I‘d like to dedicate this song to my ex-employer, who I have given the height of my working-force for nearly a decade. Only to be told, to start looking for something else when productivity-drops and health issues crept in. But you know: Someday I’ll be warm again, Someday back in form again...

Because people today have been conditioned to worship musak. Anything deep, intellectual, funny, quirky and actually "musical" is verbotin. Give them a music vid of a "star" dancing in front of a bunch of professional dancers, making lots of rap signs (to show they are down with the kids) and that is all they ask. More than 2 brain cells engaged with music with leave little room for the other 20 brain cells to engage with Instagram, Faceache and Twatter.

I saw the actual video for this a few days ago, couldn’t stop humming the tune but couldn’t quite make out the lyrics (I’m deaf in one ear). I bought it on iTunes this morning, but even through my hi-fi I still couldn’t quite catch them properly. This video has made me realise what an absolutely fantastic song this is! It’s a fantastic song made by artisans.

The more I listen to this song, the better it gets. For the first time since the album was released, I think I have a favorite!! 😁 Isn't that how music should be? You instantly love it, than it grows even more on you? Only very few songs have done that to me. During my nearly 60 years I think it at the MOST can be 15 songs all together. Of them I can say that (except from the whole original 'Big Beat' album, which I couldn't stand as a teen, now learned to LOVE 💖) SPARKS has made the great majority. How I love these guys and their music 🥰😍💓💗💖 👌 💖💖💖💖 Edit: I think that I expressed myself vageuly about 'Big Beat'. I exclude that album. I hated it as a teen. When I rediscovered Sparks a couple of years ago, I learned to listen to it through the additional songs on the extended version, which I immediately liked a lot. Not as I felt about almost the rest of Sparks songs, but they were good. (Now I would drop dead if someone told me that 'Gone With The Wind' was erased from the Earth 😂😂). I slowly came to like the album, which grow more and now I have it on my top 10, which in fact has about 15 albums, which alters by my mood for the moment. What can I say? I'm a woman, I'm entitled to change my mind and be unpredictable, when I chose to 😉😉😉😉😘😂 🐈Meeoow! 😻Prrrrr!
