Song For Whoever. We’ve all got them, haven’t we? Songs that we really love to sing along to while driving in our cars or songs that mark individual moments in our lives. I’ve got a whole library full of those, multiple compilation tapes in old money. A whole archive of lyrics and tunes that stir these inept, clumsy feet when nobody’s looking or lift this tired, old heart, teasing out memories, both good and bad for me to soak in.

A little departure from my reminisces in as much as I choose ten songs that changed the way I feel about the world. My type of 'tism loves a list #life #memories #blog #music #stories #keane #georgemichael #OMD #paulheaton #petshopboys #kirstymaccoll #howardjones #johnnycash #family #songs #top10

Today, the theme is ‘a song that starts with F’ for #Day6 of #DavidsMonthOfMusic… one fave “Fragile” by the legend #Sting (1988), or I could have “Fairytale Of New York” by #ThePogues with #KirstyMacColl from 1987, although it is now after the twelfth day of Christmas…. Both excellent songs!!

I get so annoyed when I see it credited here as “The Pogues”. It would have been nothing without Kirsty’s magnificent vocals. #kirstymaccoll

Day 23 of the Underplayed Christmas Carol Advent Calendar written over a postcard of Minneapolis that has 3 images—top, a pavement princess known as “Frankenhooker” peddles her wares outside a hotel; in the bottom left, we have Kirsty leaning and singing on a Shane MacGowan powered piano against a retro Minneapolis bar-lounge; and in the bottom right, we have the main selection’s artist, a tiny Tom Waits singing on stage to an empty, retro dining room.

Today a thematic paring: 2 of the best written Xmas songs ever. Rock Hall of Famer Tom Waits sings with the gravely voice of a bluesman that a critic described as “soaked in a vat of bourbon, left hanging in the smokehouse for a few months, and then taken outside and run over with a car"—or as Bob Dylan calls it, “beautiful;” Waits once sang in a less affected way until encouraged to sound more like Cookie Monster by his wife, Kathleen Brennan. I always remember Waits admitting to Terry Gross that even he “wonders to what degree he’s a true eccentric or a guy in a funny hat”—so many may find it surprising Waits is long-married to his songwriting partner, the best couple collaborators since Sheeley & Cochran—albeit with more longevity and sophistication. Tom also acts, including a career best, his bum cameo in the Fisher King.

Fairytale of NY was underplayed in the US, but has become the most-played Xmas song in the 21st C. But it’s a favorite and pairs perfectly with the main pick and the theme (bonus). Shane was 🇮🇪’s greatest songwriter, born on Xmas day, died during Xmas season, and eulogized in front of the 🇮🇪 President as a cosmonaut who cowrote a song with a hallucinated Freddy Krueger. Kirsty also died during Xmas, saving her son from a drunk Mexican millionaire’s motorboat in waters designated swimming only. It’s an ironic death for the daughter of 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿’s Pete Seger (even married Pete’s sis Peggy), socialist folkie Ewan MacColl. Kirsty’s best album Kite eerily resonates with her self-sacrifice.

#KirstyMacColl night on BBC4. Amazing writer, singer wit. That London tradition of a song that tells a story. So much missed. ❤️
