May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
In the final MMM before Christmas I didn’t really know what song I was going to choose. So much so that I started to look through the list of commercially released songs on Dream Giver Redux for some inspiration, and what I thought about doing initially was finding a song from more recent years to…
Listening to Bjork’s Hyper-Ballad while choosing this. Connection? No idea. But there is a beautiful melancholy to Hyper-Ballad that has me putting it on repeat.
