Music, words, places, people. Pedantic and cronish with goth tendencies. Tries to be kind.

To add: the other week I (an older woman, alone) went to a gig and sat next to 2 young Goths who were so thoughtful, even making sure I was OK in the crush leaving at the end. So yes, spot on.

Yes it's worth the read, and you can look for links to The Cure in it. ( I think the Wish cover is from it, but others don't agree)
Such a good song! 🖤❤️🖤

Day 25, bone.

No-one seems to have added this one, which I almost made my top choice. So...

'Now all the broken children from every broken home
They'd come and live in a palace of bone'

Day 25, bones.

Exhausted after a stressful week? Here's what to do. Lie down on the sofa. Press play. Close your eyes. Breathe deeply, breathe slowly. Listen.

Better? Good.

You're welcome.

I refer you and @tgcharton.bsky.social to my earlier post on #TheCureFriday ❤️🖤❤️ 😉
And this, children, is why punk happened. #totp 1976
This is like buskers on the tube, isn't it. Just sing a bit to some taped backing. #totp And I think I prefer the Kings Cross buskers.
Good, isn't it! A nice thing to find today.
You'll survive. I did. I am told by my 5yr old relative I have to be the orange haired girl. *shrugs*
Yay, half term! That was me when I taught. Now, please spare a thought for those of us who have to step up and do the childcare for our grandchildren! 🫣
Luckily, I missed most of 1998 because I had a bad case of tiny children exhaustion. No loss, it seems. #totp
And the cocktail trolley, don't forget that.

You've cast your pearls, but you're on the run

I love love love that bit of film! (I'd forgotten about #thecurefriday, watch this space...)
Required watching. Every single year.
Quite a Cure list on this prompt isn't there! X

Day 24, Dreams or nightmares

'People seemed so close
Playing expressionless games
People seemed so close
So many other names
Sometimes I'm dreaming'
