This Week's Music

This week, I have been mostly listening to...

Actually, it's been a couple of weeks since I bought these now, got the whole albums from iTunes. I love iTunes, and my iPod, and my Mac, and Apple. Oh dear. I don't want to think about how much of my money they now have and will continue to receive. Might as well set up some kind of automatic payout from my wages every month. Think they do direct debits?

Anyway, from the album Back to Bedlam, by the lovely James Blunt, we have...

Tears and Rain which is rather beautiful, if a little regretful, as with most of the tracks I've been enjoying from this album, and I have to admit, I've been singing along in the car to them.

The ubiquitous, yet no less great You're Beautiful, currently number one I hear (I really should be more in touch with these things), a sad little song about a life that never will be. And on to a song about a life that will never be the same again, Goodbye My Lover. That one has a lot of resonance for me, very end of relationship depression type stuff, but wonderful none the less.

Well, I was going to mention Royksopp too, but it's late, so I'll cover them tomorrow.
