This BBC short, played between programmes was never intended to be a commercial pop video, but was released (so they say) purely to answer public demand...
MADONNA ~ VERAS
Spanish version of You'll See, which is a really good tune with a really good vocal:
The English lyrics sum up my attitude to relationships:
You think that I can't live without your love ~
You'll see
You think I can't go on another day
You think I am nothing
Without you by my side...
You'll see ~ somehow, someday...
TRAINSPOTTING
I haven't the patience to read a book in Scottish and the film annoys me because it doesn't tell the "truth" about heroin... it leaves so much out!
OVERDOSE
I had a heroin death-wish for such a long time. Eventually I had to confront the reality that I HAVE to live. Don't even know why most of the time. Just have to ....

ReplyDeleteWhitenoise: aye, I always do. I just end up taking the odd step backwards sometimes... (ahem!)
ReplyDeleteBeatifnik: I'm trying to write a book. Hopefully that will be MORE compelling...
Jeannie: I never got what heroin was about until I tried it. All I knew was it had some magical property that could make people live in squalor and still be in love with the drug... but when I first tried it it just made me feel hot, woozy and slightly sick and I wish I'd left it there!
syd: I've heard that. I remember from past experience that e.g. when I got a part-time job at 2.5 hours per week ~ a fulltime one came out of it literally one week later. So I know what you're saying... I just find it hard to keep my mind focused on all that a lot of the time, y'know...
