Music bloggers and podcasters were asked describe the best song they’ve legally downloaded in the past month in the form of a journey.
Last month, I asked bloggers to describe the best song of the previous month in 12 syllables.

Eric Hamilton Knobtweakers
The Song: Ashbury (Morgan Page Remix) by Shine

stream:

The Journey: My heart would always race as I arrived at the late night teenage hang-out. Would she be there? I would swing by regularly, looking for her. If she wasn’t there, I’d leave, and come back later. I moved away for a while, and didn’t hear from her for years. She didn’t know if I was still alive. When I returned a friend told me she saw her, so I hit the road, and headed back, where we used to be… but are we the same? There she was, years later, as beautiful as ever. I guess we’ve changed a lot, and there’s no going back, but we’re still together.

Mike Smith, Nothing But Green Lights
The Song: You’re so Warm by Jamie Radford

Stream:

The Journey: Catching the last train in the middle of the night, he is by himself in a cold carriage with the windows stuck open. He chooses a seat facing the wrong way, unusually. He sits and watches the lights run past and away from him. After a normal stop in an unusual station, the usual girl comes and sits beside him, as usual he doesn’t say a word and as usual she talks all the way there. Unusually he laughs at her jokes.They leave the train when the sun starts to rise. They get to the airport and straight onto the waiting plane. She falls asleep, he begins saying all the things he can’t when she’s awake. They wish the journey would continue forever, but their batteries are about to run out.

Tim Young, The Face of Today
The Song: Dance Anthems by Hong Kong Cinema

Stream:

The Journey: Stumbling half cut out of the flat on my way to buy cigarettes I walk past the local pub. There’s a band blasting something out. I’m not really listening. I buy cigarettes but realise on the way back that I don’t smoke anymore.

DH, Short Attention Span Radio
The Song: Beanbag Chair by Yo Le Tango

Stream:

The Journey: I was lost, as usual. In fact I didn’t even know where I was headed. It was hot, and I needed to get somewhere, but somewhere wasn’t coming to me. I turned a corner. There, just passing the time, was an old friend. I had no idea we’d meet up now. We spent a while catching up, talking about what we were going to do, and went off for a drink. I didn’t care where I was going for a while after that.
