GO OLD EARLY...

Chris Evans | 14:56 UK time, Thursday, 23 October 2008

It's not what you think alright...

... I'm gonna see this guy tonight, who twenty years ago looked thirty years older than he was. I used to think, "poor fella."

The thing is, now he doesn't look any older where as the rest of us all look terrible by comparison.

So, go old early, that's today's message. This theory can be applied to other aspects of life but that's for another blog.

    Greetings CLP And ALL Blog Friendly Operatatives,

    Bingo Star ere.......

    Terdee am sorry but a wanter share with you one of me many songs ave writted.
    I wrote this song one night when I awoke at 3am while left alone in an apartment in Ukraine after falling out with my fiancee, Inna.
    I couldn't get back ter sleep and suddenly all the lyrics started ter flow inter me 'ead. That's 'ead without an aych... Bye, sorry by now regular readers of this very nice blog will now, sorry know, it means as much if noot slightly more than 'ead with an aych.
    So I jumped outta bed and started ter write for 45 minutes.... and this is what a writted......

    My heart is so lonely inside,
    My heart is so lonely inside,
    My heart is so lonelyyyyyyyyy.. inside……

    My heart is so lonely inside…
    As I lock myself inside,
    And from the cruel world… outside….. I hide,
    I’M so lonely I can’t even motivate myself….. to play my guitar, to play my guitarrrrr.

    (NO CHORUS HERE - Instrumental Bridge/ middle 8 (but not in the exact middle))

    But I tell myself…. It’ not to late… to find herrrrr,
    Just be patient and wait…. she’s out therrrrrre,
    So I travel the world…. to find… herrrrr,
    Travel so far, travel so farrrrrr.

    (CHORUS #1)
    She will see… how much… she’ll mean to me,
    She will see… how much… she’ll mean to me,
    She will see… how much… she’ll mean to meeeeeee.

    Then I do…. I found you.....
    As I look into her beautiful big blue eyes…..
    And at her long dark hair….. I feel her become my world,
    And my lonely heart starts to…. Repairrrrr.

    (CHORUS #2)
    Can she see… how much… she means to me,
    Can she see… how much… she means to me,
    Can she see… how much… she means to meeeeeee.

    I start to realise how much… I need you,
    Then just as I start… to fall for you,
    Then she leaves me and my world, and my heart,
    And my heart…. falls..... in twwwooooo.
    And my heart…. falls….. appartttttttttttt.

    (CHORUS #3)
    Can’t she see… how much… she means to me,
    Can’t she see… how much… she means to me,
    Can’t she see… how much… she means to meeeeeee.

    Can’t she see, what it’s like to beee, in my shoes,
    Always looking….. for lovvvvveee.... always looking.
    Can’t she see, our hearts were just awakin‘,
    Now they’re only breakin’,
    Can’t she see, our hearts were just awakin’,
    Now they’re only breakin’,
    Can’t she see, our hearts were just awakin’,
    Now…… only breakinnnnnnnn’.


    Anyone gotta a tissue... a need one!!!! PS This line ain't part of the song!! Although it could be - do what ever yer want wit musical interludes - know what am sayin'!!

    Now a know it might sound like a depressing tune. But I 'aven't put it to music yet. But when a do I think it could be a song that the first two verses start off in minor key. A bit sad but then it builds into something uplifting/ positive. Then the final verse, although sad, more of a philosphical sound... middle of the road sound... In fact I could imagine the final verse fitting in perfectly with Chris Martin singing it to the music of their latest single 'Lost'. That kind of feel - know what am sayin'!!! Check out 'Lost' from their latest album Livin' La Vida Loca and you'll see whatta mean all !!!!.
    As for me singing it... am not sure all if am that good a singer... but when a do try ter stretch the lungs.. ave nooticed a sound similar ter the Snow Patrol singer Gary Lightbody!!!! A quietly spoken, slightly depressive but dulcet pleasant tone! Perfect for friendly but sad, emotive, passionate songs!

    Tatty bye... snuffle, snuffle!

    Big Chief CLP, wise words indeed . . .hmmmm


    So here we go on another dreary dozy drizzly day in the North’s capital city . . . At least its thirsty-Thursday and boy am I tempted by the golden glass tonight.
    In these dark wintry times, thoughts turn to the warmth of the hearth, the glow of the coals and the hubbub of good conversation in a stupendously cosy pub – and so, ‘tis with gusto and a hearty smile that we muster the energy, pull on the jackets and scarves - and make the tortuous journey, across fields, through evening traffic and to THE PUB QUIZ . .
    Your starter question for 10: What are the chances of me, lowly old me, getting my ARF on tomorrow???

    Bingo - u are a genius! Loving your work!

    As for the old thing - have always looked older than i am...in fact have never ever been id`d for alcohol....must to my disgust when i was only 16 (oh the youth!)

