Yeah, this probably isn't great music.
But it's good pop. And it's on youtube. So I can indulge without shame.

Stumbled on another one of his (Darius Danesh) songs earlier, and it brought it all back. Moving to Leicester, still in love with the evil ex, working 60 hours a week, driving home after a late night supermarket shift (5 hours before having to get up and work in an office) and singing along to this album at the top of my voice. When I was in funds I might stop for a kebab. When I wasn't I'd be terrified that I didn't have enough petrol to get home.

If I was asked at the time if I was happy I might have hesitated. In hindsight... Well, that's why this song puts a lump in my throat, I don't expect anyone else to revere it the way I do.

But tomorrow I'll be singing, "I am incredible, I am amazing" just to cheer myself up... Of course that's what I used to sing!
