I came to write this post, all excited as I thought I was going to feature someone new to these pages, and therefore hopefully to you too. But it turns out I posted a different song by the same artist, from the same album, back in July in 2022.
Jesus, my memory…
Anyway, this time it’s different, as this morning’s tune also features Shaela Miller on guest vocals. Shaela hasn’t featured here before, so I could’ve posted something by her instead, but you know what it’s like when you get a song stuck in your head, right?
For example, earlier this week, I had a line from what I subsequently remembered was Swallowed by Bush kicking round my head. It took me hours to recall what song it was (I have a rule: I can only Google something I don’t know, not something that I just can’t remember. What song a lyric is from falls into the latter category: I know the song, I know the lyric, but my brain hasn’t managed to meld them together just yet).
When my brain finally kicked into gear (“Oh, is this what you’re looking for….?”), I can’t pretend I wasn’t a little bit disappointed. Actually, I was furious. Bush??? The bloke who’s more famous for not being married to Gwen Stefani anymore than he is for any of his actual creative output? That guy? That’s who wrote the lyric which has been twisting my melon all day? Sheesh.
A day or so later, I found myself thinking: what was that lyric I couldn’t remember or get out of my head the other day? And so we go round again.
Jesus, my memory….
So before I forget to post it, here’s John Wort Hannam and Shaela Miller going all Lee and Nancy circa Jackson:

More soon. If I remember.
