The Sure Thing

I have known these men for many years now. I can still hear he faint and distant echoes from the pubs and the clubs where we sat and pondered the intricate mysteries that is life. The girls, the music, the movies and the politics. But years pass. You approach the dreaded thirties and your body is writing cheques your soul can't cash. The society puts the pressure upon you; job, career, kids, a spacious semi-detached somewhere in the outer suburbs. No more bingeing, no more loose numbers.
The only thing that fundamentally remains the same is the search for the perfect pop song. The Sure Thing picks up where The Lord Henrys left us - with a statement: There must be more to life than this.
Pop music is first and foremost a way to cope with life; a way to handle both joy and disappointment. And I can't think of a better way to enhance the joy or, for that matter, comfort the sadness than listening to The Sure Thing. Give it a try. And keep reaching for that rainbow...
