Late School, Early Life tracks

When I was at school, I LOVED the Cowboy Junkies, and then went to see them live in a small intimate little place when I was at University. They were great. These two tracks really bring back those years between 18 and 22, when I always seemed to by cycling somewhere, to lectures, to work at the local pub, to training. Just listening to these tracks puts me straight back on that bike, straight back into that time. It was fun, it was not as great as the time I always think the 18-22 year olds are having when I see them out and about now, but it was definitely some of my tracks for that time.







Teendom

One band will always remind me of my early teenage years, in all their ghastly teenaged angst and misery. Dire Straits are still great. I still love them. I can't hear any of their songs without thinking of my friends from that time, still with me, still laughing together. We made it through teenagedom, we'll make it through anything else life has to throw at us.

2 songs in particular, because they are great. Why Worry because it was a bit of a mantra and Walk of Life, because we spent quite a lot of time making up our own walk. What can I say? We were 13.
