We write about the songs that make the whole world sing, we write about the songs of love and special things, we write about the songs that make the young girls cry, we write about the songs, we write about the songs.

The Book of Love
Dear James,
Two terrible things happened today. First of all, I sat through the entirety of Richard Gere's "Shall We Dance". I could claim that I was looking for flats in the classified ads while viewing, but I still saw more than I wanted to see. The film is mentioned in my novel, so I did have a research basis for watching a film I'm supposed to have seen, but even so.
The second bad thing: Towards the end of the film, a strangely familiar song could be heard, but one that had clearly been bastardised beyond recognition. I thought it might be Rod Stewart. It turned out it was Peter Gabriel, doing this to this lovely song. He should know better. And I got through it all without smoking.
