Oh my god, I used to just love this song ( you can listen here if you’re a noob to it) As I listen back to the words and melody, I am immediately transported to my art college days. Where, in order to get over my shyness and the fact that I was surrounded by people, I used to listen to music constantly. My favourite at the time was anything Motown. I just loved the beat. It kept me calm and the lyrics were always so heart-bracingly, beautiful and catchy too. At the time I had a boyfriend, and being a teenager, the affair was tumultuous. The trials and tribulations of my love life, could be written as a screenplay and I may just get round to that at some point (although I could really do with a ghost writer so I can recall and they can do the writing, lazy I know? - putting it into the universe just for laters sake)
Anyway, I digress. My heart, at the time, belonged to my first ever “proper” boyfriend. He was sultry, moody and a musical type. My parents hated him, and as you can imagine, this made me love him more. But he wasn’t the cause of my broken heart. The relationship I had with him drove me into the arms of the first real love of my life.
