Learning to fly - Pink Floyd

Mind you ... don't try the feathers and the jumping off cliffs at home ... or anywhere else for that matter ...

Ella Fitzgerald - Cry me a river

Not to be confused with Kelly Clarkson covering Justin Timberlake's

'Cry me a River' ... wearing a crochet knit top with a Val Halen cut-out ...

For me in the nineties and noughties I was "I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again" etc

Now in the tenties it's "country road, take me home to the place I belong" etc

Asian Girl - Day Above Ground

A bit of Chubawumba set's the mood for my Thailand adventures.....

We'll be singing
When we're winning
We'll be singing

4x
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down

Pissing the night away
Pissing the night away

He drinks a whisky drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a lager drink
He drinks a cider drink
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the good times
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the better times

"Oh Danny Boy
Danny Boy
Danny Boy..."

4x
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down

Pissing the night away
Pissing the night away

He drinks a whisky drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a lager drink
He drinks a cider drink
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the good times
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the better times

"Don't cry for me
Next door neighbour..."

16x
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down

We'll be singing
When we're winning
We'll be singing

How about the song " On and on"

But instead of Jamaica, it's Pattaya.

Down in Pattaya,

They have got lots of pretty women,

Steal your money and they'll break your heart..

I then thought geez I've been living this song for my two yearsin tThailand.

the ultimate song about Thailand

"The best things in life are free

But you can give them to the birds and bees

I want money

That's what I want. That's what I want. That's what I want.

Your love gives me such a thrill

But your love won't pay my bills

I want money

That's what I want. That's what I want. That's what I want.

Money don't get everything it's true

What it don't get, I can't use

I want money

That's what I want. That's what I want. That's what I want.

I want money

In fact I want so much money, give me your money

Just give me money"

Having had a holiday romance with a Quebec Canadian a few years ago on Koh Samui for three weeks.

Being the romantic that i am (thinking he would get in touch with me), i repeatedly listened to this song -

He never did get in touch, even though a friend of mine did see him in Pattaya two years later and he asked after me (calling me Jenny, which is not my name). That song still reminds me of him. I hope he's ok. And turned into the the biggest fat balding person with the biggest moobs in Montreal......

^^ Patsy ... thanks for sharing the story.

I'm a Dido fan, and that one is one of my favourites.

Good to see that there are still some romantics left ... we are a dying breed.

Vietnam was the place to get out of and Thailand was the place we wanted to go as I remember it back in the late 1960's when this song was a big hit on, "Good Morning Vietnam."

When you've spent enough time behind a bar .... you'll know this one has Thailand written all over it

Breaking Hearts

They used to say that boys are tough as nails
In every way he keeps his heart as guarded as a jail
Now things have changed, I feel so old
Like any girl could drag my heart across the coals

I was always there in the thick of things
I always had the heart of every woman on a string
The danger zone shone from my eyes
It seemed like every inch I gained became a mile

It's not the night reaching in and touching me
It's just that breaking hearts ain't what it used to be
It seems that time has killed that cruel streak in me
And breaking hearts ain't what it used to be

It's not the light shining in and catching me
It's just that breaking hearts ain't what it used to be
But time has come and cast a spell on me
And breaking hearts ain't what it used to be

And now I know what lonely means
I used to give so little and gain everything
The darkest part of every day
Is the shadow of another girl as she turns and walks away

Can't say I blame them all for being hurt
After all I treated each and every one like dirt
Who wants a heart that's never home
I face the facts and lock myself into a life alone

This is my pick:

Oh...and by the way...I also think it is the best song and video clip ever...no exceptions...
