This Year’s Music

 

A strange year.

Thankfully there is always new music.

For those of you who are interested (and there will not be many) these have been my favourite ten new albums of 2020.

There are many I am sure I have forgotten, and most of you will disagree with these.

But anyway ….

(in no particular order)

 

Universal Want – Doves

Rough and Rowdy Ways – Bob Dylan

Song for Our Daughter – Laura Marling

Imploding the Mirage – The Killers

Beyond the Pale – Jarv is

Night Chancers – Baxter Dury

On Sunset – Paul Weller

American Head – Flaming Lips

Women in Music Part III – HAIM

Every Bad – Porridge Radio

Addiction

Addiction

.

The uncaring night will take me

And oppress me with its heat.

Leave me wide eyed and sleepless

In a tangle of tortured sheets.

.

Since you became my addiction

I have wanted no one else.

Only to see you dance before me

I have longed for nothing else.

.

The over bright dawn will find me

And burden me with its hope.

Leave me confused and restless

Tied up tightly in my own rope.

.

Since you became my addiction

I have wanted no one else.

Only to see you dance before me

I have longed for nothing else.

.

The relentless day will trap me

And unsight me with its glare.

Leave me wandering and helpless

Your distance has stripped me bare.

.

Since you became my addiction

I have wanted no one else.

Only to see you dance before me

I have longed for nothing else.

Past readers of this blog will recognise one of my favourite poems. I wrote it seven years ago in strange circumstances.
These addictions never stop …
