A Tape for Baby Rosie
Pete Edwards from North Wales returns to share a playlist for his daughter, including Yann Tiersen, Fatboy Slim, Radiohead, Sam and Dave and Louis Prima.
Today, Pete Edwards from Llanberis, in North Wales, returns to speak to us from The National Mountain Centre* in Snowdonia where he met his partner Emily. *(his view from work is pictured)
Last August, he shared his playlist for Emily, and now it鈥檚 time to hear his tape for Rosie (born 10th February 2017).
Pete says: 鈥淚t actually started just before she was born; hence the track Hold On I'm Coming! From there, it鈥檚 made up of songs that have had some meaning on her and on us since she was born. The line "I鈥檓 having a baby" in Fly Boy Blue obviously struck a chord with me around the time she was born.
Later, it was hilarious and amazing to see Rosie at six months old with a look of total bemusement when the synthesiser in Donna Summer's I Feel Love came through the speakers. Likewise, to see her suddenly banging on the table to Breathe by the Prodigy.
The first film we sat her down to watch was Jungle Book, so that had to feature and some tracks are just songs that I wanted her to hear, to experience and to form the foundation of her musical education.
Music had such an enormous impact on us getting together; it only seems fair to give our daughter a taste of that as she starts her own journey in life.鈥