    Have hit my perfect age now though i reckon...out with sis and got asked the other week who was the elder sister ... me having 3 yrs on her guess who was the one grinning like a cheshire cat all afternoon?!

    Oh, and the advantage of being a larger type lady as you get older...no wrinkles! my Mum, size 10 and loads of em bless her soul...my Aunty, size 18 and not one in sight..and only a yr younger!

    Now...where did i put that chocolate...

    CLP - it's weird y'know, but having just turned 40 I see some of my peers and think "Blimey, they look old - do I look that old?" or "ooh she hasn't worn well .... do I look like that?"

    I think men have it harder than us gals for ageing. Many friends of the male variety have started to lose their hair in their 20s, or go grey earlier than their female counterparts.

    I say just embrace whatever life chucks your way, chuck! Fat, thin, bald, hairy, curvy .. whatever. Just embrace it. If you can't love yourself then nobody else will love you either ;-)

    DtM - as much as I love Alice (tattoo coming in Feb!!!) I have another ARF request which I shall post seperately as it may get lost in this diatribe.

    Bingo - are you alright sweetie??? I think Tinsel's got a point .... Sir Andrew: are you out there????

  • Comment number 8.

    Interesting blog. My philosophy is "age is no excuse"..... meaning as we get older saying we're too old to do something is not acceptable (in my opinion), you either want to do it or don't want to.......

  • Comment number 9.

    sort of age related .... I can't believe how LOUD my cat is snoring right now. Even with Countdown on, and me sitting here tippy-tapping away at the keyboard, it's like being in a room full of sherry-filled nans on Christmas afternoon!

    ark at her go ......

  • Comment number 10.

    That's a strange post CLP, trying to think if I know anyone like that and I don't to be honest.

    I've had people tell me that I look younger than 35 before, I was asked for ID three years ago which was hilarious.

    Bless you Bingo matey, hope that you are alright.

    ......LM's first wobbly tooth ever has just come out into his cheese sandwich!

    It's not exciting for anyone else I know LOL.

    My little boy is growing up. *sigh*

    Crumbs - I come out to play and you are on to the next blog!

    Go Bingo - mop up your tears and go in search of Andrew Lloyd!! Presume you are back with Inna now?

    Mr B always looked older than he was so he is like guy you are seeing tonight clp -looked thirty something for ages - and as I am older got really cross when folk thought I was younger!!

    Like you Scoob - exactly - could always get in to the pics/aclofrilly/cigs etc when I was too young for any of that stuff - prob cos I was tall for my age. Now skinny sis 3 years younger - me - how did you put it - larger type - she's got the wrinkles and looks older! gets really miffed about it too!! hehe.

    Diva did you email clp about Jeni and her bean jumping out?

    Go Old early?

    We seem to live in a world these days obsessed with age looks etc.
    You can't possibly win the X factor for example unless you look like a million dollars!
    Don't worry about the musical talent etc etc.

    The X factor is great early on with the funny auditions but it really is becoming very dull.
    Wouldn't it be great to have a real talent show which musicans and not manaquins took part.


    Bingo some great lines in your song, thanks I enjoyed reading.

    B-sMum - sure did! about lunch time.

    If someone asked me for ID to prove I was old enough to buy plonk I think I would quite literally kiss their face!

    Oh and another thing - did anyone see Trinny and Tranny on The One Show last night? The pretty one (Triny?) looks like she's had lip plumpers injected. Too much. Over plumped. Not nice.

  • Comment number 15.

    Bingo - do you want me to try and write some music for it? I think you need at least 2 key changes towards the end to make it even more emotional! Love it!

    I think I know one or two folks like CLP's mates who have grown into their looks. And I agree, in some ways it's harder for blokes who can't do anything about the baldy bits and the gunmetal grey. Please don't dye though! I thought Ricky Gervaise looked ridiculous on Jonathan Ross last week with his auburn barnet. And as for Paul McCartney... don't get me started!

    CtD, love the idea of being on sofa with fire on with a snoring cat and watching countdown! A nice sherry wouldn't go amiss either!

    Cheryl the funniest thing is that a few years ago, some people with leaflets knocked at the door and said 'hello we spoke to your father a few weeks ago'

    Ermm no that would be my husband.

    I agree that X Factor isn't as good this year, I'm enjoying Strictly more to be honest.

  • Comment number 17.

    Yay!! John Sargeant to win Strictly? Maybe not, but hey he is soooo entertaining!

    I reckon that Martin Clunes is the love-child of John Sargeant and Jo Brand.

    Oh and Aleesha Dixon's new single ..... Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

    Debbie I think it's run it's course really of producing fabricated five minute wonders and a stash of dosh.
    I think Leona Lewis has done well though and good for her. Not my sort of music but obviously popular with many a deaf ear!!!!

