Introducing Rumer

-
Last week as we were driving home from the IOW, this tune was playing on Radio 2 on Ken Bruce, I was mesmerised by the melodious, crystal clear voice which immediately reminded me of Karen Carpenter...

I have just found it on Youtube and the song is her/their debut single to be released 28 August

I hope you like it....I luv it!

    An effortlessly beautiful voice, and love the song too. How wonderful that here is a recording without frills...no riffs, no screaming background, no oversexed writhing dancers or intricate phoney stories expensively filmed to make up for lack of content and talent.

    Lovely. Oh and Saz...tried out the tv/cd and of course it works perfectly.

    Wow, I AM impressed. It's been a long time since I heard music I actually LIKE. Yes, Karen Carpenter, definitely.

    I hate to appear dense, but...is this Demi Moore's daughter?

    I heard her interviewed by Chris Evans the other morning, and the song is fantastic. She seemed a lovely lady, and I hope the rest of her work is a melodious and beautiful as this.

    I am loving that song, too. I also thought it was an old Karen Carpenter, but no. Did you notice that Ken played a Carpenter tune a bit later to compare because so many people had said it sounded like her? (I've been varnishing and painting for a fortnight - Radio 2 is my soundtrack to decorating)

Loneliness...

is next to god awfulness. l enjoyed my London trip on so many levels. Though particularly because I had time to suit myself, time away from pressure of work, time away from the kids, all types of timetables. Time away from decision making, which I abhor with a passion! Sometimes, though thankfully not often when l am alone. Sitting in a coffee shop. Or in line in the bank or supermarket. Waiting in the car in line for the car park. Usually alone waiting. I get the heebee jeebee's. In plain speak a panic or anxiety attack. It comes in the form of a butterfly fluttering in my chest, a screaming in my head. Silent screaming. But I feel the noise. White noise. That drives darkness through the day like a knife through butter. It lasts but a few moments, but a dry fear stays a while. Remaining hidden amongst the layers of feelings and experiences we call life. Whilst walking alone through the streets of London, it lurked. Unacknowledged. Invisible. Whilst feeling the beat of the city...

On my way to work - Monochrome Monday

Monochrome Monday hosted by Aileni As it is very frosty and cold I am driving to work, shameful, yes, as its only 1.75 miles uphill down hill in nose to tail traffic. I park in the nearest car park, courtesy of the City Council, a perk of the job. Thank you very much. And this is what l see on my short walk from car park to work! silhouette of castle gate looking back over my shoulder where l have walked from the very ineffectual Millennium Bridge this is the entrance to the underpass, which takes us under the dual carriageway that separates the Castle from the city, the Museum and Cathedral this is the underpass decorated with old local industrial machinery and the Cursing Stone produced for the Millennium and inscribed with a centuries old curse it receives the wrath of locals as it is considered the cause of all our recent ills, Foot & mouth and the Floods the marble floor containing prominent local and Reiver's name the Whispering Wall, solid glass brick, come alive with...
