We have been talking today about how we would do 'the story of a relationship' as a theme for a show. It could be great fun but hard to get the texts and calls in on time to tell the next chapter of the 'story'.
Paul has pointed out that all my suggestions of a closing song ( All By Myself, It's Over) presume that all relationships end up in heartache and pain. Oh, he's so young. His time will come...
Morag in Edinburgh has come up with some good suggestions for this theme and they are a lot more optimistic than mine:
Baby let me take you home - the Animals
Will you - Hazel O'Connor (great song - just full of the feel of
teenage longing and anticipation, all about the point a relationship
turns serious)
I need your love so bad - Pete Green's Fleetwood Mac
Going to the Chapel - The Crystals
Wonderful tonight - Eric Clapton (if I hear the lyrics right, all
about a drunk but affectionate man relying on his wife to drive him
home from a party! How many songs are there about that sort of basic
stuff from a marriage?)
You could then go down the route towards D.I.V.O.R.C.E. but lets be
optimistic -
Love is only sleeping - the Monkees
Lets stick together - Bryan Ferry
Together again - Jools Holland
