I was in town a couple of Saturdays ago taking some photographs when out of nowhere the heavens opened. I quickly took refuge in the nearest shop - H&M (other shelters are available) - while it blew over. Fifteen minutes later I walked out of the store with a brand new winter coat under my arm. How did that happen? I suddenly felt like a proper grown up.
On the bus home I was trying desperately to place the song that had been playing while I was at the till paying for my swanky new garment; I knew it, but I didn't know it. You know the feeling don't you? That's what a brilliant cover does to you.
On the way home, just as I was about to get off the bus, I said "DEPECHE MODE!" (rather too loudly) to the driver. Seems I am that nutter on the bus.
Carla Bruni - Enjoy the Silence (2017)
That's rather lovely actually.
ReplyDeleteIt caught me unawares. I don't mind telling you.
DeleteDepeche Mode keep popping up into my life recently. Not heard this cover before.
ReplyDeleteWe did 'Violator' as our comeback album after Covid for the vinyl session; what a record.
DeleteWhat TS said.
ReplyDeleteWe've all been the nutter on the bus at some point.
We have, Alyson, we have.
DeleteI really thought this story was going to involve you meeting Carla Bruni in H&M. Like maybe she was behind the till.
ReplyDeleteAh, you're confusing H&M Nottingham with the H&M on Stella Street.
