(Had to check it was still morning then, I'm always doing that). True story; when I used to do the afternoon shows at Hospital Radio, I used to do the jingly intro, lift the mic up and always, ALWAYS without fail say "Good Morning!". The thing is with radio is obviously it's live so you can't really re do it and it got so bad that my chief in command, Stewart started writing "GOOD AFTERNOON" whilst my mic was on and then shoved the paper in my face.
Ah well....
I feel like writing a post today as I feel like I've got the energy, after having a few days of payback from exams where I literally feel like I'm in the body of an 80 year old.. Fun times. I'm currently in the coolest room in the house as if you don't live in England you may not know that we're having a massive heatwave at the moment. Us Brit's love a bit of sun as much as the next sun-denied person, but you should also know that as much as we moan when it rains, we're not used to the sun in excess either, so you can't win really.
Anyway, with the breeze pleasantly reminding me that I'm not in a massive oven, I've been listening to a singer that I can remember absolutely loving when I was about 16 and that's Nina Nesbitt. I always do this thing when I find a singer or a band that I love. What I do is: listen to them and only them, for a solid week, (or maybe even two or three if I really feel like I haven't heard anything like them before) before going back to my normal ways until a few days pass and this process happens again with another band or artist.
It's like as soon as I hear something that I like or that's a little bit different to what I've heard before, I have to dedicate my time completely emersing myself in it, rather like that scene out of 'The Vicar of Dibley' where Dawn French completely emerses herself in that chocolate fountain. That was me with Nina Nesbitt's music when I was 16 and it's so weird as I haven't really listened to it since. It was only when skipping through songs 'I may like' on Spotify that her album 'Peroxide' flashed up and then I found some of her other singles and I remember listening to this one song repeatedly, that being 'Way in the world'.
I remember really relating to the lyrics a few years ago and I think there's stages where I still feel the same, especially as a young person. Whereby you may be doing something, studying or a job, that you like but in the monotony of it sometimes you forget that this isn't your whole life, it's just a stepping stone to where you want to be and this song is all about that. Kind of clinging on to your original dreams whilst you're in the process of trying to reach them.
I think I like this idea so much as, I think everyone has felt a little bit like they're drifting or plodding on at some point and before you know it things change and you're doing what you want. It just takes time.
Look at me talking like I've got it all figured out, when I still haven't mastered how regularly I should re apply suncream..
Love,
