I remember my Spanish husband’s mum singing in the kitchen ‘Que sera sera’ (the full Spanish version) a song my grandma would also sing in the kitchen (the English version).
It felt like a message from beyond, and the message from the song 🎵 ‘whatever will be will be, the future is not ours to see’ 🎵 only became poignant after her passing.
I particularly enjoy the picture of the boys, you can see them singing it! It’s looking back on photos like that where we realise this moment is so special. 💗
Am going to try not to go down the rabbit hole until I've finished at least 2 tasks I've set for myself this morning... then I will treat myself by looking her up 🤣🤣
Love this Emma (and will now be singing Electric Dreams for the rest of the day)
For me, I think music is a time portal, transporting me to different eras of my life...
Crowded House's 'Don't Dream It's Over' is my teenage bedroom, recording songs off the top 40
Sister Sledge's 'We are Family' is University days in the Cardiff Students Union 70s night, dancing with my girlfriends ('I've got all my sisters with me')
The Cranberries always take me to post-university days in Brighton
Radiohead and Massive Attack transport me to my early 20s living in London
Beth Orton takes me to my 30s and the era where I first met my partner
Oh all brilliant tunes and what lovely memories!! Yep an autobiography in music - that’s exactly. Music is so powerful in transporting us - it’s such a joy ❤️
I love music as a connection to loved ones.

Aah that's so lovely - and yes we get so much meaning from the words once they are gone. It's quite beautiful x
Don’t we, it truly is.
I was meaning to ask, would you have heard of Nuala Moore? As you enjoy your cold water swimming 🏊
Ooh no I haven't! I shall her up... x
Do! She’s achieved many firsts and incredible things. Her book is called Limitless x

Haha you’re a disciplined woman! Good on you. Enjoy the reward once you’ve done your tasks 🤣
So I would go with:
Going Underground - the Jam
Waiting for a Star to Fall
Never Ending Story

Great post Emma!
I think for me, it’s Shining Light, the Annie Lennox version.
“You arrive and the night is alive” just captures such feelings for me, with regards to Lisa xx
“Roman candles that burn in the night
Yeah, you are a shining light
You lit a torch in the infinite
Yeah, you are a shining light
Yeah, you light up my life
You've always been a thorn in their side
But to me you're a shining light
You arrive and the night is alive
Yeah, you are a shining light
Yeah, you light up my life“
Oh I love that!! That is just so so beautiful. That has made my heart very happy today ❤️
