Re: This Playlist. The instrumental version of Please, please, please let me by The Smiths reminds me of being alone and wistful - not sad, just doing my thing and feeling small and humble in the world. All Flowers by Jeff Buckley makes me feel the same but more hopeful. All of the others have meaning too but that is for me to know...
I'd like to meet:

What I would like to see - magical, beautiful Aurora Borealis while in Iceland. It appeals to the romantic-scientist in me - I want to experience standing beneath them and filming this for myself. I love things that take my breath away, and nothing does that like natural phenomena.

Music:
Some songs you can map your life by - watch and learn - life slips by so quick, like sand through your fingers and then it is gonesome leadbelly just because the kids think when I sing his song, I made it up myselfSometimes you only have yourselfThis band changed me, they had the power to enter a young girls heart, mind, soul and body with their music. This video is the hottest video I have ever seen, the way Slash handles his guitar was enough to make me love a man in leather, and a guy with a cigarette hanging from his lips, with tattoos and of course, the essential bottle of J.D. - mmmhmmmmmmmA heavy metal heart rocks hard, cry hard, loves hard - give me a bottle of JD and some HM sounds over anything else for pleasureThis one was played more than any other in my bedroom - my cave of fugue, or as the door sign said 'WELCOME TO THE PLEASURE DEN" - Frankie also have a lot to answer for! Anyway, Axl's voice, when listened to in the dark, could lift and drop me in ways that no other music ever couldThis one shows the genius that is SLASH ~ holding his guitar as it cries ~ makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up and gives me goosebumpsI challenge anyone to show me something that beats this when it comes to raw energy ~ G 'n' R at the Freddie Mercury tribute gig in 1991 ~ Slash and Axl from 4:40 onwards ~ sexytime baby, yeah!!!!!This is the hottest vid made and the lyrics evolve beautifully ~ just listenIf I say I don't need anyone
I can say these things to you
'Cause
I can turn on any one
Just like I turned on you
I've got a tongue like a razor
A sweet switchblade knife
And I can do you favors
But then you'll do whatever I likeChorus:Here I am
And you're a Rocket Queen
I might be a little young
But honey I ain't naive
Here I am
And you're a Rocket Queen oh yeah
I might be too much
But honey you're a bit obsceneI've seen everything imaginable
Pass before these eyes
I've had everything that's tangible
Honey you'd be surprised
I'm a sexual innuendo
In this burned out paradise
If you turn me on to anything
You better turn me on tonightChorusI see you standing
Standing on your own
It's such a lonely place for you
For you to be
If you need a shoulder
Or if you need a friend
I'll be here standing
Until - the bitter end
No one needs the sorrow
No one needs the pain
I hate to see you
Walking out there
Out in the rain
So don't chastise me
Or think I, I mean you harm
Of those that take you
Leave you strung out
Much too far
Baby-yeahDon't ever leave me
Say you'll always be there
All I ever wanted
Was for you
To know that I careMy idols when I first got into them - 20 fucking years ago!! (Can it really be that long - wow!!)
Movies:
IMO this is the best Movie of all time - clips
Television:
I love this video - let me list the reasons
Bam is wearing an awesome sexy outfit and hat
When he does the windtunnel there is a nice shot of that stomach - yum
His little boy face when he cries over the snake - aw
His eyes, his face - oh, he is just Bam ok!
That move to get out - now that is sexy
The gay little skip when he jumps off the van
OOOH at the whole package - my kind of man - yummmeeee
Books:
Charlie is a baddie but most of these vids are funnyFunny Videos
Heroes:
My Kids and not just because they happen to be my children but because I have never seen them as anything small, but the hugest thing ever to come along into my life. Since the day they arrived they have amazed me more than oooh a star shower, a tornado driven by hugs, a babbling brook full of sparkles - they have all of my respect, and my life is the richest it could ever be because they just happened to get me as a mummy - I am blates luckier than anyone else on the planet.
Reasons? Ok
Linzi ~ she is the wisest person I know, she sees through all of the rubbish and straight to the heart of anything. She may be one hyper little dudette but her approach to all that is real and genuine is so calm and well balanced, she is like the Oracle to me. She makes me laugh so much it's probably dangerous and she is my best friend in that she is always loyal, full of hugs, full of life and love - if you know her you know what it is to be charmed and delighted
James - he is my little man, yet here he is growing up. He is the most laid back person I have ever known, he may appear to be shy but he is quietly taking in everything, measuring people up but not to judge you - just like a cat he really doesn't need to bother himself. He is smart without shoving it down your throat, because he doesn't need to let you know. However, this kid is so much of a champion and he knows what is fair, what is right and moral. He has a great sense of justice as well as a big heart - he and Linzi really are so similar but lots of people who do not look properly miss this which makes us all smile.
