Thirty Days of Music, Day Twenty Nine

I FORGOT.

At practically the last hurdle I completely forgot to do a daily entry for this series. Way to restore balance to the universe.

Well we’d better quickly get caught up hadn’t we?

Day 29: A song you remember from your childhood

2020: “Lust For Life”, Iggy Pop

Bouncing about on the bed at this, the opening track to one of those Essential Soundtracks CDs put out by Film4, and going so high I’d make the disc jump and skip about. Good times.

2025: “Sunflower”, Paul Weller

Thanks to the rose-tinted spectacles of childhood, this is comfortably a top five Paul Weller song for me. The opening riff never fails to make me warm and smiley, nor does the exemplary drumwork from Steve White. Would’ve gone apeshit if he’d played this when I saw him at the O2 in Newcastle last year. But we got three encores instead so it all balances out.

Right, be with you with the final part of this series in a bit.
