Yes I’m slowly but surely running down my Drafts folder! Every week, Jim Adams gives us a particular theme for Song Lyric Sunday. I consciously try to come up with a song where the title matches the theme. Nice and obvious.
But sometimes I can’t think of a good title, and either the album name or some lyrics become fair game. The other week we had a theme of promises, and this was my very first thought, because UB40 once released an album called Promises and Lies. So, it was just a case of picking a song I liked from this album.
I chose what I thought was a decent song which people might remember but in the end I went with another song, which I thought was far more meaningful. UB40 have had a string of hit records, Promises and Lies was a #1 album in the UK (#6 USA), and this song itself reached #8 in the UK (#45 on the Hot 100). Despite that, it didn’t make the cut for me that day, but it’s a decent track and I thought people might enjoy it today.
Hope nobody’s sick of reggae just yet!

This brings back so many memories! I think I like your songs that got away more than the actual SLS-songs! 🎶🎷

1993 I think. I did look it up but I dropped it from the post.

Thank you for letting me know! I was just starting to be a teenager then, that can be such a special time. I had a good soundtrack as you see 🙂

Ah, but I am sorry, I think that might have been the last one. There might be one more.

Maybe there can be more in the future when some other songs stay behind in the drafts folder 🙂 I think it is a nice concept that came to life as a result of SLS 🙂

Yes I reckon you’re right, the supply will no doubt build again. I am only really posting them at the moment to try to raise a smile.
