Life in a Northern Town by The Dream Academy
“Ok, please bear with me, as I work through the symmetry of this choice; thanks to @ShirleyWainwright (aka The Lodger) we've been having a lot of Nick Drake's music around...or rather been playing "Pink Moon" by Teddy Thompson and Krystle Warren loads (the previous, previous jam). So I chose Dream Academy's Life in a Northern Town which is about Nick Drake (skipping past the glaring geographical error that Tanworth-in-Arden (Nick D's home town) is NOT a northern town)) and enjoyed the video of Dream Academy (filmed outside Huddersfield FFS) and noting that the beautiful Kate St John,who was one third of Dream Academy, is also the beautiful Kate St John playing oboe on Pink Moon by Teddy Thompson and Krystle Warren. Enjoy the symmetry, enjoy the lovely Kate St John, enjoy both!”

Sleepy earlier than usual.
Something ethereal is in order.

"And though he never would wave goodbye. You could see it written in his eyes. As the train rolled out of sight, bye-bye"

Today's game: trying to spot all the Northern stereotypes employed by the video's director. Cobbled streets - check, bleak rainswept vistas - check etc

A Salvation Army band played And the children drank lemonade And the morning lasted all day, all day And through an open window came Like Sinatra in a younger day
These are my towns, villages and hills in the north of England. My heart weeps at their stark beauty and warmth of people.
