Song I'm loving at the moment - Roy Orbison - I Drove All Night


There is something about this song that is just so sweet to me. This isn't the first version of this song that I have heard (Céline Dion, Cyndi Lauper), but this is my favorite.

Also, there is a bit of a joke about about Roy Orbison that endears me to this more (listen to 'The F Plus' you jerks! It's an early episode and you will damn well love it!)


To me, it speaks of longing. Of travelling and going out of your way as a indication of your love for someone.
It is a song of forbidden love or love not previously expressed, perhaps out of fear.
*I may be projecting a narrative on to this song, like I do to strangers on the train.

Give it a listen yourself! :)

Song I'm loving at the moment - Brandy Clark - Girl Next Door



I typically am not a country and western girl! I AM NOT! 
This came on the radio whilst driving and it resonated with me, enough to remember it when I got home to look it up (don't use your phone while driving, eggs!).

Give it a listen! You waste more time watching a bad movie.

Songs mean different things to different people, part of the beauty of it. So what does this song mean to me?
- Don't try to change people and/or me.
- We aren't all the same.
- I am not vanilla and will never meet your vanilla ideals.

On the far right of the photo and not giving a damn!
