Sing me to sleep

Its only 12.39pm and i’m already having a pretty terrible day. My girlfriend and I have just broken up and as usual the only thing I can find solace in is music. This is why I love music so much, it can say everything my heart would like to – the things I can’t find the words to say or the emotions to express myself. It’s a release, and it’s quite often my only release.


Despite what you’re thinking this isn’t a negative entry, it’s positive because I’ve always got, and always will have music and it’s in times like this I appreciate it even more than normal.

In the immortal words of The Smiths:

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
I’m tired and I want to go to bed

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
And then leave me alone

Don’t try to wake me in the morning
cause I will be gone
Don’t feel bad for me
I want you to know
Deep in the cell of my heart
I will feel so glad to go

There is a better world
Well, there must be

Incidentally, as far as i’m concerned Asleep is the only good Smiths song but it is very, very good.

Having "grown up" in the early 80s, I was never a Smiths fan either Gareth.

Morrisey was a wanker then and is still a wanker now.
