If you know me, you know I have quite an eclectic and very vast collection of music. You will also know that I'm never very far away from my ipod, which I normally put on shuffle once a day, and it usually unearths little gems that I had long forgotten about. Those of you who have followed me from the very beginning will know that I used to write a short blog on my Facebook page every week called "Unearthing Musical Gems" in which I shared those little gems.
It has been some time since I last did the last one, but I'm going to restart the series, here on this blog, in the hope that at least one song on the weekly list will resonate with you, be it taking you back to where you were when you first heard it and reliving some memories, or introducing you to some new music that you have never heard before. I'd love to hear from you if you'd like to leave comments to share your thoughts...
So, without further ado, I present this week's Five for Friday:
Time Is Running Out - Muse
YouTube iTunes
Spitfire - The Prodigy
YouTube iTunes
Beggin You (Armin Van Buuren remix) - Cerf, Mitiska & Jaren
YouTube iTunes
Gone To Pieces - Nik Kershaw
YouTube iTunes
Ms Jackson - Outkast
YouTube iTunes
I love all of the songs, but the one that stirs up the biggest memories for me is "Gone To Pieces" by Nik Kershaw. I love the lyrics to the song and can really identify with them at times! I remember listening to it when I was a youngster with one of my best friends at the time. We used to get together in the school holidays and "borrow" her big sister's cassette of it when she was out at work, and play it over and over. Good times!
I've included links to the songs on iTunes and YouTube (where I can) so you can have a listen.
Enjoy! Don't forget to share your thoughts...
