Okay, this is going to be fast. My two month old has me occupied and I cannot get away for more than a few minutes at a time. He won't sleep. He is otherwise well, well fed, changed, swaddled and was even sung to sleep and now, an hour later, it has been the battle of the binky. If you don't know what that is, I won't explain it now. I'll explain it another time.
After I sung him to sleep, I was going to post on my FB status something about patting myself on the back for singing 'Rock-a-bye Baby' so well that we fell asleep. I mean, I can sing. But I always found it difficult to sing in front of people solo. But now I was going to brag about my alto voice and how I have nothing to be shy about singing for my babies. I sing 'Edelweiss, 'Twinkle Twinkle', Depeche Mode's 'Somebody'...And before I could post all that, he woke again.
So anyway, Erasure is the very first band that I actually purchased music from. I think it was 1988 and my classmate Antoinette let me listen to them. I left her house deciding I would have to buy this tape ('The Innocents') for myself. Later this same classmate bought me the record (yes, vinyl) for R.E.M.'s 'Green'.
I listened to 'Stay With Me' earlier today to help me with this post. Before today, I don't recall listening to it since...I don't know. Don't let that fool you into thinking I don't care about this CD. It is actually quite the opposite - I love this song and after hearing it again, I recall playing this song over and over again. I know the words, like I do most Erasure songs, and I feel the emotion again like I did before.
More to come...
