CD Singles - Reviews by Magic Marmalade« Member PageMagic Marmalade 2nd May 2022 | | CD SingleBirth - Found A Way Out (2000) | ReviewVery deceptive CD this...
I thought it would be, judging by the cover (as you do :) that it might be the girl on the cover was the artist, as either singer / songwriter, maybe electronic artist, but actually this artist is an indie group (male singer) who have a very easy listening / middle of the road, Indie Eagles sound.
(Quite a good cover of the Black Sabbath song, later done by Osbourne and Daughter).
Fairly good all round, a bit slow, but tuneful, and a little better than average.

| Magic Marmalade 15th Jan 2022 | | CD SingleDonna Lewis - I Love You Always Forever (Radio Edit) (1996) | ReviewWelcome to my happy place!
Some songs attach themselves to you like barnacles on a whale's ass for happy reasons, and others sad... But this one stood for me as a little refuge in my mind when at a low ebb all those years back when it was released, so while of a not so great time, it reminds me of a little glimmer of sunshine cheese in an otherwise dark universe.
When I used to switch on VH1 at 4 in the morning before lurching off to my cruddy, soul destroying job, I used to hang a round for an extra few minutes before leaving, so I could see this video, for a little pick me up (Or maybe I used this as an excuse to leave for work later!).
And the thing is, because it hadn't clung to any particular person, or event in my life, I'd totally forgotten about it, until, a couple of months ago, it was used in a Booking.com advert on the TV:
"No way! - I rmember that!....erm... what's it called?"
So one of those songs that climbed out of nowhere , and for no particular reason, from the dark, forgotten recesses of the mind of a sudden, and kicks you in the balls: "Surprise!".
Having hunted it down again though, all these years later, I'm not ashamed to say I've been watching the video (ahem) "Occasionally", as soft a spongy place to park my brain before the horrors of the modern world invade my brain space again, and resume their assault on my already dubious sanity.
(Ah, Donna, won't you come and take me away from all this, to live with you in that honey coloured rotating box of happy, with you're oddly structured song, forever more?!!!)
