My school life Playlist.

The following is a mixtape of songs that remind me of school life and growing up, here it goes...

1.       Pure and Simple – The Lightning Seeds (I remember growing up at a small age, and this was the song that I remember being played on the radio)

2.       You’re Gorgeous – Babybird (My Mum loves it, my Dad hates, I’m stuck in the middle, and from Primary school to today, I still sing it)

3.       Something 4 the weekend – Super Furry Animals (During the early day’s it was a song that I always remembered, and only in recent years have I found out the artist. It also happens to be one of my favourite songs of all time)

4.       Flying without wings – Westlife (I got bought a microphone to sing this song, I would also perform it at family gatherings, with Westlife on the CD player backing me up)

5.       Make Me Smile – Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel (Great song. Also used on a great TV show, Renford Rejects, the Nickelodeon days)

6.       Basic Thuganomics – John Cena (I remember watching Smackdown when I got home from school in the week, and on a Saturday morning. Before John Cena became the superstar of the industry he is today, he used to be the ‘Doctor of Thuganomics’, something I will never forget)

7.       Men’s Needs – The Cribs (Great guitar riff, something that would instantly hit me whenever I heard it on the radio)

8.       LSF – Kasabian (I remember going to Asda with my mum, shortly after the release of Kasabian’s debut album, I looked at it for about 10 minutes before deciding, no, I’m not going to buy it. Yes, I regret it)

9.       Tiger Feet – Mud (In recent months, this song has overtaken Come on Eileen as my Karaoke choice, we all love a bit of cheese on occasions)

10.   Bide Your Time – The Courteeners (Arguably, my favourite song, by my favourite band)

11.   You’re Not Alone – The Enemy (I have seen this band live numerous times, and this specific song is the set finisher, it is the finale of a great night, it also links into the ending of my school, which hasn’t been a bad gig either)

12.   Walkaway – Cast (I always remember hearing this song when I was a small boy, and I still hear a lot today. One of my favourites of all time. Maybe it also a fitting finish to the end of my school life)
