadays, can’t be putting up with that nonsense.)
