New Album #22-23: Striking a Chord

At school I loved Five, but after they split up it was all about Busted and McFly. In one of my yearbook’s my friend Jenny signed it with; ‘Can I be invited to yours and Charlie’s wedding?’ And by Charlie I mean Charlie from Busted.

Fast forward to last year and McFly and Busted joined forces and made an album which I listened to over the weekend. It was a good album and some songs struck a chord with me, in particular Gone.

Another album I listened to recently was Lionel Richie & The Commodores Definitive Collection. 

This was lent to me by my friend Penny (she’ll feature more in my next post) and I listened to part of it on the way to Abergavenny and the rest on my journeys to work. You can’t go wrong with a bit of Lionel and listening to all his hits you forget how much music he’s made. The first disc was mostly the upbeat classics and the second disc was the older, more meaningful songs. Like the McBusted album there was one song that struck a chord with me and that was a Commodores song called Still. I guess it’s always nice in a way when a song strikes a chord with you, it sort of makes you realise that whatever you’re going through, you’re a) not going through it alone and b) someone else has been through what you’re going through before and came out the other end.