    Not really into Strictley not sure why that woman what's her name shouts all the time.

  • Comment number 21.

    I didn't like Aleesha's new single either. Very forgetable.

    I have no idea who I want to win right now really.

    Now Leona isn't really my 'cup of tea' either. And what happened to Shayne Ward, now he was luverly!

  • Comment number 22.

    Chris,

    Yes, I can see what you mean. There's nothing worse than seeing someone who, once upon a time looked fantastic, and now "old father time" has caught up with them.

    I know this sounds highly unlikely, but I have a photograph of myself aged 3 and I have exactly the same face! Certainly, a little (!) larger and I'm not quite the same dress size, but you can tell from a hundred yards it's me!

    So .... it's a dilemma, do you really want to look 51, when you are 3?!

    Am loving Strictly too and have always thought John S and Jo B look and sound like twins. Am loving Tom Chambers - gorgeous!! Think X Factor is boring but kids love it unfortunately....

    My son does a brilliant impression of Aleesha singing her new song, I actually quite like it, saw her with Mis-Teeq once at UEA!

    Would that be the Wivenhoe campus Steve? I think the Chelmsford one's gone all posh now - it's the Anglia Ruskin Uni or something like that. Still looks like the pits tho!

    If I got a double namecheck, does that mean I have to listen again again???

    Hello All
    Does anyone remember me? I used to be FriendoftheGrape (still am!!) but haven't contributed for so long, the ´óÏó´«Ã½ no longer recognised me... All sorts of problems getting it to like a new identity for me, hence the new name!
    I have been lurking of course and liked the way a new blogger (get me!!) summed it up - you do find yourself wondering how certain people are getting on with the things that are worrying them and the good bits too, of course! I've also tried to get on Facebook as I would like to see the photos from the recent meet at Docklands because I "recognise" so many of the names who were going. Kept getting tantilisingly close with groups - Chris Evans drivetime/friday requests etc - so if someone could help, I'd be grateful. So enough of me... To contribute, but don't you just love it when you meet someone you haven't seen for ages and you KNOW you haven't got as many wrinkles as her!! (OK I'm fatter, but lets just stick to the face for now!) I've also noticed that the girls who were the prettiest at school end up fairly ordinary in their maturer years, don't you think?? Off for a saucer of milk now... miaoww!!

  • Comment number 44.

    Hi, long time lurker here and i got as excited as the rest of you about CtD's mention.

    I caught some of their choices in the car but off the top of my head I can't remember any of them - memory recall is not one of my strong points.

    It was lovely typetalking with some of the bloggers this evening.

    The Restaurant was very good this evening and glad to see it for a change as my evening plans changed when my delivery didn't turn up at its destination so will be chasing it tomorrow.

    I've booked my flu jab and looking forward to a couple of days off work to do some retail therapy - yes I'm going into Bournemouth - not castlepoint (still not been in that place as yet).

    The workpeople are busy trying to think of team names for our CiN volleyball teams x 2 the themes will be school and I think prisoners (or should that be The Prisoner methinks) it was originally hawaiian.

    Chris- I'm 20 and got told by someone I just met that I looked 12, and a guy I kind of like thought I was 14.

    What does that mean?! I'll still look twelve when I'm forty?!

    Good morning

    I just caught up on some comments here from late last night.
    Very strange indeed.
    If anyone was to check the ´óÏó´«Ã½ data it would be discovered that I only have one log in.
    Just so I don't get the finger pointed at me!

    MizzDon Dee I can only imagine what your unspelt word in my name was.

    Spurs joke.

    A man walks into a pub with a small dog on a lead. He buys a drink and sits down with dog in front of the TV.

    It is saturday and the football scores are being given out.

    Soke City 2 Tottenham Hotspurs 1.

    "Oh no, not another defeat" says the dog.

    "Blimey" says the barman "your dog can talk".

    "Oh yes" says the man.

    "And he's a Spurs supporter".

    "Thats right".

    "And what does he say when they win?"

    "I've no idea" says the man, "I've only had him for six months"

    Morning groovsters

    I have to say, I find it incredibly flattering to be the topic of conversation on here - even in the wee small hours when I'm tuked up sound asleep in fluffy bunny land and unable to join in the fun.

    Tiggs, I now WANT divvy boys to win. There's something strangely cute about them!!

    Hello all from self-induced headache land.

    Black Kids were fabulous on Wednesday - Birmingham Carling Academy is a wicked venue if you ever get the chance to go.

    I think men age much better than women; a distinguished sprinkling of grey hairs and laughter lines look much better on them. Boo.

    Missed the news about jumpingbean - what did she have? How big? What's it called? I apologise for posting a baby-related theme but I'm dying to know the details.

    My ARF request this week: I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dace With You by Black Kids.

    Mouthful,
