Thirty Days of Music, Day Seven

Thirty Days of Music, Day Seven

Sunday, Sunday, here again. And I’m low-key proud of myself for actually managing to do this consistently, normally I’d have given this up by about day four. Anyway, let’s stop before going on a tangent and see what we need to choose today.

Right. Well I’ll preface this by saying that I am not happy with 2020 me chose back in the day.

Day 7: A song to drive to

2020: “Judas”, Fozzy

Oh deary me. Well I did say I had a casual relationship with wrestling and it definitely came into play here. Fozzy singer Chris Jericho was one of the top guys in fledgling promotion All Elite Wrestling at the time and his self-sung theme song was one of this defining features. And it’s not bad, it is definitely a song that you can drive to. It’s just that there are a million billion other better options.

On that note, let me consult my playlist full of driving songs titled ‘Roadblock’.

2025: “Perfect Me”, Blossoms

You may recall I gave “Perfect Me” a moment of praise back in September as it had been a genuine highlight of my time doing the Tuesday Breakfast show on Spark Sunderland. It was always fun to make an hour of the programme more indie-oriented with Fontaines D.C, Sam Fender and Inhaler and what have you. But Blossoms was the cherry on the cake, and “Perfect Me” was a song that never failed to make me smile. I hope it was the same for the listeners that were driving into work on those Tuesday mornings, whether they be on the move or stuck in traffic. A good way to brighten things up for a few minutes.
