They were banned in her strictly religious home, which is probably why she liked to sing them! ;-)Viktoria Berghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00608160759512904861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1842696449468310509.post-49796971551265817302014-11-24T18:21:44.721+01:002014-11-24T18:21:44.721+01:00I remember I heard some of my friends talking abou...I remember I heard some of my friends talking about the fuss their parents made about the music they liked. I asked Mother what she thought, and she said that the music from her youth often didn't make much sense either. She offered "Mairzy Doats" as an example lol I thought that was a good attitude.Divers and Sundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759655568104782267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1842696449468310509.post-24110571718992939742014-11-24T18:14:43.475+01:002014-11-24T18:14:43.475+01:00It´s probably much to do with youth.

The quality of some of the songs is sad. I'll say, "I know all the words to this song," and my daughter will say, "Well, that wouldn't be hard." lol Divers and Sundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759655568104782267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1842696449468310509.post-9729320985819053712014-11-24T17:58:46.055+01:002014-11-24T17:58:46.055+01:00I do kind of envy her.

It must be great to be able to focus, whatever is going on around you. <br />One thing that really annoys me about my brain, is that it tends to remember the lyrics to songs I loath much better than lyrics to songs I love. There are some horrid tunes etched into the recesses of my brain forever - sometimes one pop up and my brain dances around with it for weeks and weeks (until it gets a new toy).

I am also a fan of jazz, blues, and folk, and even had a period in my life when I went for techno stuff like Einstürzende Neubauten (that´s German for collapsing new buildings, which is pretty much what they used to sound like! lol). What I have always lacked is the ability for casual listening - when music is on, I find it hard to focus on anything else. Perhaps knitting, but even that, less and less.
