Good Evening Everyone :-) :-) <3

:-D :-D :-DLiz!

Thank you for posting from my favourite era! But really funny, because the lyrics- "there she goes with her nose in the air" is very appropriate for me this week! :-D :-D

I spent 3 & 1/2 hrs in A&E Monday night! My great heffalump of a grandson charged through the door as I was about to go out of it from the other side! Smack into my nose!

They said they didn't think it was broken, but my nose was very swollen and bruised, and so were my eyes.

It's starting to go down now thankfully. I had visions of looking like Princess Anne :-D :-D :-D :-D


Hiya Rhys :-)
That made me smile :-D

Was wondering what your little red box was Jem. Too cloudy to see the eclipse up here which was a shame, it's a long time to the next one!!

Hope your nose is healing and the pain and swelling has abated a bit.xx

This is their Eurovision Entry. The presenter however gets the girls mixed up. NICKI STEVENS is actually the brunette and Sandra Stevens (no relation) is the blonde.

I was in the same Grammar School, at the same time, as Nicki - real name Helen Thomas. She was a Sixth Form Prefect when I was in Form 1 (Year 7)
I watched her rise to fame with interest. She also appeared on Opportunity Knocks.

Good Evening Everyone :-) :-) <3

I enjoyed both of those songs :-)

Rhys, sort of folky sound to that :-)

Prickles, I didn't know Johnny Mathis sang "Unbreak My Heart"! :-)

I laughed a t the video though. Diamonds are forever, but the men were proposing etc with QVC DIAMONIQUE! :-D

Those green boxes with a white ribbon are what the TV Shopping Channel use for their Man-Made Diamonds. I have quite a few, as I got quite hooked on the shopping channels for a while :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Why.........Annie Lennox

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HG7I4oniOyA

I love this song..........but I have no idea how the video connects to the lyrics of the song!

Prickles, Great Song :-)

The video may be to do with her getting ready for her first Solo Performance following her split from Dave Stewart and Eurythmics.


This is C&Pd from SongFacts

In November 2007, Annie Lennox was interviewed extensively by Malcolm Bragg on The South Bank Show.

In this program she said that "Why," which was her first solo release, was a personal song related to her going solo; she wasn't sure that she could write songs by herself, or where she was going in music or in life. It took her about 10 minutes to write. "It's weird," she added, "Some songs are like that, while others are not."

Annie Lennox blogged regarding this song, when promoting her 2009 greatest hits album: "I think this song expresses something of a sense of 'I need to take a stand, and say this.' It's almost testifying, like 'My Way,' or something. The world can be so baffling at times, so you find yourself constantly trying to figure it out.... It's also about looking at the aftermath of things. After all this darkness and disappointment with the personal battles you've gone through...Contemplating the ashes of experience, and questioning what it was ever all about. It's like the remains of a building that's crashed and burned to the ground."
